Pros and cons of Tuesday night salsa class

Pro - I moved my body and forgot about the state of the world for a while

Con - it ended at 10pm and now I'm wired but still need to get up at 6am

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Found this picture 5 years ago while we were looking through photos for my dad's funeral.

Sometimes enough students say enough mildly ungrateful things in one day that it makes you want to be a shitty teacher out of spite

I cried about at least 4 different things in one conversation today.

I felt a bit embarassed in the moment but better afterwards.

Crying is a normal thing to do

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

The winter months are heavy with loss for me so I think I'll be making my grief more of a priority in this space.

It's been more than 14 years since my surrogate father died of lung cancer.

Heres 2 of the only photos I have with him

I wonder about what he would think of adult me

Hate that my work life was actively falling apart when we had reason to hope for a few days

I find hope in young people and in organizing. If you dont have a connection to one or both yet, I suggest finding one.

1 decent election night does not fix this bullshit

Its not fun when you ask for support at work and the request is denied or ignored

I should be having a great week because of Tuesdays rebuke of this administration. I cried on my way home instead

Baltimore County paid $2.4 million for an AI weapons detection system with no oversight

Response to a false alarm terrorized a Black student who did nothing wrong

Thanks for the great op-ed @baltimorebeat.bsky.social

Went to Indivisible Baltimore County's rally against County Exec Kathy Klausmeier's MOU with the ICE/DHS

There were many good speakers, but as a former Catholic, this struck me

Most Americans are uneducated about Latin America (by design) and I have some movie recommendations about Latin American authoritarian governments

2. The Official Story (1985)
3. The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo (1985)

I would like to spend the rest of the evening thinking and strategizing around things I learned BUT I have a paper to write 🫠

Argentina's version of Trump won a midterm election yesterday

Trump just promised the country $40 billion if he won

Coincidence?

Novavax vaccines are available at CVS! (in the Baltimore area at least)

I got my flu shot too and got a $10 off of $20 purchase coupon (and rewarded myself with silly snacks)
