Fun fact: I had the Olympic record for 16 minutes. @katieledecky put in the work and threw down the heat after. But I’ll proceed to flex my 16 minutes.

In case anyone was wondering, moving into college is more stressful than swimming an Olympic final.

Ok officially 2 days of classes done. Blended in fairly successfully. Some classmates do know about the silver medal but the lesbian army on Twitter has remained on the down low.

I know swimming is competitive especially the Olympics but on the bus back to the village we all had a moment where athletes from 4 different countries were sharing links to watch the finals.

I was stalking my personal tumblr posts and I’m pretty sure this is from 2017. This makes me happy bc if I told 17 year old that she’s gonna have 11k fandom friends and that her ships would blow up she would literally cry. I’m crying now lol

The USA swimming social media team deserves hell for this post. I’ve cried enough for people this meet. Making me cry over DOGS on this page is cruel.
Everyone, meet Izzo. He is 10.5 years young and has been a licensed therapy dog for eight years. #SwimTrials24 will be Izzo's last event before retiring from therapy services, so we are naming him an honorary member of @TeamUSA❤️. Thank you for your service, Izzo. 13/10.

We all complain that swimming doesn’t get views outside of the Olympics. So I propose that Cody Simpson performs “Little Brown Eyes” in the ready room of the 100fly ft. A dancing Dressel. A little half time show if u will.

If u guys want something to laugh about, doping control came to my house at 6:20 am yesterday and kept ringing the doorbell and knocking the door. My house has experienced homeless people walking around pretty regularly so we called the cops. I called the cops on USADA.

1500m freestyle silver medalist Erica Sullivan: "I’m multicultural. I’m queer. I’m a lot of minorities. That’s what America is. To me, America is not about being a majority. It’s about having your own start.” @DaveSheinin.

I’m literally so tired of how often shows kill off their gay character after roping on a romance that fans enjoy. It’s a troupe that I’m kinda getting bored of.

1. She’s not an NCAA champion.2. Don’t misgender someone. That’s a low blow.3. What did the president have anything to do with our swim meet?. I don’t want to give this anymore attention because I truly believe this person is using a platform to spread hate but this is ridiculous.

People shouldn’t complain about being unable to complete in specific swim meets due to country regulations if they CHOOSE not to get vaxxed. Rules are rules, especially foreign countries who view Covid differently. It’s ur right to chose but that comes with consequences.
