Living Spaces

BONJOUR!

I've only seen two different flats in Paris, but both of them have had very inviting courtyards that give me apartment-envy. On another note, my dog-mom radar has been going off a lot lately, which doesn't rest when you're in a city that cherishes their dogs dearly. The little black puppy lives in my friend Kat and Cyrus's building. We asked the owner to let us say hello.

Bicycle Shop

Just down the road from my AirBnB, there was a bike shop that caught my eye. Mostly because I've come to realize that bicycle shops in the U.S., mainly the midwest, aren't that great. My affinity for magical storefronts stopped me in my tracks once again...

More pictures and traveling updates to come!

AU REVOIR!

"It's like a giant, f'd up selfie," Martel has said of the "We Can't Stop" video. But at this point, when the self become a selfie — when people start approaching themselves and others as things, to be posed, bartered or possessed, rather than as beings with rich and infinitely various inner lives —morality becomes destabilized, making it difficult to determine the difference between a playful risk and real one, or even between violation and fun.

why i'll probably leave teaching after my 2 years are up

Gerald Gerald Conti’s retirement letterConti Letter

education isn't a means to an end. educators have been scrutinized for too long and it shouldn't be a mystery as to why there is a growing need for grade school teachers. it's not fun when i think about what and who i'm actually working for.

i feel bad for my students.

i've known a lot of people who i've wished to say something like this to, but never did. probably why i was always so annoyed by audrey hepburn's character.

“Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong. Remember, when the emperor looks naked, he is naked. A truth and a lie are not ‘sort of’ the same thing. And there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can’t be improved with pizza.” Well said, Daria.
