When Someone You Know On the Internet is Wrong

A friend's new boyfriend posted some bullshit and I called him on it. I am literally shaking with rage. The guy has been quite nice the couple of times I've met him, so sharing some vile racist bs--which likely came from Russian trolls--was unexpected and infuriating. I'm having to remind myself that 1) sometimes all you can do is call out the shit, and 2) sometimes people are going to be wrong. Healthy limits, blah blah. (Do I get points for not texting my friend and telling her to dump his sorry ass?)

It doesn't help I can feel myself coming down with a cold fairly quickly. I have a headache, the feeling of phlegm, cold feet, etc. etc. and am cranky. I did some easy tasks--printing out travel and conference documents for next week--but feel overwhelmed and unable to deal.
