    “I hope your day is as pleasant as you are”

    If you get mad, it’s an admission that you’re an asshole.

      After Charlie Kirk, school shooting defender, got shot at a school I trotted out the old line:

      “May we all get to live in the world we strive for.”

      And, boy, did that make some people upset.

          I didn’t mock someone’s death. I simply said how wonderful it is when people get to live in the world they strive for. Someone who works to make the air cleaner living free from pollution. Someone who campaigns for food security never going hungry. Someone who fights tooth and nail to block any attempt to prevent children having their heads blown apart by a lunatic wielding an automatic rifle in school getting their head blown apart by a lunatic wielding an automatic rifle in a school. Someone who volunteers at a dog rescue for years getting to live on one of those dog rescue ranches. And so on.

          Clutch them pearls harder. The reactionaries have been celebrating the death of LGBT+ folks for decades, were cheering at the assassination of Minnesota law makers, and other much more reprehensible things than us saying a bad guy got what he deserved and worked for.

          Stop with the notion that a dead person is suddenly sacred, they’re not.
