A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Heh, I thought this was an appropriate picture given the current IAM server issues!!! Anyway, enjoy today’s updates here — I’ve tried to post a little bit more than usual. I don’t have any news on the IAM server — the original builder hasn’t been able to source the issue either (at least not immediately) — but I have ordered parts to build a second machine tomorrow if it comes down to that. So no matter what, we’ll be back online this weekend.

Again, if you want to help out, please email pictures for BME to [email protected]! Pictures and stories are the fuel that keep BME alive!

    Shannon. Good luck with the server, man. I’d planned a rant about the state of medical literature regarding piercings but that will keep. I’ll still be pissed about it over the weekend and probably for some years to come.

    Time is always behind for me (I think!) but that makes sense seeing that I’m in Aussie.

    Good luck getting everything running Aokay. I wanted to contact you about offering some help with programming and dev for iam, but I think I’ll wait until things are a little less stressful on that side.

    Burning Angel (#3): The time is always ahead of me here too, and I live in the same time-zone as Shannon (and BME). Not even an hour away…

    Now why anyone would buy their clothing just so they can advertise for them confused me.

    But why someone would get a rather poor tattoo of a silly logo like that on their forearm is even beyond my level of possible comprehension.

    Burning Angel – I guess this blog is hosting somewhere out in the Atlantic, on BME’s raft-based home base?

  • Tethered in Time
    Some suspensions are planned down to the last detail—others arise suddenly, yet carry just as much meaning. For Kyle and Aly, what began as a spontaneous idea became a deeply symbolic expression of shared history and emotional connection. The number of hooks told a story… Read more: Tethered in Time
  • Held by Hooks, and Each Other
    Facilitators and practitioners—the very people who bring so many suspensions to life—often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities. Brenton and Brittany are one such example. Traveling all the way from Houston, TX, they came to the Ontario Suspension Convention not… Read more: Held by Hooks, and Each Other
  • When Tongue Piercings Meet Medicine
    In 2010, a German study was published involving subjects with tongue piercings. The tongue piercing was used as part of a device designed to relieve obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder affecting many individuals. Severely affected individuals may suffer from various long-term… Read more: When Tongue Piercings Meet Medicine
  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
  • A Nightbird’s Passage
    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
  • What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
