I’m staying with my parents for the weekend and we have the Science Channel on to just kind of stare at and what’s on most commercial breaks? A commercial about reaching out to veterans who are depressed bc you might save a life, ending with “September is Suicide Prevention Month”. ---

Oh FFS, if this wasn’t tragic it might almost be comical, except totally not. The only channel you could probably escape anything like this is the Cartoon Network, and you guys are already suffering enough without having to listen to that cacophony as well. I’m holding all of you tightly in my heart…and hoping for better television programming with fewer in-your-face moments. ---
