guns, shootings
So on Tuesday this week I was helping a friend check out a car and heard 8 gunshots in rapid succession nearby, then heard a bullet whiz over my head.
I called it in, and @Aradia@mastodon.social linked me this article: https://myeverettnews.com/2017/06/27/shots-exchanged-in-south-everett/
I realized just now that didn't phase me at all, because I used to live in a nasty neighborhood and have since normalized gun fights? Like, I just accept they're a thing that happen around me.

That's probably not normal for a person living in a 1st world country, but it's what I've come to call normal.
I don't know how that makes me feel.
