Science has decided that the kilogram is now anachronous, and in need of a lovely new retrofit. Two competing theories are vying to be the new canon, and I won't tell you too much about them lest I run the risk of subversively educating, so all you need to know is that we want Avogardo's Model to win because it has a much neater name than "Planck." We're not pirates or algea, afterall.
Intellectually, I'm all for changing the model for which we base the kilogram, if its currently built around an unstable base, but I have to wonder-- what happens to the drug trade? Will the base price for a kilo of pot go up or down?
I do all of my business with pot on the ounce level, kind of side stepping this GramGate by virtue of not buying too high of quantity or too low of quantity, but I'm sure that there are folks who do deal with it in the larger weight who will either have to pass the savings on to me or charge me more for their new overhead, and that could lead to some interesting situations.
Will it fuck with old school potheads forever? By 2007 the change looks to be in place; does this mean that all of the dealers have to go out and get new scales if they're relying on digital metric ones now? Will the phisheads cry foul?
Seems like a sticky-icky situation to me.

Well damn. You silly sons of bitches. How did ya'll miss Taint? Its not that far a drive-- and I worked my shit. You guys shoulda, too! Phoenix, Alex, and Mike Cooper did. Flordia, New Jeresy, Boston, Virginia? You all missed out. Just sayin'.
I'm spellbound by both Grey's Anatomy and Desparate Housewives. The former for its very real portrayal of how relationships go down (as I remember), and the latter for the sheer candytainment. Well written, engrossing. I'm on edge for each new episode. Markie was right, we are at the new coming of television.
This was a banner week for bruises in the land of Mike. I mentioned the twin extra long, and I guess I should have referenced its girth, too. Sore Mikey. Then, on Tuesday, I was jumping a fence to get to Columbia Plaza (go have a look, and see that big highway thingie? thats got a fence)... well, it had just started raining, and my foot slipped. As I was launching myself. I fell and flew about four-ish feet and also busted my ass on the pavement. I also hit a spokey-spoke.
Black and blue, strawberried, poked more than once and bleeding, I was a tore up fatty. I was crampy, bloody, as well as mostly jovial in re: to the whole matter. Lets be honest, kiddies, its a good story. When I was finally able to climb stairs like a normal human being, I awoke with a gunky eye. Apparently, three months of one contact set will do that to you.
I'm all healed now, my vision is fine (though the glasses are natch), and I can behave like a normal member of society. I, like any well trained mutt, have righted most wrongs and maybe even fixed the root source of all these problems.
Lack o' Lube? Uncheck. Fence Jumping? Uncheck. Permacontactcs? Uncheck. Pavlov, of course, had a bell. I have pain and suffering.
On the bright side, I'm really cute in my glasses.

b) Fall in Love
c) Drive to VT, IA, or MA and get hitched

A very cool guy who makes everyone laugh. Once you meet him, you will want to be his friend right away. He is super cute and very good-looking. He has amazing taste in music, clothes, food, everything. Every girl secretly wishes that he could be her boyfriend and everyone knows he likes commitment (and just broke up with his gf). However strange and weird he may be, he's perfect. In his own little way, he is perfect.
is done with work and enjoying the lovely weather.

I'm the director of DC Ashtanga, an ashtanga yoga school (often called a mysore program). It's easy to talk about money when you've got it (and especially what it'd be like if ya didn't), but (like always) Ru gets its.

I've been sharing Hatha Yoga techniques with the office of Housing and Urban Deveopment for almost eight years.
Their depth and skill grows, consistently. The staff changes, and there is always someone new. I love meeting people where they are (metaphorically and literally) and gesturing them towards better health of body, mind, spirit. I'm so enriched when the gesture becomes action and the action becomes ... Something greater.
I feel privileged to watch consciousness expand in unexpected places, with unsuspecting people.
Three things I've been told this week:
"I'm not scared anymore" "I was able to use what I learned during labor" "I didn't know I could do that."

