THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 ・・・ What if 2020 isn’t cancelled? . What if 2020 is the year we’ve been waiting for? . A year so uncomfortable so painful, so scary, so raw - that it finally forces us to grow. . A year that screams so loud, finally awakening us from our ignorant slumber. . A year we finally accept the need for change. . Declare change. Work for change. Become the change. . A year we finally band together instead of pushing each other further apart. . 2020 isn’t cancelled, but rather the most important year of them all. - @lesliedwight .

No doubt at the moment we are all in the same shit storm , BUT this we are all in the same boat thing is a crock of shit and harmful , we are all in different boats , some of us may be in old leaky boats that will find it difficult to weather the storm , people with addictions, marital problems, abuse , chronic illness , money worries , mental health issues , eating disorders , and many more things , some of us are in their boat alone , even when isolating with others , some of us will be glad to be in their own boat , others may be in a boat full of people and wish they weren’t , you may be in a fancy all singing all dancing yacht , but the storm can damage your boat and you need to jump ship to a smaller boat that won’t weather the storm as well . Know your privilege and don’t think this Virus situation is a leveller or We are all in the same boat , we are all in very different boats and our boats will change from time to time , if you can help plug holes in someone else’s boat do it , if you can throw them supplies do it ,if you can shout to them to tell them they are not alone and encourage them do it , sail alongside them if you can, but don’t insult people and dismiss their life experience by saying we are in the same boat , hold space for them and throw a lifeline if you can . #knowyourprivilege #notinthesameboat #covid_19 #coronavirus #bekind #bekindalways #helpifyoucan https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ZXaMTnxDs/?igshid=15pxsn0ly1rxr

Got back on my mat today for the first time in over a week and it felt soooo good. This practice is a privilege and I am lucky to have it and the community that comes with it. #practicemakesprogress #knowyourprivilege #yogaforeveryone #yogaeverydamnday #anoutwardmanifestation #aninwardjourney #choosejoy #jennycyoga #yogateacher #atxyoga #cpyinstayogi #balasana #childspose #attitudeofgraditude

The Power of Words

I have always been self-conscious of how I sound when I speak. Often I catch myself using different voices when talking with different people, as if my human nature is to adapt to the person I am talking to in order to fit into whatever environment I am in. Paul James Gee discusses this concept in his article ‘Teenagers in New Times: A New Literacy Studies Perspective’. I realize that I have many different social voices, which change depending on who I am around. These “social languages” are a large factor of how many young people I know identify themselves, and many examples that will soon be revealed come from a high school scene—the watering hole of teenagers where all social languages clash. Although I know if I were to be interviewed in the case study conducted by Gee, I would categorize myself as a member of the upper-middle class. When talking to someone who appears to be above me, I find my language becomes very clinical and ‘educated’ in order to impress. This can be due to the fact that I grew up in the working class and always aimed to climb higher. As stated by Gee, this is to appear to be apart of a “world of information, knowledge, argumentation, and achievements build out of these” (Gee 416). I have been conditioned to use this language with people I want to impress, such as my parents or an authority figure in my life. However in moments like these, sometimes the back of my mind tells me I’m trying to be what my culture believes to be the “perfect” person. I use language to make people think of me in a certain way, but I am not the perfect person. Language has always been a tool to distinguish one person from another, such as in modern capitalist societies. Societies have built themselves off languages, and those who are privileged and educated can speak more elegantly to class themselves higher above the lower-class. This is so ingrained into our society even still, and I find myself following suit often. My friends have always commented that my voice seems to change when I’m talking to older people. My language and tone of voice alter depending on who is listening, and even others pick up on it. My words are pronounced with more care; the words used are more extravagant. In the moment I do not realize the change but afterwards when I revert to my normal “easy-going” state with my friends I realize I am relaxing again. It is as if my body tensed up and polished myself when responding to an authority figure in order to gain respect. It is society who ingrained these character traits into me to tense up and become presentable, but these traits has also helped me be successful so far in life. What I gain from this reflection is to always be mindful and thankful of my successes, because they mostly occur because of the privileges I have in my life.

The current political reality TV show is a calculated attempt to derail us from focusing on social injustices. Fast forward the commercials of total nonsense. We need to get the orange devil et al. OUT of our mouths, and put #CaseyGoodson and COUNTLESS others back in it. #saytheirname ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #repost @michael.cuschieri ・・・ BLACK LIVES STILL MATTER. White friends, we have gotten lazy. We have gotten preoccupied. We have gotten tired. We have forgotten. In the midst of the holidays and the end of the semester, Black lives still matter. When it is no longer trending on social media, Black lives still matter. When you’re tired and just don’t feel like getting involved, Black lives still matter. Your silence is deadly. Your performative allyship is deadly. Your ignorance is deadly. And these are your choices. If you have chosen to be passive in the fight against racism, then you have chosen to be actively racist. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last Friday, 23 year-old Casey Goodson from Columbus, OH was murdered by while entering his home. He was walking in through his back door while holding his Subway sandwich in one hand and his keys in the other. He was shot three times in the back by a deputy whom he claimed he mistook for another suspect. Casey was not the suspect nor was he the focus of any investigation whatsoever. He was coming home from the dentist office, and now he’s dead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BlackLivesMatter #BlackLivesStillMatter #JusticeForCasey #JusticeForCaseyGoodson #NoJusticeNoPeace #BLACKLIVESMATTER #EndSystemicRacism #breonnaTaylor #RestructurePoliceFunds #EndPoliceViolence #WhitePrivilege #KnowYourPrivilege #AllBlackLivesMatter #sayhername #icantbreath #EndRacism (at The White House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIlsaaMhwcs/?igshid=jpb3fm1uh2z6
