Anons be like "why do you take those non-heteronormative figure skating pairing (Gabi/Madi) posts of yours too seriously? why do you hate fun?"
Because this is the kind of stories we, fans of figure skating, have to listen every damn time:
"But the approach was such that the boy was a god and the girl was expendable"

your ambition outweighed your talent - has to be one of the hardest lines ever uttered . Like. it has a shakespearean/ grecian tragedy air about it, it's so timeless and chilling. who said that? dante? dostoevsky? wilde? st augustine? HOMER? no it was some australian guy who got mad at some italian guy over a bike race. this is why sports is sometimes okay.

Oh my god
Formula 1 fans need to understand Lance could have done nothing because everyone was too close and yes he crashed into Daniel, what the fuck should he have done? just clip through him?

seeing a lot of people being in shock that h*rner was at the rbr launch after his reported misconduct, need i remind you that this is the sport that allowed m*zepin to continue racing after video footage of him sexually assaulting someone came out. this sport doesn’t care about women and it never has.

the audacity of trying to claim that these men need justice for their careers when the venn diagram of "top footballers in europe" and "footballers credibly accused of abuse/sexual assault/rape" is basically a circle. meanwhile some of the women involved are literally dead

Imo Foxy is the only one who did her free agency right. What's the point of signing with a NWSL team when your spot is at risk the next time another team is created?
Picking and choosing what parts of players' contracts will be honored is honestly the dumbest thing ever. You signed a multi-year contract to stay at x team? Nope, sorry, you're being shipped across the country.
And sure, no-trade clauses seem like a great idea and all but this inherently puts newer/less famous players at a disadvantage. The NWSL's whole trading/drafting system completely hedges on the majority of players not having the ability to protect themselves
Free agency has never and will never be a real thing in the NWSL as long as teams have more power over their players than players do of themselves

tennis looks so fucking boring im sorry. cannot get on board with a sports event where there is no telling if it will end in one hour or five. and not only is there no telling but its also the most boring game to watch ever. so like you can rest assured that what you will be watching is just a ball travelling back and forth across a net but what you dont know is whether it will finish in time for you to get home for dinner or maybe your mother's birthday which is two and half weeks away

gosh okay if it's okay can i leave some extremely persistent brainyakus for babyyakus.... like obv you can just leave this or post or just share w whoever you want i'm just some dudegirl clanging pots and pans in your boxes but! i have always loved the idea of like...... baby yakumo being taught some form of sign language (Klein Sign if u will allow the goofery) bc the mouth shapes and tongue movements of the spoken language are hard for him to grasp even with full immersion and support!!!! i also think he would have some anxiety actually using his voice bc Y'know. It's Yakumo. he does eventually become more comfortable with verbal speech ofc but oh my god i am losing my mind at (baby yakumo voice) pep-per......... once again thank you mxr requiodile for my god life. and truly what are pigs but big potatoes....... ONION OWWIES..........
my last spam i will leave u with is also! ever since i unlocked homecoming ssr yakumo and it's dropped that he made his own ceremonial clothing i became OBSESSED w the idea of grandma taking babkumo to The Crafting Circle of the village. maybe he needed a bit more immersion into human spaces before he started school so he's just cowering in grandmas lap while she's knitting and mending but slowly he starts just like wandering around, looking at all the things happening with all the crafters just letting this uncanny child gaze in wonder over all the comfort items and soft blankets and warm clothes being made. and then there's at least one giant ass loom and those things are HUGE and make a lot of clacking noises. babkumo inching closer to it but doing these big scared jumps every time it makes noise but he's just so O.O like this giant scary thing makes such nice things!!! he's been wrapped in scarves fresh off this thing!!! and then whoever is working the loom pushing the shuttle through and just patiently waiting for yakumo to very tentatively push it back toward them. tbh i don't even really think that's great weaving technique but idc we are socializing this yokai via fibers and stich-n-bitch. thank you again for the generosity and enthusiasm ;w;
i am leaving this here for everyone to see because i like it and i want to show it

From an interview with Alfa Romeo Sporting Director Beat Zehnder posted today (13 June 2023):
For me the most complete driver is Charles, just before Robert (Kubica). They are both incredible nerds. Enormously talented. Insanely ready to get involved in the technology, in the data. And actually only live motorsport 24 hours a day.
But as it shows - you have to be at the right place at the right time, as is often the case in life. You can be an incredible talent, you can be one of the best drivers, but if you are in the wrong car, it can happen that in your entire life you never become world champion.
Watch the full interview (in German/Swiss)

Skimblegus Family Time--Tumble takes after Asparagus more and more the older he gets, but Teazer takes after Skimble a lot more than people give her credit for. They're both these very bright, clever, and relentlessly cheerful cats who try to put a brave face on things and hide when they're not at their best. But when they crash, they crash hard; it became a bittersweet source of reconnection after she was free of Macavity, especially since Teazer didn't realize her dad ever had bad days. She can basically only stand to be around her dads, Tumble, and Mungojerrie on particularly awful days, and Skimble's learned more from Asparagus about how not to just pack those emotions away to worry about later. Plus, you know she's feeling better when she and Tumble can start picking at each other again.
I love it so much, and I love this little family <3
