my blog intro is like 3 years old, time for something new

‧₊˚✩ hi, my name is alaska

‧₊˚✩ i use she/they pronouns, don’t care abt my gender, (not agender) and i’m bi

‧₊˚✩ i’m chronically ill, currently diagnosed with POTs and ME/CFS. I post a lot about that on this blog because my other blogs are fandom related, and my illness takes up so much of my life

‧₊˚✩ I’m a figure skater, so if you have any questions about the sport (example; for writing fanfic purposes) I’m happy to try and help. I am strongly opinionated about the sport as well though lmao

‧₊˚✩ speaking of other blogs, here’s my F1/Motorsport blog, @alaskasracerambles, and here’s my mcyt blog @silver-laurels, where I mainly post about VSMP, Unstable Universe, and StateSMP

‧₊˚✩ i’m autistic, with F1 and Minecraft being my main special interests, but i love planes, figure skating, Antarctica, and history (anything from rome, to the russian revolution, to victorian fashion, to ww2), and project Hail Mary (I’d been waiting on the movie since the announcement don’t play w me abt astrophage)

‧₊˚✩ link to my ao3, I can’t write as much as I used to, but there’s everything from Countryhumans to CoD, to SMP stuff.

just your daily reminder that in his 9 minute apology he didn't apologise even once to shubble, stuart semple, or any indigenous community. why? because he's not sorry. he's sorry he got caught.

This isn't even a joke it's just what we do

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Well-to-do finance manager with tidy shoes: "Why hello, sweetheart. Can you say 'hi'? Aren't you cute. Are you on a trip with your mom?"

4 year old me: why must we do this

Fantastic old woman in the leopard print coat: "Why yes, my tooth IS real silver! Nobody ever asks me that. Do you like cats?"

4 year old me, suddenly paying attention: Finally, A Person Of Intellect

I know my heart rate is high when I get on tumblr and just start posting some bullshit

I cannot begin to stress how important Alysa Liu is to a sport like figure skating. This is a sport that is rife with abuse and that has silenced women and has forced them to do as they’re told in order to win medals. This is a sport where authoritative figures exercise an immense amount of control over athletes from their childhoods.

Alysa left the sport because of burn out. Because of what she went through. When she came back, she said that she’d skate to whatever music that she wanted. That she’d be in charge of her training schedule. That she’d be able to take a very active role in choreographing her programs and choosing her costumes. Her entire comeback has been about her taking authority over her career. She is in charge of her own career, as it should be. As it should always be.

And she is now the Olympic Champion. Her trajectory is proof that an athlete taking control of their training, of their joy, and of their competitive career is absolutely paramount to success in sport.

I should totally make a figure skating sideblog

[alaskas-space-project]

look Alyssa Liu is not my favourite figure skater of all time but I’ll be DEAD before I let some russobot slander her for ANYTHING. I would trade women doing quads for healthy happy skaters in a heartbeat. Why is this controversial.
