Sinister: Words fail

[Rinaldo Thatchez]

It's just too fucking heavy.

The weird thing is that I'm not normalizing. I'm not recovering. The shock 
just keeps running deeper. The stunned feeling grows more pervasive. I can't 
even say I feel anything in particular, just shaken.

I didn't actually start to write to share any of this. What originally made 
me think to post was Red Geisha's post about donating blood. From what I 
hear, lines are running out the door at most blood centers. Give someone a 
call and see if they can even take you today but if you don't go today or 
this week still go. Blood supplies will be depleted for months after this. I 
don't know what else we can do.

I fear the aftermath more than anything. There will be some serious 
scapegoating. Rest assured, the U.S. is gonna bomb the shit out of somebody 
real soon and they'll call it healing. It probably won't even be the right 
people. The racist propaganda is already starting; the news is showing 
footage of Palestinians celebrating on the West Bank. How does that help?
