Chelsea, this essay is so good. I hope Mills's office follows up with you; I'd love for her to shift her position, although I'm not naive about it either. (And thank you for mentioning my essay!)

Thanks, Julie. I know others tell you this too—so many of your essays are exactly what I need to hear, when I need to hear it. This one was no different. Thank you! Also, predictably, I'm losing followers on this one, so your words are resonating on that front too.

Oh, thank you! That makes me happy. The part about my essays being what you need to hear, not the part about you losing followers. Although, as I said in my essay, I lose followers every time I post. And I release the people to make their own decisions! If someone reads this essay and thinks "not for me!" I say it's better to have them quietly unfollow than to...uh...what? Argue with you that more children should be killed by guns?? I don't know. But you know what I mean.
