Kelsey

Maybe she'll go to post-Olympics Worlds if we want it bad enough???

Unfortunately she announced that this would be her final season a while ago. Her programs this year were 100% retirement season programs.

2:00 Eastern today! I am just two days post-surgery and will be joining on audio only, but definitely need to talk about the Olympic figure skating! (and books and stuff)

I’m awake and doing well following my surgery! I’m gonna not be online until I’ve had a chance to watch the figure skating though because I don’t want spoilers. 😉

The monthly liveshow I co-host with @kalanadi.bsky.social, @bookfinch.bsky.social, @thefancyhatlady.bsky.social, and @breereadsbooks.bsky.social, Stitch & Bitch, is eligible for Best Fancast this year www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

6th??? 😮

Yes! The singles skaters have the opportunity to do something like switch up their planned jumps (e.g. Ilia Malinin will almost certainly try 4A in the individual when he didn’t in the team), but mostly totally the same, and the dance teams won’t change anything.

Unfortunately I feel obligated to share some info on why they are controversial. This is a webpage put together by some fans. skatingaccountability.notion.site

Second Czech team will also be siblings.

The first group was shown on the no-commentary feed, which is what I’m watching right now.

During the Olympics??? Don't they know figure skating fans need those Etsy witches to send healing and luck to their favorite skaters?!?

(This is a joke, obviously this hurts people's businesses no matter when it happens, but also this is a real thing skating fans have been doing this season.)

Camera cut to JD Vance in attendance after Chock/Bates skated their rhythm dance in the team event. Boo. Hiss. Hope he hates 90s music and was suffering. ⛸️

Personal health update: I will be having a laparoscopic surgery next Friday with an estimated recovery time of 2 weeks. This has been planned for months, and I will have a family member here to help me, but I expect to be a little absent from social media/booktube for a bit.

Okay, but if you like Shaidorov!Dune, may I also introduce you to IceDance!Dune from Olivia Smart and Tim Dieck skating for Spain??? This is their second year skating to Dune in free dance, but it is actually a whole new program this year with a different music cut!

Relevant to note that they are serious contenders for the gold medal at the Olympics this month. (If I had to make a prediction, I'd guess they're gonna win.)

I haven't watched the new ice dance documentary on Netflix yet (it just dropped yesterday) and don't know how much of this it gets into, but thought I should share this link where some fans have compiled some background info on one of the three teams featured:

I am torn between I REQUIRE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE and I AM DRAGGING MY ANCHOR.

No, neither of them is! I'm facebook friends with one of them, but I think that's it. Both of their video content is well-made and on topics I'm interested in, not out of place on my fyp at all.

There are couple different people who keep coming up on my TikTok fyp, one talking about film and the other about theatre, and it's been bugging me how wildly familiar they seem. Finally did a bit of internet sleuthing and realized that's because I went to college with both of them. 🤦‍♀️

The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia!

I am thinking it's a pajama livestream sort of day.
