Most people live in autopilot.
They live the same pattern daily for decades.
Disrupt your patterns. Never stop learning. Build relationships with people who have emotional depth.
Let other people sleepwalk through life.
You were meant to wake up.

Skating fans: Please follow along all weekend, and if you are able, read my stories. If you want more mainstream coverage to return, showing papers that you value the coverage that exists is key. (continued)

"This fight is not about sports. It’s about erasing and excluding trans people from participation in all aspects of public life... and, in the process, causing great harm some of the most vulnerable young people in our country." -@TheChrisMosier 🏳️⚧️thenation.com/article/societ…

History maker.
With their performance in the pairs' short program, Timothy LeDuc is the first publicly out non-binary athlete to compete at a #WinterOlympics.

Hawayek/Baker in the mixed zone on “typical” program themes: Love can take so many forms other than romantic love. There’s family love, there’s love for your partner, there are just so many ways you can portray it #Beijing2022 #figureskating

Figure skating in the U.S. is now plainly an Asian American sport.
We spoke to generations of skaters — from Tiffany Chin to Kristi Yamaguchi to Nathan Chen and his 2022 Olympic teammates — to understand the path to this point, and what it means: nytimes.com/2022/02/08/sport…

Seeing a lot of headlines for Olympic athletes who don’t medal as “fails to…”
Okay I get it. Word counts matter. But word choice matters too.
Not a single one of these athletes is a failure and I will die on that hill. – at Beijing, People's Republic of China

Queerness isn't (just) a sexuality; it's an orientation toward the world and one another.

IT’S THEIR YEAR!!!
"Very Peri," a periwinkle blue that "displays a spritely, joyous attitude" is the @Pantone Color Institute's color of the year.
@WGSN said "Orchid Flower," a deep magenta that "creates a sense of positivity and escapism," will define 2022.

It’s moments like this when it’s so very important to have active allyship. And active allyship comes in public and private forms.
Calling non-binary people like Timothy LeDuc “freaks” (or whatever the proper translation from Russian of the word used is) is unacceptable

I was trying to tweet this last night and fell asleep with my phone in my hand.
Just generally so stoked for the queer representation on the US figure skating team at #Beijing2022. It’s going to mean so much for the people out there who don’t think they belong
Jimmy Morgan retweeted
For anyone who hasn’t followed her story. She is a former Olympian who has battled an eating disorder and depression and came back to skate a clean free program last night. That’s strength and courage.
GRACIE GOLD ✨
The crowd is on their feet after an incredible short program performance by @GraceEGold.

More into nonfiction than fiction? This week, Librarian Laura recommends checking out On Top of Glass by @KarinaMantras! bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/rec…

This #TransAwarenessWeek, we need to move beyond awareness to action. The trans community, and particularly Black trans women, are facing the highest levels of violence in history. 10 states have banned trans youth from playing the sports they love. (1/4)

Love this because yeah, skaters don't need to hear this question so much. They need a chance to live in the moment as they learn. As a skater parent, I get this question more times than I can count, too.
