I can't process this and I can't get over it. So I'm sharing it with you, even though many of you may already have seen it.

From CNN:

A Canadian teenager, who was allegedly gang-raped and bullied, has died, her family said.

Rehtaeh Parsons, 17, was hospitalized after she tried to hang herself Thursday. The high school student from Halifax, Nova Scotia, was taken off life support Sunday.

The teen was bullied for more than a year after the alleged sexual assault in November 2011 when she was 15, her family said.

In addition to the sexual assault, a photo taken during the incident was circulated to friends via text and online, and she developed suicidal thoughts as a result, according to her family.

We all know oh so well that bullying teenagers can kill them (finding all five of those links took about 30 seconds). Here's hoping that one more story, and a story as horrifying as "teenage girl raped and then slutshamed to death for it," serves as a spur in the side of this complex network of interconnected humans, of which we are all a part, to be slightly less shitty. And as a warning sign to parents, schools, and law enforcement to take this stuff as seriously as possible.

I needed to take a brain-bath after I spent a little too much time reading about this. So if you need that, too, here you go: a bunch of pictures of a baby covered in puppies.