My parents were small business owners. My wonderfully successful brother, too. It would be a real shame if locally owned, independent, SMALL businesses went under because of unscrupulous opportunists.
"Meanwhile, Trump has already sought to leverage the office of the presidency to pressure foreign governments to take actions that would improve his bottom line. Trump admitted that he asked a group of British politicians to kill a proposed wind farm he believed would mar the views at a golf course he owns in Scotland. He reportedly asked the president of Argentina to approve permits for a high-rise in Buenos Aires. (Trump denied the allegation, although his local partner announced the project was moving forward the next day.) Trump has also had his daughter Ivanka, who is supposedly managing his day-to-day business interests, sit in on meetings with heads of state.
Eisen views the current situation as dire. If Trump is permitted to be sworn in as president without selling his companies, he says, the country is facing a âwholesale oligarchic kleptocracy of a kind that we have never seen before in our history.â"

#fbf 7 years ago at pride, my plastic Starbucks cup fell off the fire escape and shattered. It landed next to a 10 year old who's Mom FREAKED out. I ended throwing something over my crop top so that I was decent enough to talk to the police. You'll note that one of the officers was wearing a cat mask. RIP cleverly disguised mint julep. Wearing lewks before the curve, living that barely 27 year old-ness on my sleeve. Literally had the kids shook. What else do you see?

I rely on mantra in so many different ways in my daily life, my yoga practice, and my teaching practice.
Regularly, the good Sis Britney is bringing me that patience and resolve to hold space in trying times:
Break it down, break it down, break it down
Break it down, break it down, break it down
This ain't no foolishness or fuckery
I'm handling my business (Business)
Holler if you hear me
Hey, can I get a witness
Preacher, preacher
I'm the teacher, you can learn
Watch your fingers, boy
You might get burned
If you've ever been to heaven, this is twice as nice. Break it down.

A PSA to digital content consumers and new creators: Please consider paying/charging for online content
All out-bound yoga teachers in Washington, D.C. are out of work until at least April. There will be no compensation. Most of us pay at least our own health insurance, rent, and phone bill.
For most, these are recurring monthly expense in excess of $1500, required for survivalâ and not including food.
Itâs been a tough go of things in my industry: this is the second time i am have been forcibly removed from the workforce (without reimbursement!) due to my status as a contract employee in 15 months. My job is to provide meditation and mindfulness training and classes as a wellness service to different federal agencies, non-profits, and endowments â there is no unemployment for the self employeed.
When I was out of work last year for the government furlough, there was no âback payââ just a sharp decrease in my pay for the 35 days the government shut down. As I said, unemployment doesnât cover contractors. With stocks plummeting and 401ks evaporating, many of us who âresponsible savedâ are watching our safety net shrink at exactly the time we shouldnât be touching it.
YOU CAN HELP!
The pivot to online training for your favorite wellness provider is not a hobbiest pivotâ itâs essential. Please consider reaching out to your favorite in-person provider and supporting them financially, digitally.
Iâve included my Patreon here:
https://www.patreon.com/yogawithmjh
To all of your who have already pledgedâ thank you! Iâm looking forward to sharing content with each of you. For the cost of one boutique fitness class, you can have access to all of the contentâ and for $10, you can get access to once class. Iâd sure love it if you wanted access to all of it 🙂

My job is to provide meditation and mindfulness training and classes as a wellness service to different federal agencies, non-profits, and endowments â there is no unemployment for the self employeed.
When I was out of work last year for the government furlough, there was no âback payââ just a sharp decrease in my pay for the 35 days the government shut down. As I said, unemployment doesnât cover contractors. With stocks plummeting and 401ks evaporating, many of us who âresponsible savedâ are watching our safety net shrink at exactly the time we shouldnât be touching it.
YOU CAN HELP!
The pivot to online training for your favorite wellness provider is not a hobbiest pivotâ itâs essential. Please consider reaching out to your favorite in-person provider and supporting them financially, digitally.

Need a serious project to take your mind
off things in self isolation? Want to go
back to work able to crank out a one-
armed pull-up, or do a handstand while
teetering on a chair? Beast Skills offers up
the toughest challenges on this list, but
breaks them down into entirely
manageable progressions, theoretically
allowing you to go from never-worked-
out-indolence to your first muscle-up in
... well, however long this all takes. If you
have got something suitable to hang them
from, this might be the time to invest in a
set of gymnastics rings - it will drastically
increase your options, and might improve
your shoulder health.

Mister Gates done been told us, yâall.
His footnote on how preparedness also helps create a more âjustâ society while also keeping the economy ~3 trillion dollars stronger maybe is more than a footnote.
I have made a pivot towards online offeringsâ but the question becomes more existential. As someone who functions as a manual therapist *and* a facilitator/ of an indigenous practice that changes the mind and body radically... is my vocation dispensable? My lifeâs work?
Surely notâ but we do need protecting.
And we done been known.

