Youtube keeps recommending me tips on how to be more feminine. I don’t want to be more feminine, I don’t want to be human, I want to be a single flower growing out of concrete, I want to be the moss where your feet run in, I want to be the sound of a close river flowing nowhere in particular, I want to be a 200 year old giant oak tree. I want to be the ancient forest where you go to escape the chaos of life. I want you to look around to dense trees with long leaves and feel like you can breathe.

There's hope.

My co-teacher came up with an idea. She said to me: “I’m going to project a Shakespearean sonnet on the board that you have never seen before. They are going to watch you struggle through it, and they are going to see what it takes to authentically annotate something to attempt to understand it”. This was a good idea because it targeted a pitfall of my teaching: that I already know the answer— a predetermined answer I want my students to come to. Therefore, when I ask the class a question, they are aware that there is an answer in my head I want them to arrive at. This method can stifle students’ voice. So, I stood at the front of the classroom that day, feeling exposed, sight-reading Shakespearean sonnets. With most of the sonnets, I, with the help of the class, could only get to about 75% understanding and accuracy at best. But my confusion — my apparent struggle and frustration in understanding each new sonnet— was key for my students. They felt free to posit their interpretations and even to disagree with me. In each session, a student shared a thought or possibility that not only I had failed to see but was also ultimately accurate. One student couldn’t wipe the smile off her face when she figured out a metaphor that stumped both me and my co-teacher. “This was fun”, she and her classmate said to each other when the bell rang.

Wait, there was an actual person named Fairy Moon and she got married in a cave??? That is some fae shenanigans.

...did she take her husband's name?

Yes! Fairy Moon was the daughter of Frank Moon, an Australian speleologist (someone who studies caves). Here is an article about Frank that includes the cave pictured here.

As for the last name, I unfortunately haven’t spent enough time researching yet to answer!
