that part really stood out to me.

this show is my lifeline since I started watching at the end of 2024. I watch episodes of it every day to calm my anxiety lol. I'm so excited to watch your series and was delighted to see your name in the cast! Taskmaster is also in the encyclopedia now. 🥰 www.britannica.com/topic/Taskma...

it's been so fun to watch. I haven't been able to tune in as much throughout the week as I wanted, but every time I have, I've been entertained, and I loved the mixed 4s today especially.

we are emotional, precious.

there are two wolves inside of me, and one doesn't ever want to be perceived and the other is howling, "LOOK AT ME!"

How do I work through this unprecedented time I mutter to myself for the 20th time this year.

all the beautiful things in the world spinning on this beautiful world, all worth so much love and so much peace

many times, my Minnesotan dad who has lived in Texas since 1999 has watched the tournament or found a way to listen to it via online radio.

it's also sucking the air out of the room. if we don't flip governor, lt. gov., and attorney general, we're toast. but all I hear is about the Senate race.

I even see them in my neighborhood streets. it's so odd. it was like one day, all of a sudden I couldn't stop seeing them everywhere.

everything that's a
happening is the most everything is happening thing ever

gets me every time.

Gandalf's face when Frodo says, "I will take it." 😭

and then they're all like:
"you have my sword."
"and you have my bow."
"and my ax."
and omg this part. 😭
"Gondor will see it done."

this mission...quest...thing. 🥹

watching live TV because of the Olympics means seeing more Republican political ads (primary season in Texas), and these freaks live in a different world than I do. what are they talking about? I wish I could have faith that Texas voters would look at these weirdos and go, "huh? I don't think so."

I am in a glass case of emotion.

Italy team has been floundering a bit at the Slams lately, I feel like, but 0 wins? oof. Canada is what is shocking me the most, that and the USA looking good when I thought...it might be a reach to hope for medal contention.

don't apologize. there's a lot going on. I'm living for your Olympic newsletters. they are fantastic. any time they reach my inbox is a win for me.

We know they're shitheads.

They've told us their plan.

Either you believe in our plan or you believe in theirs.

Theirs didn't exist based on a single election, neither does ours.

Let's keep going. The only way out is through. ❤️

These people are shitheads today and they'll be shitheads in 9 months.

They control the levers of power and we're going to defeat them.

They're going to do whatever it takes to stop us, generally illegally, and we're going to win.

Then we're going to make them suffer.

That's the plan.

the pressure adults put on that kid... I literally texted a friend last week that I was worried about it because I remembered Nathan Chen and the spotlight on his quads and then that first Olympics... I wish we could be better about the pressure we put on kids.

a lot of this men's competition has made me sad. 😭

why don't more figure skaters do routines to Lord of the Rings. I am just asking questions.

what a game by USA. Homan looked pisssssed.

a thing I cry about: when a small business leaves their card/flyer at my door and I notice a mistake (I'm a copy editor), so then I start crying cause I think of how earnest they are and how hard they worked and how they're trying to make a living and they must be proud but there's this typo and 😭.

upsetting.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

ughhhhh. 😩 may it propel them even more for the free dance.

I was done for emotionally when I realized he had every flag of the Americas and then name-dropped them. we're talking Central, Caribbean, South...ALL OF IT.

ALL. OF. IT.

We’re gonna win they’re gonna lose

that halftime show made me so emotional. I can feel my body bursting with joy and at the beauty of the Latino community. I don't even think I am making sense, but oh my. thank you, Bad Bunny. a dazzle.
