I have just been numb, absorbed in school and not publishing a lot other than poems. I seek solace in nature, poetry, books and art and am going there. I have things in my notebook, stories I want to write about how this election is going to affect my Black, Brown, trans and gay students - how it is and has been affecting them emotionally - actually, I did have one article published in Medium about that. It did not get much traction. One hate comment that I am still itching to respond to, but am ignoring. I still have not published on Substack only because I cannot narrow in on one thing, one niche that I would focus on. But today I was thinking maybe something on finding/respecting/honoring nature in the city. And/or vignettes from the classroom. What it's really like on the "inside." Thanks for your insights, Walter.

I think the vignettes from the classroom are excellent, but your writing is always thoughtful. I'm happy to read anything!
