This is my first post

Consider this the first test. It doesn't count because it has not reached midnight of the new year yet. I am hoping we have found the right platform for our creative adventures. I think we have because I already feel like an old-time-y guy at a type writer writing on this platform (it was created in 1999)...this is the feeling I wish to have while we do this. Here is a picture of the artists who will be stars of the show this 2025.

Oops I missed a couple of weeks

Ok apologies to myself for this creative hiatus. But also so many things happen I wasn't expecting already this year!

Co-regulating

Really appreciating my little family lately. Instead of doom scrolling how nice it is to breathe together. Been co-regulating with my dog and had the image of us as little bunnies in a hole together (a scene I saw in Minneapolis one Spring that was the cozest thing I've maybe ever seen).

Extremly crazy making brain of a public school teacher

Random ramble: This week is more of an art with journal thought. I am Trying to take the right amount of responsibility but not too much responsibility in my teaching work.... thinking about our school measures of success which are vital to surviving capitalism (how long will that even last at this point?)... but often working on these skills with kids can end up feeling sooo production-oriented in a way that feeds this control machine inside me, our systems and everywhere that I hate. In the same ways my friends who have children are struggling to think about child rearing as there are SO many opinions about the best and most harmful things to do...it's the same with my struggle in teaching... wars of different ideologies and also little sound bytes about how to be the best educator running contrary to each other. Trying to find myself in it all and what I think how can I make my internal monologue coherent and cohesive? How can I fight the control machine and let people be thems...
