One of the best parts of #BravoCon is when you’d hear screams erupting and see people with their phones out as someone made their way through the crowd flanked by security as if the person was Lady Gaga or something, and it was actually, like, Dorit Kemsley. Absolute heaven.
When you call white nationalist shooters mentally ill you are giving them a free pass that they then use to try to get a lighter court sentence to escape accountability for murder. Stop doing it. Hatred is not a mental illness it is learned.
It’s not SSRIs. Iceland: biggest user of antidepressants; low rates of gun violence.
It’s not video games. Japan: among the largest markets for video games; low rates of gun violence.
It’s not weed. Israel: biggest user of cannabis; low rates of gun violence.
It’s the guns.
comfort to every human being who feels afraid right now. i feel afraid too. it is okay to feel afraid and tender now. soon, the anger returns and we fight like bloody hell. first the pain, then the mother fucking rising.
i was feeling icky and down and i knew i should go for a walk but i didn't want to but i went anyway and i saw a dog also taking a walk and she was wearing sneakers. four sneakers. on her four feet. so maybe go for a walk? love.

Mental illness
Bullying
Hollywood
Socialism
Single parents
Ritalin
Everything but easy access to guns...
