This past week the unthinkable happened. I was tagged in a
horribly, sexually explicit Facebook post. I wasn’t the one who discovered the
post, either. It was my good friend, Angie Arndt. She saw the post, with my
name attached, and was a good enough friend to contact me and let me know.
Let me say right now, bringing a post like that to someone’s
attention is difficulty and the most loving thing you can do. Please do not
ever hesitate to let someone know if they’ve been tagged in an inappropriate
post. After Angie contacted me, even as
social media savvy as I am, I did the same thing most of you would have done, I
panicked.
I immediately did the wrong things, in the wrong order, and
then spent the next hour undoing them, and doing the right things.
