It’s the best time of year- NCAA gymnastics time! I have 3 fantasy teams and season tickets to DU gymnastics. I am also prepared for outrageous scoring and absolutely terrible dance choreography. Let’s do this! #ncaagym

Wrapping up a year of books, which comforted me during a chaotic year. A mix of 🎧 and traditional 📕 formats, some highlights below 🧵

Needed some jazz vinyl tonight! A great pressing by Craft recordings

Some terrible iPhone camera work here, but getting to see an aurora is pretty spectacular! #cowx (from Louisville, CO)

Let me make this very clear: Being sarcastic about sexual assault while also anti science, and scaring pregnant people into not appropriately treating their pain while simultaneously belittling the lives of autistic people is really a full encapsulation of this administration.

12 mile run, ending with an Oktoberfest beer 🍺 Colorado is looking beautiful today!

Denver gymnastics has assembled one of the strongest and most interesting coaching staff in #ncaagym. Excited to see how their upcoming seasons unfold- does anyone know who coaches vault on their staff?

EMILY INFELD!!!!!!! That was incredible. She wins the 10,000m at the USATF Outdoor Championships. What a story.

Sundays! #jazzvinyl

View from my run in Louisville, CO today 😍

A timeline vacation cleanse, proving I do more than work and watch gymnastics!

On a bus in Denver and our driver just took an extra 15-minute, non-planned loop around the medical campus and then used some brute force to drive over construction cones. Feels representative of how life is going right now.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Not every vault is a 9.8-9.85 judges! #ncaagym

My hair has officially given in to the TX humidity.

😂💀

This strange parachute drop goody bag feels a bit like Hunger Games 😂 #ncaagym

Mizzou! The kind of excellence and chaos I’m here for! #ncaagym

The Oklahoma Sooners redeem themselves a year after catastrophe, and it's MISSOURI taking down FLORIDA by a tenth to advance to the Tigers' FIRST-EVER NCAA finals appearance! Beam queen Helen Hu delivered a 9.9875 in the final spot to book the Tigers' ticket to the Four on the Floor! #NCAAgym

At the mothership #ncaagym

Watching #ncaagym and Denver has looked the most confident and prepared at this regionals meet. And relaxed! Nice to see, let’s keep this going.

Time to speak up

So much stress this week. So tonight calls for a gin and tonic, pho, and fantasy gymnastics.

Last home meet of the season for Denver gymnastics! Bittersweet to see our seniors/graduate students for the last time in Magness arena. Bella’s beautiful dance on floor will be missed 😢 #ncaagym

Michelle Obama: Kids should have nutritious meals. The pro-life party: This is an outrage! RFK Jr: Kids should have measles, mumps, and polio. The pro-life party: Yes, king! Tell it like it is!

Just turned #ncaagym on to see Sloane Blakely go down, noooooooooo

A helpful thread on how grant indirect costs / overheads directly impact scientific infrastructure. It matters and slashing these funds will have dramatic effects on research progress and sustainability of current labs.

Oof, hoping the Denver gymnastics team has a mini retreat, some r&r, and some hugs. They’re having a rough year 🥴 #ncaagym

I feel like Denver gymnastics has an unexpected balance beam situation this year 😞 #ncaagym

Polar vortex in Colorado calls for intense amounts of sugar. Enter pecan cinnamon buns.

11-MINUTE PERSONAL BEST TO TAKE SECOND AT THE HOUSTON MARATHON IN 2:22:56‼️ No. 12 on the all-time U.S. list 🇺🇸 ✅ Lowers her own record for the fastest marathon by an American-born Black woman ✅ Gets under the 2025 World Championship qualifying standard for Tokyo ✅ Take a bow, Erika Kemp👑

2024 books! 35 total, mostly fiction, with non-fiction selected for my true crime book club. Highly recommend American Fire, The God of the Woods, and the Berry Pickers. Do not recommend Bad Summer People. I gave it 1 ⭐️, mostly to myself for finishing it 📚 💙 #booksky

Some updates from #ncaagym after watching Denver gymnastics intrasquad today! Highlights: 1. Mundell looks ready to go, beautiful bars work as always with the high flying tkatchev 2. Bella Mabanta’s beam is a vision. 3. Rorich did a punch front to standing tuck on beam. Beautifulllll, ? risk tho

December in Colorado 💯

Post-holiday vibes with the house lion

Thanksgiving! Always calm, alcohol reserves close by

#ncaa gym fans, Denver’s first meet in January (vs Michigan) will have ESPN coverage! Hopefully this broadcasting opp will continue, as Denver’s home meets have previously been limited to expensive/local/inaccessible viewing options. (Pic from Denver’s insta feed)

For the NCAA gymnastics fans out there, I have season tickets to Denver gymnastics meets, and will try to post updates (including Crimson and Gold intrasquad in December).

Good morning Bluesky community. Now I get to read about all the rights I’m losing and the rapid destruction of US healthcare in chronological order!
