Neuro-spicy and (audio)bookish. Overstimulated af. Big on thrifting, gardening, and opting-out of capitalism at every opportunity. 🌈🌈🌈 I mostly post aerial content and the books I read because they bring me joy in this ever darkening reality.
I’m in Chicago and my neighborhood is being absolutely terrorized by ICE. Multiple people in my neighborhood have been abducted. My child’s school has been in lock down because they’ve been right outside with weapons. A family friend with three kids has been detained for weeks. #fuckice #fucktrump

I love when I can do an open split and look like a contortionist. Gravity is really doing me favors in this pose but, as usual, the camera angle is unfortunate. #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky

I finally got the hang of this double belay. I’m normally not a fan of complicated wraps but this is pretty fun. #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky

Finally a bit of good news. Hands down my favorite insect.
After struggling over the last few years, experts say that fireflies are lighting up Chicago this summer. The small bugs seem to be thriving this season, thanks to a mild winter and wet spring.

I just finished lesson planning to teach my first ever aerial classes this weekend! I’m teaching an adult class, a kids class, and a caregiver/child class. I’m so excited! Hit me with your best coaching advice or something that your favorite coach does! #aerialsilks #aerialsrts

I am generally not centered in this spin but there are moments when I get there. And I’m definitely spinning faster than I was a few weeks ago. So I’m seeing progress and that is super rewarding. #aerialarts #aerialsilks #dancesky

I really like this new (to me) hip key roll up climb.

I got to perform with my child for the first time last weekend one day after his 6th birthday. This was one of my favorite things I’ve ever done. We performed at an exhibition showcase and it was so much fun. He did an amazing job and was so brave! #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky

Here’s a little split we worked on last night. It was really hard to to tell if I was actually in the split or not until I looked at the video. 🙃 #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky #gymsky

It’s sloppy but it’s the start of a flare up. These look so amazing when others do them. I’m excited to continue working on them! #aerialarts #aerialsilks #dancesky #fitnesssky

I’m feeling very pleased that this robin chose my porch to raise her family. I wish I could get a better look to see how many eggs she’s got under there. #birds

Yesterday I spent some time repacking food for @fooddepository.bsky.social Chicago’s Food Bank. They’re a great organization providing food and working to end hunger in Chicago. Volunteer shifts are available every day if you’re looking for ways to contribute. Highly recommend! #chicago #volunteer

Has anyone read The Broken Earth trilogy by @nkjemisin.bsky.social? I just finished The Fifth Season last night and whoa was it heartbreaking (in the best way!) I immediately ran to @libbyapp.com and checked out The Obelisk Gate! #booksky #fantasy #scifi

I finally had some success centering this spin! I have always loved seeing this performed by others and I’m so pleased to finally be having some success myself. Open gym training today was a welcome reprieve from the horrors. #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky #fitnesssky

This is a fun creature to straddle back transition. I have always loved creature, it works with my hypermobility and everyone loves a foot-hat! 😅 #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky #gymsky #fitnesssky

Serious question: how do you get work done when the book you’re reading gets good? How am I supposed to work in a time like this??? #booksky

We need more of this energy. Thank you @booker.senate.gov
The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.
