Sometimes when I post it can be hard to do someone justice. The thoughts are there but the words won’t translate them and I feel like perhaps I have done a disservice. I am posting Aly Raisman again cause I was thinking about her again. In part I almost felt cheated we didn’t get to sneak in more photoshoot pictures last time, as nice as it was to do the red carpet, but mainly I was thinking about the strange nature of fame and how we can confuse it with importance if we aren’t careful. Aly Raisman is a hero. I am sure someone on the internet will take issue with that sort of statement but that someone is probably either ill informed and has no idea why I would say that or just a real piece of shit. Either way I don’t have much time for them, I’m too tired and cranky to waste my time. She is a hero. Even if she hadn’t stood up to her abuser and made it her mission to try and make the world a better place as a result she is well worth our respect just because she seems to be a combination of dedicated, hard working, and a deeply good person. I am on record saying an Olympic Gymnast is someone who as a little girl worked harder than most of us do as adults. That alone is the sort of thing we should look up to. On top of that she is gracious in victory and defeat. And yes, she is a hero. So it feels like one of the strange quirks of the world that when she is at an event for like, MTV or something, she is one of the least famous people there. And that can be confused for importance but it shouldn’t be. I should have better thoughts on this but sometimes they don’t come. I guess what I am posting Aly Raisman because she is important. Like I said the other day for Jessie Diggins, I am proud she represents me as American. Today I want to fuck Aly Raisman.