In September, Iâll be launching a 10-month integrative online Functional Ashtanga Training. We dive *deep* into functional anatomy, contextualized yoga humanities, and a collection of the most potent pranayama and meditation practices I have discovered in my 20 years of dedicated practice. Iâve spent two years developing this program, which includes 4 functional joint assessment for each participant (so you can measure your progress), 150+ 20 minute learning videos (Iâm still recording!), curated readings, and measured learning objectives (homework + quizzes). Of course, Iâll have office hours. Itâs capped very, very small for this first cohort, and costs 3,000â but Iâm gonna take 500 off if you sign up early. With a $500 deposit, Iâll offer a monthly payment plan for 10 months (with no upchargeâ gross).

Your friendly reminder about people in the health/fitness
industry. Three studios I taught at personally, no longer
physically exist. So if and when we "come back", it's not
actually that easy for me to just "jump back in". Oh... and
those studios you love? They may not be around when all is
said and done.
It's such a lose-lose situation for everyone and the lack of
help from Congress is laughable and while I've been lucky to
pivot for part of this pandemic, not everyone is so lucky.

BACK IN THE OFFICE LIKE
The Yoga Clubâs very first ad will be right here.
When I first started coming to DC, I would go to a little coffee house at 22nd and P (love to Soho!) to hang out, spending time reading all of my favorite (read: free + edgy) DC newspapersâ The Blade, the City Paper... and Pathways.
Each of these publications has struggled to stay in print over the last 10 years. I likely donât need to tell yâall about the rapidly changing face of mediaâ and how it has adversely impacted queer journalism, alt-newspapers, and trade-zines.
For yâall that havenât been here for 30 years, lemmie tell ya: Pathways is the OG DC natural living/holistic health trade publication. Last year, Pathways didnât have a print publication (due largely to the pandemic... and the changing landscape of readership).
One of the reasons i love DC so much is precisely because i was able to find my tribeâ and so much of that is due to publications like this. Who knew that the local publications i loved growing up Iâd eventually get to work with?
We went with Pathways first because itâs owned by my bestieâs bestieâ and you know I love family owned and friend-ran.
For 7 years, my yoga program, DC Ashtanga, was fiercely independent and grassroots â and while we remain firmly non-commercial, the Yoga Club (my new practice space) wants to help others find community while also supporting and elevating others in our community.
While DC ashtanga will remain a grassroots practice group (as it always has been), weâre now proudly in residence in our new home at theyoga.club, and it is a pro ledge to help Pathways relaunch in print, so that other little woo woo gays can find a copy... and a tribe.

In burnout cultures, people are
judged by the sacrifices they make.
Hobbies, vacations, and even family

penalize.
In healthy cultures, people are

The Paradox of the Yoga Flame
In this piece, I dive into the heart of yoga's transformative journey, examining the balance between the intensity of practice and the tranquility it nurtures. I challenge you to rethink what we truly seek from our yoga journey - is it the relentless pursuit of physical intensity or the quest for inner peace and harmony? Whether you're a long-time yogi or just starting out, this article offers a fresh perspective that resonates with practitioners at all stages. Discover insights that might just change the way you view your yoga practice."

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?

To the ashtanga yoga community: I’m cheering for you.
Ive recieved a lot of shame and pressure from my colleagues over the years about my open approach — an approach that is now considered the gold standard in circles that respect both the science of strength and conditioning and yoga as an indigenous insight practice.
Am I mad? No. I’m too busy being blessed.
Since my parents needed full-time care for a while (and my clientele has been largely in person) ive been busy. My book got backburnered for a few months. I want the world to have it.
Im so happy that people who dont have the same caretaking work that I have are available to usher in the conversations i want to be having. And I hope my little talking heads have been valuable to you guys. Sometimes my colleagues get a bit myopic and territorial. I’m appaled by that, especially since my approach dismantles that.
As the federal government’s yoga consultant, ive been busy. You get it.
Since i work with people in real life, these systems and processes I have refined over the last 10 years have been siloed. I want them out in the open.

WANNA BE AN ARTIST?
BETTER LEARN HOW TO MARKET YOURSELF.
WANNA BE A SCIENTIST?
YOU MUST PRESENT YOUR IDEAS IN A WAY THAT'S
MARKETABLE SO YOU CAN SECURE RESEARCH GRANTS.
WANT ANY ENTRY-LEVEL JOB ANYWHERE?
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF. SELL YOURSELF TO US.
WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT FROM THERE REST?
ALSO, THE WAY YOU NEED TO MARKET YOURSELF
IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING, LIKE FASHION TRENDS.
SO ACTUALLY, FASHION IS THE ONLY JOB LEFT.
