hello again and a note (from ethan)

hi everyone. just a quick check in because blogs are antiquated and weird. please post your experiments as "posts" so then we can also include images and video if you'd like and be able to comment on each others posts and things like that. 

 some loose instructions for doing that: 
1. respond to the email invitation and make an author profile. 
2. go to blogspot.com or blogger.com (they will go to the same place) and make sure you're signed in and that it says "mystic bodies//body politic" on the top of the left hand menu 
3. click "new post" just below that and create a post! 
4. then go back to the view the blog itself, either by typing in mysticbodies.blogspot.com or by clicking "view blog" at the bottom of the menu on the left, to see other people's posts and comment and things like that. 

 does that make sense? give it your best shot? if making a post doesn't work, you can also comment on existing posts and things can get weird and we can figure it out.

Practice #2 (from julia)

Day 1 I play the music loud and I dance Day 2 I listen to the music riding a bike Day 3 I listen the music in the airport. 10 hours plane. Day 4 The film premiere. After party: roda de samba. And there the ritual happens. Day 5. Recording the performance. But how to perform a ritual that only happens in relation to others? https://vimeo.com/758533342 password: bodypolitics

thinking with victor (attempts at an ancestral practice)

Sorry for the late post. My body really got the better of me these last two weeks.  Sometime this past spring, my therapist and I were talking about (my) internalized ableism and how it is that I came to know disability and what it means to be disabled. “Who have been your examples of disability?,” she asked me, or some question like that. This led me to think about several family members (including my mother and my mother’s brother, my uncle, both of whom have the same autoimmune disease as me). Then a few months later, I came to think about Victor. Victor was my cousin. He had been born with sickle cell anemia. He eventually died of complications in early 2000. He was 32 years old at the time. I was 7, just a month away from my 8th birthday. I felt tremendous guilt when I eventually thought of Victor and realized that it had taken me so long to think of him, that I had forgotten to think of him, that I had forgotten him in relation to this important, emerging part of my life.
