what I've been up to. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I disappeared for a bit and it’s because September became full of several unexpected ordeals, and also because almost a full month of poor sleep meant that when I *did* write an essay, my nervous system was so shot I anxiously deleted it right before hitting send. Thank you for your patience and shoutout to anyone else in the sleepless/high-anxiety part of perimenopause.

Most of my non-college course offerings have been writing workshops. I love those! But my first love was teaching theory, history, and critical thinking.
