This is all I have to say today. I'm sorry if some people have seen this on FB already, but it needs to be said again.
I'm heartbroken and infuriated. None of this is okay. NONE of it.
There is a very short list of reasons someone should be killed. Driving with a broken taillight isn't one of them. Neither is being a police officer. Sexuality and gender orientation isn't on there. Neither is religious preference. Political affiliation isn't on that list. And skin color most definitely isn't on that list.
My outrage isn't exclusive. I can be sad and pissed off about the fact that police officers are killed AND the fact that sometimes police officers kill people they shouldn't. I can support and be an ally for people of color AND be sad and pissed off that some people use activism as a violent tool. I can be infuriated and devastated about gun violence and want change AND still not want to take everyone's guns away.
I don't want this to continue to be the world that I live in, that my family & friends live in, that my nieces and nephews and every other child I loves live in. Be better. Everyone. BE BETTER.
@TwoDimes I unfriended my uncles and several other people a long time ago because I was absolutely done with all the racist shit they constantly spewed. I want FB to keep up with my friends marriages, babies, and awesome life events. You posting some ridiculous political meme or clickbait article isn't going to sway me one or another. It's just going to raise my blood pressure.

PSA: FitBit is on Zulily today. I don't see the Alta or any of the newer ones, but they have Charge HRs and Surges on there for about $10 cheaper than Amazon.
@500days Humidity ruins everything! But at the same time, I'm glad we're back to our normal hot, humid weather compared to the hot, dry weather we had in June. It was killing my plants! The humidity in the air helps them from getting all dried out and sad looking.
I stopped by the liquor store at lunch, and then threw the bottle of booze in my purse while I stopped by the bakery. Sorta forgot and brought the bottle in with me (AGAINST THE RULES). I'm thinking since I'm already rebelling............ I should open it?
J/k. But seriously. This day is crawling. I think alcohol would only help.

Speaking from personal experience, the answer is YES. Do it.
