I am menstruating as we speak and it's not fun. That thing she said about some women and girls not having access to feminine products and how it impacts their life is so true. There are places in Africa for example where girls can't go to school because they don't have any pads or tampons to maintain hygiene so they can go to school and learn. Even women who are right here in America who are homeless and have to figure out how to cope because they can't get things either. I think we really take for granted how lucky we are.
Love you Mikaela!

She is The best skier on the world and of course , very clever women. Good luck Mikaela.
The way I like to think about sports is that it's not comedy or drama-- it's not scripted. It's the real "reality TV"-- in most respects it's less artificial than what we call "reality TV," or at least more honest about the fact that the competition is set up in a certain way and has rules and so forth. Once you look at it from that perspective, it helps get you as viewer out of the mindset of "these are actors performing for my entertainment" and more into the viewpoint of "these are people letting me in on an exciting thing that they're doing."
XKCD once described all sports commentary as "taking the outputs of a weighted random number generator and using them to build narratives," which I guess is just an innately human thing to do, but I think we can do better at making positive narratives without sacrificing any of the entertainment value.
great take 🔥
When the said interview came out I read reactions and one that stood out to me was a comment from a guy (!) saying menstruation is not really a topic of interest and there is enough information. He surely knows it all...
