this is our world

What the fuck are we doing to it?

Horrific racist riots in Moscow, and there was just a suicide bombing in Stockholm. The guy doing it died, but no one else, which is practically a fucking miracle considering the season and that it's Saturday night and that it happened in central Stockholm. I cannot deal. I cannot fucking deal.





This I want: I want people to think for themselves. It makes it harder to believe the easy answers.

Actually, I want two more things as well: give love, when you can. Stay alive, and give love.

As much as I want to stand on top of something with a very loud megaphone and yell until people listen, I can't see a way to make it happen. It's like Candide said: you tend your garden, meaning you make your part of life on earth a good one, you care for people, you speak up against prejudice. It's--it feels so paltry, especially today, like empty words, but if we can get enough people to not stand idly by, enough people who don't perpetuate this cycle, I think that's the best chance we have. The only chance. I love you, my darling. Hate terrifies me so much, but there are people who learn, there are.
