Hey Y'all, Asheville's premier anarchist bookstore @firestorm had a rough year, and they're trying to figure out how to navigate into next year strong.
They sell online, and I'm sure that a post holiday order would go a long way towards helping them close their '25 gap.
Firestorm was inspirational to me in building #HemlockBazaar. I wouldn't have had the confidence to build a weird leftist bookstore in the middle of Appalachian mountains without their example.
If you find yourself in #asheville please consider dropping by and exchanging some currency for some goods. They're good folks and their mission is important.
see: https://retro.social/@firestorm@kolektiva.social/115792884084650487 for info from them directly.

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.
But in some N.C. counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

ProPublica and The Assembly have been reporting on the impact of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina, and we know recovery is far from over.
If you’re in the process of rebuilding, we want to hear from you.
