    Imagine defying the universal odds and getting to be sentient for a blip of existence in a vast, ancient universe and you end up being this fucking loser.

    My local gay bar posted on Facebook about a massive increase in harassment, as well as a physical assault on a patron.

    Stochastic terrorism.

    A trans woman was attacked in Washington last week. People on Facebook are mask off, saying it was deserved.

    Is this going to explode into an orgy of violence and then finally die down? Will something bad enough happy than people will be shamed back into calling evil, evil?

    There were two separate shootings at homeless camps last week. I barely saw coverage of it.

    I feel so much pressure and fear that I can’t think. I don’t understand why people are filled with so much hate. It can’t feel good, can it?

      We have our Pride in October because of the summer heat, the board of my organization isn’t worried about booth setup or swag or elevator speeches. They primarily want a map showing every possible exit scenario depending on where a shooter might begin. We are going forward with the expectation that Prides will be more violent. And that breaks my heart.
