I’ll add— I am SO HAPPY they get to see their families. I’m stressed because we’ll come back after they’re off school for 7 weeks and take a high stakes English assessment after they’ve only spoke Spanish for those 7 weeks.

May they be here tomorrow.

Tell me where to be 💃🏽

I love my job so much, I’d keep doing it. I could make a mile long list of the ways I would be able to help families if I had more emotional and financial bandwidth.

Adding this to my list!!!

🤤

(tbh, I’d love if book links were to storygraph or small bookstores—Goodreads is something I refuse to use. I’ll make a rant on that later.)

While you are surrounded by your people, thank those whose land you are on. Pray for them and for their living ancestors.

Friends—reply with the best books/podcasts by any Indigenous person! 4/4

To the Mapuche peoples of Chile—thank you for loving the land that grew my ancestors. You planted seeds stolen by the Spanish, yet you continue to make the world beautiful. 3/4

Today, I thank The Three Nations, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi, for carrying the spirit of the land and caring for the place I call home. You tended and loved these Great Lakes for thousands of years before Europe claimed land that wasn’t for sale. 2/4

The sharp side of the double-edged sword is that sometimes when it works, it doesn’t 😂😂

Me and Pikmin 4 rn. 😅
