Thank you all for showing Language of Birds so much love 💚 @jelappano has such a gentle way of story telling that really influenced my image making for the book…I set out to create quiet moments that aimed to capture the warmth of Jon-Erik’s voice. This piece, in tandem with its sister spread, are two of my favorite quiet moments from the book. 🐦‍⬛

Comment STARS & we’ll send you instant access to the workshop! I used to hide my altar under my bed, and now we have a billboard for the Sacred Feminine in Times Square (going up this week!!!). For years I was one version with spiritual friends, and a pretend version of me everywhere else. But being two people is exhausting. Sacred women are everywhere. We need to stop hiding it. Here’s what I want you to know: I don’t believe that keeping who you really are separate from how you show up in your work is the way forward. Your birth chart can give you a fascinating map of your gifts, your mastery, what fuels you, how you’re designed to contribute, and even some of the places where work and money may move more naturally for you. Inside our workshop, Written in the Stars, we walk you through the six placements we look at for your gifts, mastery, purpose, work, money and contribution, all in under 2 hours. 🔮 Comment STARS (or DM us if you want it private) and we’ll send you the link!

Ariana Grande & Marcello Hernández – Dancing 101 (SNL, 2025) “Dancing 101” is one of the comedy sketches from Ariana Grande’s December 20, 2025, hosting appearance on Saturday Night Live. Starring alongside cast member Marcello Hernández, Grande plays an overconfident dance instructor leading a class in which ordinary thoughts and everyday experiences are expressed through increasingly ridiculous choreography. The sketch turns a simple dance lesson into absurdist comedy, giving both performers plenty of room to combine physical humor with deliberately exaggerated confidence. What makes the sketch particularly entertaining is the contrast between the instructors’ serious presentation and the sheer ridiculousness of their lessons. Grande’s expressive delivery and Hernández’s energetic performance create a playful dynamic, while the increasingly unconventional movements push the premise into wonderfully chaotic territory. As the scene unfolds, their attempts to maintain professional composure become part of the joke, making the moments when the performers struggle to keep straight faces even more amusing. The sketch also highlights Grande’s versatility as an entertainer. Already known for her vocal ability, musical performances and work in films such as Wicked, she brings a strong sense of timing and physical comedy to the live sketch-comedy format. Her appearance alongside Hernández demonstrates the kind of playful unpredictability that makes Saturday Night Live memorable: familiar performers stepping into ridiculous situations and committing to the joke. “Dancing 101” is a fun reminder that sometimes the best comedy happens when everyone takes something completely absurd far too seriously. #ArianaGrande #Dancing101 #SNL #MarcelloHernandez #ComedySketch
