Dear Natasha Cohoon,

IF I EVER HEAR ABOUT YOUR FUCKING HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS AGAIN I WILL GO INSANE AND I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME.
Have a lovely day.

Love,
Me


In other news, Sir John A. Cares, our local philanthropists, have devised a new plan to get money for charity. The plan being: They are playing Mmm-Bop over and over again all week over the PA until they have 700$.
I shit you not.
It's actually working pretty well- people figure that the sooner they fork over some cash the sooner the fucking song goes off, so everyone's like "HERE TAKE MY WALLET."
They call this plan "Stop the Bop."
They are doing this ALL. FUCKING. WEEK.
It's two parts genius and five billion parts OH GOD MY EARS THEY BLEED.

Fifteen years ago these women were killed.
A man with a gun burst into their classroom at Polytechnique and ordered all the men in the class to get out. He then murdered fourteen women, wounded many others, and shot himself.
He did this because he hated women. He hated that they were successful and he was not. He hated that they were allowed to study a "man's profession." I've known about this since I was nine, although I haven't always know what it meant.
So I definitely wasn't expecting what I saw the other morning. There was a vigil shown on television, with accounts from people who witnessed it and went to the scene at the university. One of them, a cop, said that there were really fifteen victims there that day- the women, and the man who killed them in cold blood.
Fuck. That.
He may have ended up dead, but he pulled the trigger on himself. These women didn't. And now people remember his name better than they do the real victims- you know, the fourteen innocent people he shot and killed.
This man was not a victim in any way, shape or form- just another sick, misogynistic fucktard who got his hands on a gun.
