Another day 8

I neither started the protest nor suggested it. I simply responded to the call of the people for a spokesman. -MLK, on the bus boycott
Agape is disinterested love. It is a love in which the individual seeks not his own good, but the good of his neighbor (1 Cor. 10:24). Agape does not begin by discriminating between worthy and unworthy people, or any qualities people possess. It begins by loving other for their sakes. -MLK
If you harm me, you harm yourself. -MLK

I miss the library.
I buy books now, but I have to be more choosey than I’d be if I was just borrowing them like a normal person.
Wrote about MLK’s book Stride Toward Freedom today.
Reading another easy Spanish book now that I’m done with the MLK book.
Also graded today, so some good and some bad.
Taco levels kinda low right now even tho I just had some yesterday and the day before lol.
Gonna go deal with that.
It took me two tries to get into Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Very worth it.
Took me three tries for Crime and Punishment. Also very worth it.
Sometimes when I do a to-do list I write down things that I already did so I can immediately have something to check off lol.
I have a great kid.

Sometimes I wish I was Jane Goodall.
Finished reading Un Yankee en Buenos Aires by Paco Ardit this morning and wrote about it. Based on the title and the cover, I thought the main character was gonna be kinda a scumbag lol. He’s mad nice tho.
Yesterday a woman was walking down the street and said “you’re a good mother. I see you out here. I see you on [redacted]. I see you.”
Every day is like the last.
Wake up stretch run read write chill with my son fall asleep with the tv on.
Plus work and stuff.

What you’ve got to remember is what your looking at is also you. -James Baldwin
I want the real thing… no time 4 no fake or lames… at all…
My old work hitting me up… that brother is starving…
Reading a new book this morning.
His work (at a standstill), his love life (nonexistant), his sexuality (unresolved), his future (uncertain). -Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
Me:
My son: what if you had two kids?
Why do so many middle age men not put their mask over their nose?? What is the reason?
Love reading a big ass paperback novel every once in a while.
Knowing you’re gonna be in that world for a while is nice.
Just had a sushi burrito for the first time. Was cool.
I just do what I do I don’t worry about the rest.
My son got me purple tulips with one pink tulip in the middle lol. And tomorrow he says he’s gonna get me a lot of tacos lol.
Wrote something for Fck Prison about MLK called “The First Time MLK Got Arrested.”
