Yoga with Adriene

[craner]

He freaked out. It was like I'd asked for his address and said, "we're all coming around" or something.

 

[luka]

Yes it's very very strange.

 

[luka]

i respect his boundaries of course and because I know where they are I can keep prodding them for my own entertainment

 

[yyaldrin]

[luka]

Name-Edward (he hasn't admitted to this but I think his name is Edward)
Gender-boy
Sexuality-none
Residence-the north of England
Job-none
Ambitions-none
Hopes-none

 

[constant escape]

As in his nanowrimo dramatization, he only appears decisively and fleetingly. Our profiles on him are based on ephemeral data.

 

[luka]

He only ever communicates via links to articles and tweets

 

[craner]

His mother is hot.

 

[luka]

Like Bill's mum in the film Bill & Ted

I don't trust Adrienne

 

[version]

"She became everyone’s best friend during lockdown with her hugely successful Yoga with Adriene videos. So how did the calmest woman in wellness reach burnout?"

 

[luka]

you always got the sense she was quite brittle. barely coping.

 

[luka]

i think basically being a goodie goodie is terribly exhausting

 

[version]

The yoga guru is very aware that, in the west, yoga is a wealthy white woman’s space. “We need to do better,” she keeps saying.

 

[luka]

poor thing

 

[version]

Nobody ever really says what they actually mean by "do better". You just have to acknowledge the idea.

 

[luka]

when really you should be going, look, fuck off, im already doing my best i dont care what anyone has to say youre all vultures

 

[version]

Wonder whether people have actually said anything like that to her or whether she's just internalised the panopticon simply by being online. Probably both.

 

[luka]

im sure people have said it, maybe not to her but definitely about her

 

[luka]

if youre trying to do something like that people will always try and kick your sandcastle down just cos youre trying to say
you can pull yourself up a bit, you can improve it a little bit.... everyone will want to try and prove you wrong and do a shit
in your mouth
