I guess we do introductions here?
I am a high school English teacher in nyc. I have been teaching in The Bronx (yerrrrrrr) for 13 years.
I am a mama and grandma by love.
I am trying the best I can to stay joyful, purposeful, and reading in and out of the classroom.

I am so sorry for coming on here to complain about it, but after a half hour of struggling to get stranger things to play... we have video and no sound. @netflix.com is a joke

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

Important background info- I am at my mom's house with the child for Thanksgiving break
I went to put blueberry jam on my toast this morning. Had a little sample while I waited for the toaster- it's HOT 🔥 🥵
I look at the label- it has peppers in it. Why on Earth?!?

Like the reusable water bottle trends are grinding me down. Isn't the point to own just one... and reuse it? But if somebody want to invent a silent one that doesn't sound like we need to duck and cover every time it gets knocked over...

I love covering classes. As a senior teacher, I love meeting my future students. They may feel... less enthused about meeting me, but at least they get a preview of what they're getting.

My dog just made me take her outside so she could get a stick to bring inside to play with. She is currently playing with it right next to a basket of about 30 toys she never touches.
