Latest #introduction post (🧵 threaded for history)
I am a #spinner and #weaver -- primarily drop spindles and #AndeanBackstrap weaving. I'm also an "Adjunct" over at #FU #FranquemontUniversity where I support the work of #AbbysYarns in Peru.
I've been part of #SCA #Caid through #textiles #medieval #reenactment and #bardic
I'm on hiatus from teaching #FCBD (formerly ATS) #bellydance where I coined #ThisBodyThisDay and #NoPressureNoShame

When I was teaching #FCBD #bellydance, I found it was important to set two rules as my key mottos for students (and myself). The number two rule: #ThisBodyThisDay
You never need to apologize for having been sick or injured recently.
You never need to stress that you're no longer the young body you used to be.
Today THIS is the body you woke up with. THIS is the day you came to class.
Since then, I still must remember THIS is the body I woke up with. How shall I treat it today?
