Little man claimed my handmade blanket days after I made it. It's now his favorite thing.

Let this be your morning boost: he's still going strong 💪

My family and I were multiple of those visits, but for my sister and I, it was our first visit to Sequoia. Her best friend passed suddenly and we all had to hop on a plane to California for his funeral. We didn't get a lot of time to plan, but we did get to find solace in nature's beauty ❤️

I LOVE this for you! The first protest feels scary but so worth it. As a fellow autistic woman who has some protest experience, my advice:
-If you are sensitive to sound, bring earplugs/hearing protection
-pack snacks/water
-wear *comfortable* clothes
-try to meet at least one new person each time

I draw my inspiration from the students that I interact with subbing, and from those around me that are fighting back. The kids who are aware are scared. They need us to fight. But in the days in between, I feel the machine of fascism wearing me down. Often this feels like a shout into the void.

..had the "same thing" when they started out teaching/moved to different states. My family is conservative. They chose this administration knowing it would endanger me and my career. The combination of outrage and betrayal has become sickening in the last few days. I am exhausted...
