In a desperate bid for escapism I finally started reading Ocean's Echo by @everinamaxwell.bsky.social and goddamnit this bitch has done it again. Tennal is my stupid idiot son and I would die for him. How does someone write such perfect characters with such incredible consistency? SHOW ME YOUR WAYS!

I’m back in Tampa for the first time since I moved there years ago and as someone who grew up in Florida there is something inexplicably comforting about Florida suburbs. Yes, they are ugly and maybe a little dystopian. But I love them.

Do you ever look at a sparrow and think, "that bird is really wasting her potential?" No. That thought would clang against the simple dignity we sense in nature, the dignity of a living thing inhabiting a life. You are that sparrow. You are the branch she rests upon. You embody that same dignity.

Hear me out— books that cover complex topics for kids at a lower reading level. I have a lot of kids who are hungry for books with content geared towards middle grade readers but don’t have the reading level to support reading at their grade level. Also, MORE GRAPHIC NOVELS!!!!

Positive example of "boys will be boys:" the gaggle of teenage boys behind me at the Minecraft movie tonight hooting and hollering every time something exciting happened. They stood up and clapped every time a new character appeared. They were having the time of their lives and I love that for them.

My six year old picked up Dungeon Club Roll Call by @mollyostertag.bsky.social this week at the bookstore and he is now OBSESSED with the idea of playing D&D. He even made his character already—a half-dragon, half-human named "Leoe" (Leo) who is on a quest to find out what happened to his parents.

Getting involved in local mutual aid is the most rewarding thing ever I swear. No red tape, no non-profit bureaucracy, just folks pooling their extra cash to make sandwiches and go feed people who need food. No lofty end goal, no focus on "vison" or "mission." Just: "you're hungry? come and eat."

feeling homesick again. there are so many things i miss about the rural south. i miss stepping outside of my house and seeing nobody but the pines. i miss deer in my yard. i miss the sun and especially the storms. i got a white noise machine to whisper rain sounds at night, and it's not the same

Made the choice to be fully out at my job, which is scary given EVERYTHING right now, but one of my queer students found out I had a a son said “Oh, I thought you were like me.” Fuck it. I AM like you. Gay people can have kids and families and wonderful fucking lives and I will not pretend otherwise

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

Protest belongs to the people. Seeing members of the gov “protesting” by wearing pink or holding little signs is so frustrating because they are quite literally the only people who can DO SOMETHING about all of this. When we protest, it’s so you will hear us. When you “protest,” you just look stupid

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

Teaching middle school is so weird. Today I told the kids the rules for the ficiton free write assignment were "no sex, no drugs, no violence" and one kid in the front row just went "aww" and started violently backspacing. another kid wrote fanfic about me marrying the chorus teacher.
