Me post-show. I never take pictures so this is a big deal! (And I’m wearing a dress!) #thefindingaid

Thanks for coming folks — It was awesome. I am very self-critic so I have many notes on what I could have done better, but I’m really excited that the event went well and I can get back on a regular sleeping pattern :) More to come soon!

Sad I missed it. I was hard at work. You look fab!

Yay! Congrats Sister Comrade Archivist In Front of the Camera for Once!!! Love you!!!!

““Capitalism would have us believe that we only deserve to be here because of what we produce, and even in our counter- cultures, even in our movements we reproduce the same idea. We only deserve to be here because of what we can produce that other people will buy with their money, time or attention. Our experience of our own lives is secondary, it is only the means of production, it is the products that matter, and unless we make ourselves into both factories and widgets we are not valuable.””

Why I love Recess, especially Miss Grotke

Images 1, 7, 8: she’s a feminist

Image 5: notice how she’s talking about endangered species and on the wall, there is a poster of Earth Day

Image 6: she’s aware of and against white supremacy and eurocentrism

Images 2, 3, 4, 6: history teachers are technically not allowed to give their opinion they’re just supposed to teach what’s in the books, but she doesn’t care and makes sure her students know it

Black and white version here [x]

Reblogging again for that commentary.

I am her right this minute. Y’all have no idea, lol.
