This may be one of the most fascinating and attractive things I have ever seen. They IMPROVISED that?
Yes they did! God, I love Jack and Jill competitions, they are the coolest. They’re like the best part of a dance social (spontaneity; leaning into the lead-follow connection; the joy of dancing with different people and not just your choreography partner, so you get the same moves and steps with different style and feeling and nuance) but combined with the absolutely insane level of skill that you get when people have been dancing as amateurs and professionals for literal years.
Here’s another, one of my favorite dance videos online. Trendlyon Veal and Robert Royston are both West Coast Swing dancers, so there’s no crossover appeal, but look at them. LOOK AT THEM GO.
DAY SIX: Intersectionality There is more to a person’s life than just their orientation. How does being aspec interact with a character’s other identities and experiences, such as race or disability or religion? What’s the impact of a character’s aspec identity on their gender or other orientation labels? Today is a day for exploring the intersections of the aspec experience with other aspects of identity. Secondary prompts: Connection, Relief, Friendship
Theseprompts are optional, and we are open to any aspec content whether or not you stick to our suggestions!

Thinking about how the world is colored by our connections to other people. Small details in life that would mean nothing to us otherwise. For me, it’s things like how car haulers will always remind me of my grandfather, how papayas will always remind me of my high school best friend. I can’t help but think of my sister when I hear certain songs. Tulips are my favorite flower because they’re the reason for one of my first memories with my grandmother.
The people we know, have known, will know breathe life into our existence. The way we see the world is underpinned by the people in it with us. We’re not meant to do this alone. We were never meant to be in this alone
Fuck memes and placation I Need some real conversation Fuck the streets and demonstrations Been there felt like time wasting Need some real legislation Need to soul craft, need to combat opprayssion Always a risk, contract power you hating Rather be dead than afraid MLK Claim innocence thats a crime get it straight Screamin James Baldwin right out the gate Screaming Jay Hawkins determined our fate We all under a spell no genjutsu can break Maybe it’s balance we need Playing candy crush soaking in Adolph Reed Getting crucified for my beliefs We all wanna rush, criticize those who at ease Say they ain’t do enough, I just need to do less Complacency is still a threat Work smarter not harder the gest See past the headlines go straight for the chest Never gonna hold my breathe Never gonna hold my tongue Each generation so young Don’t know no better til the damage is done Going to war with some grace The risk of love is to hate
We feel strongly that great designs appear to be effortless. Objects of desire that function, while maintaining a state of comfort. Our design methodology translates proven and established classics into contemporary methods of making. This translation serves to invent a new identity for a familiar strategy.
For this project, we tackled the twisted-stick coat rack as a typology. Our first inclination was to melt and weld these sticks together. Though impractical, it would have been possible to purchase a tree and carve this object out as a solid. Instead we looked to five-axis milling as an operation to ensure three individual sticks could be carved efficiently, shipped efficiently, and still align precisely with mechanical fasteners. Clever spiraling fastener placement allows the single component to attach to itself, instead of requiring variation between the sticks. In doing so, we were faced with the challenge of producing the moment in the design we are most fond of—the belly buttons. These internalized nubs rhetorically call for the bolts. The three sticks wrap around each other in such a way that the bolts align with the neighboring parts, making the assembly a simple task that requires no instruction manual.

Hey beautiful souls just want you all to know it’s my birthday weekend, so I’ve taken it off from work but also readings. So please don’t think I’m ignoring you if you’ve not replied.
Yesterday was my birthday and I went with my sister and best friend to try the Sensory Deprivation Floatation Tank. I freaking loved it and would go every week if it wasn’t so expensive lol. I highly recommend if you’ve not been. If you want to feel truely out of your body and fully connected with your soul being this is for you! ✨
This was my tank, felt like climbing into my alien pod ship ready to set out back into the universe
I like to set goals on my birthday to work on for that year and this year I defo want to get out to do/see more in the world. Try new things and get out of my comfort zone a bit. Don’t get me wrong I loooooove my comfort zone. But I’m a life path 5 and I’m not living like it. I need to explore and be more adventurous, I’m ready to let go of fear… loosen my grip finger by finger, il get there!! ☺️
Reading for people teaches me so much, I see how we are not that different from each other. I see the same shift happening in me also happening in a lot of you. This is a very special time to be alive to be here on Earth and be these physical beings we are. Sometimes we just need to remember that alone. #gratitude
Sending love and light energy to all that took the time to read this, I hope you have a magical day xx ♀️✨♥️
