Climate change is making extreme weather more deadly, but it doesn't have to. The time to prepare yourself and your community for smokey air, extreme heat, etc is now.
🔗 Climate change played a role in killing tens of thousands of people in 2023
whoever asked kaitlin hawayek for a picture then whispered to her that she needed to lose weight at skate america should be banned from attending skating competitions I’m so mad
what happens at sambo70 is unacceptable and likely not unique. what is unique is that it's been talked about publicly by many former athletes and the isu just... did nothing. this sport is failing girls and it's unacceptable.
Typical Sui/Han interaction: Wenjing Sui was talking about the program in Chinese, Cong Han tried to help, and in Chinese, Sui said "no no, I can do it" and took the microphone back

The thing about a lot of the Epic population is that they think this city is a two year playground and they’re making it too expensive and I hate them but also at the same time they’re also being abused at work and I feel bad for them
Accidentally watched isis decapitate a journalist on here almost exactly ten years ago and I’m still on the ssri that got me out of that tailspin. I promise you will serve the movement better if you don’t destroy yourself
in fact i would even advise you against seeking out and watching videos of war crimes! it's bad for you! it isn't a moral obligation and it helps no one.
Dear recently fired, though highly skilled, twitter software engineers.
Please consider how a move to Madison, Wisconsin might be a nice fresh start for you and a critical intervention for your nation’s health.
Love,
Every Epic User
Everyone (rightly) was talking about little kids watching ladies and not wanting to skate but i hope they see the very reasonably aged pairs and wenjing (boss), cong (short), ashley (tall), Timothy (non-binary) and still see reason to learn to skate
This new boy on love island Australia said his biggest red flag was being too nonchalant so this other guy was like “what’s a chalant” and another confidently was like “oh it’s a vegetable”
one way to find out if someone is from madison is to say the word train and count the seconds it takes for someone narrow their eyes and curse scott walker
all of the skaters being like i was thirteen and sick and i couldn't take cold medicine and i powered through i know i'm supposed to be like wow amazing but instead i'm like can we not... figure out how to let them take cold medicine?
The 16 year old who spent the week hanging out with her friends, having the older team USA skaters take care of her hair and makeup and choreo, and eating noodles and ice cream is the real ladies champion
sorry but there’s zero chance that skating commentators on NBC are unaware of what goes on at sambo70. It’s been in the news for over two quads now and talking about it eteri like she’s a god and the ideal coach is unacceptable!
New Tough Love: A letter-writer had to leave a camping trip and go to a hotel during an air quality alert for health reasons. She asked her boyfriend to come with her. He refused. Now he says she abandoned him. Who’s in the right?
Bored during zamboni time? Mexican skater Donovan Carillo is in the next group. Making it to the Olympics is a huge accomplishment with all the odds against him. More small fed skaters need the same chance!
Ok I have done it. Nathan Chen is a generational talent & should be a household name for all American sports fans.

This is Hubert he is scared of a lot of things like the TV but he is very brave outside and likes to explore beyond his fence. He was supposed to be giant but then he stopped growing so I can carry him around. He is tolerated by his older brother.
The 4th is a bad holiday like morally but the way we celebrate — outside with neighbors eating and playing — is the ideal way to celebrate a holiday and we should do it more often for better reasons
Hello normal humans of Twitter, i know you’re tired of skating but it’s about to get WORSE. The loves of my life Wenjing Sui and Cong Han skate tomorrow and saturday. Stan them.
very interested to find out what happens to an incredibly toxic fandom after their god stops performing. do they find a new idol? stalk his retirement life? leave us alone or take out their grief on us?
For the evening crowd: The Anishinaabe tribes of

Hey uh so remember when we were talking about a USWNT Heels shirt? Thanks to

's opinions, I made one. Should we actually order these? Gauging interest via this signup sheet:
**Here’s the thing: Nathan Chen is one of the greatest American athletes of our time and you do not at all have to be a figure skating fan to enjoy watching him. He competes tomorrow. He hasn’t lost in three years. He’s defending his world title. You’re wrong if you miss it.
lining up to fight fanyus, Nikita defenders, four year fans, the Chinese pairs judge who robbed their own team, and Johnny and Tara on day two (2) of the Olympics
alysa has been saying for ages that she wants to go to school and skating is just a fun hobby idk why people are acting so dramatic about her retiring. not everyone has competitive drive or ambition and honestly it’s a very lovely way to live and y’all should try it
When you move to Dane county they actually do this thing where they drag you into a Culvers in the middle of the night and make you swear to vote in every election or they’ll poison your cheese supply
on its face wisconsin has this grand history of conservation (muir, leopold, etc) but if you actually read them, they were racist and in particular very dangerous to indigenous people and that should really be part of how we talk about them!
Wisconsin will be the center of a new passenger

coming in 2024, connecting Chicago to the Twin Cities with several stops along the way.
Would you use this service? Project info and public comment links can be found here:
If you had asked people who watched the last four years of us figure skating to pick the Olympic teams without nationals i bet 95% of us would have said the same thing
ok alright. i wrote about how subjectivity is a manipulative scam, why I'm becoming a conspiracy theorist and that current PCS judging is making me want to quit watching ladies skating
Alysa being 16 and having the time of her life and also skating really well is what the others should be able to do but the sport, as it exists currently, does not allow for that and it’s everyone’s fault except the skaters but the buck stops with the ISU!
I actually think this is probably the right thing to do but also if they can decide this they can easily decide to require thee coach speak and it says a lot that they have no interest in that
IOC spokesperson Mark Adams indicates that Kamila Valieva will not be required to speak to reporters at a news conference, even if she wins a (provisional) medal. "Very unlikely" she'll talk.
It will be a while until we hear her side of this story.
