“So, all her life, everyone knows she swims, she medals.
Suddenly, now she’s Black. No one knew. She’s a swimmer - now she’s Black.
What’s next, a biologist? Sure.
Nevermind the media and her crowds…”– #maga
“I hope I get this research position, I hear competition is fierce but my advisor recommended me!”
The competition:
Double Masters, gold Olympic medal, and probably younger than me to boot.
I’m not envious, you’re envious!
Excellent non-use of “jealous” 👌
Homer taught me.
Can she like chill, I’m trying to underachieve over here.
Bro, she makes it easier to underachieve! Like what if you accidentally get a degree or gold medal in the Olympics? Now you can look at her and still get a dose of some sweet sweet imposter syndrome.

Well she should, there’s no real career in being an ex-Olympic athlete unless you win a big contract or get a line of kit with your name on it. Many medals end up for sale because the athlete needs money, or because they’ve passed away and the family can’t decide what to do with it. Having a “what do I do after being an athlete?” plan is pretty important.
Is that her on both pictures?
Yes?
Must be the lighting and angle then because I could npt see it at first
Yeah let’s celebrate how fast she can run. Obviously that’s the most important thing. /s
I mean Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology, but if you’re dropping into a half pipe you’re probably more likely to be listening to Smash than to his dissertation on tape…
Different contexts. She can run like stink (as in, fastest in the world), and I don’t see how that takes away from her academic achievements.
Well it is something she can do better than any other epidemiologist. I wonder how she feels about Noah Lyles exposing everyone in his heats to COVID?
I mean, she can run really fast. It is impressive, let’s be impressed with this whole, fairly well-rounded person.
Sure, sure, but how far can she throw a ball?
Not to take away from her academic achievements at all, but: Plenty of people graduate Harvard every year and receive Master degrees.
But we don’t measure who did it best out of all people on earth.
Well, Harvard might, idc. Either way, it’s also more fun to watch a bunch of people running fast than to watch them be really good in science.
