“She committed suicide a week prior to our thirtieth anniversary. Our oldest daughter had died of leukemia a couple years earlier. Holly took it extra hard. We drifted apart. We’d parse our words. Nothing was natural anymore: ‘Do we talk this way?’ ‘Do we laugh at this moment?’ ‘ Do we even have a right to laugh?’ But I still thought we were doing OK. Things weren’t like they used to be. But I still thought things were OK. We rented a hotel room for our thirtieth anniversary. I was supposed to meet her there after work. She overdosed on pills before I got there. I don’t know why she did it that way. She said in her note that she wasn’t angry, but I don’t know why she did it that way. I fell apart. I started drinking a lot and doing cocaine. I lost my job. One day I was giving a presentation after being up all night on drugs, and I just started hallucinating. I thought one of the clients was Holly. I stopped the presentation and started calling her name. The company was nice about it. They gave me a nice severance package. But I gave all the money to my kids. I’ve been on the streets ever since. It’s been eight years. My kids have tried to give me the money back but I won’t take it. I ride the subways at night. If it’s warm enough, I sleep on a bench. I read a little. I write a little. I go to the soup line in the morning. I’m just existing. I wasn’t a good husband. I wasn’t a good father. And now I’m doing penance.”

Things I’ve learned not to say in the hospital at the very moment of pain and tragedy:

“Everything will be okay.”

“You’re so strong!”

“Pain is what forces you to grow.”

“God has an amazing plan for your life!”

“God is using this for your good.”

“God just wanted another angel in heaven.”

“It could’ve been worse.”

“At least you’re still alive. At least—”

“Cheer up and stay positive!”

“Everything happens for a reason.”

“I understand what you’re going through.”

“Time to pray really hard and read more Bible.”

“God is using this as a wake-up call.”

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

— and other motivational poster clichés.

Things I’ve learned to say in the hospital at the very moment of pain and tragedy (and even then, not every time):

“I’m sorry.” “How are you right now?” “I don’t think it’s wrong to be mad.” (Or scared, or hurt, or sad, or weeping, or uncertain.) “How can I pray for you?” “I’m always here.” Or the best thing: listen.

Today marks the 18th time Barack Obama has to address the nation after a mass shooting. The 18th time. 

[pissyeti]

What infuriates me about the Orlando shooting is the media’s blatant removal of the word “gay” from their headlines on this tragedy. It was a GAY NIGHTCLUB. Don’t you fucking dare forget that. Don’t erase the identities of victims of the worst mass shooting in American history because you don’t think it’s pertinent to your story. This was a hate crime directed solely at the LGBTQIA community for daring to exist in the year 2016.

[dogsworth-deactivated20251218]

in case anyone was wondering, THIS is what actual erasure looks like

[shes-a-maslaniac]

this was also a hate crime that took place on Latin night at this gay bar. many latinx and black queer people were amongst the 320 attendees at this club. don’t erase this, either.
