I think I’m the first fat person on the cover of @yogajournal. A black fatty who doesn’t hate themselves on the cover of one of the whitest magazines in history. Well I’ll be damned. What does that really mean, though? What should I take from that?
I’m excited. Don’t get me wrong. I’m very happy about all of this. But what does it mean for me to strive for the approval of white supremacist institutions? What does that say about who I am? About who this would has trained me to be? In my happiness I see my desire to be seen in the light of whiteness. To be accepted by those who oppress me. To receive a mark of approval from those who will never respect me.
When will I learn that the mark of approval is unnecessary? When will I learn that I need not tap dance for the enjoyment of white audiences? When will I learn that my blackness is not for sale? When will I learn that my self-approval is not on the auction block?
I’m happy. But I’m critical. Because I’m practicing. And practicing is more than just poses.
When we do the actual work of #yoga, nasty shit comes up. Don’t run from it- this is the actual work. We all have a role to play and we must all accept our responsibility. Everything else is just make believe.
so we’ve tried explaining vaccines using science and that scared people
but what if
instead
we told them that vaccines actually contain magic rocks or healing energy
“we left this rabies vaccine in the light of a full moon to cleanse it, so it’s safe. everyone knows about the link between rabies and full moons :)”
“vaccination is an ancient practice going back at least hundreds of years that draws on your body’s natural healing abilities to let you fight disease naturally”
Hey instead of a Harry Potter world there should be a lord of the rings world where it’s super immersive and you’re given a sword when you enter the world and giant spiders chase you and the elf actors eat dirt and offer you some
can we befriend and/or flirt with the giant spiders asking for a friend
It’s you’re adventure you can do whatever you want but watch out!
HI, THIS EXISTS, IT’S CALLED EVERMORE PARK, IT’S IN PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH
it’s more of a DND park but it’s fantasy and characters give you quests and when you finish quests they give you a tarot card with the characters on it
The town functions as a real-time story with a plot and everybody has backstory and movie-quality makeup and shit
