TMI ALERT🚨 This is the other* side of pregnancy TMI ALERT🚨 This is the other* side of pregnancy.🤰This is a picture of me from a month ago. I had to spend 24 hours peeing into that stupid cup to collect in a jug (it was a lot!). 💦🚽🥃 Because of my condition, my doctor is checking for high protein levels in my urine. Good news! ALL NORMAL. But the test will be repeated in a few weeks. Pregnancy is not all cute bump pics 😂 but I got some of those too. #pregnancy #pregnancylife #highriskpregnancy #pregnancyloss #realpregnancy #lifeunfiltered #jisforjourney #babyfuri

“The future is in MY classroom!” @veryjane 🌎 💕 ••• Lately I’ve been incredibly inspired by many of my students for their interest in global current events, 🌎 their patience in listening to each other 🗣& ability to adapt in this crazy school year 🏫 ••• So I decided to send this email to all my parents: “I wanted to reach out to commend each and every one of you for all you have done to raise such wonderful teenagers; yes, I mean it! I cannot imagine how difficult it is to raise kids in this world. But you are doing an amazing job. I have been blown away by the students' resiliency, flexibility, perseverance, and historical curiosity this year. I have been teaching World History for 7 years and I do not think that I have ever had such a consistent bunch of students who are politically, socially, and globally minded. The students have asked for opportunities for discussion and deep analysis with their peers to tackle the same basic questions humanity has always wrestled with. Each time, I am floored by their respect, openness, and willingness to learn from each other. Additionally, the connections they have made from the course content to our modern world demonstrate that they are way more mindful of contemporary events that I ever was in high school. So, whatever you are doing at home - keep it up! They are a fantastic bunch, and you should be incredibly proud of the future global citizens you are raising.” ••• #thefutureisinclusive #highschool #worldhistoryteacher #publicschoolteacher #teachersofinstagram #coexist #teacherlife #socialstudiesteacher #jisforjourney #teachingthefuture @principal_reynolds

‼️warning, this is a political post pretending ‼️warning, this is a political post pretending to be about this gorgeous chicken I made for dinner ‼️Cooking is my catharsis when the world is crazy & so I’ve spent a lot of time in the kitchen since like 4 years ago lol 😂 BUT in all seriousness, there is something I want to say: The crazy, loud, conspiracy-loving minority has never had an enormous impact, but the silent, acquiescing majority does. IF you just “let something go” because you don’t want to cause drama, or keep silent while witnessing injustice you CONDON it. You give it life. ••• Speak up for human rights. ✊🏿Speak up for the weak. 👫Speak up for the future. 🌍 Because if you don’t, the bigoted minority will push you out of the way & you will lose your opportunity to make this world a better place. ✌️ ••• #lockhimup #peaceandlove #stopthespread #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #coexist #speakup #jisforjourney #scienceisreal #climatechangeisreal #prolife #blacklivesmatter #learnhistory
