Classicist, writer, that sort of stuff. Currently teaching Latin to the youth. Yes, my dog's name is Adverb.

I guess the silver lining is that 90% of the instructions in the "What to do if the business is raised by government agents (again)" section from the employee handbook at my first real job still apply to my job now, so I feel like I'm on solid ground in theory.

Praxis always varies.

Yeah we've gotten a lot of very carefully worded emails from admin. And the principal is being yelled at for them by people on opposite ends of the political spectrum, too. (I think the school is handling things very well, given legal & practical constraints! And yet.)

I'm right on Lexington but work further south. Lots of discussion between faculty at my school about what we can do to support kids & families without dragging them into something, and it's just... 90% normal, 10% horrors, every day. It remains surreal.

I have read it over & over again. I come back to it as I come back to Pablo Neruda's Canto XII From The Heights of Macchu Picchu (www.poemhunter.com/poem/canto-x...) and Eavan Boland's "That The Science of Cartography Is Limited" www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-06-19-bk-5888-story.html

--and not simply by the fact that this shading of forest cannot show the fragments of balsam, the gloom of cypresses, is what I wish to prove.
