can we please all just agree that the plan to put more firearms in school by arming teachers or other staff members as a way to increase school safety/decrease school shootings is asinine?
This is my town. A friend of mine worked at this Tops stocking shelves for years. He used to live in this neighborhood, he only recently moved. Another one of my best friends lives just two blocks from Jefferson.
Is there anything to say? I don’t know what else to say. Buffalo is the City of Good Neighbors. No matter where you are, you can find a jump for your car, someone to help you carry your groceries, an extra set of hands to shovel your driveway. We’re not perfect, but we are kind. This is such a violation.
I’ll be keeping an eye out for links and reputable sources to help the families of the victims, and to help support the Buffalo black community. I’ll post them here.
a decade ago, 20 children and 6 staff members were shot and killed in the tragic sandy hook elementary school shooting. today, a decade later, 14 children and 1 teacher had their lives taken at robb elementary school in texas. it’s been a decade, and there has been nothing done to prevent this from ever happening again. may they all rest in peace.
the south texas blood and tissue center are in critical need of blood donations following this horrific mass shooting. you can visit their website to find a donation location.
i don’t normally get political on here because, quite frankly, i like keeping this blog a stupid little space with stupid little fantasies. i even feel ridiculous saying something in between posts about a super hero…BUT
It is obscene that conservatives in this country will ban a fucking medical procedure because “they want to protect the unborn”, but will allow actual living children to be slaughtered so they can own a semi automatic rifle.
At this point, I’m not even surprised and, honestly, don’t think anything will be done about it. Things didn’t change after Sandy Hook. These fuckers will offer “thoughts and prayers” while accepting $$ from the NRA. Get fucked.
Had a good friend here in Alberta, Canada (amazing woman, had 5 kids all under 18 and recently lost her husband a few months back) that was recently killed in a car accident that was caused by a targeted shooting.
Everyone sent “thoughts and prayers.” But nothing is being done. Her kids are being fought over by so many people, like wtf.
This shit destroys lives and it’s not just the people that are killed, it’s their kids and their families and their friends and the bystanders. Enough is enough.

“I’ve got this, I’ve got this, I’ve got this. I don’t even know why I’m—OH-WHOA! That was a little sp-spooky,” Hero’s Kid singsonged to herself, briskly tearing through the underbrush, breaking past limbs that clung almost as tightly to her as her mother’s projection.

Hero’s Kid was still in shock. This entire time, she had been told, overandover,that Villain was an evil, coldhearted criminal—one who could never be trusted, one who was dangerous. But in all actuality, Hero had been killing people to keep them quiet, threatening them to cover her tracks, covering her bloodstained hands with gloves of manipulation. Each accusation against Villain was truly a confession of her own. Hero was evil.
Holding this fury at being lied to for years close to her, Hero’s Kid was well on her way to tell the truth, now at a steady jog across town.
Back in the woods, Villain and Sidekick called orders through the walkie-talkies to only defend; not attack. This wouldn’t be a bloodbath unless Hero called for one.
“Villain, I know you’re out there, you scheming bastard,” Hero yelled, pistol held upright as she approached the shed.
“Sounds like you’re afraid of me,” he called back.
“I’mnot, dumbass, I’m sick of your bullshit. Give me my daughter; that’s why we’re all here. And where is my son??”
“In the shed,” Villain replied coolly, unfazed by this fake care for Hero’s Kid.
“Come out, then,” Hero demanded.
“Nah. No thanks.”
Snap.
Hero began firing shots at the shed, and her backup followed suit, shooting rounds into the empty house like homicidal maniacs. Seeing no one evacuate, Hero held up her hand, waving them off. “Alright, alright already! Idiots! Just because I fucking fire doesn’t mean all of youshould!”
Villain laughed a hearty laugh from his hiding spot. “That was brilliant, Hero! Wasting all of your bullets on an old shed? Go on, do it again.”
“I suggest you shut the fuck up,” Hero snapped angrily, reloading her pistol.
“Again; no thanks.”
