𧔠My oncology colleagues know how often I say: #WordsMatter. So Iâm thinking about words we use to talk about #RobbElementary & every other incident of #GunViolence in đșđž. Part of why people can scroll past these things, why they may not even register as news to us... /1
Is that somewhere along the way, we had words like âschool shooterâ & âgunmanâ drilled into our consciousness as the usual terms. These things oddly sound more like jobsââschool shooterâ sounds like school principal or school secretary & âgunmanâ like fireman or repairman⊠/2
And hear me out on this because the same sentence lands very differently if you substitute, for example, mass murderer or elem school killer. Try it. Grab any article. Listen to any news story. Swap all the words. #Uvalde school shooting m becomes #RobbElemementaryMassacre. /3
