being a teacher

sometimes i'll fill in for two hours to teach at an islamic school thats run and while i love the kids and hanging out with them it can be the most challenging thing ever to get them to listen to you

cutting kids some slack

i’ve seen a massive uptick of posts where teachers are talking about how awful and cruel their students are and it turns out they teach at a middle school. like yeah. of course theyre evil. theyre 13. being evil is kind of a requirement for that age. there seems to be a cultural amnesia as to what it was like to be young and trying to figure stuff out. if anything, i feel like kids these days are more understanding of diversity and any generation before them. a current middle schooler wouldn’t call me a queer, they’d make a much more cutting and hurtful remark about my appearance #progress also if your first reaction to your students misbehaving is to kvetch about it on reddit, maybe find a different line of work

san francisco, CA

people who aren’t physically here or don’t have an open mind won’t get it. some people even live here and refuse to understand it. beneath the tech mist is a burgeoning art/music/creative scene reminiscent of the early days. it’s the place to be and it’s gorgeous! you can surf, skate, snowboard, hike all in the same day then catch your buddies band at kilowatt! i love it here!!

going to local shows

yeah sometimes it’s $10-$15 for three bands you’ve never heard of but mostly it’s a night of new music, fun experiences, and cool people you would've never met otherwise. My band is playing at Arthouse Gallery in Berkeley.