Knock, knock, knock.
“Hello? Mr. Mayor??” Hero’s Kid called out, out of breath from the remainder of her sprint.
It took a lot of convincing for the secretary to even let her in, and having The Mayor not even respond raised her heart into her throat. Hero’s Kid knocked again, tears pricking at her waterline.
This could be our one shot…
“M-Mr. Mayor? Please?”
“And just what do you think you’re doing??” Hero’s Husband demanded, approaching Hero’s Kid with a ferocity Hero’s Kid had never seen before.
She pinned herself against The Mayor’s door, eyes wide. What is he doing here??
“Please,please, Dad, I only wanted to—”
“You wanted to snitch, didn’t you? You changed sides, because you’re a little traitor. After everything we’ve done for you, too? Let’s go. We can’t keep doing this with you. I can’t believe you!” Hero’s Husband snarled.
“Dad, don’t! I was just trying t—”
“To get back at your mother? For doing the right thing?” he yelled, reaching for Hero’s Kid’s arm.
Before he could grab her wrist, The Mayor’s door swung open. “I beg your pardon? Is there a problem out here?” The Mayor asked.
“No,” Hero’s Husband replied, shooting daggers at Hero’s Kid with a gaze of warning. “Everythi—”
“Y-yes!Please, Hero’s my m-mom and I know she w-works for you but I need to talk to you, please, sir, please—she’s doing something wrong, she’s…please, do you h-have a minute, I have to talk to you, Mr. Mayor, please!” Hero’s Kid begged, tears threatening to pool over.
The Mayor looked between Hero’s Kid and Hero’s Husband, seeing the desperation in one and rage in the other. “Come inside.”
Hero’s Kid bolted for the office, and when Hero’s Husband attempted to follow, The Mayor put his arm across the doorjamb. “Not you. Wait in the hall.”
Hero’s Kid took deep breaths to calm herself down as The Mayor locked the door behind him for security.
You’ve got this, sweetie. You’ve got this.
“So you; you’re Hero’s Kid. I’ve seen you around,” The Mayor began, taking a seat behind his desk. “You said Hero’s doing something wrong? What is she doing wrong?”
Hero’s Kid sat down in front of him, tapping her foot anxiously. “I-I know it might be hard to believe, sir, since…since you don’t know her like I do. But…but she says that V-Villain is the one killing people, a-and hurting others; she even says she-she is helping other people, but…but she isn’t. Villain and Sidekick have only ever helped others, sir, I…” A tear plopped into Hero’s Kid’s lap. “Hero—she’s the one killing innocent people. I’m sure it’s hard to b-believe—”
“It isn’t,” The Mayor answered, shaking his head. “I’ve had my doubts about Hero for a long time. Always wondered why she was so quick to be loved by all, and it was always so suspicious how people who filed complaints against her quickly turned up dead, presumably by Villain. But it’s not something the town would want to believe.”
Shocked that The Mayor was on her side, Hero’s Kid stared up at him in hope. “Can’t you help them believe it, sir? …All due respect.”
The Mayor shrugged quietly. “Afraid. See, I’d be attacked, too—who knows who by? I’m not strong enough to go against someone like Hero.”
“That’s what Villain thought until Hero went after his friend.”
“What?”
“Villain actually thought he wasn’t strong enough to go after Hero—that’s why he never did—until she killed Sidekick’s and his close friend. The two of them taught trainees petty crimes as a coverup; a distraction; so they could warn whoever was on her hit list before they could be reached. Villain and Sidekick are good people, Mr. Mayor. My mom…isn’t. You’re not the only one afraid of her, but if we all stood up against her, we could actually take her down,” Hero’s Kid encouraged.
“So Villain wasn’t really committing mass murder, eh? Hm. I believe it. Villain was always my best student.”
“Huh? Student?”
The Mayor smiled at the curiosity. “Your mom and Villain trained at the academy where I was instructor; many years ago. Villain didn’t like the path Hero took. Don’t blame him. I could look into expunging his record if we really take Hero down. I just have to think of how.There’s not a goddamn way I can think of.”
