So everyone knows, I had a kid tell me the holocaust wasn’t real and that he can’t imagine me being a history teacher because I’d just try to lie to kids. Weird time at school right now. #EduSky

Anyone else considering leaving education after this school year? It feels like a monumental task to have to teach empathy&history without being witch hunted in the McCarthy era coming up. I have a son to raise. Raising everyone else’s children because they won’t take the time to is scary. #EduSky

I’ve been crying on and off all day because I am so afraid for the rhetoric DJT put into place that my students will start to quote as facts

I just finished this one and I am staring in the distance trying to process it. Holy crap. 10/10. #BookSky

Books that stayed with me except I tell you why:

This book was the rawest form of vulnerability I have ever read. Chanel explains shame, PTSD, protectiveness, depression, etc. with such a gentle touch. Her writing is impeccable and she took back her story with a vengeance writing this. #BookSky

20 books that stayed with me except I explain why:

I went from working/student teaching in an extremely rural school district to a diverse district. But even within the diverse district, there were cliques based on cultures and homelands of my students. This book was exactly what I needed to read.

20 books that stayed with me except I explain why.

This was the first series in my adulthood that I obsessed over. I was probably 21 and picked the first book up not expecting to love the story line and fantasy of it all. #BookSky

First day back from break and the jitters have hit. What if I forgot how to teach? What if my kids forgot who I am? #EduSky

Books that stayed with me except I explain why:

When I was in 7th grade, my ELA teacher told me about a new book that I may like. I read this for the first time that year. And I’ve read it 5+ times since. I remember feeling so enamored by the “sci-fi” lifestyle. #BookSky #EduSky

Setting the intention of 60 books this year. I was going to do 52 but I read more during breaks so I’m giving myself some leeway with the amount of traveling we have this year. Let’s crack into it 📖 #BookSky

Had a baby via major surgery and survived the PPD/PPA that followed.

Finally hit my 80 book goal today after finishing these up. I cannot WAIT to read the next Red Rising book! And I’ll Be Gone for Christmas was cute and inclusive! #BookSky

If you have left education, what is your career now? This feels like a decision I’m going to have to really mull over in the next few months. #EduSky

20 books that stayed with me but I explain why:

I have reread this book easily 5 times. I tell anyone who loves a bit of fantasy, a bit of LGBT, a bit of mystery to read this. The plot twist the first time will stick with me forever. I wish I could read this for the first time again. #BookSky

Day 2:

Remember how I said my husband and baby had Covid? Well the trifecta has been completed because now ~I~ have Covid. I had to take care of my baby. The mask didn’t help and he needed me. I’m scared and sick but I would do it again if it meant he felt comfortable when he was sick. #MomSky

I am reading a book now though that my friend told me to read months ago and I put it off. I want to stay up to read it knowing I’d regret that decision. We are so back. #BookSky
December 21, 2024 at 3:10 AM
I read a book so bad that I gave it a 1 star. I never do that. My brain can’t compute it still. And the reviews for it were just as rough. Oof. #BookSky
December 21, 2024 at 3:09 AM
Husband and 4 month old son have Covid. I’m still negative so helping with a mask on and sanitizing everything. Happy holidays 🥴🥴

I have posted a couple of times about postpartum depression or anxiety but it is really kicking my butt right now. I need winter break so bad.
