It's been fascinating watching this season with my roommate (who didn't watch any of the first season). There's a lot of glimpses at moments/dynamics that she found interesting: in particular from a psychological and behavioral standpoint. A lot of the athletes featured clearly are looking for...

I understand Tom has a large undertaking to deal with, I just think he's not handling it well. At all. The load has my sympathy, but people still suffer. SO excited for Andrade, I hope this makes up (at least a little bit) for Rio. And Nina Derwael! Bummed for Suni having some wobbles (it...

For a second I was like....wut? Then I forgot about the men! My heart breaks for Simone. She wanted to do 2020 and be done. Also Tom should be fired- so many poor choices.

*Double post Yeah- this particular crop of gymnasts is just...an odd collective. So many young girls and a LOT need more seasoning and to upgrade skills. I think there's a lot of promise coming up, and I'm so excited for Jordan Chiles, but I feel like the natural flow of athlete growth got...

*Shortened quote tweet. MyKayla's form has gotten better than it was in 2016 (I have to thank her collegiate coaches for getting her to put two flippin' hands on the vault table FINALLY), but it's not always great. On vault, because her block isn't good (and yet better than before?), because...

A lot of it breaks my heart, because you wonder how things might have shaken out if Tokyo happened last year? How many athletes might have made it through (or never got a chance!) if things weren't pushed back an extra year. I'm glad Chellsie seems to enjoy still playing around and pushing...

No, but I have seen some of his videos (there's a Lindsey Ellis one where she consulted him...if you know, you know lol). Emily D. Baker- Law Nerds Unite!! She does a LARGE variety of legal reviews between pop culture and internet people among other things (Kimye, David Dobrik, FreeBritney...

Just popping in here quick to mention: I think a lot of people VASTLY overestimate what police can/can't do (or will/won't do) when it comes to things like rape, abuse, stalking, etc. I, unfortunately, have been in several situations where I've tried to report certain things I was SURE the...

I follow a law YT channel, and I'm very interested to submit this case to her as a question. In my mind, yes, but it depends on how the laws are laid out in different states.

I JUST saw a NYTimes article this morning about cheerlebrities (couldn't read it, since I of COURSE am over my monthly allotment). The initial bit seemed to point out how since cheerleading isn't under the NCAA, they can get around sponsorship restrictions that other athletes can't..so expect...

Mine was pretty quiet (although people felt WAY too comfortable making certain comments), and also I found the ballots somewhat confusing for first time voters/people unfamiliar with the different parties on our ballots. Made some people VERY frustrated! We also had one weird incident with a...

The problem with all this is that we are being very forcibly confronted with the fact that this moment/life isn't about all our personal comforts and risk-taking. Our actions are a ripple that push out WAY beyond our own immediate zone. Especially since so many people spread while...

Worked as an election poll worker for the first time! It's a really interesting experience, one I recommend trying once (although maybe not in a major election for your first go 'round). You really appreciate what it takes to make an election work and it gives you a TON of insight into how...

I love it- I also love her outlook (pushing yourself at a healthy pace, learning to listen to/respect your body and what it can handle, handling injury). I can't believe how well she's come back, and then it all breaks my heart thinking about what the Karolyis did to that whole 2004-2016 set...

That's the other part. Even if we're in a good place vaccine-wise and numbers have started dropping, so many people have been out of work for so long it'll take at least a few years for things to get back to how they were..less people in gyms willing/able to travel far and often.

NY State had this problem with the Orthodox communities and Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur. Now those areas (particularly ones trying to subvert social distancing) all have higher numbers. They're at 5% even though the rest of the state is at 1%.

Broadway is a close to 2 billion dollar business, and for that to remain closed is INCREDIBLY damaging. That's how serious this all still is. We'd go up like a powder keg- again. Virtual through the end of this season is incredibly likely (because even with a vaccine the number of doses won't...

Over Cuomo's dead body will a single event remotely in the magnitude of a cheer competition be held in NY for the next 6 months. Double for NYC. Heck, his GHOST would probably haunt any building screaming NEW YORK TOUGH and musing on the Boyfriend. My mom's team has managed to stay COVID-free...

Consistency is important- but I also don't blame people for being cautious. Who wants their school/sport/team to be 'the One' that gets it and people get sick or die? **Edit: My Mom's VB team is officially moving indoors but she's less than thrilled. Still surprised they've been ok for this long!

I am alive! I feel like every time I pop back I remind you all that I miss you terribly, and I still have my mug from the Secret Santa swap we did!!
