Reading about 12-year-old Daniel Pocklington and the racism he faces. I don't usually cry at work, but I couldn't hold it in when he asked "What have I done?"

I don't know why, this song came into my mind and then I burst into tears....
 

I Live therefore I Love - I Love therefore I Live
 

When the death’s just
being friendly within life,
suddenly it does remind me,
life’s only a journey
to a valley of the death.
How and when I shall get in there?
I am still on the waiting list .....
=============================

Just lost a friend of mine who died
and suffered from bone cancer.
She was happy now,
deeply long sleep in peace
free from pains.
Yet the living ones feel the loss.

Finding out my son's cancer is in remission.

Friggin everything... it was just one of those days

Realizing that my cancer is probably back

Thoughts are with you.....never give up the fight.

Patti (Reagan) Davis coming out in an op-ed for The Washington Post and featured in an subsequent New York Times article, revealing her past sexual assault, from years ago, in support for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.


I identify with women who have suffered sexual assault and harassment because I'm an survivor myself.


I really hope that this watershed moment is capitalized on in really big ways and that another predatory type individual is not placed or elected into an position of power that will affect women for generations to come.

Super proud of Ms. Davis, Dr. Ford and all the other women who have broken the sound barrier on sexual assault and harassment issues our society has ignored for far too long.

Our Military, I was gripping at my contractor today when he said something about serving in Iraq. I stopped dead in my steps and reached out my hand to shake his hand and I said Chuck thank you for your service.

Americans that chose to serve our country are near and dear to my heart. My dad served in the Navy.

Trigger Warning!
 

OMG! What fresh hell! What crazy person came up with this?
This was not triggering for me but it is the most messed up thing ever. How is this supposed to help anything or one?
I’m very curious about others opinions on this. Maybe I’m missing something here? I actually watched it a few times.
This is NOT an attack on Gemme in any way I’m honestly just baffled, not about posting it but the creation of it.
Anyone care to discuss?

I watched the video and had a knee jerk reaction of “what the fuck good will this do?” , but I also understand that most of America (most people in general), have the attention span of 3 seconds. As soon as the next shooting occurs, we rail against guns, talk about mental health, and then bury our heads in the sand until the next mass murder.

Maybe the point is shocking America out of the complacency it has pulled over itself like a warm cloak?

I am not for banning or taking away guns, but I also find it unacceptable to have our children murdered in school (or anywhere), so how do we wake people up?

I'm all for banning some guns and taking away some—couldn't happen soon enough for me.

And, I really like this commercial. It underlines what we find important (i.e., colorful school supplies) and what we choose to ignore (the gun violence our children face in school). Shame on us.

Hoping the ad agency or creative team that put this together wins some awards.
