these things happen. they've been happening for a while now. bit of a problem.
when faced with a epidemic, as such
we must not watch or buy or click any of the media hype
we're bombarded, all completely disgusting
this isn't our pain we're watching, we can't lessen it
we're watching our fears, attaching each tragedy to our own lives in our minds
hoping the disparity in trial goes unnoticed by karma
by chaos, it is maddening being so constantly scared
and we are angry for being so fucking scared
for being unable to let go, unable to look away.
this anger we must place with the media first and foremost.
we have to reign this monster in.
taking a xmas break, post lined up for new year's eve.
till then, take a moment to watch and share this video.
A psychiatrists (and Charlie Brooker's) insightful perspective on news coverage's perpetuation of mass shootings in schools.
Very strange to watch how feeling is staged through the reporting of these events.

news is fact, not manipulation of emotion. we're so used to being toyed with we hardly notice.
