:with love and squalor

i am a pre-k teacher at a failing school in inner city baltimore. once before this i was a contemporary critical theory/phenomenology/critical race theory student at a cozy little school that taught me enough to make myself into an existential nihilist, but didn't teach me how it's possible to stay alive in the world that way. sometimes i post about that stuff.

other times i post about the mountain goats, the failure of public education in america, baltimore (we have a love/hate relationship), atheism, good politix, and the basic disappointments of the human condition.

i've started to amass a bunch of education followers which is GREAT! and welcome! but just know that this is my personal blog and some of the things i post on here are unrelated to education and may be explicit or not kid friendly in some way (personal stuff, poetry, LGBTQ stuff, critiques of capitalism and the state, etc.).

depressionparty asked This may be due to drug use, but in my head I pronounce your tumblr name as "foreign oasis."

! it’s a stupid username. i would change it but i’m worried about losing people who read my tumblr faithfully but who don’t have their own to follow the change. it’s actually two words, “for” and “noesis” or basically, “for truth.” it’s like a husserl thing… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noema
