: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.).

I just want to say an enormous THANK YOU

to everyone who reblogged or liked my last post and especially to the people who contributed money to my donorschoose project! With an incredible and somewhat unexpected amount of support, I was able to fund my project in just two days and I’m honestly in shock!!! I am so gratified and touched that so many people spread the message about my project and contributed to it that I can barely even express myself. It just makes me feel really good about my job and that people truly care about what I’m trying to do with my kiddos.

I am SO excited to get my new resources and see how much new batch of kids will love them. Thank you all so much for your support.

thanks donors choose donorschoose charity education teaching <3
