Last day of prep before the minions arrive. About to destroy some blood borne pathogens trainings and shit.

This administration is about to shut down the national suicide hotline for queer youth. Yep. It’s set to be shut down next month.

It’s not just that they don’t care. It’s that they would rather have queer youth not exist. It’s much more violent than just not caring.

That’s it for the 24-25 school year. I’m tired but not burned out, largely b/c I plan every day to work against the harm this president causes. I can do that in a lot of ways , but my classroom is a big one. Education matters & I’m not letting him intimidate me out of teaching my students well 🤷🏼‍♀️.

S: Miss, you got a black eye?
Me: umm? Oh no, it’s a pimple.
S: you should get a pimple patch.
Me: I’m 46 years old.
S: okay that’s pretty old.

Dress like a student day. Nailed it.

We look for moments of joy and levity in all the shittiness.

Look, the US is a embarrassing disaster that the majority of our voters …CHOSE (that’s the most embarrassing part), and I feel constantly on the edge of a panic attack, but my curls are doing their job today. I’m gonna celebrate that.

I don’t always make stick figure models of a presentation and active listening on my slides, but when I do, they are fantastic.

A work friend got me a Pedro Pascal ornament that arrived after we left for break. I say it’s a year-round decoration.

About to eat my body weight in Costco mandarin oranges because they smelled so good, but I live alone, so I don’t buy produce from Costco because most of it goes bad. These will not go bad. I. Am. Determined.

New York style cheesecake, add semi-sweet chocolate chips, minus normal topping, add chocolate ganache. 😘

Well. I killed it.
