i just don’t think the figure skating establishment as it were has ever really paid shoma his flowers and recognized how impressively long and storied his career is and that’s what makes me love and defend him more than anything else

Imagine this, friends... (this is positive stuff!)
While we're all sad about Chuckie T, he's probably out there laughing at all of us! Wrestled for 21 years with some of the best! He got to make friends, travel the world and leave so many memories and a huge legacy in-ring! That part is not up for debate. Anyone who puts their life on the line and does anything in a ring or outside of one, leaves a legacy that will be remembered! One that will forever be cherished and remembered for the goat he is!
Chuck is probably out here happy for all of the memories he made and excited for this new journey he'll travel on next! He still gets to hang with his best friends! We still might see appearances of him with Orange or other friends even! He'll soon get to help produce the bangers we'll see and he'll get to help coach new & old wrestlers to become the best like he is and always will be!
Think of the in-ring career as a pause, not a finish. He's just taking a break from it and doing other fun, incredible things! :)
Chuck Taylor's not done yet. This isn't a "Dustin Checks Out".
This is Kentucky Gentleman Chuck Taylor, continuing his legacy in the world of wrestling! <3

Pick the photo you are drawn to. When you find this it's the message you need to hear.
Deck used is the Sexual Magic Oracle Deck
1. Scarlet johnanson- Conquest card
Im getting sexual magic. You are using your sexual energy to attract things into your life. Some may be celibate and that is making you attractive because the energy you have put towards partners who probably were not worthy of your energy or you felt disempowered with is now focused on you. You are using that energy to manifest the life you want. As well as the sex life you want. You becoming empowered and have zero desire to let others to come into your energy that are not in tune with themselves and bringing their best version of themselves to you. Love this energy. Keep your standards, don't waver. You will get the best, because you believe you deserve the best.
2. Sade- Awareness card
Im getting intuitive energy. I feel a partner or people you are dating feel you are psychic. Your intuitiveness is very high. You may have been interested in tarot or channeling messages. Im also getting coaching, like a life coach is something you are pursuing or interested in. You are very good read of Bullshi*t. When you feel something is off listen to it. That is a gift of yours. Im feeling a partner around you or person that thinks this connection you have with the universe is beautiful, but makes them a little nervous, because they don’t feel as connected to the universe as you. Don’t push them to be like you, but if they ask you questions about your beliefs and spiritual practice don’t be sacred to share. Also, don’t hide or feel ashamed of your gifts or spiritual practices. Be authietcally you, that attracts the right people. I also want to say you may attract all kids of people, but that’s where your intuitive knowing comes in. Also, do a lot of energy clearing with yourself and take a moment everyday to connect with yourself.
3. Hilary banks- Healing card
I want to say you have been on a journey. There could have been a past you walked away from surrounding heartbreak, not having the highest standards for partners. Your self worth may not have been high. That was the past you have worked/ working on reversing all of that. You may be working on your self concept. You could have been listening to a lot of content about feminine energy and hypergamy and implementing that content into your life. Also, see you have a slight similar energy to pile 1 in the fact you may not be having a lot of sexual encounters right now, because of your standards. Your standards may be linked to if your partner is showing up finically in the way you desire to feel comfortable to take that intimate step. Again, keep your standards. Don’t let anyone pressure you and make sure they are backing their words “promises” with action FIRST!

I previously did part one of a lengthy post about Barbie's careers and it occurred to me after posting it that I did not address Barbie's other major career: athletics. And the main reason for this is that it is hard to distinguish as a single "career".
If you break down each sport none of them touch the top careers, but "professional athlete" probably does - the only problem is determining when Barbie is meant to be depicting a professional athlete, or when she is a hobbyist or amateur.
Breaking down times Barbie appears to be depicted as a coach or instructor of any kind of athletic endeavour (including e.g. dance but not including non-physical pursuits like art or cooking) my count comes to 15 - putting it in frequency between veterinarian and actor.
When I tried to break down all other depictions of athletics, I lost count as I crossed 50. Assuming Wikipedia is accurate, the most common sports seem to be cheerleader, tennis player and gymnast with 10 each - 14 for figure skater and 12 for gymnast, if you count the Olympic variants.
This puts them above astronaut in terms of frequency, and figure skater then comes equal with veterinarian.
Once again I can't help but notice that there's a gender bias here - cheerleading and gymnastics both are female-dominated sports.
Tennis is a bit of an outlier - I don't mentally associate tennis as a particular female sport, but I do know that there are a history of extremely strong female proponents of tennis as a sport for women, and some of the best and certainly most famous tennis players in the world are women.

that kid who broke the world record in skating is impressive and all, but every time I see it I can't help but think of how many kids would be just as talented as him if they had parents that could put hundreds of thousands of dollars into the right coaching from an incredibly early age to shape their child into the exact body they need to pull that shit off

One day, one hour, at a game or an award show or a farewell, tomorrow or in three years time, Pep Guardiola and Leo Messi will meet and embrace wordlessly again and I will be there bawling my eyes out thinking about how an ephemeral summer that lasted four years changed the course of everything. :))

this whole cohabitation of inherently contradictory narratives among supposedly informed, progressive, athlete-focused gym fans has really started to bother me. (and im not exempting myself from this criticism like im sure theres stuff ive argued in recent years that seems hypocritical if not outright being so). but just the entire nature of the reality of the sport, juxtaposed with the commentary about the girls and women who do it at the top level, tends to be both infantilizing and..... idk if theres a word for this or if its just not coming to mind rn but. "over-empowering"...?
