I have never come to terms with the loss of my friends, and while I keep saying I'm fighting for THEM, I need to take time to truly mourn them. My trauma has been a driving decision for me my entire life, and advocating to save kids just like my friends just cut too damn deep.

Sometimes you just have to own it I know I won't be accepted with wide open arms. I know everyone has every right to keep me at arms length. Hell I want to keep myself there. I am trying though. I am trying to undo two years of being ...

I miss you Stephanie πŸ–€πŸ€

I am trying though. I am trying to undo two years of being diagnosed with one thing on top of another. And if I'm being honest, a lot of it has to do with the space I have lived in my entire life.

Given that I’m not on a GAG order by my employer I really feel like telling folks how toxic it is to work for one of the big five health insurance companies. They promote those who make it nothing more than a toxic CYA environment while punishing those that make them look good.

I no longer have faith in humanity at this point. Not after all the things I’ve seen and stumbled onto in the name of advocating for literacy and mental health. I sit on three superintendent advisory boards/committees & my faith in redeeming public school is not being restored.

It’s been one thing after another this year and I’ve been through this before when my son was three. My employer back then was also a POS & tortured everyone. (Have to love the IT industry) I went down to a size 0 & my gut was on STRIKE. So I’m back to that place again & it sucks bc I miss normal.

Mind and gut 100% play together.
Since my PTSD has been diagnosed all over again thanks to the redneck superintendent from Hall County, I’ve lost an obscene amount of weight. Went on FMLA to get β€œbetter” but my employer has f’d me over repeatedly for a month, which led to more weight loss.

So do we have a section for pro bono lawyers who sue Health Insurance companies for discriminating against employees with diagnosed disabilities?
What’s the #ProBonoLawyersWhoSueForDiscriminationInsideTheWorkplace hashtag?

I’m sure it has nothing to do with why United Healthcare has been sued by several states and the FEDS πŸ‘€

I definitely didn’t think that she’d ask for me to help her friend set up a school like the one my son attends. Jake’s mentor gets to deliver push in services for executive functioning skills! The outcasts from the #SOR arena are able to do great big things on our own! @jakesuss.bsky.social

I may have reminded them that β€œNO, we don’t do things differently in __” you’re legally obligated to abide by IDEA & local guidance as it pertains to evaluations for present levels when a child with an IEP enrolls to attend school in your district.

I think this means #JakeSussman & I did a good job the other day.
Mind you mom is a YALE GRADUATE who absolutely did not need anything other than us to slightly nudge the district to behave & use the words #DYSGRAPHIA & #DYSLEXIA in her son’s IEP.

I do love when I get to play with my food. They really think imma let my federal lawsuit get f’d up by messing with them.
It’s been β€œinvestigated” at the local level. The GaDOE withheld evidence and the district law firm admitted everything in writing. Chef’s kiss 😘

I low key feel like I need to switch my username up to reflect my #GaPOL #GaEDU roots.
I’ve been going by β€œDirty South” on social media far longer than I’ve been using my β€œPesky” account.
If you’re from Atlanta you know what my tattoo means.

This is however a THE MOST SLEPT ON track. He’s literally giving us 2PAC in a way that NO ONE other than #KDOT can.
While he went through absolute hell battling addiction everyone replied with β€œhe’s a hermit” and then proceeded to choose Drake over him πŸ‘€

Had folks maybe said congratulations to KDOT instead of β€œman that belongs to Wayne” after they spent four months giving KDOT virtual blowj__s for dragging Drake……

Snoop isn’t over her whining on Twitter because he got checked. He said it was the edibles πŸ˜‚

AND Paul Thomas starts out the gate with pimping himself out as a totally awesome professor who LIES to budding new teachers. HE HAS A SLIDE DEDICATED TO BALANCED LITERACY!
@embracethesor.bsky.social can we kick him off the #SOR list 😩

Who told PAUL THOMAS he was allowed to come to BlueSky! It was so nice not seeing his defense of BALANCED LITERACY, learning by OSMOSIS, #ReadingRecovery #LucyCalkins #F&P et al. Fuck! Now I want to go back to Twitter so I don’t need bleach for my eyeballs due to his stupid ass blog posts.

Not that he gives AF because πŸ‘€
I definitely lived in the district he’s from and he DEFINITELY chose to forget the folks who busted their asses during #FlipTheSixth as it pertains the abysmal fuckery known as the #GaDOE + Dekalb County Schools when he FINALLY got elected.

So the ONE senator from Georgia that is likely the ONLY guy that could beat Chris Carr as governor is where we’re gonna choose to draw the line because he’s not out here being Jewish enough?
How did I miss this over on the bird app? Was this going on under the #GaPOL hashtag?

While I agree and would have chosen her over absolutely everyone he’s chosen thus far. This round of the apprentice is scaring the shit out of me. He’s not going to pick anyone in Georgia because his truce with Kemp is over now that he won.
Unless it’s #MTG but she’s still waiting on a pardon πŸ˜‚
