The core of my canon are poets that are living and writing now. One thing I love about that is even as I try to learn from their work they're probably cooking something else I'll learn from down the line

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Did a little bit of capoeira after my walking cardio today. I'd convinced myself my body just couldn't do this anymore, but it felt so natural! Really need to get my stamina and flexibility backup though LOL
