🔮Ready for some woo-woo??? 🔮
I have a few friends from DC visiting an #ashtanga retreat center in Goa. Taking a visit to #arambol (a bit of a hike from the retreatcenter) they took a 🎥of this rad #tightrope walker -- thinking of me and my love for the weird, they posted the clip on the internet and tagged me. Guess what?? I had just done the same thing, but hadn't posted! A few minutes later, we ran smack into each other... Just next to the performer!!🎪
🔮I felt conjured by white magic. 🔮
In New Orleans, as in Arambol, there are performers everywhere. The unwritten rule of ettiquiette is that you are free to watch, but taking pictures should lead to 💰💰💰
The age of the performer and the vibe of the older gal collecting the money gave me the heeby-jeebies. She was young and the lady was very gruff... Do. Not. Like. And I love throwing money at drag queens, strippers, and circus performers-- yikes!😳
Stair was the owner of the yoga studio that housed and incubated me as I became a #mysore style #ashtanga #yoga teacher. Thank god she was kinder to me than that scary old lady. 👵🏾👵🏾👵🏾
I try not to doubt the power of the universe to give stage direction, and this was just one more chance to see it in action. There is magic everywhere (especially NoLa and Goa) I think yoga helps us listen and hear for the cues, and our seniors can either really help us with that-- to see and feel the magic... 🎩
... Or they can stiffle and silence and take advantage -- something akin to labor violations. Allowing for beauty and growth and magic doesn't mean not seeing the ugly, the oppression, and the macabre.

Yoga's not all rainbows and kittens.

Last year I appeared in federal court functioning as a symbol of potential for my asylum seeking then-boyfriend. In many countries, you can still be killed legally for being queer. He was a victim of the gang violence the article mentions-- as some of you may recall, when I was a victim of this kind of violence, we called it a hate crime. In Russia, there is no crime. I have never been more patriotic than in the moment his asylum was granted. I am gutted to hear that our attorney general is going to leave my marginalized brothers and sisters to die at the hands of their community or country.

no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark...
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city
running as well...
no one would leave home
unless home chased you...
you have to understand,
no one puts their children in
a boat
unless the water is safer than

CLINTON: And it's pretty clear ...
TRUMP: You're the puppet!
@dharrieta
CLINTON: It's pretty clear you won't admit ...
TRUMP: No, you're the puppet.
CLINTON: ... that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks
against the United States of America, that you encouraged
espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout
the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do
whatever he wants to do, and that you continue to get help
from him, because he has a very clear favorite in this race.
So 1 think that this is such an unprecedented situation. We've
never had a foreign government trying to interfere in our
election. We have 17 — 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and
military, who have all concluded that these espionage
attacks, these cyberattacks, come from the highest levels of
the Kremlin and they are designed to influence our election. I
find that deeply disturbing.
WALLACE: Secretary Clinton...
CLINTON: And I think it's time you take a stand ...
TRUMP: She has no idea whether it's Russia, China, or
anybody else.
CLINTON: I am not quoting myself.
TRUMP: She has no idea.
CLINTON: | am quoting 17 ...
TRUMP: Hillary, you have no idea.
CLINTON: ... 17 intelligence — do you doubt 17 military and
civilian ...
TRUMP: And our country has no idea.
CLINTON: ... agencies.
TRUMP: Yeah, I doubt it. I doubt it.
CLINTON: Well, he'd rather believe Vladimir Putin than the
military and civilian intelligence professionals who are sworn
to protect us. I find that just absolutely frightening.

Tried to buy Janelle Monae tickets off of Craigslist today. Found some just above face value -- and the guy showed up with the tickets! They were printouts.
They say "purchased by Ryan Selbach (or something)" -- so I ask if that's him. He tells me no; that's his girlfriend. I was like-- no sweat, let me call the anthem and make sure they're legit. All the while, he's giving me a sob story about going to NYC to break up with his gf.
So, I get the Anthem on the line... And he takes off running.
His number is 202.902.9083 🙂

This weekend was the Mysore Magic Retreat weekend to Knoxville with @livelyogini and 22 practitioners from all over the DMV. The bravery, commraderie, dedication, and good humor will stay with me for a good long while. I wish the raspberry cober would, too.
For me, the major theme of the weekend was intersectionality: between honesty, non harming, and contentment-- how we can find that intersection on the mat, our relationships, and our work.
Thank you so much, Maggie!!!

Iâve met a lot of polite bigots in my 35 years. Iâve never asked their party affiliations. I do not believe for one second every republican is purposefully engaging in the propagation of bigotry, but in 2018, every vote for a republican is a vote co-signing the continuation of institutionalized white supremacy and the denigration of those near and dear to my heart across a broad stroke of categories.
