Hey, y'all, I just got a call from vwbug, who was getting out of her much anticipated and stressed over meeting at school- she said that it went REALLY well, and she is pleased with the discussion and feels "incredibly validated." (Apparantly this is not the first time this student has provoked this sort of response).
Anyway, she said she wouldn't be getting to a computer anytime soon so she just wanted me to pop on and let all the supportive folks know how things worked out for her today, so no one was worried or anything.
YAY BUG!
Congrats on the callback, Juliana!
Can someone please e-mail me so I know my e-mail is working? Thanks.
Hey, Nora, wanna imagine you're meeting me for a beer tonight?
Hugs for those that need them.
Laura, your hair looks great! very bright! (how do you stay pale living in FLORIDA?)
I wash out my hair with plain water in between shampoos, but scrub conditioner through it. Gets the product I use rinsed out and any surface dirt. I use Aveda's shampoo and conditioner for keeping the hair red, but I also used some conditioner - John Frieda (sp?) I think - that's for red hair.
Walkout update. Now all the kids from both high schools are on the big auditorium and there are a ton of press and police. She just sent me a picture and it is madness.
Those cuts are insane, and I'm so glad you've got a chance to get CJ to a better school sitch -- but can I say that I'm ridiculously proud of the students for walking out? It's like, yay, baby activists! Take charge and be heard and all that good stuff!
Nora, thanks for the bug update. Very good to hear.
Laura, that is a spectacular red! And Jessica's hair is to love, also. We are all verra, verra pretty.
Suzi, I wish I could send Dontrelle Willis and Jimmy Rollins this link. I know they've both donated to Encinal. I think they'd do it again.
java, I'm sure they are aware. Dontrelle's mom, at least, still lives in town.
K-But is now texting me about telling folks to pass the proposed parcel tax. I know no one here lives in our district, but still...baby activist.
Thanks for posting that link.
The girl's softball team is supposed to have a game in Livermore today. Wonder if they will go or "walk out" on that too.
