#WhatsHappening for July 10, 2016

A week ago the fun was in the full swing, celebrating the birthday of what Abraham Lincoln called a “nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” and in less than a week that celebration has changed to outrage and mourning. And that's fucked.
Because here's a (by no means complete) list of shit that doesn't matter:

  • Your race- because that's not an actual thing.
  • The color of your skin.
  • Who your parents are.
  • The color of your skin.
  • How much money you have.
  • The color of your skin.
  • Where you went to school, grew up, or currently live.
  • The color of your skin.

Where did things go wrong? How did we turn into a society of self-centered fuckheads?
See, there are over 7 billion of us on this little rock, spinning 1,000 miles per hour on its axis while traveling 66,660 miles per hour around our tiny little star that is moving 45,000 miles per hour around our galaxy that is traveling 483,000 miles per hour around the universe. Mind boggling numbers, right? So why are we letting a handful of assholes ruin everything for the rest of us?
Every group has its good members and their bad ones. The trick is to overpower the bad ones with the good we do, because we have to share this rock for the rest of most of our lives.

If we're the product of four billion years of evolution, it's time to get back to acting like it.
