My DnD group has paused our campaign to spend the summer reading/viewing racial justice related texts and discussing them, which has been awesome. Tonight we discussed the documentary I Am Not Your Negro about James Baldwin. (Yes, it is on Netflix.) Our convo inspired me to call my parents and find out what my grandparents thought about the civil rights movement, and it was immensely interesting to me, so I thought I'd write about it.
Apologies in advance that some of the parts that
Listen, I LOVE the Fab Five. I just watched a video of Antoni and Jonathan Van Ness taking a BFF test and it made me want to know the answers about all my wonderful HPFT peeps. ❤️

This is my second year teaching you. And, as you know, I now teach you in two different classes. Of every high schooler I’ve taught, you stand out as one who struggles with listening, with not talking at the wrong time, with focusing on your work.

Thank you so much to @TreacleTart and @starbuck for their help in putting together this blog post!

As you may know if you've looked at the bullet journal thread in the Great Hall, I am absolutely obsessed with bullet journaling. ? It's an addiction. I have a problem. ??
Since it's almost a new month, I spent some time tonight setting up my bullet journal spread for September. Part of this monthly ritual includes choosing a quote to inspire me for the next thirty days. I decided I wanted a place to record and share all the quotes I've used so far, so here they are!
