Zion Williamson with a pretty accurate description of the Crescent City and its people: "New Orleans energy is different. The city is not for everybody, because it’s more raw honesty. If you can’t handle people telling you the truth, it’s going to be a tough place for you."
@cosmosarcive Exactly why we will always be alone and unfortunately never make contact with any other intelligent life. Sucks but true. Now maybe reallocate some funds to this planet.
This is my hometown, and we love vigils and bullshit.
Eight years ago, my son Joaquin Oliver was murdered after being shot four times in the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Last December, Donovan Joshua, a friend of Joaquin whose life was profoundly altered after the school shooting, died by suicide with a gun when he was only 26 years old.
On April 1st, Nancy Metayer, who happened to be Donovan’s sister, was found dead in her home in Coral Springs after her abusive partner decided to use a gun and end her life.
Same town. Same destiny.
There is no difference between these tragedies. They hurt equally, and they are all the result of a community that forgets too fast and too conveniently.
We answer with vigils, candles, and prayers to distract ourselves from a political and social force that promotes arming our town so we can all protect one another from each other.
I do not buy that narrative, I say FU@K THAT. YES, FU@K THAT. And fuck anyone who decides to treat this as normal.
If we do not reject this NOW, the next victims will be on us because, in my reality, your thoughts, prayers, and inaction are called complicity.
@FletcherWDSU Horrible idea, we the fans love Zion, Kat we will not love just like all his other fan bases that don’t love him.
Terrible terrible trade that would be for us.
