Thought today would be a good day to bump this thread i wrote about the the role the Olympic Games have always played in upholding dominant social hierarchies and fomenting hypernationalism. The sanctity of the Olympic movement is a myth!

[Liney 🔪⛸️ @Lineycantdance]

First, you have to understand that the modern Olympic Games, founded by Pierre Baron de Coubertin and first held in 1896, from their inception were a tool for nationalistic fervor. The Olympics were inherently exclusionary, and their early history is inextricable from elitism.

ANYWAYS if you want to see the actual hockey to pairs skater pipeline watch jazmine desrochers and kieran thrasher. jazmine was a recreational skater and kieran was a hockey player who swore he hated figure skating…and now they’re junior world medalists!!

As always the push to exclude trans people (particularly trans women) from sports is manufactured outrage to fearmonger about trans people under the excuse of "protecting women"

Capitalism has existed for less than 1% of recorded history and we might literally destroy the planet under it, but it's the only system that "works" and we have to keep doing it forever

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

coming back to this, the bisexual woman with a bf hysteria is manufactured every year so that no one has to reckon with the queer people who are cops, who work for empire-aligned militaries, who work for arms manufacturers & who are conservative

Just old Hollywood things 🫨

Dona Drake was the bandleader of one of the most famous all-female swing bands under the name Rita Rio.

Very similar to the story of Ina Ray Hutton, another Black woman passing for white who lead an all-girl band in the 1930s, the Melodears.

[Sage @Sage_Simone]

The people yearn for a Dona Drake biopic.

A Black actress, who pretended to be Mexican so she could pass for white, and who also acted in brown face roles.

Old Hollywood was weird like that.

the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore because there’s barely any journalists left. 20% of Lebanon is now under Israeli occupation. 12 million people have been displaced in Sudan. Over 25 million people are facing acute hunger in Congo. Don’t stop talking.

ICE is not reformable. ICE is not retrainable. It must be abolished.

[Liney 🔪⛸️ @Lineycantdance]

I'm unclear when their relationship started. If they really did start dating in 2019, I do think that initial age gap is questionable. But, my best guess is they started dating around the time Marin deleted/limited comments on her IG posts. I think around 2020, not sure tho.

[Liney 🔪⛸️ @Lineycantdance]

Yes, they have both spoken about it over the years. Tbh, it's hard for me to make heads or tails of the timeline of their relationship, but I will do my best to compile the information I have gathered. Here is an abbreviated timeline, but I will explain in more depth below 🧵

[gal @compfig]

have they ever shared how they met and fell in love i’m so curious

[Liney 🔪⛸️ @Lineycantdance]

That's all I can gather about their relationship. The public information they've revealed has been pretty sparse so far, since they clearly wanted to keep it private, but I expect they will talk more openly about it now that they are skating together as an ice dance team.
