RE: SteemitPoetryContest #10 - WART
haha your contributions are always amusing ! :D
btw we have a contest at @arabsteem account, and it's open for all, you might want to contribute as I know you just love contests and challenges lol
I went and checked out the contest. (I even gave it a full upvote 😎)
However, it's not clear that it's open to anyone. It really seems like it's for Arabic folks. Which is cool... but you MAY not have noticed... I'm not Arabic😏
I know a few words and a song in the language, but my skin is about as white as it gets without being Albino! 😄
I don't wanna ruffle any feathers by entering.
And really, this is coming the day after I've had to help a DEAR friend deal with some crazy crap re: cultural appropriation. Oh... that term... It's like the goal is to get everyone in a tiny little box and never let anyone see into anyone else's box. So weird.🤔
Anywho- I know YOU aren't like this, but those that are may come out of the woodwork to stand up for (in this case) the Arabic community.
It's a hard, sad line I walk as a super-friendly whitey. Outside of here people are pretty rude just based on skin color. I'm super glad I've not noticed anything like that here yet. I suppose it's on my mind from this weekend's Facebook fiasco. 😒
Maybe I'm being crazy. Maybe I'm just scerred. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's the goal of the Social Justice Warrior, though that's not even clear.
I'll support y'all...from afar for now. 😉
hahaha Carrie, it is open for everyone .. trust me, i created it LOL. I am the founder of arabsteem project and key supporter :) and no one is being offended by anyone's contributions, we are all here together on steemit
Says here:

I'm gonna add some more notes to highlight that it is open for all, if you missed it, others might have as well !
While I am trying to help and grow Arabic community here, but the ultimate purpose is to assist steemit overall grow as well :)
I am waiting for your submission, your husband's too, if you please :D and feel free to spread the news too lol
Okay. Okay. You've convinced me. Plus, I really like meeting people from other parts of the world...
Let me go get my best antique-y looking objects....😍 Or maybe something that I hold dear, but no one else does. 😁
Well, now I'm all excited. Look what you did!
(OMG. That Bitmoji is awsome.)
hahah love your enthusiasm ! :D
