Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever.

Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My daughter just started public school. It is early October and this is her fifth sick day. Her class is small and there are air filters in every classroom. I can't handle this. Please tell me it gets better? 000
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026My 4yo has a Joan Jett and the Blackhearts shirt and every night before bed she listens to I Love Rock and Roll and plays her toy electric guitar and sings along 020
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I support the trades. I also think the push towards them is about creating an easier to control, uneducated populace, and that the plan for when their bodies go out is to throw them away and keep raising the retirement age. 000
Reposted by Alyshelchiseasonally appropriate ghost of kate b. @katebitz.bsky.social · 03/10/2026when i was living in a country where skilled trades are seen more of a viable career path, i both knew a lot more ppl who had taken up a trade, AND the “can’t bend their knees after 40” piece was very noticeable once i hit my 30s. many ppl headed to college around 30 to retrain for health reasons! 311226
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think the current push towards the trades has more to do with creating a less educated populace, and the plan for when their bodies go out is to throw them away while also continuing to raise the retirement age. 001
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm currently in graduate school being retrained to be a mental health counselor after a career as a preschool teacher cut short by long covid. I'm so grateful I already had a BA- this wouldn't be possible if I needed that too. 100
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Someone is afraid to tell their boss it's a problem and a bunch of couples are fighting because of it 031
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I don't drink coffee ever, and I almost never drink tea. I will drink tea when I'm sick with a cold. So am I a 6 or an x? 110

Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It's nice to see someone else with long covid working successfully in mental healthcare. I'm in school now for counseling and I'm worried about practicum/internship. I haven't worked since 2022. So it's good to see you making this work. And goodness knows our LC patients/clients need us. 030
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I don't think they really care what the people think, they want things to go back to normal and are pissed their base wants change 000
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think most teenagers had smart phones in 2015 though- I think you'd need to go back to 2010 or so for pre smart phones, and around 2005 for pre social media. 030
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 23/09/2026People with long covid being disbelieved is common, and pushing yourself makes symptoms worse. 0222
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I always wanted to take this course when I was a student there and never got the chance! I'll have to see if I have time on top of graduate school. 030

Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I thought I was so smart buying a rainbow rag rug for the nursery. It won't show stains! It's so durable! Well, it's so busy that the easiest way to find Legos on it is with my eyes closed and feet bare 000

Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026So I, like many people, have a bias wherein I believe people I like are similar to me. This has caused all sorts of trouble as I vastly overestimate how communist people are 001
Reposted by Alyshelchi🎃 Imani Gandy Corn 🎃 @angryblacklady.blacksky.app · 19/09/2026Some of you may know that my grandfather was fired from his job as a school teacher in Philadelphia because he was a communist and wouldn't name names. So he sued the school district, it went to the Supreme Court, he lost ultimately. I just found some of his typewritten briefs. What a find! 211758215

Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I worked for a private progressive school. My daughter was rejected, no reason given but I suspect it was the autism. She's thriving in public school and has a solid team. The school has a page for diversity and equity- no inclusion because they don't do that 071
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The frozen pizza is so bad, there are many brands even my kid won't eat. Digourno is still edible but significantly more expensive. Gone are the days when you could pretty much eat any off brand pizza and maybe not enjoy it but be able to eat it at least 100
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Cocaine is a pretty good way to tell if someone has ADHD. There might be a few side effects if we give kids cocaine instead of neuropsych testing, but I'm sure the increased efficiency and enjoyment will be worth it. 6 hours of testing, or one really fun spirit day? 000
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My daughter came home from school exhausted and cranky and I just have a feeling she's getting sick again. I'm giving nozin a try for the first time. Has it helped you, #covidconscious community? It was actually pleasant to use, and the artificial scent didn't bother me, shockingly 000
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I recently rewatched The Last Unicorn to see if it was worth showing to my 4yo- happy to report it is. Unfortunately, I can't convince her to watch it 120
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My uncle is actually in San Diego- I figure if anyone knows about the toxic side of San Diego trail biking, it would be you. He's still into it I think 000
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Fun fact: I think my uncle was one of the people who tried to get rid of the roadless rule during Bush jr. He used to bike with Bush and wanted to put more roads and bike trails in places environmentalists wanted to protect. ...we are not close 100
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I'm currently volunteering to help defeat a local measure that would prevent affordable housing from being built. It's really exhausting that this shit needs doing, but this particular electoral thing seems worth defeating. 010
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Some of the best work I've done came when the 11 year old I nannied announced on a Monday morning that he'd read The Communist Manifesto over the weekend and was a communist now. He started a local communist newspaper. It's not really something I can put on a resume though lol 020
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I am familiar with progressive pedagogy, based on the work of people like John Dewey and Paolo Freire. There are people educating the children to be wild and free, with unbroken spirits. I'm not an educator anymore, but I consider the way I'm raising my daughter to be a form of activism. 120
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 12/09/2026That's a little unfair. You can vote, and also hold up a sign peacefully in a designated free speech zone with a valid permit! Stay out of the street though. 122
Alyshelchi @alyshelchi.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It's worse now. We're not gonna tell you that. But just be assured, we've found new ways to sell collect and sell your data and there are fewer ways to opt out of things now. 010
