june 17 2021 stylish muscling
dear reader, welcome to a special edition of first quarter moon slush, a newsletter i started in 2018. in late-2020 editions, i wrote about dancing outside, running and biking, and floating atop snow. in 2021, i’ve been questioning my relationship to xtreme sports, including dancing in the wind, ice skating, and weight lifting. this recent slushee era has been definitively meta and self-indulgently self-refer- ential. it’s also been curious to indicate, if vaguely , what other themes these modes of embodi- ment might suggest—from the urgency for enliven- ing sensation—in these uncertain times—to cycles of grief.
