Ba hammers home the unending encroach of capitalism, framing corporations as a "cat" and discussing how "the chase is not a game to the mouse." Positioning corporations as colonialists who own the bodies and souls of their colonized workforce was an especial ly horrifying touch. It quickly unravels from there, as we learn the Monkey Meat Company is harvesting souls from the natives to make an energy drink. The book starts by giving the reader a tour of Monkey Meat Island as we follow Lug, the island's "caretaker" around. Ba takes us into the heart of the monkey meat company while absolutely savaging the dark heart of capitalism. This was an absolutely frenetic, bonkers book that really goes for the jugular in the most darkly comedic way. ![]()

When I started senior year at my new school, I wasn’t prepared to call him Mr. I had no idea that my happiness would remember its own bliss. I had no clue that his voice would make my hurts forget their own sorrow. I didn’t plan to stumble into Joe’s bar and have Daniel’s music stir up my emotions.

In the video below, we talk about our complementary approaches to keeping healthy.

The model populations that inspire the Gokhale Method (children, non-industrialized people, hunter-gatherers), run regularly. Running, for those able to do it, has a particular draw, since it is a natural activity and such an efficient way to get exercise in a busy world. It struck me that this could be a beneficial next step for Gokhale Method students who have overcome their pain and injuries. Danny and his assistant teachers were leading their students outdoors in Nature in an engaging and enjoyable activity. I first met Danny Dreyer, the founder of ChiRunning, in 2018 when we were both leading workshops at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Massachusetts. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments See me after class by meghan quinn![]() ![]() The young royal was 17 at the time, while her husband was 22.
