AUGUST: We Used To Be Friends [And We Still Are], the All-Marshmallow Edition

Dear Kelsey, I write you in the midst of what feels like cultural and personal chaos. On Saturday I opened my Twitter newsfeed at 4pm to discover that a mass shooting had taken place in El Paso, Texas—about 9 hours from where I live (Texas is big, okay?). I'm swimming in my own anger and fear, particularly as I remember conducting focus groups on attitudes toward gun reform in McLennan County, TX, where many citizens were completely fine with more restrictive gun laws. There's no good reason they don't AT LEAST exist in the state of Texas and it makes me angry to think about.
