The second gun control school walkout is happening today.
I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t really heard much about it… but it might be because I don’t particularly care.
Anyway, Emma Gonzales (Hogg’s bald chick counterpart) wore a prison jumpsuit. I don’t get it. I’m sure there’s some super deep reasoning or something.
I walked out so far I ended up in NY !❤ Remembering Columbine today in our moments of silence, in servicing our communities, and in loving each other. Orange is the color for gun violence survivors, and we wear it today in solidarity of one another. pic.twitter.com/9SFSACvMlb

Yup. Still don’t get it.
Teen Vogue (The same Teen Vogue instructing your teen daughters on how to have anal sex) is all about it, though. So that’s really all that matters.
On Friday, April 20th, which was both the anniversary of the Columbine School Shooting and the day of the second National School Walkout of the year, anti-gun violence movement leader Emma González wore an orange jumpsuit.
On Twitter, she posted two side-by-side photos of herself, one showing the front of the jumpsuit and one showing the back with “MSD” written across it. The letters stand for her high school Marjory Stoneman Douglas, where a shooter killed 17 students on February 14th. Alongside the images she wrote, “Orange is the color for gun violence survivors, and we wear it today in solidarity of one another.” The organization #WearOrange was started by the family of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton who was shot and killed in Chicago. The color was chosen because it’s what hunters wear to be seen.
Emma also explained why she chose to wear a jumpsuit over another orange item. “This prisoner jumpsuit was my Halloween costume 2 years ago (OITNB),” she explained. “But I wore it today because our schools are looking more like prisons and bomb shelters and less like the learning institutes our parents had the privilege of enjoying.”
Good thing she was able to recycle her Halloween costume.
But OOOH. It’s ALSO because schools are prisons!

Only Emma’s not even AT school. She’s at some publicity tour in NYC. Don’t prisons make you stay?
Great. Lovely. Very good. (That’s all I’m allowed to say about this, or Hogg will sic his minions on me.)
