best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say
I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days.

Five years ago, after a man deliberately drove a van down a busy Toronto sidewalk in one of Canada’s worst mass murders, the country was confronted with a previously obscure extremist movement, which experts say remains a growing threat.

I also don’t have the like, following to really DRUM up the kind of interest that would make the effort feel worth it, sadly.
Still, it might be a good idea.
