Thoughts and prayers?? Sounds empathetic to me, isn't that a allegedly bad thing now? 🙃

AI feels like enterprise grade MadLibs (derogatory)

Also a fan of this video taken from this past Sunday for the July performances. Lots of fun 😁

Photos from June fire performance taken by James Deane. I do kinda wish I didn't got the swivels but I still love these poi

U.S. TRANS PEOPLE:

If you want to explore options for doing as I did and getting the fuck out of the United States, this site/org is a great place to start

(Any replies to this skeet that accuse trans people of "giving up" by fleeing fascism will result in automatic blocks 🙏)

The new ‘Bone Collector’ caterpillar wears the remains of its prey – and we have the footage to prove it | BBC Science Focus Magazine A newly discovered caterpillar species, dubbed the 'Bone Collector', has a macabre fashion sense to say the least.

Another new species for #InverteFest, a carnivorous, cannibalistic caterpillar that wears a suit of the corpses of their prey, meticulously stitched together.

Yeah, you read that right.

Been doing daily yoga for the last 2 weeks, just following 20-30 min YouTube videos.

I'm somehow shocked by how beneficial it's been 😅

I'm sleeping better, less sore, more flexible, just overall I have better energy. Every time I come back to regular yoga I realize how much I've missed doing it 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think of "big negative event" and justify hyper vigilance because "what if I can prevent it next time" but it's only ever a house of cards. The house doesn't get stronger, you just get better at building it

Even if that house is blown over, I'm still holding (mostly) all the cards to start again

Had a moment this weekend where I realized that I definitely over fixate on friends I've lost in big conflict and not friends I still have, or even just friends I've drifted away from.

My bias towards the negative outlook is so strong and I seem to rely on concrete negatives to justify this bias.

Who is this even for?

BREAKING: A federal judge finds Trump’s order banning transgender people from getting accurate passports is likely unconstitutional.

The court ordered the State Department to allow correct gender markers for our clients as we continue to argue until this order is blocked for everyone.

Heh, nice

My reaction to Mark Carney's answer re: a bad-faith question about trans people asked today after the federal leaders' debate. Video-taped because I didn't have the heart to transcribe it all down.

This is scary, y'all.

Trans people, please take good care </3

YouTube video by Aud Fire poi compilation (My 2024 performances)

Made a YouTube short of some of my fire performance clips from 2024

Kinda shocked by the fact that I spun fire at 2 outdoor events in 2023 and 14 events in 2024

Considering I only started learning in January 2023, this feels like good progress 💫

This doesn't rip 😔

I've watched so many of their videos and streams, @michaelburns.bsky.social is a great host, always appreciate how engaged with viewers and comments he's been. Appreciate Henry and Lux for helping to run everything.

Unreal that @wisecrackofficial.bsky.social has been killed off...

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Dropped these in a thread today and reflecting on them a bit more I kinda feel apt in saying:

1) AI is to learning what guitar hero is to joining a band

2) AI is Intellectual Property Drop Shipping

I technically spun poi rather terribly from 2007 to 2012 and tried fire poi in 2010 twice, both times I spun for less than 30 seconds, was streeessssed, and only did the few basics I knew (3-beat weaves, corkscrew, buzzsaw). When I came back to it in 2023 I felt entirely back to square one.

Some fire poi photos from 2024 that I think are pretty neat ✨

I almost look like I know what I'm doing. Weird that I only really jumped back into learning poi in January 2023.

YouTube video by Some More News Dear Donald Trump Voters: His Actions Are Going To Hurt You Too - SOME MORE NEWS

Hi. Donald Trump's relentless executive orders and illegal slashing of federal funding are already hurting Americans, including his own voters.

Anyway, a friend shared this pic of me spinning fire poi back in June. Think I need sleep... Or a fire jam 👀

Sleepy brain in full tilt - just saw a video of someone spinning fire poi and thought "how does someone even learn something like that?"

Light trails with poi at the clown rave 🤡💫

@darqchild.bsky.social shared some photos they got of me spinning fire poi

that moment when gender is definitely an unchangable biological truth so you have to enforce it via fascistic law

Screenshot of the transcript of Trump's inauguration speech which reads: The United States will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations, and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons. And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.

Ummm. How does it just keep getting worse? Why am I still reading it even?

Screenshot of a transcript of Trump's inauguration speech which reads: This week I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. We will forge a society that is colourblind and merit based. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.

Ah okay, found the anti-CRT/transphobic section... Good lord that's bleak, my heart goes out to my trans siblings in the US. Stay safe, stay with us, stay hopeful for a better day to come. 🧡
