Another day 33

Reading Just Mercy. Pretty frustrating. That fourteen year old who gets sent to an adult prison….. smh.
Talking to a person who also went to hair school is the fastest way to bond with someone lol. You know something about me.
One dude yesterday said my son needs to take up karate or something cuz of how he looks, like people are gonna mess with him. Then an hour later another dude said he wished he had my son’s hair, talkin bout “how I’m mad at a six year old?? Lol.
The fact that school starts tomorrow is so rude.
Best Spongebob episode is when they keep killing the health inspector. Hands down.
Cop tells Spongebob “why don’t you put that muddy shovel in the trunk and we’ll give you a ride back” lol.
Stephen Hillenburg is really the voice of a generation.

Out here making choices.

The decisions Francoise expected of him had to come from his own will; all her happiness rested to his free will, and over that she had no hold. -Simone de Beauvoir
Sigh.
Better know…
Someone passing an impromptu loyalty test… I like that…
My attitude is fuck it cuz mfs love it -2pac
Yes school started Monday and yes I just finished the summer reading book today.
Anyway I think Just Mercy is really good and interesting. It’s different reading a book knowing you’re going to teach it tho. You think about moments or moves that will be good in class as you go. Which is fine. Just different.
Dudes be tryna run me like idk nun lol ok.
Someone is talking about school—especially a kid—yea I’m listening.
Derek cheating on Meredith isn’t the kind of negativity I need right now. Smh. I forgot all about this.

Now back to She Came to Stay.
Frustrating that Francoise won’t speak up and say how unhappy she feels but I also get why she’s waiting it out and letting it be. She’s playing so proper but it’s like god tell him how you feel!! What are you doing??
Intellectual charm
There was nothing to do but sleep and wait for the morning. -Simone de Beauvoir

A dude professing his love for me… I like that… lol
“after reading the book and this story, I admire your ability to a) meet people b) talk to them c) convey their bullshit”
That’s someone talking about my first book on dating (and the post about Derek cheating a few lines up).
Got copies of Back Like I Never Left: Dating as a Single Mother at Ten Dollar Books.
I walk around the club, fuck everybody -wayne
Edibles time.
Caved and got a new laptop and it’s great.

Slept in this morning for no reason.
Started reading Nightbitch. My friend told me I should read it so I am. Love it so far.
Interesting, hilarious, beautiful, sharp.
The next morning she did what any reasonable person would do and went to the library. -Rachel Yoder p 32

Teaching went well today.
At my son’s football practice, there’s one super sweet kid who is nice all the time and then there’s a kid who is mean as hell everything he does and says is mean. And they both want to be around me at their water breaks lol.
Grey’s Anatomy time.

Been in crisis mode for the past 12 hours after accidentally reformatting my external hard drive. Got my shit back tho.
Also dodged corona at my job this week and got 60 people writing prison abolition papers. Nice.
All around nothing can get me down rn.
One important pic I didn’t wanna lose was from 2014. I was living in North Newark, growing out my blonde hair, and unknowingly about to get pregnant lol.
This is a iBeesoft stan account.
