It’s a back-to-school snack. It’s a classic for Rosh Hashanah. Actually cookies are good any time at all, right? A sweet treat. A comfort. Milk and cookies were what my Mom served after school, back in the day. These date honey cookies are a riff on her recipe (regular honey is ok to use though). Recipe is in the profile and on my blog. Good for dunking btw. #honeycookies #sugarcookies #honeysugarcookies #roshhashana #roshhashana2020 #datehoney #datehoneycookies #silan #silancookies #backtoschool #backtoschool2020 #backtoschoolsnack #backtoschoolsnacks https://www.instagram.com/p/CFAJHJfF57Y/?igshid=1szdgx5w6poz0

Monday, September 14

Stop the Mayor’s Reopening Plan!

We’re just a few days into the school reopening plan negotiated by the Mayor and UFT leadership, and it’s already clear our communities are in danger. Positive cases around the city have been reported among staff, requiring colleagues to quarantine at a moment’s notice. Staff returned to buildings with sinks, windows, toilets still broken, without PPE and without adequate staffing for the hybrid model. The DOE released their ventilation reports on Labor Day, the night before staff was required to report.

We need to act. NOW. Before students come back into the building and everything gets worse.

Join our Day of Action on Monday, September 14th.

Here’s how you can help:

Using Monday as a day in which you circulate the MORE petition for full remote.

Having members sign a joint letter detailing the safety problems in your school. This might be sent to elected officials or to the parents of students in your school, or can be shared (anonymously, if you need) with the MORE media team (media@morecaucusnyc.org) to post on our social media.

Organize your staff to wear #redfored.  Take photos and post them on your social media with the hashtags #backtoschool2020 #notuntilitssafe.

Make calls to the Mayor, Chancellor and governor demanding a remote start to the year. Here is a phone zap script you can adapt.

Picket outside the school before work hours. Members at the Taft campus are already doing this. You can also join meetings from outside the school.

Lunch-time walkout. If done during lunch this will not subject members to disciplinary action.

Refuse to go into work in solidarity with your colleagues. This requires a high degree of membership solidarity to pull off effectively.

I have been very quiet lately and will continue to be for the foreseeable future because I’M GOING BACK TO COLLEGE 🤗 I’m excited but also pretty nervous. I’ll be sure to check in here every once in awhile plus I’m hoping to keep reading while I’m in school. I have a feeling my monthly wrap-ups are going to be much smaller after this month 😩 . 📚 . This bookstack is filled with a bunch of new releases from this past week. A huge thank you to the tagged publishers for my gifted copies! . 📚 . #jennblogsbooks #newbooks #newrelease #giftedbooks #backtoschool2020 #entering13thgrade #englishmajor #booksbooksbooks #bookstack #bookflatlay #readallthebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPkT1hl56B/?igshid=jum40lfqcz6x

It’s back-to-school time for most of the county, so let’s have some fun with these awesome back-to-school quotes.

[authorgeek]

It’s been a while...

This is a really long one, and it’s not very positive or uplifting, so click at your own discretion, but I need to get it off my chest. If you even bother to take the time to read this the whole way through - just know I love you, and thanks for sticking with me.

If you know my story, you know I’m a fighter. From my first moments on this planet, I have taken every breath and lived every moment of my life in the knowledge that - I’m here for a reason, and by divine intervention. I wouldn’t be alive otherwise. I was diagnosed with my first genetic disorder at a few months old, and then my chronic illness/autoimmune disorder at 13. I spent my 13th birthday in the hospital and was diagnosed officially 3 days later. I am currently 21. I spent my 21st birthday during spring break of my Junior year of Uni sitting at home, drinking a total of 3 shots and watching Disney movies. The original plan was to go out to a pub, but everything had already shut down for Covid -19 and I was relocating back home for the rest of term as my campus shut down around me within a matter of weeks. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety as a symptom of my illnesses my whole life, but it’s been admittedly so much worse lately. I can’t trust my government to care for its citizens, and I can’t trust many citizens to care for each other.

