Climate change is making extreme weather more deadly, but it doesn't have to. The time to prepare yourself and your community for smokey air, extreme heat, etc is now. 🔗 Climate change played a role in killing tens of thousands of people in 2023

what happens at sambo70 is unacceptable and likely not unique. what is unique is that it's been talked about publicly by many former athletes and the isu just... did nothing. this sport is failing girls and it's unacceptable.

**Here’s the thing: Nathan Chen is one of the greatest American athletes of our time and you do not at all have to be a figure skating fan to enjoy watching him. He competes tomorrow. He hasn’t lost in three years. He’s defending his world title. You’re wrong if you miss it.

Alysa being 16 and having the time of her life and also skating really well is what the others should be able to do but the sport, as it exists currently, does not allow for that and it’s everyone’s fault except the skaters but the buck stops with the ISU!
