I don’t share this for sympathy or advice.
I’m an exceptional teacher with a decade of experience. I’m doing phenomenal work in my classroom and in my school. My students are thriving.
And I cannot enjoy any of it because I’m running on empty all the time.
If anyone needs a lesson tomorrow, I made this real quick on Kendrick’s halftime performance. It’s going to be my Black Fact of the Day, because Black History isn’t just the past, it’s the present as well 🤎✊🏾

Anyway. There is a glass jar in the corner of our collective house right now. Keep adding your change to it when you can. It's going to add up.

It feels impossible that something huge enough to save us will come along. It feels like there is nothing we can do to make it happen.
But. 🧵
I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

This is how you write a headline about THE Nikki Giovanni’s passing.
I am obsessed! Such amazing choices by actors and director while still remaining true to the original. So great.

So, if a 17-year-old wanders into our art section and looks at a book containing a nude photograph/painting, we could be prosecuted. #bannedbooks #bookstore #bookstores #censorship
