friendly reminder to drink some water, breathe some crisp air, and hug a loved one.

attended the #nokings rally in “small rural middle of fucking nowhere blink and you’ll miss it” town in which i live atm.

anyway. i was terrified.

our moving date is in six weeks.

can’t wait to get the fuck outta dodge and converse with a more educated folk who appreciate cross aisle discourse.

my exit interview with the district was yesterday afternoon. i wish i could post my personal statement without repercussions.

hey bluesky pals!
going to a spring training ball game today! what plans do you have to treat yourself today?

stay kind to you.

stay vigilant.

hey bluesky pals! what’s for dinner? we are making a focaccia pizza with a salad. bourbon vanilla ice cream for dessert.

something I wrote on substack

#witches #witch #exvangelical

there is a story inside me
clawing a way to get out
i look at my bookshelf
and i see the pages that have
made me me.

the thin veil between
dark and dawn
is the same silence between
dusk and night
which whisper of change
brings you hope?

i wrote possibly the most transparent and authentic poem i have ever penned.

i am approaching the end of this first semester puttering and spewing black smoke behind me. it’s been a semester from hell. looking forward to the upcoming sixteen day break.

thank a teacher. kindness goes a long way.

wrote a poem today about women’s rights but it’s a bit dark because that’s how i need to feel right now.

someday soon, it will be time to pick myself back up.

i applied for fmla because this year has been increasingly traumatic after a devastating start. here are my plans for the next three weeks:

bake bread
sit in a hammock
create some art
journal
see my therapist
walk in the sunshine
take a nap
visit family
read a book

#teaching

in the space between
sleep and wake
i penned a poem
within my consciousness
but when my eyes opened
the words had wandered
as did the night’s dream

#poetry

wow. finally got a code!

new here! hello! to whom may i follow?
