out lgbtq+ olympians!

this is my third attempt at this post. I am using the list compiled by outsports here. i highly encourage you to click through and read about each of these athletes.

below the cut is the list of the 182* out lgbtq+ athletes at the tokyo games. from the outsports list i have added some scheduling information -- if they've already competed, how they did, and if they are still competing/are yet to compete, when you can catch them. all times are US central daylight, because that's where I live.

representation in sport is SO important for lgbtq+ kids. allies, PLEASE make it a point to post about these athletes on your social media. making the olympic team is a HUGE accomplishment for anyone, and the social barriers that exist for most lgbtq+ athletes make it even MORE amazing.

Arranged by alphabetical order of sport. I have bolded the names of athletes who are still competing or will compete later in the Olympics. Athletes' names are italicized when they win a medal.

hello! you said in one of your videos (I think) that in order to write it’s important to read, but I can’t seem to be able to fit reading in my schedule (as in other than fanfic) so I’m wondering how you do it and what your goals are weekly/monthly/yearly. can’t wait to finish Narcissus btw! xx

HELLO!!! honestly it would be really hard for me to find time to read at all if i wasn’t an english major. i’d say about 75% of the books and short stories that i read this year were for one class or another, and the rest i read over the summer or during smaller breaks from school.

i don’t know what your situation/schedule is like, but no matter what i think the key is routine. if you schedule a daily block in your day ahead of time you no longer have to find time — it’s already there. making a habit doesn’t take very long, so it’ll get easier and easier to just do it without thinking as time goes on. and start with small goals! it’ll be easy to commit, for example, to reading for just fifteen minutes before bed every night. anothering thing to keep in mind is to always set goals based on time reading and not number of pages read! you’ll be surprised by how much material you’ll get through with just fifteen minutes a night.

and don’t be afraid to change up how you’re reading! audiobooks are great and though a lot of them are expensive, if a book is in the public domain you’ll find an audiobook of it on youtube or spotify! i personally am not a fan of audiobooks (i have a predominantly visual/photographic memory — i recall stories by remembering how the pages looked so i don’t retain stories as well if i’m only listening) but i’ll often play one while reading along. i did this for about ten shakespeare plays this year (because shakespeare is meant to be heard, not read, dammit) and am currently listening to little women before bed (because i’ve read it so many times already).

once reading is part of your daily routine, you can increase your time spent reading by reading whenever you have a spare moment. i read a lot this year in between classes, whenever i didn’t have friends to eat with at the dining hall, whenever i had free time at work, and while on the train. this is made even easier if you are able to carry your book with you everywhere, so i’d recommend either reading paperbacks whenever possible or on your phone/laptop.

in short, just remember that slow and steady wins the race! reading is not a competition or a matter of page count. this is why i detest yearly reading goals based on number of books read (like the goodreads challenges). i’d much rather you focus on rewarding yourself for reading every day rather than achieving a certain number of books read. ALSO it is always more important to read things that you enjoy rather than things that will make reading a chore in any way for you. since i read a lot of *intellectual* material for school, i read exclusively fun books for enjoyment.

anyway, happy reading! also thanks for reading narcissus! i’m so happy that i actually finished writing it this year rather than letting it go on as an unfininished work forever.

here are some of my favorite things i read in 2019:

the poppy war by rf kuang, nobody is ever missing by catherine lacey, the fourth state of matter by jo ann beard (commonly known as one of the best creative non fiction essays in existence), lavinia by ursula k le guin, my body is a book of rules by elissa washuta, severance by ling ma, wonder woman grew up in nebraska by sarah gerkensmeyer, reeling for the empire by karen russel, a midsummer night’s dream by shakespeare, notes of a native son by james baldwin, selections from the iliad by homer (translated by caroline alexander), the odyssey by homer (translated by emily wilson), and the song of achilles by madeline miller.

also i’m currently reading a memory called empire by arkady martine and loving it! and soon i want to start reading the witcher book series because i loved the show.

anyway i hope this answer was helpful to you. happy reading!! (and come back when you’re done with narcissus — i’d love to hear your thoughts!)
