Somerville High School students walked out of school this morning to participate in a 17-minute silent protest organized by “Students Against Gun Violence” to honor the 17 lives lost in the Parkland shooting. The students also marched to Trum field to write letters to their representatives and to register to vote. - On assignment for the Somerville Journal -

This week marks the one year anniversary of the events at Parkland. Today, @davecullenwriter’s book #PARKLAND, a deeply moving account of the extraordinary teenagers leading the #NeverAgain movement comes out. The book celebrates the passion of these astonishing students who are making history, and is an inspiring call to action for lasting change.

Words are elusive, but still I grasp at them. Like my pain, they will be neither clear nor coherent.
Dear Family,
Tears continue to leak from my eyes for Orlando. Anguish has been washed all over my face. I’m convinced that numb is a feeling, for I’ve felt it far too often. The singular queer and trans deaths we have known over the years have been like daggers, but this was an explosion and my heart weeps for you and for myself. I long for souls that I never knew personally.
This tragedy has been a great reminder. As someone who’s had the privilege to be out as queer since 14, this senseless act has reminded me of those days of fear. Days when the suffocation of silence outweighed the risk of being bold. Days when I second guessed saying who I really was. When I worried about being abandoned and alone. Before I knew that all you existed.
Read more.
Can someone tell me what’s wrong with this? #whitesupremacy #whiteprivilege ##black #blackmen #blackking #blackpower #blackqueen #blackwomen #blackpeople #problack #race #racist #racism #ebony #meme #repost #goodmorning #Kings #king #negus #MyNegus #blackinamerica #guncontrol #guns #blacklivesmatter #johncrawford #policebrutality

ORLANDO || 50 innocent people were slaughtered yesterday, by a single man. A single man who couldn’t handle the sight of two gay men kissing each other. I will simply not tolerate violence towards people who share an act of love, ever! This insanity must end, for love will prevail. No matter how much innocent blood is shed! My heart goes out to everyone affected by the tragedy in Orlando. We must all make sure this didn’t happen in vain…

While we mourn, please remember that tragedies create both physical and invisible disabilities. Those impacted by today’s events are likely to have mental health diagnoses which will complicate interactions and treatment for other, unrelated heath concerns that may arise in the future. Additionally, they will have new accessibility needs.
While you are calling to register your feelings about today’s events with your congressional representatives, please make mention of #HR620, a bill that would alter the #ADA, rolling back civil rights for disabled people, present and future. Thank you.
[#imagedescription: #hospitalglam image of me, standing between the curtain and bed in an exam room. I do not appear sick. One of the things discussed this day was the impact of #PTSD on my body.]

A letter to the youth of this country
To the youth that feel like their voices aren’t being heard,
Please don’t give up. I know that it is frustrating to be screaming at the top of your lungs and to be treated as though your words are still not loud enough to matter. I know that you are scared, that you are dying, and it still doesn’t seem to be enough to create change. I know that it is disheartening, it is life changing, it is the type of thing that hardens hearts and will shape a generation.
Please don’t let it shape you into a generation that thinks they can’t change things. Please don’t let it shape you into a generation that thinks they do not matter or that no matter what you say, how well you say it or the size of the stage in which you give your speech it will not be enough to change hearts, minds or laws. It is enough, and our time as the youth of this country will come. I beg of you to stay strong, to keep talking and organizing. I beg of you to persevere and let that be the trademark of your generation.
You are enough and you are changing minds and hearts, soon it will be enough to change laws and policies. Keep going. We believe you can do this and we support you.
All my love,
A millenial who couldn’t be prouder of this country’s teenagers in light of recent events.
If you’re so Christian, why do you not accept everyone for who they are? If you’re pro-life, why do you not protect ALL lives by wearing a mask?
