Ohhh?!🥰

Me got some Baby Mail :O awww 🥰 sooo cute new onesies for me 🥰😇

I’ve never had a ruffle butt onesie before and omg I looooved it!!! It was so fun and frilly and the bum ruffles were super fun to brush and fluff with my hands! We didn’t have any dips that matched so we just went with a tiny tails from ABU. (Dada suggested a plain white one but I said no cuz white ones are not fancy enough for me hehe)

We made dinner and watched some South Park (guess which episode lol). After dinner, he got me all changed and we played some video games. I got to do some fnaf songs (eeeee!) on beat saber and watch Dada do the super omega hard mode on them hehehe. Then we tried to wind down to get ready for bed. In the morning, I was suuuper duper tiny and Dada just tickled me and let me play with his hair before he helped me change into some big girl clothes.

I love my Dada soooo much. He’s the best cg I could have ever asked for. <3

The Rooster went to campus early for study group before the midterm.

At 10:49 I got the text we all dread. My kid had left the adjacent building just minutes before. There’s image of a someone involved on the sidewalk where foot traffic is channeled around construction. Had it been a few minutes later?

“How is it considered an act of terrorism?” - Local reporter

“The shooter shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before shooting” - The FBI

TLDR:

Professor/ROTC instructor dead, another two injured, but stable, shooter dead (killed by students)

This morning, gunfire shattered the routine of an ordinary day at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Around 10:49 a.m., a gunman opened fire inside Constant Hall, the building that houses the university’s College of Business. The incident resulted in two deaths, including the assailant. Of the surviving victims, one is in critical condition and another is being treated after driving themselves to the hospital.

The campus was locked down (as well as Hampton Blvd near the school) as police rushed to secure the scene. Classes and operations were canceled for the rest of the day while investigators and emergency responders worked through the aftermath.

For the students who were there, the experience cannot be summarized by a press release. Witnesses described hearing gunshots and screams, followed by alarms and people running for safety.

And now, as the shock settles in, the familiar script begins.

Leaders release statements. Communities gather online. And the phrase we all know too well appears again:

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims.”

The real question after today’s tragedy is not whether people will offer condolences.

They will.

The real question is whether the country is willing to face the uncomfortable realities behind the headlines:

☑️ the normalization of gun violence

☑️ the collapse of mental health support systems

☑️ the cultural numbness that allows tragedy to become routine

Until those conversations happen honestly, shootings will remain moments of shock followed by predictable silence.

Today, people will pray. People will mourn. People will send love to those affected.

But sympathy alone cannot solve a national crisis.

At some point, the United States must decide whether these tragedies are simply unfortunate events or warnings that something deeper in the country is profoundly broken.

Because if all we have left to offer is thoughts and prayers, then we are not responding to the problem.

We are simply surviving it until the next headline appears.
