I haven’t been posting lately because I’ve been too busy rereading my entire tumblr (yes, all 100+ pages of it) in some effort to find direction for my life. I think I thought if I went back far enough, the way I feel now might start to make sense to me. So here’s what I’ve come to understand:
“Ms. A, you got some Old Bay in you. You just been tryna sour it with all that lemon juice.”

On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped explosives containing C-4 on the roof of a house where members of the black liberation & social justice organization MOVE lived. Right before, police attacked the house with 10,000 rounds of ammunition in 90 minutes, knowing that children were inside. The house burned for 45 minutes before hoses were turned on.
Eleven people, including founder John Africa, five adults & five children were killed. The incident also destroyed 65 homes in the area, leaving 250 homeless. Witnesses reported police officers shooting at those trying to escape from the fire that ensued.
MOVE continues to advocate for prisoners’ rights & for the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal & nine MOVE members who were found guilty of the murder of a police officer in 1978.
Highly recommend The MOVE Crisis in Philadelphia: Extremist Groups and Conflict Resolution by Hizkias Assefa for anyone interested in learning more about this.
FYI: The President has proposed $75B to fund high quality early education.
It’s weird to feel important sometimes
In perhaps the only display of appreciation/approval she’s ever given me, my assistant principal put her son in my class for the day.
Did I win the teacher lottery, or lose it?

Teacher Appreciation Day
I don’t feel very appreciated, how about yourself?
My entire school smells really bad (basically like urine) which is something I’m used to but someone got one of those gel air fresheners and I just walked by it and it was the same kind I used to put in my room when I was in college and the smell literally washed over me and depressed the hell out of me. I actually can’t believe it’s been two years since I graduated. That’s half the time I was ever even in college…
