  1. you pronounce it like "app uh latch uh" not "app uh laysh uh" and that's not a regionalism. that's not a quaint southern way of saying it. #Appalachia is named after the #Apalachee #people who sought refuge in this region during the indigenous genocide waged by our #colonizing founders in #Florida. i'm done having this conversation with y'all. i know you think you're dunking on hillbillies but surprise! it was actually anti-indigenous #racism! again!

  3. "Colin Gray did not phone or drive to the school even after receiving disturbing text messages from his son & later from his daughter, a student at the middle school next door to #Apalachee, which also went on #lockdown after the #shooting.

    Instead, the elder Gray told investigators that he left work, went home & turned on the tv, where he saw #news of the attack, an agent testified. He then checked to see if the #gun he had given Colt Gray for #Christmas was in the house & found it missing."

  16. I didn't want to just repost this without a warning.

    It's a photo of an art piece I remember seeing a few years back -- can't remember anything more of its context.

    The image depicts a little girl "crucified" on the back of a man in a red hoodie. He has three guns, and spent ammunition is scattered on the floor.

    "It doesn't have to be this way." -- #KamalaHarris

    No, it really fucking does not.

    Average of 1.5 #MassShootings EVERY DAY so far this year.

    That's hundreds of lives extinguished because assholes won't give up their guns, and asshole corporations won't stop paying politicians to consecrate gun ownership, and asshole politicians won't stop feeding their own greed instead of protecting the vulnerable.

    It NEVER had to be this way.
