Guest Editorial: PUTTING LOVE ON THE BALLOT

Reading Time: 5 minutes When I shook Marianne’s hand that afternoon in Greenville—a packed room of mostly women, women of all stripes—thanking her for putting love on the ballot, she replied, “Yes! It’s time to get radical with our love.” Radical, like love as an “essential existential fact.” Radical, like love is “our purpose on earth.” Radical, like your life depended on it!

Aiding Aging Parents

Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s not easy getting old, as the saying goes, and it can be even harder to watch your parents age.

Editorial: The Report is Coming…

Reading Time: 2 minutes This thing is going to land in the collective consciousness with a hard thud. All that resolution you’ve been waiting for is not likely to be delivered with the end of the investigation. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. In about 1000 ways this is where things get even dicier, more divisive, and significantly scarier for a lot of people. The day Mueller finishes will be the day the real battle for our country begins.

I am not saying this to stir up a lot of gloom and doom, fight or flight kind of fear mongering.

I am saying this because NOW IS THE TIME TO DOUBLE OR TRIPLE DOWN ON DOING THE THINGS THAT BRING YOU JOY.

Sleep more.
Drink your water.
Eat good food.
Laugh a lot if you can. 
Hug people.

Truer words: There can be 100 people in a room, and Lady Gaga will literally only talk about Bradley Cooper.

But because the Star Is Born fandom is a very thirsty place filled with people who want Gaga and Bradley’s onscreen love to be a reality, plenty of fans are wondering if there’s something ~more~ going on between them.

Tonic: Setu Yoga Has a Plan to Make Yoga Less Skinny and White

Reading Time: 2 minutes Setu, a yoga community built as a platform for “elevating practitioners with different body types, skin colors, gender identities, and life stories.” The site serves as a portal for people to check out and support teachers, as well as find classes, videos, and communities to join. Setu dropped a video this week to cement their message that yoga does not discriminate, and the people we see at the front of the yoga studio should reflect that.

So one more time for the people in the back: Yoga is for everyone. Let’s start teaching like it is.
