it's always winter here

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

Note to self re: writing

To remember, these days

the state of quad-jumping is fascinating bc there seems to be a weird pattern where you have to sacrifice one more common quad to do one less common quad. daniel grassl, one of the few skaters who can do a 4Lo, has never done a 4T in competition. shun sato, the only current japanese skater with a 4Lz, hasn't attempted a 4S since he was 16 years old. nikolaj memola can do both a 4F and a 4Lz, but not a 4T or a 4S. out of everyone who has done a 4Lo in the past two years (excluding russians), only ilia can also do a 4F. the average number of different quads someone at the top level can jump somehow evens out to about two either way. it's just that sometimes we have the gogolevs, who can jump 4T and 4S, and sometimes we have the memolas, who can jump 4F and 4Lz. quadg0d georg, who can jump all six different types of quads, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Massive world-dominating talent, iiiiitty-bitty common sense** :D

Hi ISU officials please name a single trans women currently competing at any country’s national level or at the international level okay now let’s name women skaters that have been sexually harassed, assaulted, or raped and skaters that have come out to speak about abuse from their coach’s. Okay now let’s compare those lists and decide what’s the real problem in this sport regarding female athletes wellbeing.

^Well THIS has really really serious meme potential somehow... :S

Not sure if this design is impressive or terrifying
