I HAVE had students mention it because they’re terrified. My program has a lot of LGBTQ+ students and there’s been fear and tears. I’ve done what I can to help them and made more than a few smile and get ready mentally.
As far as hope…I know it’s silly, but I keep thinking of Princess Leia and, by obvious extension, Carrie Fisher. The last line of ROGUE ONE is “Hope,” spoken by Leia. Growing up a huge STAR WARS fan and, in my mind, a member of the Rebel Alliance, I feel like I’ve been preparing for the modern world. One small thing I’m doing is trying to get the Rebel Alliance symbol in stickers, pins, etc., in a way to quietly show I’m safe and ready to go to the next thing.
Anyway, the REAL thing is: CONGRATS!! I can’t wait to find out what the news is.
Rage on, my friend. I'm right there with you in this fight. I DO worry that the kids weren't taking about the election because of either fear or disinterest. I know my child feels unsafe at school bc of all the Trumpheads... And I also know that many kids have just disengaged.
Can't wait to hear your good news. So happy for you 💙
Woot on the contract! Can’t wait to hear the news, and yes to shining and yes to hope and yes to matriarchal wisdom! 🥰
Thanks and yes!

It’s so hard to navigate. 💙 Love the Star Wars connection.
And thanks! 🤞
