Jessie Diggins is in this year’s body issue, which I suppose is old news if you follow that kind of thing but I don’t because you can’t follow everything. I actually am a big fan of what ESPN does with the body issue and I am sure someone has some issue with it because the world is full of haters but it does a remarkable job of covering lots of body types and lots of ages in a celebration of the human form. I mean, Greg Norman is in it this year and he’s 63, and looks fantastic by the way, and it’s just a nice. I am sure someone hates it because it’s nudity and some people cannot separate nudity from depravity but I consider it a positive thing that is put into the world once a year. And we get a double positive this time with Jessie Diggins who, and this is also old news but I am just catching up, wrote about it on her blog and her struggles with an eating disorder when she was in her late teens. I have always found Jessie Diggins delightful and the one time I posted her previously in the past it was about how delightful I found her despite her not medaling. Then she went and medaled and remained delightful and inspirational. And she continues to be both of those things here because the truth is admitting anything like this is braver than you know. Or maybe you do know. I don’t have an eating disorder but I like many have parts of my past that are considered taboo to talk about or something I should be ashamed of. It takes a lot of courage to come clean about these things because it will alter how people will see you and the simple truth is a lot of people will attack you for it. I haven’t looked cause god knows I don’t need the rage that builds up inside me but I am sure the internet is full of terrible people with things to say about how either she is doing this for attention (people love negative attention. I know I personally love being attacked and told what a terrible person I am. It is so much fun) or that she is lying and well, who knows. This sort of thing tends to bring out the most vile parts of humanity. But it helps people so she did it anyway because she’s brave and you know heroic. It’s what she does. This winter I was proud to have her represent me as an American and today I continue to be proud that she represents me and my country. I am thankful that she does and we get to have her. So I wanted to post her. Today I want to fuck Jessie Diggins.
