If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

The road to fascism is paved with centrists screaming “he can’t do that because of the law”

I’m working on a starter pack for accounts of gymnastics orgs — NGBs, teams, leagues, and so on. For now there’s not very many, but I’m keeping an eye on things. Please let me know if you find any I’m missing! (This will not include athletes or media.)

A crucial Supreme Court in a swing state is on the line this year—heard this one before? Nope, we're not talking about Wisconsin. In November, Pennsylvania Democrats will defend their 5-2 majority when three incumbents are up for another 10-year term. A massive battle looms. Full details:

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

so Rutgers coach was placed on leave (here's link to article which I haven't been able to actually read b/c it keeps telling me to disable ad-blocker which I already DID ffs!) www.nj.com/rutgers/2025...

@fetterman.senate.gov - since your Philly & HBG Voicemails are full - VOTE NO on Hegseth!

what meets are you watching tonight #gymternet? I'll be focusing on Florida quad and Sprouts quad

Many of us have been fielding questions from trans folks and families filled with worry since the election. Advocates for Trans Equality created a Trans Survival Guide to help people navigate their options during this scary time. Please share widely. transequality.org/news/introdu...

The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Please share for those who are impacted by the fires in Los Angeles who have animals🙏

You already know states like Texas and Oklahoma are pushing Christian Nationalism. But even blue states have a lot of work to do. @atheists.org just released their "State of the Secular States" report and it's SO DETAILED about how far we are from where we ought to be. states.atheists.org

The image reads: "The first transgender suicide hotline is now up and running in the U.S. You can reach Trans Life at 877-565-8860" Looking at the website, it seems that Trans Life offers a broad range of resources in addition to the hotline, and is worth a look if only to learn what's available.

LSU: Annie Beard (Jr.) - Removed from roster

please stop suggesting I solve my problem by changing my behavior. I do not want to do that

Bring back three pass routines you cowards

At least for the moment national publications are radically understating the contents of Matthew Livelsberger's political minifestos which call for a violent, militia-backed "culling" of Dems from and national rebirth of masculinity under the rule of Trump ... talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-a...

This obituary of Agnes Keleti, Holocaust survivor and Olympic medalist in gymnastics, is the best thing I've read this year. (Gift link) wapo.st/3W3j43i

one of my #fantasygym teams has a total of 7 people on teams competing this weekend 😒

This entire column makes me outrageously happy and proud. I’ve been following Simone since she was 12 years old and I saw a video of her doing a laid out double double into a pit (at the time, no one had competed one). She’s now 29, and even more incredible. www.si.com/sportsperson...

Yes, the cashier at Target should be able to afford rent, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

Record national champion Elisabeth Seitz is the first active German gymnast to call for a reappraisal of abuse allegations at the Stuttgart training centre and for change in the sport. www.yahoo.com/news/somethi...

It's funny that nowadays any really serious hobby eventually leads to you using and mastering spreadsheets.

If the Depp-Heard fiasco didn't, the Blake Lively smear campaign should drive home an important media literacy lesson that I'm afraid many are missing: when it seems like everybody is suddenly talking about something, consider the possibility that the viral moment was engineered.

Get a library card even if you're not planning to use it. It impacts their funding.

If we want to get the #gymternet on board at #BlueSky we need to actually TALK about ACTUAL gymnastics! We need to engage too! #ncaagym season starts in about 2 weeks! #foodforthought

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

A friend described the current Democratic response to the political moment “bringing a strongly worded letter to a knife fight” and I can tell that’s one of those phrases that’s going to be sticking

LSU Gym 101 time!

HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio. Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

waiting on big10+ stream to start for Meet the Bruins... one thing i don't miss in the offseason is this stupid platform 🙄 #gymnastics #gymternet
