The world at large is a roiling mass of chaos but in the tiny world of me I have finally stopped coughing after four years and so I wrote about it

Made a rookie error today after 20 years of teaching:
I asked a kindergarten class to come up with rhymes for “six”.

Today, I, a person who has worked hard to overcome a lifetime of medical avoidance and phobia, sat very still with no anxiety meds on board and let a really nice SLP put a camera down my nose

Taking a tiny action is more than inertia. Today I told the Stonewall NPS website NO when it asked me if its pages, freshly scrubbed of any mention of transgender people, were helpful. #resist

I love to exercise and move my body but lately I’ve been mired in the pursuit of perfect at the expense of something that’s good enough. Well, no more! (Maybe). courtneynaliboff.substack.com/p/i-will-not...
I will not let perfect be the enemy of good
Probably. At least when it comes to exercise.

So excited that Business Insider has my story about independent island kids up today!!

I live on an island in Maine where kids still get to be kids. They play unsupervised, and the community looks after them.
I moved to North Haven, Maine, 20 years ago to be a teacher. Kids here get to play outside alone, not only because it's safe, but because they need it.
