Safety First

If you see a risk that others take,
That puts their health or life at stake.
The question asked, or thing you say,
Could help them live another day.

Practice safety, and clean safely.

Poem about excerpted from a linger piece by Don Merrell called I Chose To Look The Other Way.

Please be aware if you are on Goodreads about this person asking to be friends. I don't like his intentions and I don't want any people to get hurt. I might be over reacting but it doesn't sound good to me.

dariazeoli Unfortunately there are several of the accounts - as soon as I see the description, I ignore. Trolls? Bots? GR seems like the oddest place for them to turn up! 6y

tpixie How weird!! 6y

Birdsong28 @dariazeoli It does seem odd as it's the last place for people like this to turn up as it's just a book tracking app in essence as I know there are social groups but it's not like all the others i.e Facebook, Instagram and so on that is to 'talk' to people. Have flagged it though just in case. 📚📖 6y

Zelma I‘ve noticed a few questionable people here too. I think it‘s unavoidable on social media but I was enjoying Litsy as a troll-Free space for awhile. 6y

tessavi These kind of accounts seem to pop up on Goodreads lately 🤨 I alwasy check the profile and if we have books in common before adding anyone. 6y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled 😬 yikes I‘ve set my Goodreads account so someone has to answer the question “how do we know each other?” with their friend request. 6y

GingerAntics Wow. That‘s upfront. Lovely. @zelma I‘ve started noticing the trolling as well. That‘s what spawned me getting rid of inactive and trolling accounts from my follows list and following list. I‘m doing my best to keep my Litsy experience troll free. I figure if we all block the trolls they‘ll eventually go away. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y

Leftcoastzen Ew 6y

Zelma @GingerAntics I go through my follow list every few months and delete anyone who is inactive or never posted past when I started following them. It works well for me. 😁 6y

GingerAntics @Zelma it makes sense. I‘ll probably do that now, too. It‘s crazy that the book social media world is being invaded by the thing we all seem to have fled. Someone got propositioned in Litsy the other day. It‘s madness. 6y

CouronneDhiver Ew. 😕 6y

BooknerdsLife Wow! That is creepy as hell 🙄😕 6y

Well, after going back and forth about it for a few weeks, I gave in and ordered two different sizes of a #bookbeau. I am so in love, especially with the space one 😍😍😍

Lovesbooks87 I ordered some too. Mine are supposed to be here tomorrow! 7y

Welp. I'm officially frightened about Irma because I just used up a large amount of plastic garbage bags to protect my beautiful books. May they make it through this unscathed.
