“You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.”

“I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave’s a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon… And that’s what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it.”

Usually I have something clever to say when a right-winger makes terrible victim-blaming statements like this, but Donald Trump has rendered me silent with astonishment. Sexual assaults in the military… are the fault of… the women who wanted to be in the military and the leaders who allowed them to do that? Because all men are just rapists waiting for an opportunity? Sexual assault is inevitable when men and women are together… so women are the ones who should have to leave? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. Remember when Fuckface von Clownstick thought he could be president? Donald Trump is the best argument against capitalism out there.

Every time I look back to this photo, I feel uncomfortable — it haunts me. It’s as if they are saying to me, we are not a number — not only cheap labor and cheap lives. We are human beings like you. Our life is precious like yours, and our dreams are precious too.

They are witnesses in this cruel history of workers being killed. The death toll is now more than 750. What a harsh situation we are in, where human beings are treated only as numbers.

This photo is haunting me all the time. If the people responsible don’t receive the highest level of punishment, we will see this type of tragedy again. There will be no relief from these horrific feelings. I’ve felt a tremendous pressure and pain over the past two weeks surrounded by dead bodies. As a witness to this cruelty, I feel the urge to share this pain with everyone. That’s why I want this photo to be seen.

WHIRLEDS AWAY  The spinning vortex of Saturn’s north polar storm resembles a deep red rose in this false-color image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. Measurements have sized the eye at a staggering 1,250 miles across with cloud speeds as fast as 330 miles per hour.  This image was taken from a distance of 261,000 miles on Nov. 27, 2012, with filters sensitive to near-infrared light.  (Photo: NASA / JPL-Caltech via NBC News)
