gun violence, self harm, suicide, politics 

This is pretty grim and I'm sorry.

With the rise of the alt-right, I've been hearing more and more that lefties, especially queer ones like me, should look into getting a gun for self-defense. And that makes sense, I get it. Except, owning a gun makes it too easy. Too easy to put an end to a really bad day, which I've been having a bunch of lately. And I'm very sure that that's how I'd die, if I owned a gun.

Sorry, again. Cat pics tomorrow, good night.
