My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

He's produced on her albums, as 1/2 of the rascals, on her debut album and positions

Gal Gadot was a soldier in an army actively committing genocide/leading the world in murdering children, and she spews their genocidal propaganda every chance she gets. Rachel Zegler said "free Palestine." Guess which of them is being demonized!

broke my streak for like a week. getting this down to hold myself accountable for a new one

Thread: pollsters are asking inaccurate and at times deeply derogatory questions about Trump’s anti-trans policies.

This is producing results that create an appearance that a majority of Americans like what Trump is doing.

Here we go…

consistency: do it today so you'll do it tomorrow

a good rule of thumb is that any post that includes the phrase "this is what got us Trump," or some variation of such, is going to be bullshit unless it has a _fuckton_ of asterisks.

my twitter moots didn't make it over anyway

I do think it’s funny when the car companies are like “we may be divided but now more than ever, I think we can all agree: car ❤️”

I’ve been seeing that clip of Elon getting booed at Dave Chappelle’s show two years ago and what’s been sticking with me about isn’t just how utterly humiliating it is for Musk, but how absolutely embarrassing it is for Chappelle to think his big stadium audience would be excited to see Musk

roughly a month in, I'm still in the "show up and do something, anything" phase of my fitness journey but I'm really hoping it becomes fruitful in the future

naima akef's rendition of aziza was life changing. my favorite dancers are the ones who you can see music moving through even when the video is muted.

especially since we're committed to peace and civility on this app, this interest was too precious to me for me to bring onto my twitter page. cultivating a stan culture around it is the last thing I want to do

wondering if since most of my moots didn't make the move over here if I should just drop the stan format and make this a page where I gush about oriental dance

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:

the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

tfw most of my twitter mutuals haven't moved to this app so it became an outlet for me to remind myself to get off my ass

I gotta say I've been doing good exercising on a regular basis since picking it up after the holidays

consistency: do it today so you'll do it tomorrow

Im tired of comparing my untrim body to the possibilities of trim bodies actualized so if I wanna get rid of this habit I have to develop a workout habit!

probably bc early january is still "the holidays" and I have a "I'm on vacation I don't have to" mindset

the holidays were hard. so many mini vacations where I eat and don't work out. I keep losing streaks. somehow I found it easier to get some squats in at work?

going into 2025 with a two day streak may it not even be a thought by my birthday ❤️

kinda lost my workout streak in the days leading up to Christmas so let me put my attempt to pick it up before the new year out there

one of my favorite quote is “choose your hard” going to the gym is hard, but not having a healthy body is harder.

and that gets me up every time.

If I see one more person say "ballet is the foundation of all dance" I'm going to pop a vessel

my interest in the traditional music and dance that informs raqs sharqi has dulled my interest in 'fusion' belly dance but I still want to dance to other music.

so this is kind of the angle I'm coming into jazz from.

I already know this is not going to be the same journey.

you can't get toned in a week. but you can build a streak in that time. build those streaks then streak those streaks.

the execution of my "diy" christmas theme parallels my standards for cohesiveness on an album. I only really "handmade" two gifts, gathered some things I already own to repurpose as gifts, and purchased a few while getting crafty with the packaging for all of them.

so very lax.

going into 2025 with a streak started so I don't have to let myself down for my resolution
