Happy Yoga Month! Slow flow sped up! What you can’t really see at this speed is me falling over in Ardha Chandrasana. It’s a pose I avoid for anatomy reasons, so whenever I try it, falling happens. It’s part of the practice—avoiding, attempting, & falling. #yoga #fitspo #yogaeveryday #theyogapoet

Last year, I discovered the secret to happiness at work is wearing sneakers, so I’m starting Fall 2026 off right. #fall2026 #academia #highered

My mom & I finished RuPaul’s #dragrace yesterday & her first text to me today was “Hooray Mykonos Meeks!” And then, she UNsent it & I don’t know what’s more amazing— Her favorite show being Drag Race or her knowing how to unsend a text. #ILOVEMYMOMSOMUCH
