Hello there. I am Ashley, a licensed professional counselor. Pittsburgh Steelers fan 💛

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

I always credit this book for starting me on my book journey. Baldwin took me down so many rabbit holes, I realized I wasn't smart enough yet to really grasp what he was saying. Baldwin was born 102 years ago today, and I owe his layered writing basically everything. Happy birthday James Baldwin

A Library of America book of collected essays by James Baldwin including:

Notes of a Native Son
Nobody Knows My Name
The Fire Next Time
No Name in the Street
and The Devil Find Work

August 2nd. New month. #HelpFolksLive2026 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

August. Months change. Survival needs don't (food/water/shelter/meds). Indigenous, Black, POC, 2SLGBTQNBIA, Disabled folks & small business folks who need some help to make it, drop your cash links, GFMs, your Ko-fis & Patreons & etsy shops here. #HelpFolksLive2026

Thank you. They've had nothing come in. There's not much time to get housing covered, to prevent shelter loss, and they still then need for urgent bills, as well essentials and food. Every little bit adds up! bsky.app/profile/toad...
