Why are allies so important? Because most days I don’t feel like killing myself, but some days I do. Work Update……….. The teacher I spoke of on Tuesday came by this morning. She politely asked to speak to me and began apologizing almost immediately upon entering my room. I thanked her and apologized as well. She was quite concerned and confused so I took a deep breath and explained the bigger picture, all of it, down to the lounge conversation…
(This was initially published on my FB page, but I have chosen to republish it here. This is really a two parter, with this being the first portion. Enjoy.) I said to a friend at work today that shockingly I would be willing to wear a badge stating I was vaccinated if it meant I could stop wearing a mask. This was overheard by another teacher. She disagreed and said masks should just be gone, and no vaccine should be…
The other day I received the following email: Followed you for a very long time and proud of your accomplishments, but thinking of taking you off the list of places I go often. I know you’re busy-you lead a full life for sure-and it shows. Rare new bits and pieces, and not updated to often like it once was. So,time to move on. Thanks for the ride. My response at first was that I cried. After a bit I got…

My ask is that we ALL work very hard to VOTE someone in who can at least respect ALL humans right to exist. For that is what is happening…… our leader…
I was just reading someone’s opinion on a website about MtF transgender voice therapy and something struck me, how critical are you of gender “tells?” The specific thought someone posted was in saying that while they have heard many transgender women speak they are still aware that the person was born AMAB. I am not wanting specifics on where that opinion was posted as I am not wanting to trash that person, that is not the point. What I am…
I got a letter from a student yesterday: Dear Mrs. K Denithorne (don’t know how to spell it), You are my favorite teacher because you made learning math, which I did not like, easier and teaching me to think of different ways to solve a problem not just giving up in math and other things. Something that I will miss from your class is how comfortable you made it and how you had a fun way of teaching. This letter…
