Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles literally bowed down to Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade on the podium as she claimed first place in the gymnastics floor final.

Apparently Simone said that Jordan asked Simone, "Should we bow to her?" And Simone replied, "Absolutely."

“It was just the right thing to do.”

Can you just imagine?

Can you just imagine if women ALWAYS cheered for each other so enthusiastically, so boldly, so unapologetically, so joyfully, so selflessly?

Can you just imagine if women didn’t feel threatened by each other’s successes and used them instead as motivation?

Can you just imagine if women supported other women, simply because “it was just the right thing to do?”

This. Is. Everything.

And this is why I love the Olympics—because we don’t look to them just as an example of what we could be as athletes, we look to them as an example of what we could be as humans.

When it comes to the female athletes competing right now in the 2024 Olympic Games, want to know what I couldn’t care less about?

What their hair looks like.

What their BMI is.

What they wear when they compete.

If they have makeup on.

How long their nails are.

How masculine or feminine they appear to be.

These are the most boring, uninteresting parts about all of them.

Talk to me instead about how the biker who won gold in BMX did so wearing her brother’s number on her jersey, and how she broke down in tears afterward because he was there cheering her on despite suffering a horrible crash in 2020 that left him in a coma for two months and despite her own wipeout at the Tokyo games that crushed her spirit.

Talk to me instead about how the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history became only the second swimmer EVER to win the same race in four straight Olympic games (she did it the first time at 15 years old, no big deal).

Talk to me instead about how the gymnast who struggled with her mental health defied all the couch potato internet haters, focused all her energy on getting better, and fought her way to an epic comeback to become the most decorated American Olympic gymnast.

Talk to me instead about how the rugby player who preaches body positivity and acceptance helped the women’s sevens team make history by earning its first-ever medal (and the first medal for U.S. rugby period since 1924).

Talk to me instead about how the rower who won gold secretly wrote about her dreams in her diary at the age of 14, only to have her note handed back to her seven years later by her dying father as a reminder that even when she didn’t believe in herself, he always did.

Talk to me instead about how the judo champion who has been a trailblazer for women’s rights in sports worked tirelessly to ensure that breastfeeding athletes received hotel rooms during the games, brought her daughter with her to training, and held her aloft after winning the bronze.

Talk to me instead about how a 55-year-old shooter is the first female athlete to compete in 10 Olympic games, setting a record for longevity in her sport.

Talk to me instead about how this is the FIRST Olympics in history where we have true gender parity—5250 male athletes competing and 5250 female athletes competing.

And I really couldn’t care less about what they look like, how much they weigh, if they choose to wear leggings instead of bikini bottoms, what their hair looks like, how long their nails are, how old they are, or if they don’t fit the “mold” of what society says they should.

Because the only thing worth talking about is how all these female athletes are out there absolutely DOMINATING in their sports, and they are proving there is space for EVERYONE.

The future is female.

LFG!!!

“In Idaho…BABE VOTE, which seeks to register young voters on college campuses, at music festivals and elsewhere, has been grappling with the fallout from a 2023 law.
“Youth registration in Idaho soared in recent years, growing faster between 2018 and 2022 than in any other state, according to a Tufts University analysis.
“The law passed by the state Legislature established the types of identification voters could use to register and prove residency, which include a deed of trust, credit card statement or concealed weapons license, but does not include student ID. ‘That hurt, that forced us to suspend our voter registration drives,’ Sam Sandmire [a BABE VOTE board member] said.
“BABE VOTE’s lawsuit called the changes ‘a surgical attack on Idaho’s youngest voters,’ but the case was rejected by the state Supreme Court in April. (A separate case in federal court over the law remains active.)
“The group’s volunteers restarted registration drives this spring, after a nine-month pause. But Sandmire said the changes to ID requirements have meant the group has to turn away perhaps a third of eligible Idahoans they encounter who are interested in registering.

“’It is a really disturbing trend that these types of bills are circulating nationally,’ said Saumya Sarin, a volunteer with Idaho’s BABE VOTE.
