Greetings Webtaculators! Happy Father’s Day to all of you dads out there. Try to enjoy the summer solstice while your celebrating as well. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Remember Those Lost
Why: Because I’m still trying to figure out how we live in a reality where pure hatred drives peoples’ actions. This cannot stand. And neither can the Confederate battle flag. The amount of times I have seen this flag flown proudly in my life sickens me, and I can only imagine how this banner of hatred and anti-Americanism makes the people who it directly antagonizes feel. The widespread acceptance of the flag has a direct relation to the way in which the U.S. treats its black citizens, and it needs to go. My thoughts are with Charleston, and with our brothers and sisters that we lost to actions taken in fulfillment of what this symbol represents. ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬. More recommended readings.

What: Grey Is A Piece Of Shit (Please Don’t Buy Any More Fifty Shades Books)
