"I'm tired, boss... Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it - it's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?"

I really appreciate your message and post. I think we all need to process and grieve and then move toward the fight. We need everyone.

A wise friend once said, "you should wipe your ass before you clean your home" he meant it literally, but I like the phrasing.

Get involved in local politics. Do you know the name of your Town's mayor? I didn't. Fucking former prison warden. I don't recall voting for him.

I fucking knew Ive been spotting more of those fuckers who don't show up when you're getting mugged

The horrors persist, but so do we.

We can get through this if we fight like hell and work together.

I won't go quietly into that good night, I'll be kicking, screaming, clawing, and biting. And if I'm not alone then we have a chance to make sure that what comes to pass is a new dawn.

Edit: Also here's a link to the artist's etsy page for this sticker. NGL I wish they had an enamel pin for this one.
