Reader, writer, academic. I love books and pop culture and teaching. Half-formed opinions are my own. I live in a constant state of mortification. She/her

Mine is very fast growing but very fine. Jealous of your thick hair!

What a life. What a generous soul. We should all hope to be so ebullient and so full of life.

It’s sparkly! I love it. I have the thinning aging thing, not the grey aging thing.

I feel sort of raw today and I’m leaning in instead of looking away. Healing is dumb (and good).

Just spending my evening bawling at the John Candy documentary. β€œI like me” is one of his best moments in any movie. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is a holiday staple
in our family.

Honestly I want to throw my phone into a large body of water.

These two are the best. I don’t think I could live without dogs.

We did have pets but I treat mine so much better than they did

My partner is a forester mostly because he wanted a job where he could be outside. I became an outside person after being with him, and I’m so mad at all I missed coming from an inside family.

Ah man this sounds no fun. Have they tested you for E. coli and parasites?

This is what my students say too (my class is the last they take before student teaching πŸ™ƒ). I do think there is room for theory but it always has to be connected to practice and we could all do better at that, especially early on when the courses are LOTS of theory.

(I have been very teacher braggy lately. Whoops! Apologies for my lack of inner monologue. I'm trying to recognize things I do well so my brain stops being an asshole. I think it's working?)

My favorite thing to teach (that I've not heard any of my colleagues have as concerted a focus on) is handout creation. It's SO HARD to make an aesthetically pleasing and productive handout for students. My pre-service teachers mostly nailed it this semester. πŸ₯°

It really must. I feel for her. It’s so hard when you feel helpless to protect and help your students.

I am really good at teaching, and I love making students see their own strengths.

Works every time

Let me see if I can remember where I read it. I agree. I know they talked about COVID but can’t remember the rest.
