mostly due to the open support of labor rights, unions, and ultimately overthrowing capitalism, but I do also talk about sex

A Singles Life

I'm so very pleased when idiots don't respond well to my grammatically correct responses. I have compassion until they start name calling because I'm not interested. I need to start saving them.

I've been teaching fourth grade this year.

For 29 weeks we were they were my 23 OGs. This week, I enveloped a student in the process of an #ODD diagnosis into our room. It has been the hardest week of my teaching career, and oh, it was also open house this week.

Spring Break started at 12:27pm yesterday and I have a lot of feels 18 hours later.

Bandwagon-ing

I grew up loving football. My last relationship shamed me for my love of the sport.

Today, I put the #NFCWildcard game on because I’m healing. Healing doesn’t always mean taking hot baths, going for walks, or reading books; sometimes healing is taking back the things you love.

Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page a day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised.

Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly all — these make for great stories.

I’d like to thank a generation of shitty relationships for the novel.

Yes. This. This TEACHER was sent home today because the BOOSTER gave me symptoms. It’s all so ridiculously waffled.
