My 9 year old was wearing a red outfit to school today. Before we left he said "I hope no bullets get fired into my class today. No one will be able to see the blood on my clothes and won't know if I've been hit".
He's NINE.

Listen, if it's musically based I know a lot of random shit that I feel perfectly fine word vomiting at you.
I think a key part of the conversation around mass shootings, and particularly the ones we've seen this week, is how this is what happens in a society where people's basic needs aren't being met.
@TomHoefWrites@AyannaPrescod I totally found CANNIBAL before South Park ๐๐๐ for me it was like "oh a show by the guys who made CANNIBAL? What fun!" (Why yes I am a geriatric millennial, what gave it away?)
My husband's grandma at 87ish one day was like, I just need some pep up pills!
And my first reaction was well yeah, let's go get the lady some speed, she's earned it.
The rest of the family looked horrified.
@JAC_OnTheBrazos @RottenInDenmark Yuuuuup. An old friend of my husband's was like "oh this guy! Used to date absolute COWS!" I was like "excuse me, tf? I'm fat & RIGHT HERE MY DUDE". Friend says no not like you, like 250 lb girls.
His face when I told him I'm literally 250 lbs.
And then said "no you're not".
One time a cashier making small talk asked me what kind of cats I had (I was buying cat food). I said cats & he was like no what breed & all I had to offer was Bar Cat-adopted from a bar patron for a jack & coke and Outside Cat- adopted from the crack house down the street.
@Dreadful4Tymes My next door neighbor is in an abusive relationship & has called the cops a few times. Apparently unless he admits to hitting her, the cops won't arrest him??? Just tell him to settle down or whatever???
The absolute fuck.
