The Curbside Prophet

My name is Alyssa Mae.

I am a mid-twenties avid intersectional feminist, advocate, fighter, counselor, and friend. I will be graduating from Bucknell University in May with degrees in Psychology and Women’s & Gender Studies. I work with survivors of sexual assault and other trauma, and I fix computers for a living.

I often blog about what it is like to live at the intersections of a few different mental illnesses, queerness, and sexuality, along with posts about sexism, racism, rape culture, and LGBT rights. There is a trigger warning for these on my entire blog. You will see posts about depression, eating disorders, PTSD, panic disorder, and fat activism. This has been my safe space for four years now, and I reserve the right to ask you to leave it if necessary.

Welcome to my life.

live updates from : http://blogs.kqed.org/newsfix/2012/08/06/chevron-refinery-fire-shelter-in-place-for-richmond-north-richmond-and-san-pablo-residents/

Update, 8:45 p.m.: Richmond, El Cerrito, El Cerrito del Norte and North Berkeley BART stations are closed again. ABC and KGO report that there are no tolls being collected on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

8:35 p.m.: The shelter in place order has been expanded to El Cerrito. The Kaiser facility in Richmond is also under lockdown.

Contra Costa Public Health Services says that a diesel-like combustible liquid is burning at the refinery. They advise that you should shelter in place if you can smell the smoke, even if you are not in an area with a shelter in place order.

8:30 p.m.: Oakland Police have issued a community advisory that smoke is heading toward the Oakland Hills.

OAKLAND ADVISORY NOW.
