I just learned that a regular attendee at our church was gay and I told him that our church being “Recycling” in Christ was a big reason why I wanted to come too. Then I realized I meant to say *Reconciling*. Thankful for a church that accepts us all. @reconcilingworks.bsky.social

I’m so blessed to have people in my life this week who choose to spend time with me and make me feel loved.

It’s been a wonderful fall break and spending time with the boys relaxing and getting things at home organized.

Behold, my placebo-inator! A school age child can put their hand or finger owie into the inator, count to 5, take it out, and it feels better!

Happy to announce I have met another weight loss goal

I just had to say goodbye to my dog because I gave her up for adoption. She hasn’t adjusted well to our recent move and just needs more time and space than I can give her. My heart has been torn apart. It’s been 30 minutes and I miss her so much. 🐾 💔

First date tonight…

I really do just have the best children. I’m so proud of the teenagers they are and the young men they are growing up to be.

Sometimes you need a coffee on your balcony with your cat and dog at your side.

I feel like I’ve done something right as a dad when my son walks into the living room after unpacking and says “Wow, Papi! W books!”

Our last night in Raleigh. Tomorrow we are back to Midtown after 7 years. It’s bittersweet moving out of the home where I’ve raised my children but we’re all looking forward to this next adventure.

I’m loving watching #Wicked with my dear oldest. Such a beautiful way to spend a hot Saturday.

I graduated with my MA in Spanish from Middlebury College 20 years ago today. It was the end of a journey that included new experiences, illness, relearning how to walk, and still learning. I’m thankful to my community and community of educators who’ve poured into me all these years. #langchat

Remember that student I mentioned that I ran into the other night? I saw him again last night at a different venue. He was a Spanish minor. “The path to proficiency doesn’t end,” he declared. And I felt so proud! #langchat

What a swing from seeing a former high school student last night to doing school shopping for my son who starts high school on Monday! #backtoschool

When you’re in a restaurant at midnight and hear a grown ass man say “Profe PJ” and it’s a student you had 10 years ago.

One more weekend before starting year 20! #backtoschool

Thankful for the opportunity to share about #neurodivergence and inclusion in the world language classroom today. #langchat

Not to brag but I have Helena Curtain in my contacts.

Fixed Trump’s map.

When you send your middle school son a video of your karaoke.

Nothing like a little open mic comedy sesh followed by some karaoke with your little queer family. Always a good time with @dustrebooted.bsky.social.

Immensely proud that my 8th grader is choosing to wear a guayabera for his graduation ceremony tonight. #orgulloboricua

A first grader gave me a rock to care for because he knew he could trust me to take care of it.

The Supreme Court should no more accept a case on whether or not birthright citizenship is constitutional than they should hear a case on whether or not freedom of speech is constitutional. Even considering the question as up for debate should be considered an unconstitutional act.

Im a Spanish #teacher, so I teach children how to compassion on their neighbor. And I do it with painted nails. This is my greatest act of resistance.

Happy State Testing! 🎉 💫

Working in jokes for tomorrow’s open mic night. I love this time for “shes, gays & theys”

We found out about my son getting into an early college program high school for next year 9th grade and he didn’t realize how hard it was to get until yesterday.

Seen in a school in Memphis: Everyone is welcome. And no one has said a thing about it. Memphis sure has its issues—what city doesn’t?—but one thing is for certain: Everyone is welcome here.

The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom then shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? This I believe - that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord and be strong. Take heart and wait for the Lord. —Psalm 27

Learn to do good, seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow. —Isaiah 1

I just witnessed two black students stand up for and in solidarity with a Latina student who was being messed with. They even helped her fix her hair. That’s what’s up.

Had this lovely exchange with a trans family member. #TransDayofVisibility
