The murder of 18-year-old Lily Sullivan by Lewis Haines has not prompted a huge amount of coverage, but the sheer casualness of this 31-year-old man's evil is terrifying. A man who killed a woman because she rejected him.
These are the words read in court from Lily's mum Anna:
The United States we know today was built with the labor of enslaved Black Americans. The last were not freed (officially) until 19 June 1865. Let us celebrate— and never forget.
You’re not lazy. You’re tired. You’ve been living in survivor mode for so long. Your mind is exhausted! You’re still processing trauma. Be kind to yourself, please.
I think men who help you with everyday responsibilities are so underrated. I don’t need gifts when you’re making my life easier by helping me with cleaning or running errands for me.
