In my former profession (Professor of History), I had a handful of colleagues who had taught in K-12. It doesn't seem to happen the other way around. I can't be the only person who acted on the I-want-to-teach-them-earlier impulse???

Thinking about all the money spent to militarize DC as the ceiling falls in our kindergarten classroom’s bathroom. (Acoustic tiles and water. No one was hurt.)

Standing in a bathroom with a teacher and 21 kindergartners during a lockdown drill is heartbreaking. My job is to keep it together for them, but I looked at their sweet small faces and it was all I could do not to sob.

I just checked out Damaris Phillips’s vegetarian cookbook from @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social. It looks great but I can also guarantee you she’s not making beet and feta burgers while wearing this white blouse!

A white woman with long blonde hair wears a white blouse with blue embroidery at the shoulders. She smiles down at a glass bowl while she pours something into the red ingredients at the bottom of the bowl.

It really is. This is such a beautiful, diverse, culturally-rich city but goons with guns hired by our government are bringing the violence every day. I recently saw them chase a Brown teenager (on foot) through traffic while women waiting for a bus quietly wept.

4 or 5 National Guardsman (they were all men) at the Navy Yard Metro at 6:00 pm as Washington Spirit fans headed home after the match. I asked why they carried weapons against a civilian population and they said it was to protect themselves.
