OMG YOU NEED TO RELAX (Yin Yoga) with Maia Alexandra

A post-Ascension unwind and reset. Yin yoga works with breath, stillness, and releasing muscles to get into the fascia, the inner connected webbing of the joints and body. This is a feel good class!

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

So I'm annotating Doris Humphrey's "The art of Making Dances" and I don't think I've ever agreed with an author less. The notes in the margins are getting more sarcastic by the page. At this rate by the end of the book either it goes into the fire or I do

If you'd like to support your fave authors in 2025 but you're skint, you could:
- make a social media post about the book, just as basic as "i enjoyed this" and a picture (don't forget alt-text)
- rec it in a relevant reddit thread or Goodreads forum or Facebook group
Word of mouth has an impact!

Where are you making magic today? Seriously, this is such a soothing thought. So much nicer than "oh sh*t I gotta practice"
Realising my way of writing is akin to Penn and Teller's approach to magic; "Magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect."
My unique advantage / fatal flaw is sinking absurd hours into researching & writing things no one else would ever write about

This winter so far seems like one of the most winter-y of winters, and it hasn't even started yet.
