"Homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity,
patriarchy, sexism, gender and sexuality-based
violence; these are realities that we have to
grapple with all around the world. It's very
dangerous to pathologize Palestinian society
as uniquely homophobic or that homophobia
is endemic to the society without this broader
context, as well as without understanding
the ways that life under brutal military
occupation exacerbates homophobia within
Palestinian society as well. In order for us to
deal with questions of how queer people are
treated in Palestine, we have to address the
broader landscape of the denial of freedom to
Palestinians more generally speaking."

in imageAt last, there was the possibility of a learning community, a place
where difference could be acknowledged, where we would finally all
understand, accept, and affirm that our ways of knowing are forged
in history and relations of power. Finally, we were all going to break
through collective academic denial and acknowledge that the
education most of us had received and were giving was not and is
never politically neutral.

you need to do more
than eat nourishing food,
exercise, and rest to feel your best
you also need to be around good people,
spend time healing your emotional history,
live in alignment with your values,
say no to people-pleasing,
stay open to growth,

in imageMany cultures believe that an eclipse is the sun and the
moon being devoured by mythological creatures. In Chinese
mythology, it's a dragon; in Norse and Korean, it's wolves. For
the Cherokee and Vietnamese, it's a frog. For the Maori in
New Zealand and Hindus in India, it's a demon. For the Pomo,
it's a bear. They all created "noise rituals" to scare away the
dark: whistling and screaming at the sky, or banging on
drums or pots and pans.
We've mastered noise rituals in our modern world, too. We
created plenty of places to yell at one another about things
we don't understand or can't control: elections, race, gender,
genocides, the climate. Even if yelling is more likely to move
the heavens than change another person's mind.
The Batammaliba in West Africa believe an eclipse is the sun
and moon in a celestial conflict. They perform the opposite
of a noise ritual: the community gathers for rituals of
forgiveness. Elders mediate conflicts, gifts are exchanged,
followed by feasts and music. They show the sun and moon
reconciliation by example.
There's no ritual big enough to heal current divisions. But we
can create rituals of absolution for just ourselves, quietly
warding off the demons of our own shame with a meditation
that says, "I may not understand what is happening, but life
is short, and the universe is infinite...maybe 1 really am just
doing my best in the darkness."

in image4 years since the WHO declared COVID-19 a
pandemic. Many of us never dropped our shoulders
after that. Some of us literally can't breathe the same.
COVID was not the great equalizer we naively hoped,
but it was an event of mass clarity. Changed how we
saw people and government. There are friends and
family I still don't talk to, not after I witnessed risks
and privileges so different from mine. Did I overreact?
The official death toll is 7 million, but related deaths
are immeasurably higher. Is 4 years enough to mourn?
When will I get over streaming my grandmother's
funeral on a shitty signal on Facebook Live?
COVID fractured our version of reality. How could
some of us believe in a disease and others not? See
masks and vaccinations so differently? And how do
we consider millions dead and disabled but
also...good things? How many origin stories start with
"during the pandemic, I..started my business, learned
to (blank), got pregnant, got this dog, fell in love."
COVID changed our center of gravity by 6 feet, forced
us to cross the Rubicon. What parts of us stayed in
that lockdown, and what parts were set free?

"Of particular interest to me is how much overlap there is between hatha yoga and singing. Not only do I find our lessons useful for my voice, I am able to find new and interesting depths in my meditations. Thanks to Madeline's teachings, I now chant with greater confidence, and as such am able to un-apologetically share more aspects of yogic practice. I also actually enjoy singing now. I'm so grateful."

in imageIve forgiven the teacher who let me fend off my
bully alone, even if I can trace Nex's death to him
too. I'll even forgive the 3 children in that bathroom
who just ruined their lives. I don't have time for
them today. I'd rather remember my other teacher.
The "bachelor" who read us poetry. Who, thinking
he was alone in the classroom one day, got into a
sweet argument on the phone with his "roommate"
about what couch to buy. How he whispered "We
can talk about it when I get home?" Who pulled me
aside atter my grandfather died to say "Crying is
not a weakness.'
Nex's death sits in our tummy next to memories of
child violence. Maybe this will spark some change.
America needs sweet-faced sacrificial lambs to
care about Queers. Ask Matthew Shepard's ghost.
As we struggle through rage and numbness,
remember a teacher who helped you survive.
Thank them in your mind.
War should make us grateful as well as angry.

in imageI keep thinking of Nex Benedict stumbling out of
that bathroom. Every Queer knows why the school
didn't call an ambulance or the cops. How fast
would the cavalry be if the blonde homecoming
queen got jumped 3 to 1?
We can trace this to anti-Trans laws and
the
damaged b-tch over at Libs of TikTok, to "the
rhetoric"...but these deaths are so much older. Our
school system has rarely been "safe" for Queers. I
was Nex's age when my bully outed me in front of
the entire class. "He's a f-ggot and we all know it."
My teacher just stood there and shrugged like it
was my fault. Now I have to act shocked and
outraged, call this a "wakeup call" so more straight
people give a sh-t. What I am is numb. Another
one. Another reminder that Queer culture was
built on concussions.

The Spiritual Pilgrim
Upgrade

all its torms, yogasana (postural practice),
devotion, and Buddhism—it's all yoga. So, it's
offered differently than a yoga retreat as it's not
really a vacation in the traditional sense of
"getting away from it all", but rather an experience
that is cultivated to challenge us on various levels
that are highly dependent on each individuals life
experience. I've seen it serve as such a positive
force for growth and transformation in the lives of
those who join us and that energizes me to
continue the work.

in imageHere's this man, for example, that most people remember by what
is a very poetic " Have a Dream" speech, but not by the deep,
penetrating social and political analysis he had about
imperialism. And why? Because, in a sense, we censor that
Martin Luther King. Even, like, a Martin Luther King holiday is
constructed to make him more palatable.

in imageThe reason that the plural of goose is
geese but the plural of moose is not
meese is because goose derives from
an ancient Germanic word
undergoing strong declension, in
the pattern of foot/ feet and
tooth/teeth, wherein oo is mutated
to ee. However'moose'is a Native
American word added to the
English lexicon only ~400 years ago,
and lacks the etymological reason
to be pluralized in that way.

Now my feeling is that our hope lies in reality
because the culture of empire - the capitalist,
hedonistic patriarchal culture is driven by fantasy -
an addiction to fantasy. To the extent that we can
encourage and promote facing realty we have
concrete reasons to hope.

in imagelarugayoga I will tell you, after years of doing Bhekāsana, I never feel like I get the chest high enough, hahaha.
.
But with that said, is it wrong to strive for it? Why not? As I reach for growth in any pursuit, I might miss, and I might fail, but at least I strive for something beyond what I am capable of in this moment. It's not for everybody, and that's okay. As long as there is grace and acceptance for where I am now, I can still reach for the stars. ✨ ✨ ✨
