My Dread Has Been High But This Post Lifts Me Higher In Different Ways. We Ride Full Force Into The Next
My dread has been high but this post lifts me higher in different ways. We ride full force into the next hour together. No matter what.
If nothing else, as a historian every time I get scared at the state of the world I have to remind myself that "uninteresting times" is a myth.
The world has always been in the throes of chaos and violence and fear, just in different ways and to different degrees. The anxieties of the past are no less real than our own, and we can learn from them. Normality and peace are fleeting, but we can always strive to increase those moments. We have to keep hoping and working for a better future. It's all we have. We may not succeed, but if we don't try, what are we living for?

"Why do you feel you are a good candidate for this postition?"
*me trying to professionally put a spin on "I just really like to eat and pay my bills and my debt off and also living under a bridge is hard and I am kinda of a 25 year old toddler "*

i'm defending public schools with my life not because I had a good experience in them but because I refuse to let politicians convince people we need a society where school is exclusive to rich kids.
let me tell you something. the public school in my (low income) hometown was fucking TERRIBLE once you got past early elementary to the point where teachers would tell parents to get their kids out (this is why I kept changing schools). however, years later, that school merged with a public school in another town and simply having more resources made it so much better it now has a normal if not positive reputation. so yeah there are in fact public schools in a terrible situation. but if you look at them and say "this is why we should get rid of public schools and replace them with private schools" you're insane.
and since this is tumblr and no one has critical thinking skills, allow me to clarify this is not an endorsement of current educational standards and regulations in public schools, or support for bullying (?)
forgive me lord for I have imagined a life far more soft and tender than the one you created for me
