Normally, I Am Not Proud To Call Myself An American (for All The Expected Reasons). Especially With This

normally, i am not proud to call myself an american (for all the expected reasons). especially with this upcoming election season and all the shit going on in the government, supreme court, etc., my patriotism levels are at an all-time low.

but the SECOND that you put Kathleen Genevieve Ledecky in a pool, i am a feral red-blooded american. my pronouns are U/S/A!!! i kiss eagles as i watch her glide through the water. she is the greatest woman and i am proud to be from the same country as her.
