I sat down with Ambria, a middle school social studies teacher in her first year. We talk about our classroom conditions, working conditions, and why we're on strike. I got the text while recording that CTU President Jesse Sharkey and Mayor Lori Lightfoot came to an agreement, suspending the strike.

About halfway through, glad you're healing and sorting out your interiority, I have a long way to go on that front myself. I agree with most of your instincts on Dave Chappelle broadly and this latest dustup specifically. My one point of contention so far is deploying the white people thing in his defense because it scans as the same sort of PMC liberal laziness communists deal with when critiquing the Democratic Party. Or contrasting Beyonce with Rhianna, for that matter.
