“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

that moment when your parents are having a “discussion” with your sibling and your sibling looks at you with a face begging for help and you’re just like——nope. no no no. nuh-ah. i have self preservation instincts thanks and get out of there as quickly as you can without making any sudden movements to move your parents ire towards you. no i don’t care how betrayed you look sibling dearest, i care about my survival more than yours.

what is it like to not live in fear

ok so,

everyone is always saying that Shuri and Peter are the new science bros(which I agree), but y’all are crazy if you don’t think those funky little genius gen z babies wouldn’t call themselves the science hoes

Today I was talking to my mom about school and the conversation moved to response drills, you know, fire and earthquake drills. And of course I added in shooter drills. She made a comment on how when she was in school they didn’t do those. They didn’t do drills on what to do if a shooter came to campus. And when I asked her why not she said “That stuff just didn’t really happen, not often enough to be a concern at least. We never really had to worry about it.”..............................Wow. Just Wow.......................What does that say about what America has come to for me to be baffled by the mere mention of not having to worry about a shooter coming to school. I remember us practicing shooter drills more commonly than I do earthquake drills. I remember on the first day of school that they only gave earthquakes a brief mention. They talked about fires, then a slight, very slight, mention of earthquakes, and then we moved straight on to shooters. I remember how last year, we had a lock-in at my high school and how the middle school closest to us had a lockdown because of a shooter. I remember how we all took out our phones to check what was happening and to text our friends and family. The teacher told us to put our phones away and while we did to an extent we were still checking them. The teacher was trying to keep us calm but the problem with that was that he couldn’t calm us, because we weren’t freaking out. We acknowledged the threat, and we worried about it, and for the middle schoolers who were in lockdown. But we were just kind of numb. What has this country come to for teenagers to be numb to the possibility of being shot. There was a boy who wouldn’t put his phone away and the teacher demanded that he did. He asked if he could keep it out to keep up with the situation. Turned out his little brother was one of the students in the locked down middle school. He was worried for his little brother, but he looked so resigned. The teacher let him keep his phone out and he was texting his brother and his family. He gave us updates throughout class. I remember when everything was all said and done, when the situation was over and the crisis adverted, we were glad that nobody was hurt or killed. Then we moved on like it was normal. And that’s the thing isn’t it. It is normal. And that is disgusting. It is atrocious that students, kids and teens, have that reality. I don’t want to live like that. I don’t want to be numb and resigned to the fact that I have a plausible chance at getting shot at school. I don’t even live in a city with a lot of threats of shooters so if this our response, what about those who do have more threats of shooters. I just— this is wrong. That’s it. I just need to get this out. Please everyone who sees this, please just think about this. Even just for a second, just truly listen.
