Just a mom, teacher, disnerd, niner fan who’s trying to stay sane despite the constant existential dread.
So excited for teacher appreciation next week so I can spend the whole week seeing people talk online about how teachers don’t deserve to be appreciated 👍

If Trump dismantles the Dept. of Education, he will be jeopardizing public education for our most vulnerable communities.

Rural schools. Low-income areas. Special ed teachers and students with disabilities.

Our families, kids, and teachers deserve more.

Tried my best to disassociate today, lots of HGTV and Notre Dame football (Go Irish) Did a pretty good job until my 14 year old said “don’t worry mom, I can vote in the next election, we will get it right next time.” This led me to realize there may not ever be any elections for him to vote in.
