Delightfully quirky human fueled on books, crochet, and an ever-growingist of hobbies. I attempt to teach teenage humans to be smart, curious, and kind— one caffeinated day at a time.
So it's 2025, and the world is on fire, but I put in an offer on a house as a first-time buyer yesterday. I got the dream job on the coast. The dissonance between "hey you're financially secure enough to be a homeowner" and "hey civilization collapse is happening realtime" is an absolute mind fuck.

Congress? You awake?
Adventures in FB Marketplace after too many messages haggling:
What I said: I'm firm on 250.
What I wanted to say: My dude, if $25 is going to make or break your day, perhaps you shouldn't be spending $225 on an inflatable hot tub on Facebook.

Me every damn Saturday: Time to feed Edgar Allan Dough and maybe make some sourdough discard pancakes. Let's keep it simple.
Me later that same Saturday: I've got two loaves bulk proofing (cheddar pickle this week), discard granola in the oven, and crackers prepped to go in next.

A lot of stress means a lot of journaling time. Need some mindless relaxation that feels productive? Draw circles. For hours. No thoughts, just circle vibes. 😂 #artjournal #junkjournal

Autistic people aren’t broken. They’re not tragedies. They don’t need to be pitied, feared, or fixed. They deserve understanding, respect, and support.

Me on a Saturday as a teacher in April: door dashing my hair color from Sallys so I can keep making banana bread and avoid putting on real clothes. Maximum efficiency or maximum ridiculousness?

Update: I have ordered a giant bag of tiny glow in the dark dinos to retaliate the joy.
I don't remember my ed courses in college covering what to do when one's classroom suddenly has an ever-growing army of plastic babies. #teacherlife

I just want to share the last quote I gave in this article widely. It sums up my feelings pretty nicely.
“It is sad that those species are gone, but we have a beautiful natural world here and now that is in desperate need of action.” 🧪

Did we really bring back the long-extinct dire wolves made popular in HBO’s Game of Thrones? Not exactly, says Ontario expert
Experts, including Canadian evolutionary biologist Ashley Reynolds, believes these pups produced by Colossal Biosciences cannot be called a “true” dire wolves.

Teaching the French Revolution at this point in time is real, real weird. I'm wearing my guillotine earrings to talk about the Terror today, and it felt surreal when a student said they saw one of those things on a protest sign. #teachingin2025 #historyteacher #thesigns

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I've just finished the book Everything is Tuberculosis. Hauntingly beautiful book. This book connects disease to colonialism, fashion, genetics, race, and the horrorific decay into illness. Stunning look at how disease ripples through big and small places of history.
