DO YOU GET IT NOW!?
THIS IS NOT A FUCKING GAME!
PEOPLE ARE KILLING US EVERY DAMN DAY BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT EVERYONE’S LIVES WOULD BE BETTER OFF IF THE DISABLED WERE DEAD! THEY’VE BEEN DOING IT FOR CENTURIES AND THEY’RE STILL DOING IT! SO DON’T YOU DARE SIT THERE AND PRETEND THAT YOU’RE NOT ADDING TO THAT DAMAGE, THAT YOU’RE JUST WRITING FICTION, THAT IT WAS JUST FOR SHOCK VALUE OR TO SEND A MESSAGE BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU WRITE A CHARACTER WHO THINKS THAT THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER IF THERE WAS ONE LESS CRIPPLE, THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO IS SHARING THAT SAME EXACT PHILOSOPHY, ONLY WHILE YOU GET TO GO HOME TO YOUR DAMN MANSIONS AND RAKE IN YOUR MONEY, THEY GO OUT AND THEY GET A GUN, A KNIFE, A GUN, AN ICE PICK, AND THEY TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO RID THE WORLD ONE CRIPPLE AT A TIME!
SO THE NEXT TIME YOU’RE SITTING AT YOUR LAPTOP, READY TO KILL OFF ANOTHER CRIPPLE, JUST REMEMBER THAT IN THE REAL WORLD, SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO BEAT YOU TO IT.
…Sorry I just…really needed to get that off my chest.
Sorry.
Yeah, they do it to demonstrate evil. If you show a character is fascist, that’s to remind people that real life fascists exist and are a danger to innocent people.
You know what, mate, normally I’m a very passive and easygoing person but I’m currently reeling over a killing spree that left twenty disabled people dead and fifty more injured so I’m going to ask you with the utmost politeness to shut. up.

This is supposed to be a month of Pride. a month where the LGBTQIAP+ community stands up collectively to celebrate our identities, our worth, and our communities bravery as a whole. It’s a month to remember LGBTQ history, the things they don’t tell you in the history books: the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the assassination of Harvey Milk, the AIDS Crisis, the legalization of same sex marriage in various countries, people killed for loving someone, and most importantly: the worth of each queer individual and the validation of their identity. Instead I have kids on the internet and in real life (who barely understand who they are, who were just coming to terms with their identities) scared that they will be the next victim of hate. I have mainstream media ignoring the fact that this mass shooting, one of the deadliest in US history, took place at an LGBTQ nightclub on Latinx night. Instead they focus on the shooters ties to “extremist Islam”. They ignore the bravery that the victims held in choosing to go out and celebrate their truth, despite hatred still very real within the USA; the bravery the rest of the community has in still finding something to celebrate this Pride month. I have friends and strangers around the world banding together to spit in the face of this hate. So much love has gone around, but we are all so tired. Now people have to once again decide if their identity is worth dying for. Is it worth going to a Pride Parade if there’s a chance you could die?
Next time someone asks why there isn’t a Straight Pride, why “the gays” still need pride “they can get married now, what more do they need?” I want them to be gently reminded of this day where over 50 people lost their lives, and even more were injured physically and psychologically due to one man’s hatred of people he didn’t understand and did not want to understand. I want them to be reminded of the decades of persecution: from Oscar Wilde, Roger Casement, the LGBTQ victims of the Holocaust, the Lavender Scare, and now Pulse in Orlando (and this is just in Western culture, just a brush with the suffering those in the LGBTQ community have faced). To any of you still reading who are LGBTQIAP+, I applaud your bravery of living your truth, even if it is only with yourself. Stay brave, keep loving the world and especially yourself, and know that it has to get better because you and I and individuals like us are the future.
My deepest condolences to the victims and their friends and families, rest in peace and know that you are loved by many.

On April 24, 1915, exactly 100 years ago today, the Armenian Genocide began.
The mass liquidation of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire was brought to fruition by the Young Turk government. At least 80% of the Armenian Ottoman population was marched to the Syrian desert and perished.
Turkey has denied the genocide’s existence ever since. Today, it is still an unrecognized event. Obama has officially
stated he will not recognize it as a genocide to secure ties with
Turkey, and many other countries follow suit.On the eve of World War II, Hitler justified his own similar actions by stating, “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” The denial of the Armenians inspired Hitler’s own genocidal Holocaust, and every genocide after.
For the sake of all genocide prevention, it is vitally important these injustices are recognized. The Armenians are not invisible.
