crazychicknladyI had a few things to post about, that I hadn't quite gotten around to: goats bread, kittens, and such.
Then Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Charlie Kirk was fucking assassinated.
He was 31, with a wife and 2 small children (1 year old son, 3 year old daughter).
This one hit harder than I expected. The human mind can't react to every tragedy, to every evil act, with the same intensity. We are wired for the life of a villager, not as a global citizen. We need a connection.
S used to go to one of his Anti-Socialist clubs when she first started going to the local community college. I remember navigating emails signed by him from the early days of TPU. I guess that was enough for my brain to consider a connection.
Charlie wasn't a politician, he was just a good guy who talked to kids on college campuses. Beyond the demonizing of him done by the mainstream media, the why to this was deafening.
Nick Freitas has the answer to the why.
Diesel encapsulates the rest with How Dare They.
Excuse me while I go cry some more while listening to that on loop.
