Some folks are apparently trying to use BlueSky as a “dating” site and I’m NOT INTERESTED … not looking for hookups, dates, etc. If you want to get to know me, read and respond to my posts, a real conversation. No DMs unless I know you personally. Profiles with no real content = no follow back.

Still Within Reach

Remember, you can still speak
to your departed loved ones.
Love does not loosen its grip,
even when your whole world
has changed shape.

Confide in them,
in the hush between breaths,
in the tremble of your longing,
in the moments when challenges
feel too heavy to carry alone.

65 years ago today, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges walked through a wall of hate to integrate the all-white William Frantz Elementary in New Orleans—becoming the first Black child to do so in the South.

Surrounded by U.S. Marshals, she carried the weight of a nation on her small shoulders.

A long but necessary read as this regime gears up to provoke an unnecessary war with Venezuela.

This is how it always starts.”
