@amberlysabeau Lmao this is my local rink and I have no idea why she would be here, the soi cast I understand being a midway point. I don’t think our rink is anything special it’s small but if she wants quietness though it’s a perfect place
I don't know how to post about this in a way that's sincere enough for today's internet audience, but Alsya Liu has genuinely inspired me as a 36-year-old non-figure skater to go after my dreams on my own terms and I'm really grateful for that.
not to be dramatic but finding and displaying joy--personal, unselfconscious joy, not performative joy--in your chosen hobby/creative outlet/sport is one of the rarest and most radical acts we can do in late stage capitalism
damn this hour must have really sucked for all the miserable jerks who say nobody wants to watch women’s sports because they never have iconic exciting moments like men’s do. anyways for me this hour was awesome
for Alysa Liu to have this photo, in this spot, making a comeback, while wearing gold, and then win the gold, makes this one of the greatest Olympic shots of all time.
