Middle school teacher
Shared custody
I teach eighth grade history, which means I have a high tolerance for chaos and a soft spot for people still figuring themselves out. I transitioned a decade ago. I am not new to myself. I want a partner who is not new to wanting something real.
Kids, carefully
I have my daughter most weekends. School nights are quieter. I am careful about who enters that orbit.
Rhythm: Most weekends

Humor
The kid who hated the class in September and stays after in May to argue about reconstruction.
Someone I can sit next to without performing. Someone who can hold a hard week without making it a referendum on us.
