TW: shooting

My thoughts are with the survivors, loved ones, and everyone in Monterey Park and Alhambra who have been affected by this senseless tragedy.

I heard the sirens for an hour straight last night (which isn’t unusual but never a mass event) and have had a pit in my stomach all this morning since I found out why.

Thank God for the unimaginably brave people at Lai Lai in Alhambra who wrestled the gun away.

Every shooting I’ve seen on the news has hurt and angered me so deeply and yet, despite recurring nightmares, I always told myself that I could never see it happening here. Blue state/city, sleepy town full of people who mind their business and have no interest in guns, all that dumb stuff I would cling to. I feel terrible now.

I’m just in shock. Our community shouldn’t be on the news. We shouldn’t be in this conversation, this epidemic. It’s too real. Why? I don’t get why we do this at least monthly and now I guess it’s just our turn and no one will sacrifice to stop this.

One of the finest essays I’ve ever read on a film that James L. Brooks himself describes as the story of “three people who lost their last shot at intimacy.”

'I finally realized what I found distasteful about all of these stories imagining women occupying space in public life and in the historical record: All of these characters seem to be on their way to a job interview. They are exceptionally pretty, exceptionally kind, exceptionally well dressed, exceptionally well behaved except for when they have one or two very relatable flaws. They are more empathetic and caring than the men they emulate, and they are ready for their selfies.

They also fit into what Angela McRobbie has identified as the “perfection/imperfection/resilience” story arc of feminist women's media, stories of women proving their worth by being perfect, having relatable flaws that they embrace as part of their journey of self-discovery (usually something like a crooked tooth or a reliance on a socially acceptable substance and not like a hygiene issue), and creating resilience out of their hardship but excelling in the meritocracy through their excellence.'

This is four years of what my political posts would have been compiled into one song. Imagine it getting louder every day until November 3. Remember that it is thirty one years past the point of there being no time.
