What a loss.

It's really happening! I'm heading back to yoga studio teaching next month. Here are half of my fellow teachers 🧘🏼‍♀️

I'm doing it! Starting later this Fall, I'm teaching Baptiste Power yoga at a new studio nearby. Dust off the bandana, baby! IFKYK

NGL, I don't like "Yoga and ..." gimmicks. Yoga and goats, yoga and chocolate, yoga and and and and ..... but I understand it's a way to get people in the door. It's unfortunate that teachers need to come up with the gimmicks. I draw the line at Yoga and Wine. This is unsettling.

Well, I did it. I sent in an application to teach at a new yoga studio. It's been 10 years since I've taught in a studio and I miss it terribly.

Imagine being a science professor and thinking the threat to the university is coming from humanities disciplines rather than fascists.

I was having extreme difficulty getting back into beast work-mode after some vacation & family time. ADHD + being relaxed = very little intrinsic motivation. Today I was hit with an anxiety jolt abt big work task I didn't know about. Now I'm 😳 Sadly, I need anxiety for work motivation 🙃

He would have had a better chance at getting away if a) he was further away when he launched it (would have had more force too), and b) the car didn't block his get-away. I need to watch this another 20+ times for more analysis ....

Today I spoke to a student w. a green card who was worried about that documentary had "political content" because of what's happened to student activists at Columbia etc. The subject? Life in a particular Jersey City neighbourhood. Chilling effect is real 😩 @academic-chatter.bsky.social #academicsky

I think about Tyler on the Carnival Cruise multiple times a week

This is my summer vibe. I’m detoxing from a stressful Spring term ❤️

I went to my first public yoga class since March 13, 2020. I was very nervous because I haven’t done a teacher-led class for a while. Just like riding a bike. My body was like “where have you been?” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥲🥲🥲 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️

One of my latest publications:

Happy Juneteenth!

I'm dying. One thing Americans already know about Toronto is Rob Ford. On Netflix as of today.

You want next steps? Create them, preferably with others💜

Well, we've white girlbossed our way here again 😩 FWIW, every person who showed up to canvass at Baraka HQ in my town yesterday was a Black woman over 40, including several who are from a local, over 40yr old Double Dutch rec group. And yet again, Dem voters chose ... this ...

In ‘We Tried to Tell Y’All,’ Black Twitter is a case study in digital resistance Meredith D. Clark says the social media platform was ‘a collective intervention on mainstream media narratives about Black life in America in the early 21st century.’ theemancipator.org/2025/06/05/t...

I love to push a button and receive a pellet. A delicious treat for me? Might as well push it again. If it gives me a small electric shock once in a while, well, that's just the cost of doing business

Just 🔥🔥🔥🔥 A manifesto for our times!

Mother Earth did not spit you out to be subservient, docile, and without autonomy. Birthing bodies everywhere, HEED your right to be whole and free; we are people, and until we can see each other as such, we will never be able to honor our ancestors and protect the rights of our predecessors.

We are the daughters of the silenced and the slain. We owe it to them to keep up the fight and wake up. Reclaim your power. Speak the truth. Refuse for your womb to be reduced to nothing but the production of labor. Stand for your right to choose, to live, to thrive.

So, birthing bodies everywhere, come forth from your dwellings and heed this warning: we are and always have been under attack. The fallopian tubes and uteri that line the insides of our bodies have been ensnared in a trap laid out by the one percent.

The whole thread is amazing! In this manifesto, simmymg writes about repro justice through her experience with a SIDS death & child loss. She discovers one of her purposes is to use her voice and encourage others to re-think what motherhood means while one loses a child.

Read this whole dang thread too!! In this manifesto, Hend talks about the intersections between pregnancy/maternal health and $ access to care, as routed through other systems of oppression. 💡💡

@jennifermusial.bsky.social #njcurj Regardless of one's financial situation, insurance coverage, or immigration status, we require **universal prenatal and postpartum care**. Everybody has the right to give birth in a dignified and safe manner. #BirthJustice

Just read the whole dang manifesto thread! Here, Amber makes the connection between trans and reproductive bodies that are controlled and (attempted to) 'made normative' by medical providers undergirded by other systems of power.

#njcurj it is not enough to just demand safety and care for trans lives, as those come within the framework of power. who decides what's safe and what's caring? trans liberation will only happen with trans people at the helm, and importantly, trans people who don't all look the same-

#njcurj like other forms of reproductive justice, the ability to reproduce queerness and "non-normativity" is of concern to all of us. the devaluing of trans knowledge is representative of the continuing practice of solidifying power over bodies.

#njcurj medical professionals are thus established as the stewards of gender, and trans knowledge is devalued. like any conflict in reproductive justice, this issue is interconnected to others- capitalism, gender, colonialism, etc., and cannot be “fixed” without also addressing those issues.

#njcurj medical power over trans bodies, for the system of patriarchy, is necessary to enforce reproductive injustice- by way of limiting who is “permitted” to be trans. ideally, within patriarchal logics, transness would not exist period, as it threatens the system’s core tenets of gendered power.

Tag yourself lol For the most part, I'm still beholden to the witty: direct kind of title

We leave the generations to fix the earth when we have the time to do that. I don’t say this to sway your opinion on having kids because I, too, have hope for the future, but to ensure we have a future to fix, we have to start now.#NJCURJ

This morning's earworm. Why did I used to sing this song when I was a kid?!?!??! 🫠 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXMr...

If you're an academic, can you call yourself a thought leader? Isn't our job - by definition - to have thoughts? I'm confused.

Watch new documentaries for free! www.docnyc.net/spring-showc...

#njcurj With so many people bearing the burden of forced births, medical racism, or generational loss, it is impossible to divorce reproductive justice from pain. Justice entails paying attention, keeping in mind, and turning suffering into defense.

#njcurj Reproductive oppression occurs when legislation, poverty, or racism prevent people from accessing reproductive care. Systemic violence occurs when people are denied authority over their bodies.

📌📌📌📌 PIN THIS SKEET!!! 📌📌📌📌

I love that skedaddle is making a comeback. Do the people know that it means to leave? I feel like skedaddle is being confused with lollygagging or another word that means messing about.

#njcurj Companies that contaminate water with poisons that cause birth deformities are exempt from penalties under fetal injury legislation, yet pregnant women who miscarry can be imprisoned. Provide a rational explanation!!

It's April Fools Day - let the day pass. We're tired. We don't have the energy to decipher crappy pranks from real life.

This makes a compelling argument: AI might be the a leveler between R1 profs & those of us at teaching schools with no TA/RA support Other AI ethics aside, the crucial point is that there is a major disparity for professors who actually want to research. www.meltsintoair.org/chatgpt/the-...

We talked about these cases today in RJ. Check out these cases #njcurj
