I appreciate @bwd.bsky.social for engaging thoughtfully with the complexities of domestic violence. Every time we focus on a Survivor’s reaction to abuse, others watching take note and stay silent. Trauma is messy. That doesn’t make abuse less real.

🧵 On 6 December 1989 a man entered a mechanical engineering classroom at Montreal’s École Polytechnique with a semi automatic weapon. Separating women and men, he shot the women, screaming, “You are all feminists” 14 women were murdered. Today we remember their names and not his.

I've spent tens of thousands of words trying to come to grips with the massacre at the #Poly, the longest evening of my life. I was there, it was cold, it was gut-wrenching. But the core of it remains: one pathetic little man with a gun can do more damage than the rest of us can ever undo.

Every year @amykmtl.bsky.social posts about the 14 victims of the Polytechnique massacre. I find it important to not just remember the names, but that they were people with hopes and dreams and a big wide future in front of them. May we never forget what happened.

Geneviève Bergeron was smart enough to earn a scholarship and also talented enough that she was still vacillating between a career in engineering or in music. Bergeron played clarinet and sang in the choir at the MSO. Geneviève was sweet, generous and bubbling with life.

This isn’t a dig at Jennifer Lawrence, but the way she’s been talking about herself on her current press tour makes me sad. She basically expresses that having a personality as a young woman in the public eye made her too much, and she doesn’t want to repeat those same mistakes. It’s a little eerie.