The two sat in mutual silence for a few moments, both baffled not only by their shared disappointment, but their lack of ideas, until:
“Wait, Mr. Mayor… Doesn’t she have to…wear a body cam when she’s at work? Does anyone ever check that footage?”
“—about to snap, I just reallywant her to die,” Sidekick snapped, getting upset at Hero’s monolog.
“NO, don’t kill her, Sidekick, we can capture the four of them in a minute, now hold on,” Villain replied.
“Capture?? That’s not enough! She is explaining to us how she hurt Hero’s Kid!” came the whispered protest. “That’s fucked!”
“I know.”
“She’s a KID!”
Villain nodded, staring at the 20 men already taken down, not one of them from Villain’s side. “I know.”
The training methods Hero’s Kid had taught them worked. Stealth, precision, stamina. Each of them had been accounted for in this battle of wits and timing, until…
Crack.
A bullet rang out from Sidekick’s gun.
He had had enough. Enough of the endless monologuing, enough of the lies. When Hero’s right hand man went down, Villain grabbed Sidekick’s gun from him and widened his eyes when a shot and blood splatter followed. Sidekick had been hit, right in the arm, but was able to keep mostly quiet.
“I told you not to fucking shoot just because you were angry!” Villain whisper-yelled, torniquiting Sidekick’s bicep.
Seeing Hero and the remaining 3 begin to approach their long-term hiding place, Villain picked up the radio and gave the signal. “Close in the best you can; we’ve got to capture them; close in and capture carefully,” he ordered, hearing his phone buzz.
He checked it quickly.
-good news: the mayor is going 2 help us he believes us. i hope everything is going ok there you got this s**t
Villain looked up in time to see Hero get tackled by 4 members of his team, leaving a semi-conscious Sidekick and sprinting for the finals to help. He was able to send a reply within 8 minutes.
-Going fine, kid. Great work; meet you in town. Send Sidekick well wishes, he got a boo-boo.
Some of the group took Sidekick to the emergency room, and the rest transported Hero and her surviving crew to The Mayor.
They’d see if he was truly going to help them now.
I had to look this up because I was just so shocked to read this. Like a year after he published his book praising all the glory of America and guns???? Someone voted for the leopards eating faces party…
hey babes, some people have reached out to me regarding a mass shooting that took place in my city last night. i’m working on getting details and seeing how i can help my neighbors and community but i am safe.
fyi for those in Phoenix Arizona: stay away from Target because the Phoenix Police still won’t arrest this dude despite it being illegal to declare intention of violence like this
HEY GUYS/GALS/THEY’S I literally hate being the person asking people to reblog something and I scroll past posts that do, but I have been crying tonight about this, because I remember the Pulse shooting where LGBTQIA people lost their lives and the idea of another attack like that terrifies me, so please, because Phoenix has over 1 million people, just reblog? sorry.
i am heartbroken and disgusted with this country, and i can’t sleep thinking about what so many families are going through and have gone through…
please know that i am a safe place and you can always talk to me, you don’t have to suffer with processing this alone. also please remember to use your voice and vote if you are able to.
i love you all so much (and if you do reach out to me and i don’t get back i am busy this week but will get back asap)
governor greg abbott lowered the minimum age for buying assault rifles in texas to 18 just LAST YEAR. this gunman bought an assault rifle on his 18th birthday.
donald trump, ted cruz, and greg abbott are all scheduled to appear at the NRA’s annual conference in houston, texas in THREE days.
senator ted cruz has received more funding from conservative, gun rights groups and advocates than any other politician since 2012.
republicans and conservatives ALLOWED this to happen. they created the ability, the freedom, and the access for this to happen.
So@kittypopcreations, her new husband, and I survived a Walmart shooting tonight. No, this is not a joke or exaggeration. This is the actual line of events.
We all are safe and sound far away from that place, but wow, my trip to visit Kitty irl for her wedding sure has been an interesting experience I’ll never forget.
