Sebastian has been scandalizing polite society with his scientific theories of sexual inheritance. But there’s one small problem. They’re not his theories. They’re Violet’s.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

Congrats to @dieworkwear.bsky.social for getting the Amber Glenn Olympic Gold Medal Seal of Approval:

It's a once in a lifetime chance. They've spent, in most cases, dozens of years training for this, dedicating their lives to this moment, because the difference between gold and nothing may be a 1% difference.

There's nothing "extreme" about not wanting to lose a gold medal because you had a cold.

I think I said this a while ago while arguing with people who said that bots can do law / medicine.

The difficulty in practice is not simply knowing the symptoms of a clinical presentation. It is understanding that you have to ask people questions to make sure you understand what is happening.

This really sucks because the sweet spot for skate sharpness is not directly after sharpening. They're just a little too grabby immediately after.

Let’s not erase Adam putting the ISU on the spot by doing a banned move despite the points penalty, in a sport decided by the narrowest of margins, and forcing the issue. Surya levels of metal!

Ilia doing the backflip is super fun! But he did wait until it was legalized to go there 😂. Less metal!

Surya Bonaly is a multi Olympian, world medalist, euros champion, and French national champion, and did it all during a time when #figureskating wasn’t exactly the friendliest to its skaters of color.

But sure, let’s reduce her to fake news about her doing a (really awesome) one footed backflip.

High schools all over New Hampshire have been having walk outs. *New Hampshire* ok? This generation is letting this radicalize them.
in their walkout speech, Nathalie told their classmates,

"We’re being dehumanized and there’s nothing we can really do about it because we’re high schoolers... Not only are our parents being hunted, taken and kidnapped, but it’s also our little siblings being used as bait and then being taken."
These are the high schoolers taking a stand against ICE: ‘You can’t let despair take over’
Thousands of students across the US have been walking out of their schools to protest ICE in their communities

There are some great threads going about how awful sugar plantations were.

I just want to add something as a historical romance author: every time you see someone adding a sugar cube to tea in a historical romance, think of those threads and the blood-soaked cost of the sugar.

first rule of whistle goblin club is that you just keep talking about giving away whistles
Today the crew of weirdo printers that I call the whistle goblins passed A HALF MILLION whistles printed and shipped. I wrote about how we got there and how you can start printing whistles yourself. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

So I think Ilia was trying to hard to play it safe in the first half of the skate, and then after he biffed the second Lutz, he kind of was like "well, can't skate clean so might as well skate hard" and got some of the mojo he usually has back.
