Thank you for writing this. Somehow your way of putting forth these essential, natural reasons to be angry and careful is such a powerful testament to how pervasive and important this problem can be. May we all be included as we want to be, and seen and valued as we want to be.

i think it’s also important to think about how many trans/gender non-conforming people have taken their own lives. Being trans (in a u.s. context that i’m aware of) comes with a higher attempted suicide rate of 30-50 percent. What does it mean to be trans and disabled? i live it every day…

...help us make our parts of the world safer for those who are still here.

This, quoted for truth. We must honour and remember the dead, but let's also make the world a better place for the living. .-= meloukhia´s last blog ..Dear Will Phillips =-.

Thank you.

I am reminded of just how important it is to remember that anger is such a healthy and rightful emotion.
It is an emotion that we have a right to feel, and certainly you have a right to feel. We could do with more anger. Especially when it matters.
