Got moved into a higher level class which is kicking my ass in a good way. I was so excited to learn the “roll entry” for the beginning of this sequence that I kind of lost the rest of it. 😂 next time!

Happy 40th anniversary to a bona fide classic album that deserved a reissue especially in the U.S. (where it’s not even streaming because… record labels).

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Was very worried last week when I had to leave class with what I feared was a pulled muscle but I pinpointed the problem and do old PT exercises to help and last night class was great. Verrrry slowly getting back into trapeze shape. 💖

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

BIG: Kansas just rejected a ballot measure that would have required state Supreme Court justices to be elected rather than appointed by the governor — dealing another setback to Republicans trying to overturn a decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.

Rep. Thomas Massie has announced he'll introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, a bill to give state AGs, DAs, 'authorized state officers,' and victims the right to sue DOJ for "unlawfully withholding, redacting, delaying, concealing, removing, or failing to publish Epstein-related records."

Cheers to another trip around the sun. 💫 what a wild year 52 was—full of so much upheaval and what felt like “big stuff.” So much going on simultaneously still, but I was happy to get a little break today. (Also if all goes well I will be in my own space this time next week.) 🤞
