The perpetrators are not monsters, they are deeply wounded human beings and until we address the things that cause human beings to become this deeply wounded, nothing will change. It confuses me that people don’t understand that things like this are signs of a failing society. I don’t pretend to know the answer but the whole damn system needs to be dismantled. Until we have a society that values life over the accumulation of wealth…. I don’t see anything changing.

This has to Change
My cat is sick.
He’s old. This is likely the end of the road for him.
He has an appointment at the vet tomorrow and I won’t be able to be there.
I am sick on top of sick.
Mustering the energy to stand for more than thirty seconds is an impossibility.
And yet, I still have to care for myself and my child.
There is not enough of me.
This society that we’ve built,
where everyone is separate,
and no one has enough,
is not and never has been sustainable.
If the pandemic has shown one thing,
it’s that this has to change.
