Up the road from us...



Even people faraway--in India (dad) and the people who sold us their house (WA) have been calling and emailing to ask if we're ok... We are. (As much as one can be under what feels like circumstances of constant siege.)

O no, not again!


 
 I was beginning to get used to temperatures in the 40's. And I guess it wasn't just me. Both Z and I were late to our coffee date this morning because  we didn't have our coats on us at school drop off and had to go home to grab them.

And I arrived at Chapelure mad as hell mad as well, after I received some intense criticism feedback from Big A on a piece I'd written... I didn't realize until I read it again that--in my hurry--I'd skipped over the supportive and constructive parts to focus on the corrective comments. There's a message in there. Somewhere.

Cresting

Red Cedar River, East Lansing

I started on a long walk, but the music (my phone) died
and too many roads were blocked off,
so I headed back home.

Four years

...since we brought Huckleberry Abhaya D-L home.
She's still a baby puppy and still runs her sibs ragged.

#MeToo MMRP

MacCurdy House put on their production of MMRP, and I was a proud mama even though I hadn't actually done anything but sign the form for supplies and such. I love my young feminists a little more than I love all my students. The #MeToo cards are going up all around campus later this month.

When people don't call me out on my whining...

It makes me think I actually have something to be worried about :/ 

3 hrs

This foggy, rainy day isn't helping my blues: (i) I'm home with a sick Nu (ii) At is about to board a plane wearing his beautiful brown skin and his proud beard and looking like Trump's nightmare (iii) the Parkland kids are making me cry/rage (iv) At is headed for St. Louis, so Michael Brown is on my mind a bit more than usual.

a day to be proud...

1) of my WGS students who set up 25 wonderful interactive booths to discuss subjects as varied as the female gaze in films, non-binary erasu...
