The joy of teaching in Paris: in my other life as a classroom teacher, things are going well
I dug deep this week with some reflections about the part-time work I do with ISART DIGITAL Paris as an English teacher. There were no plans for it to be an ongoing thing when I started 2022, but I ended up loving it so much that I still do it.
I make a point of keeping up with some of the dark rhetoric that takes place in fringe media.
Anyone who follows me on Instagram has seen for themselves how often Donald Trump is on my mind.
