Thawing the American Ice Princess The fantasy of the flawless ice princess has long constrained women in figure skating, writes Jasmine Wynn.

My latest piece, in TIME, critiques the insidious microscope female athletes are put under, and especially in Olympic women's figure skating.

Female figure skaters are far more than "ice princesses." They are people, too.

omg welcome to following the sport it is crazy and a lot ⛸️

I'm a figure skater. It's not too late to save Olympic ice sports. As the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan approach, I have to admit: Figure skating, like other Olympic ice sports, is unsustainable in tis current form.

Thank you! And sadly yes, most still do. Although this is steadily changing esp after the Beijing Games

Hi all!!! In my latest piece, written for @usatoday.com, I talk about the sustainability challenges of my favorite sport, Olympic figure skating. Here's how the International Skating Union, US Figure Skating and other federations can do more 🌱⛸️

Christina is genuinely one of the best mentors in organizing that I've had. For years I've always thought to myself how much I would love to see her serve as an elected. I'm with her 110%

My name is Christina Cover. I am a 28-year-old UFT public school teacher in the Bronx. I serve on my local community board and am a proud member of NYC-DSA and NY Working Families Party. I am strongly considering a run for New York State Assembly in District 84. I have taught and served at multiple schools in the Bronx. I have seen the extraordinary resolve and brilliance of Bronx students and educators. Simultaneously, I experience the persistent struggles we face. Many students are reading below grade level, but this issue is not in isolation. Defunded programs in our communities have exacerbated violence, important literacy laws are not moving fast enough, and affordability, as we saw in the recent mayoral election, is an urgent concern for Bronx residents and all New Yorkers. As an Assembly Member, I will demand investment in public safety and take a proactive approach, champion laws that raise the bar for literacy in Bronx schools, and join the relentless fight for affordability. I will do this as a democratic socialist who will not accept a cent of corporate or real estate PAC money. info@christinaforassembly.com

My name is Christina Cover. I am strongly considering a run for New York State Assembly in District 84.

I've known Christina since 2020, when she helped Khaleel Anderson become by far the most progressive elected in Southeast Queens.

Since then, she's been a model member of both NY WFP and NYC-DSA: engaged, empathetic, insightful, and committed to building organization.

Yes to Christina for AD-84! ✊

On college campuses at least, I think the issue is people being more pre-occupied with pre-professional endeavors/schoolwork/etc., and more recently concerns over being doxxed, losing a visa, or being expelled. I agree with the community organizing responses under here too

We condemn the illegal invasion of Venezuela, and we condemn the fossil fuel corruption that led us here. Young people — once again — are the ones that oil billionaires will feed into the meatgrinder of an unjust, imperialist war.

twitter is such a vile, hostile place especially for women and children right now...sending love to survivors and immense rage towards the people that let it devolve into this nightmare. fuck elon musk 🤮 www.jezebel.com/what-will-it...

Extreme Heat, Leaks and Security Issues Roil COP30 - Inside Climate News The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change raised multiple concerns about the makeshift venue in Belém.

Hard to type when it’s so hot that your fingertips sweat. Maybe holding COP30 on a old airport runway was not such a good idea. insideclimatenews.org/news/1811202...

Harvard invited two fossil fuel executives to speak on climate panels this past month. As a co-founder of @sunriseharvard.bsky.social, I can confidently say it is another example of Trumpist capitulation.

In today's @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social, opinion published 4 pieces reflecting on speech climate at Harvard two years after Oct. 7th.

The first is a powerful piece from Bernhard Nickel, a non-citizen Harvard Professor who testified in AAUP v. Rubio.

Recently, Harvard moved up FIRE's rankings from its dead-last position. But, Harvard students still know that there is a grave speech problem on campus: look to recent program suspensions, for example.
