#introduction
chronically ill with severe LongCovid
I like art and I like going to museums
I studied and I'm passionate several languages, literature and linguistics. Currently mostly interested in Arabic.
I want a cat (or two)
neurodivergent (audhd)
I live in Brussels
gymnastics emoji: 
(floors, beam, bars, vault)
I have opinions about things
Anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, feminist, anti-racist, anti-ableist, climate activist, anarchist, acab.
Still learning about anarchy.
Being sick is lonely and boring, doctors are useless and sexist, politicians only care about the economy, and the pharmaceutical industry only cares about profits.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
The social part of social media
I use CW's for politics. I sometimes use CW's for LongCovid, but not always. I boost a lot, also without CW.
Let me know if I forget CW or alttext, or if you have remarks/requests.
Asking questions is always okay, I'll say when it's too private, no offence taken.
I edit posts to correct spelling or grammar, or to add hashtags, without explicitly stating it. For more substantial edits I'll always point out what changed.

it's really enraging what they're doing to Jordan Chiles. this is flat out racism.
fuck the IOC for what they’re doing to Jordan Chiles
@SocraticEthics Nothing above absolute zero temperature is perfect according to the Laws of #Thermodynamics. The #racism displayed by the #tennis umpire and #gymnastics judges towards #CocoGauff and #JordanChiles during the #OlympicGames in #Paris were the only flaw that I saw in an otherwise ‘Seine-sational’ #Olympics.
The bar has been set high for #LA28 !
those thin strips of cloth do so much with those bananas #gymnastics moves. geezus.

SERIOUSLY
am now obligated to get Céline Dion's complete French catalog.
it's her language. it is the French language. it is Céline Dion.
anything she sings in French immediately sounds more metal than her stuff in English.
i loves it. i needs it. precious. my precious.
it should be illegal to use either Adele or Céline Dion (especially if she is singing in French) for any #Olympics competition.
it's just not fair.
i forgot how ridiculously hard and impressive is gimnasia rítmica (rhythmic #gymnastics)
#TomBrady reflects on watching "the most #powerful #women I've ever seen" at #Olympics with his #daughter.
Brady and his youngest child Vivian, whom he shares with ex-wife #GiseleBundchen, were in the stands for several events including #womensdiving, #beachvolleyball and the individual #women's #gymnastics #finals, where the pair cheered on #SimoneBiles and the other #American #competitors.

I don't just take pictures and write crappy stories. I'm the head coach of a phenomenal competitive climbing team in Fairbanks, Alaska. In the summer, we train when the gym is closed in the morning, so we have the whole place to ourselves. They definitely had some fun this week! It's not hard to see how incredibly athletic they are, on or off the wall!

I love that the team’s #MentalHealth is just as important as their physical performance.
Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade didn't just win gold in the Olympic women's floor exercise yesterday. She won the admiration of her peers and rivals. As the 25-year-old took to the podium, silver medallist Simone Biles and bronze winner Jordan Chiles knelt on either side of her and bowed. “First, it was an all-Black podium, so that was super exciting for us,” Biles said. “But then Jordan was like, ‘Should we bow to her?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely.’ She is such an exciting gymnast to watch, and all the fans in the crowd cheering for her. It was just the right thing to do. She's a queen." Here's more from @time

#Gymnastics raised its minimum age to compete to 16 years of age.
Women gymnasts are older and stronger now and they've transformed the sport.
