Content Warning: mood killer, anti-LGBTQ violence
So, I'm queer and originally from Orlando, and I used to listen to WJRR, the local rock station, in the I heart Radio app (don't use it, fuck clear channel). One morning in June 2016, I shuffled outside for my first cigarette and I decided to check my phone. There's a push notification, from the I heart Radio app, about a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. And that's how I found out that there was a mass shooting at Pulse. That is probably the most jarring and horrifying push notification I'll ever receive in my life.
