There was a mass shooting in my city today. In my city of Buffalo, NY today, an 18-year old white man entered a grocery store in a predominantly Black community and opened fire. Ten people were killed; three others injured. 11 of the 13 victims were Black.
After hours of doomscrolling on Twitter & flipping between local news stations and CNN, I sat down to watch the Amerks’ playoff game. In a normal world, I would’ve been actively posting on Twitter, GIFing the game. I can’t do that today; I can’t sit here and go on with my normal life as if there wasn’t a mass shooting here earlier today.
