Now, a palate cleanser for those of us who are done people-ing for the day:

We were called every name under the sun, & told to "go back where we came from". Boy do these people (60+ in attendance when normally nobody shows up, let alone volunteers for weekly supply distributions) want to be persecuted. Skyline "news" in the 1st pic, & my response via the LCC's socials 2nd:

4) We still don't have stability, & it's been 8 months today.
In the meantime, please keep allowing your voices to be heard. Buncombe County & Asheville City Schools deserve better than this. Keep fighting ✊️

3) our future. I wish more Republicans leaders could understand that. It's bad enough that our disaster relief (FEMA) aid for Helene is being taken away, when we still have local families who have lost everything - their homes swept away, their pets, gone with their homes, & no jobs to return to.

2) who will be fired if these cuts are approved. There will be no one hired to replace him, & we will lose the orchestra program completely, district-wide.
The importance of investing in public education has been proven to be good for the local economy. When we invest in kids, we are investing in

Those are gonna be so good!

Oh, I didn't realize that! I guess I just assumed that bc my stepdaughter's friend's Dad is in Steep Canyon Rangers with him, that he must live here, too! I guess it's not *that* far, though. I moved up to Leicester last year & still just say Avl, esp bc my stepkids are still in Avl City Schools!

That's a pretty banjo & a cute kid! Since moving to Asheville NC I've really learned to love its sound. Steve Martin lives here too, & he's one hell of a banjo player!

Thank you!! 💜

Oops, I completely forgot to put Blue Sky on my new phone when I upgraded last month!
Hi, I'm still alive! How is everyone doing with their own sense of impending doom? Cool cool cool, me too, me too.

You do you, Jupiter.

However, if you could *try* to aim in the direction of the White House, we’d all be very grateful.

That's ok if one if one of your cat's job is Beach.
