Neuro-spicy and (audio)bookish. Overstimulated af. Big on thrifting, gardening, and opting-out of capitalism at every opportunity. 🌈🌈🌈 I mostly post aerial content and the books I read because they bring me joy in this ever darkening reality.

I’m performing this weekend if you need a break from the horrors. Let me know if you want info on a free circus show in Rogers Park on Saturday. #aerialsilks #aerialarts #circusarts #chicago
I love when I can do an open split and look like a contortionist. Gravity is really doing me favors in this pose but, as usual, the camera angle is unfortunate. #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky
Still here, still doing silks while the world burns. If you’re in Chicago and looking for an adult or kids silks focused aerial class a new session of the classes I coach is about to start. #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky #chicago
I finally got the hang of this double belay. I’m normally not a fan of complicated wraps but this is pretty fun. #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky
Finally a bit of good news. Hands down my favorite insect.
After struggling over the last few years, experts say that fireflies are lighting up Chicago this summer. The small bugs seem to be thriving this season, thanks to a mild winter and wet spring.

More fireflies are lighting up Chicago this summer, experts say
After struggling over the last few years, the Chicago area's firefly population seems to be enjoying a "pretty good year," thanks to a milder winter and wetter spring.

I just finished lesson planning to teach my first ever aerial classes this weekend! I’m teaching an adult class, a kids class, and a caregiver/child class. I’m so excited! Hit me with your best coaching advice or something that your favorite coach does! #aerialsilks #aerialsrts
Oh it’s nothing, just my garden bringing me a bit of joy in the madness. #bloomscrolling #garden #butterfly
I am generally not centered in this spin but there are moments when I get there. And I’m definitely spinning faster than I was a few weeks ago. So I’m seeing progress and that is super rewarding. #aerialarts #aerialsilks #dancesky
I really like this new (to me) hip key roll up climb.

Did you exercise your fascist-fighting muscles today? #aerialarts #aerialsilks #dancesky #gymsky
Thanks! I needed something flashy to compliment the costume he picked out for himself!
I got to perform with my child for the first time last weekend one day after his 6th birthday. This was one of my favorite things I’ve ever done. We performed at an exhibition showcase and it was so much fun. He did an amazing job and was so brave! #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky
I learned this entrance to be called Dimitri! It’s still one of my favorite knee tangle variations. Gorgeous video!
Here’s a little split we worked on last night. It was really hard to to tell if I was actually in the split or not until I looked at the video. 🙃 #aerialsilks #aerialarts #dancesky #gymsky
It’s sloppy but it’s the start of a flare up. These look so amazing when others do them. I’m excited to continue working on them! #aerialarts #aerialsilks #dancesky #fitnesssky
Do you have spansets that you can loop in the bottom of your hoop and hold on to while you drill and condition this? That’s what helped me because you’re right, it’s scary!

I’m feeling very pleased that this robin chose my porch to raise her family. I wish I could get a better look to see how many eggs she’s got under there. #birds
Yesterday I spent some time repacking food for @fooddepository.bsky.social Chicago’s Food Bank. They’re a great organization providing food and working to end hunger in Chicago. Volunteer shifts are available every day if you’re looking for ways to contribute. Highly recommend! #chicago #volunteer
