Fleas and rats features a monthly essay on a little thing by Tom Kertes, an American-Canadian essayist living in Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
The monthly essay is published the second Monday of each month.
Musings, reflections on topics, ideas, themes, and issues (lead-ins to future essays) are posted weekly — on most other Mondays.
A Little Bit About Me
Like 99.999% of the 8,000,000,000 of us, my life is filled doing some of the little things that we all do to make our world — things like… teaching reading, caring for children, and volunteering in my community.
I was a child care worker and labour organizer from 1999-2015. I am a public school teacher (since 2015) and I currently teach high school English.
I immigrated to Canada in 2007 and became a Canadian citizen in 2014.
I have both Canadian citizenship and American citizenship.
