A firearm should always be stored safely and handled with care. When possible, take steps to prevent access to your gun by people who may be at risk, and ensure ammunition is stored and locked separately from any firearms. More at atf.gov/firearms/docs/guide/…. #SafeGunStorage
ALT Stock images of guns with locks and a lockbox. Text reads: Gun locks are easy to use and cheap to buy. And they could save a life. #SafeGunStorage

My morning walks to the @YMCARochester Maplewood YMCA are a real doozy when this is my view. Is this what we want for our neighborhood and city? @RentACenter get your act together.

This is unfortunately the lack of responsibility by @RentACenter. ALL this trash ends up in the Lower Falls Park and Genesee River!! @CityRochesterNY You need to do something.

@CityRochesterNY Hey, folks! I live on a historic Frederic Law @olmstead200 blvd owned by the city. Maybe you can't get the trash, but could you at least spray the weeds? Maybe do some edging? @realmalikevans Isn't this part of your plan for ROC?

It's #RandomActsofKindnessDay! Celebrate kindness by giving back to others or helping a stranger in need. One act of kindness can change one person's day for the better.

Their professionalism and dedication to the story came through loud and clear as well as their willingness to hear some alternative views/approaches. I believe they are true partners in #SuicidePrevention and look forward to future work in this area.

Finally, I am truly impressed with @mega2e and @gabrieldance They took the time to reach out and engage in what at times was a very animated conversation. We don't agree on all the things but I can say I was impressed.

For those who are struggling with suicide to get appropriate help, be able to reach out and never feel the need to visit a prosuicide website. And I do think we need to do a much better job of understanding what is driving folks away from help and to prosuicie sources.
April Foreman retweeted
There are larger questions here about why do people struggling with suicide choose to go to these websites? Why dont they reach out to family, doctors, crisis lines? I think these are hugely important questions and i strongly believe we have a lot of work to do to make it easier
