Today is the anniversary of my beloved @TribbleJon passing from this life. It's been five years, and I haven't moved on. Grief is Grief. I've learned how to carry memories while getting on with life. Jon wanted the best for me. And that best is living now as best as I can.

Today would have been James Baldwin's 100th birthday. Here are pictures of him with everybody who has ever existed because this Black gay Leo is one of the most photographed writers of our time. 🎞️📸
