Always amazes me how little compassion ppl have. Kids from poor families trying to do better for themselves. Couldn't afford to go to school here, find a course of study they could afford on the other side of the world. Now war. And instead of compassion, self-righteousness. Wow

I want to say thanks to everyone who reached out during my recent bout of covid-19. I've been recuperating from what was a serious illness, but I’m now feeling much better and I return to air today. I can’t say enough how touched I was by all the expressions of concern.

I don't let men call me "darling" or "my dear" in professional settings or interviews. It's a power play men use to be condescending to women & try to put us in our place In interviews, these men don't start out with "my dear". No. It starts when they don't like the questions

Re US media coverage, you always have to remember that American media don't cover track & field. They cover the US. It's hard for real track fans to understand but they only care about the winner if the winner is American. Exhibit A - NBC coverage of Olympics over the years.

Last point for now. We may disapprove of certain words, language & behaviour and regard them as disrespectful. But is that reason enough to take away someone's liberty and have them locked up? We are too quick to defend locking up ppl. And it's always poor ppl targeted.
