Long time, no update. Here are the highlights: Finished 12 years in the classroom. Helped 33 students earn their high school diploma. Completed 4 sprint triathlons. Presented at 1 research conference, 1 youth wellness summit, and 1 new teacher summit. Looking forward my lucky 13th year of teaching!

I love growing #native #wildflowers because of all the visitors I get to see. These photos were all taken within 3 minutes of each other!

Four photos of wildflowers. Bees and dragonflies are sitting on the flowers.

This poem gave me goosebumps the first time I read it. #nationalpoetrymonth #poetry

Poem by Adrienne Rich in black and white text. Text reads:
What kind of times are these

There's a place between two stands of trees where the grass grows uphill
and the old revolutionary road breaks off into shadows
near a meeting-house abandoned by the persecuted
who disappeared into those shadows.

I've walked there picking mushrooms at the edge of dread, but don't be fooled
this isn't a Russian poem, this is not somewhere else but here,
our country moving closer to its own truth and dread,
its own ways of making people disappear.

I won't tell you where the place is, the dark mesh of the woods
meeting the unmarked strip of light—
ghost-ridden crossroads, leafmold paradise:
I know already who wants to buy it, sell it, make it disappear.

And I won't tell you where it is, so why do I tell you
anything? Because you still listen, because in times like these
to have you listen at all, it's necessary
to talk about trees.

Though I'm not Catholic, I always found Pope Francis' humility and grace inspiring. May his reasonable approach to grace and agape love continue well beyond his passing. #popefrancis #lovethyneighbornoexceptions

Me one year ago vs. me today. Finished my first 5k! Achieved full remission from RA&UC for the first time in 13 yrs with a JAK inhibitor. Wonder what else my body can do now that's it's healthy. #autoimmunedisease #thankyouscience #running #5k

I'd prefer if everyone would include and respect my friends, but if that's too difficult to manage at least leave them be. #transrightsarehumanrights #lovethyneighbornoexception #lgbtqia

I'm not #catholic, but this letter from #popefrancis to bishops in the #unitedstates resonated deeply with me. We must recognize the dignity of every human being without exception. Full text: www.vatican.va/content/fran... #lovethyneighbornoexceptions #quakerism #religioussocietyoffriends

This line from "Thin Skin" by Jenn Shapland shook me. I can't help but wonder how much this phenomenon is driving what's happening in my country. #booksky #unitedstates #livinghistory

Looking forward to #quaker meeting for worship this morning. Thankful for my tiny, unprogrammed meeting for the time & space to mind the Light, especially when things are so frightening and confusing. Reposted with #alttext #quakerism #religioussocietyoffriends #lovethyneighbornoexceptions

Finished this book a few days ago and it was really profound. Shapland explores US history, environmental justice, queerness, and chronic illness from and autobiographical and conversational perspective. It's beefy but worth it. #booksky #queerauthors #environmentaljustice

Lots of love to New England Yearly Meeting - I found this quote very impactful. Bayard Rustin was one of #mlk 's advisors and was the principal organizer of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs & Freedom. He was a #quaker and #queer. #blackexcellence #nonviolence #quakerism

2/3/1964 - about 461,361 students and teachers in the NY city public school system boycotted school to protest de facto (non-legislated but still present) segregation and poor conditions in the schools. De facto segregation persists in NYC schools today. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory365

February 2, 1962-Englewood, NJ-15 people were arrested after a sit-in at the school board office to protest the school board’s refusal to allow 9 Black/African American students to transfer to a majority White school town. Segregation doesn’t only occur in the southern US. #blackhistorymonth

Education - both gathering and sharing of information - is a crucial component of Kingian #nonviolence / #nonviolence365 . It's important to take care to learn as much as you can from as many different perspectives as possible. #education is the foundation of mutual understanding.

I love Mr. Rogers and grew up watching his show. Let's remember that we're adults now and it's our responsibility not to simply look for the helpers but to BECOME the helpers. #lookforthehelpers #lovethyneighbor #beahelper #mrrogers #community

The Truth of human dignity - that everyone deserves dignity, equality, equity, peace, justice, and inclusion - cannot be altered by the stroke of one person's pen. Working to uphold dignity, equality, equity, peace, justice, and inclusion is an act of faith. Thank you FGC #quakers #quakerism

#Quakerism involves the use of #queries to engage in spiritual discernment. I began worshipping with the #religioussocietyoffriends in 2020 during the #covid19 pandemic. Thankful for my Quaker faith & practice in frightening times (like the one we're living in).

Isabel Allende is one of my favorite authors. I read this book over the holidays and it was a stunning blend of historical fiction and magical realism. Timely, as it follows two refugees - a Kristallnacht survivor & an El Mozote Massacre survivor. #literature #realismomagico #immigrantswelcome
