Dear Precious,

You belong. You belong because you are here. You belong simply because you are. You belong. I know you will forget because I still do. But maybe, because we are planting this seed now- maybe you won’t forget as much.

Me, your future self

Drawing of five nail designs with labels for each finger. Designs are holidays themed

I might be taking student voice to a new level. They asked to choose my holiday nails and I said yes.

To my educators…you got four days. You can make it.

The weaponization of this selective outrage should terrify us all. It asks that we turn off and ask our students to turn off humanity and critical thinking skills. To instead blindly support a position because of discomfort with the truth. @ruha9.bsky.social brought voice to those being silenced.

Yesterday in talking about school safety someone said

“You don’t go to a hardware store looking for milk”

I can’t stop thinking about the levels of truth and how far reaching that is for all us
