I would have really enjoyed that huge snowstorm in the Chicago-land area. I am always in wonder and awe with the snow until I have to dig my car out of the snow LOL.

I am excited for the last month of this year - some endings, some new beginnings, some circling back, some joy, and some miracles.

Just released the post that our Filipino coffee shop will be closing on December 3rd. I'm gutted. It is one of the only Filipino small businesses in this county. But so damn proud of the community it created, the art, and the gatherings. Next two weeks we are just celebrating all of it.

My work was focused on queerness, dreaming, and imagination - literacy of the body, literacy of dreaming, etc....&& I put myself back in a system where none of that is happening. && as a result IRL, i feel trapped, exhausted, and bored.

Honestly...I do not like that my Sundays are consumed with lesson planning. I think that's my number one with the teaching profession. Intellectual planning and preparation requires mental clarity and A LOT of time - and during the week it's impossible.
