I haven’t seen my uncle in 20 years but he came over and opened my fridge to see what was inside. Family is so funny like this.

Also We Will Shoot Back by Akinyele Omowale Umoja which is about armed resistance in Mississippi. Discourse always focus on one kind of protest but I assure you, it’s a lot more complicated than the Disney version that makes some of you comfortable. It’s not supposed to be comfortable! It can’t be!

I edited one chapter today. This book is ~almost~ done.

Ashley @ashleyespinoza.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

If I edit 1.5 pages of this chapter I can be done but what if I just don’t?

Okay hear me out I write my book in past tense and present tense and then someone (not me) decides which version is better.

Sometimes a phrase will get stuck in my head and I won’t be able to remember where it originated. Lately it’s been “Good by to all that” And of course today I came across that essay by Joan Didion.

I reread some painful parts of my memoir and didn’t cry. I’ve been healing for so long. Someone once said that’s how you know you’re ready to publish, which I’m not quite ready, but closer.

Ashley @ashleyespinoza.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Sorry I actually can’t do that thing because I had a dream that is changing my perspective.

I had such a great @tinhouse.bsky.social workshop this winter! It was my second one and both times were such an honor to be around incredible writers and thinkers. I wish more of my life was surrounded by such talent and intellect and love for people. 💕

I hate when new true crime docs are the main thing Netflix is promoting. Please I don’t want to watch. Just let a girl disassociate and watch Gossip Girl.
