I’d rather be a “radicalized” secular humanist than a gatekeeping “Christian” any day.

Nothing says reality check like filming a lesson on getting good sleep, with your cat having the zoomies in the background. Good example of being well rested, I guess? #zoomies #homeschoollife #education

No, Ma’am you’ve got it all wrong. I’m not a homeschooler in a Christian, Classical way. I’m a homeschooler teaching “know better, do better”, literary analysis, raising globally empathetic and culturally aware humans. Understanding all of history, no white wash. #homeschooling #teaching

Schooling without critically analysizing religions shaping our universe just repeats the cycle of surface level understanding, cultural appropriation, and continuous control through limited knowledge. #isaidwhatisaid #secularhomeschooling #history #analysis #criticalthinking

Autistic folk and their support needs need SUPPORT, actual functioning support. It isn’t a disease therefore can’t be “cured” but support catered to the persons needs, resources for those who are stuck in the trenches, and understanding of what Autism is (beyond hate/pointing rhetoric) would help.

You can eat all organic food, drink green juice every day, do yoga, get vitamin D and touch grass… and still become disabled. Wellness culture can’t save you from disability. What’s worse, most wellness “gurus” will blame you when you become ill. Wellness culture is toxic & eugenics adjacent.

Autism and other neuro types are genetic. There ya go, solved the “research” problem, now get on with adequate supports and affordable diagnosis for adults who have been misdiagnosed, children who are awaiting services for months/years, and TRAINED folks able to provide care.

What do secular and inclusive really mean when it comes to homeschool curriculum? Spoiler: it's more than just "no Bible verses" or adding a token diverse book. #SecularHomeschool #InclusiveEducation #NeurodivergentLearners #LGBTQFamilies #RabbitHoleLearning #ProgressiveHomeschool

A snippet of the next lesson I’m creating! Part of my series on Emotional understanding, in my SEL curriculum.
A snippet of a lesson designed, with the title “Bonus Lesson: Taking an Emotional Inventory”. Author continued to describe how to take an emotional inventory, using humor and terms from video games to help keep learners engaged

ALL homeschoolers should care about using diverse literature literature. #secularhomeschooling #diversebooks #kidlit

Why Diverse Literature Matters in Homeschooling
When we as parents choose books for our homeschool, we’re directly shaping the way our children see the world. Literature is one of the most powerful tools for learning. It's not just about reading and writing, but about people, cultures, and identities. Diverse literature is essential in homeschooling because it provides representation, broadens perspectives, challenges stereotypes, and fosters critical thinking. Here’s why it should be a cornerstone of every homeschool library.

Do you want a free guide to Kindergarten ELA? I've got you!

Introducing My Free 36-Week Kindergarten ELA Guide (Based on Fishtank Learning!)
If you've ever tried using a high-quality classroom curriculum for homeschooling, you know it can be a lot to adapt. Fishtank Learning is an amazing, free resource designed for classroom teachers, but it isn't always homeschool-friendly. That’s why I created a 36-week Kindergarten ELA guide—to make it easier for homeschoolers to follow while keeping the rich, structured approach that Fishtank offers.

If someone tells you their name and pronouns, the decent thing to do is respect that. Misgendering isn’t an opinion — it’s just being an asshole. You don’t have to understand, but basic respect isn’t optional

a weird thing about being neurodivergent is when a bad thing happens, my brain hyper-focuses on learning as much as I can about it and I usually quickly discover how many other people have desperately searched online for answers

The Levels of Secular Homeschool Material: How Far We’ve Come
The Levels of Secular Homeschool Material: How Far We’ve Come When I started homeschooling 14(ish) years ago, finding truly secular materials was infinitely more difficult. So much of the resources homeschoolers had easy access to were overtly religious. What we now consider truly secular curriculum were rare to non-existant. Homeschool families who wanted a secular education often had to modify existing curricula, pull from multiple sources, or create their own materials from scratch.
