... I don't know Jia Tolentino's insisted-upon pronouns, so I wrote the sentence to avoid using a pronoun.

I wonder when TNY will start including insisted-upon pronouns in the contributor list?

Interesting that you used the words "insisted-upon" twice. I thought the term was "preferred." Can you say more about that?

But what the hell kind of sports are skeleton and breaking??!!???

Isn't skeleton like luge?  Not sure what breaking is.


Luge and Skeleton are similar.  Luge is feet first, and Skeleton is head first.   In the pic below Luge is on the top, Skeleton is in the middle.  Not sure why Bobsled is included in the pic.






As for "Breaking", that is short for Breakdancing, which is making its debut as an Olympic sport event this year in the Summer Games.

So, who used to cook when you two were up on Brokeback?





Jack did, mostly.  One time he offered to make eggs for breakfast, and I flipped him over, easy, and said "That's how I like my Jack!"

He stopped makin eggs after that.







Slut!
