APPROPRIATE?

No, not the Broadway play, although I did see it a few months ago. I’m talking about the concept.

This morning before dawn I was blindsided by an Instagram post of the bloody contents of someone’s toilet. It looked like a miscarriage, and in fact, the poster asked her followers if they thought it was.

Yes. Seriously.

But here are my questions:

Do I want to see the bloody remnants of someone’s miscarriage on my social media feed?

Is it appropriate to share such a photo in a public venue where people can come across it unexpectedly?

Is it in good taste?

An emphatic NO is the only appropriate answer to all of these questions.

What is wrong with people, these days?
