In this episode, host Devon Young talks with first-year educator MJ Poss, who shares an honest reflection on what it’s really like to be a teacher in today’s public schools. From chronic underfunding to emotional burnout, MJ doesn’t hold back about the toll the system takes on its educators—and why, despite it all, they’re still committed to showing up. Through their perspective as a queer, nonbinary special education teacher, MJ also speaks to the importance of community, mutual aid, and visibility in and outside the classroom. It’s a raw, grounded conversation about resistance, survival, and care in a profession too often overlooked.