I’ll start with masks. On one level - face coverings activate my medical PTSD and it’s triggering to see everyone wearing them because, to my mind, those belong in the hospital and so something must be very very wrong. Yes, I say to my anxious, shallow breathed self, something is. There is a global pandemic running rampant in my country directly due to my governments malicious inaction. That’s why these masks are needed, and it’s ok. These people are protecting you, and themselves. I’ve calmed down from this first wave just to hear/remember that people still don’t want to wear them. That they don’t care. That to them, I don’t exist. Their concept of the world does not include people like me in it, or worse, should not include people like me in the first place, and so my life holds no meaning to them. That’s even scarier than the first wave of panic I can eventually logic away. It terrifies me to the point that I just want to disappear. I want to crawl deep into a warm, dark hole where it is safe and I don’t have to worry, because no one can reach me. No one can hurt me here, curled up against this blackness, eyes wide and wrapped up so tightly in my own emotions that they become heavy and comforting as a blanket, protective and impenetrable as armor.

I can’t win. Wearing masks, not wearing masks, both make my chest tighten, breathing shallow, and I start to dissociate and shut down mentally in order to prevent expressing the panic I’m feeling internally. It hurts. This cycle ends with me in physical pain. I end up feeling crazy. I end up feeling like I’m overreacting. I end up feeling like I’m the one out of control and unable to be there for the people I love most.

Moving on - briefly - to a more direct violence, I grew up going to school post-columbine. I have watched grown ups, and those in power fail and dismiss student and child voices time and time again, for my entire living memory. I’ve survived bomb threats and shooting scares throughout both High school and college - though personally never been in an active shooter situation, another aspect of divine intervention, and protection, within my life. My entire generation has grown up watching those older than us, those we trusted, those who were supposed to protect us, fight for us. Our mothers took to the streets for us. Our teachers cried out on our behalf. They were met with nothing. Students began walking out of class. We left school when we didn’t feel safe. We were put on talk shows and given microphones. We got silence in response.

That’s just masks and gun violence. Add on top of this our heinous and fascist national leadership, the cries of black lives, disabled lives, immigrant lives, and the lives of extorted/victimized mothers and children - which I am not going to expand on here, but know - I hear you. I am one of you. I feel your pain. I stand with you.

I often struggle to understand how, and why, I am still alive. I wrestle regularly in the tragedy around me, and wondering why on earth through all of this, my life is preserved. I ask the existential Why Me? Why do I, and everyone around me have to hurt, so deeply, so terribly. I’ve heard it called survivor’s guilt. All I know is, I’m trying my best to grow up, and create a meaningful life for myself, while watching as this world kills people I love. Either literally, through systemic lack of healthcare, lack of economic resources, and systemic violence, or figuratively and spiritually. The lack of empathy, respect, and abundance of hatred and misery it takes for a person to see what is going on, and remain silent. To take no action, or even more horrifying, to celebrate as those you have deemed different or unworthy die. To sit in power under the protection of their economic resources and watch the rest of us burn, astounds and horrifies me to no end. They must have truly given up all hope, and any shred of connection to their humanity they once had. It is like watching the dead walk.

Oh, that’s it, isn’t it? I still feel the pain of this broken and grieving world. I still wish to protect those different from the societal norm/defaults. I still wish to stand for something bigger and better than this. That pain we’re in is a signal - yes, something is very, very wrong. It cannot be ignored any longer. That pain I feel means I have not shut myself off to the hope, humanity, and love inside of myself, that part of me that aches so badly for the sake of others. Those who look upon this mess, and feel nothing, they have become empty and hopeless shells, choosing to become numb and endless voids rather than feel that pain.

If those are my choices, I choose to hurt. I choose the panic and the aching and the sadness. I choose to let that small, but very loud part of my heart feel every ounce of the pain this world is experiencing, and I choose to scream. I choose to let her be heard. I choose to let her speak. She wants gentleness. She wants goodness. She wants redemption. She wants love. She wants healing. Broken and exhausted - battling every day for 21 years - I choose to let her voice be my guide.

We didn't have any punishment for our students or any real policies In our school. The district allows them to not have their camera on. Nothing too crazy happens in my class to punish my students anyway. That's not the case for everyone, though, do you have any virtual disciplinary actions in your school?
