Almost there! 🌻

So I got laid off today as a direct result of this administration withholding educational funding to states. I taught reading skills to low literate adults in Philadelphia. I loved this work and I will miss my students. I’m so worried about fresh new horrors await us

Got her paw prints. Sad I’ll never get to see those sweet little beans and peanut butter toes again. I keep expecting to see her coming down the stairs or laying on my pillow

I’ve been a cane user since 1998. My husband just started using one last year due to some back issues. We got cute new ones with my FSA. Mobility aids can be cute! There’s no shame in using a device that makes your life easier

Being human is terrible. I want to be a bird or maybe a lizard.

Did another one. Still learning and improving, but it’s nice to have a little creative hobby #embroidery #beginner

Fuck DOGE and fuck Musk

I hate it so much!

I’ve made some bad financial decisions in my life, but I’ve made some good decisions for the betterment of humanity like teaching adults who have been denied opportunities all their lives how to be better readers. Call my degree worthless all you want, but I do it for them

Funny story: when I was a kid my dad named our cat Tesla, after the band. He spoke with a Boston/central Mass accent and my mom didn’t, so this cat’s whole life we called him Tessler

Don’t speak to me or my son

Feeling stabby so I’m working on this embroidery kit I got myself for Christmas. Still a newbie so a lot of my stitches are a little sloppy

I was working on my last task of the day, which involves some data entry that needs to be accurate, when my cat decided it was time for pets and she would smack my hand if I tried to touch the keyboard

As a teacher I’m good at improvising, reading the room, responding to students in the moment. I need to get better at actually planning

I love Philly. I’m only a sports person when Philly is winning. Kendrick was brilliant. We needed this.

This has been a really hard year and it’s only February. I am so grateful for my community of friends, family and neighbors and for all my little cat children. We lost a good boy this week. RIP Todd Thee PorchCat 🌈💔

Yesterday a volunteer at my job asked me if I was expecting my first child. I decided to make him just as uncomfortable and responded, “nope, just fat” I will never understand why people think that’s an appropriate thing to say to someone you just met

My sweet baby man trash prince, Todd thee PorchCat, has been sick and his prognosis isn’t sounding good after a trip to the vet today. Trying to stay positive as we’re still waiting for lab results. I love this little guy so much 🥺

Thinking about how much quicker people are to offer up their seat on the bus in the summer when I’m wearing a dress and they can see my prosthesis

I’m obsessed with all my cats, but Tulip is such a soft little angel. She has every color in the cat rainbow, she’s very polite, she’s a pro a catching mice. The prettiest flower in the garden

For the past couple years I’ve been on a statewide committee with the word “Equity” in the title, they just took that word out of one of the courses we’re facilitating. But trust me, we’re still doing the work. I’m still committed to creating diverse, equitable and inclusive learning environments

I have a smaller raised garden bed in front of my west Philly row home and I think this year, instead of trying to fight squirrels for tomatoes, I’m going to just scatter some native wild flower seeds. It’ll be pretty and good for the bees.

This!

These are my dad’s cats. They’re brothers and they are both stunningly handsome.

So heartbroken over what’s happening in LA. My family is safe, but some of my niece’s little baby friends lost everything.

Really frustrating when I’m trying to learn a new skill and I’m not perfect at it immediately

Anxiously waiting for updates from my sister in LA. Was up all night worrying. I was just there visiting in November. They had to evacuate their home. My niece’s preschool burned down. Praying they’re safe and have a home to go back to

I just joined Story Graph. Still figuring it out and need to add my books and find people to follow! app.thestorygraph.com/profile/caro...
