Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Back at Magness to see Denver gymnastics with my mom!

This is somehow not surprising but also terribly unprecedented. Really feel for these gymnasts and wonder about the future of the program overall. #ncaagym

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

💯 Terrible but unsurprising situation.

More Hank Mobley tonight. With the house lion.

#jazz #vinyl

Everything is exhausting, so listening to some jazz on vinyl tonight to relax.

Spinning some Roll Call by Hank Mobley!

I’m not a fan of Utah gym, but not mad at that 10.0 vault for Avery Neff

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!

I just did screenshots

Goodreads “year in books” creates it!

Unpopular opinion I think, but books that received rave reviews that I thought were good but not amazing: Wild Dark Shore (Charlotte McConaghy) and the Bee Sting (Paul Murray)

And then my award for the worst book I’ve read in ages was Beautiful Ugly (Feeney), which was comically bad

#booksky

Non-fiction favorites were The Best Minds (Jonathan Rosen), Frostbite (Nicola Twilley) and the Challenger (Adam Higginbotham)

#booksky

My favorite fiction I read this year:
Nothing to See Here (Kevin Wilson)
Invisible Cities (Calvino)
Small Mercies (Dennis Lehane)

Also worth noting were The Wedding People (Alison Espach), The Other Valley (Scott Alexander Howard) and Bel Canto (Ann Patchett)

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.

Looks like Linas Gaveika is leaving Denver, based on his instagram post #ncaagym

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