It's okay to just pay attention to fat bears for a week, if that helps you

Well, I guess I spoke too soon. The person who was going to take Tweets can't take him after all. And there are no other options left except for what I didn't want to do. I can't believe this.

looks like a case of fragile male ego

We did it! I don't think I'll fully believe it until it's over, but we found someone who wants Dr Tweets. Sadly, he and Quincy have to be separated, but I'm just glad they both have a place to go. Details in the thread. (Also, if you have a few bucks to spare to help with costs, info is there, too.)

Back very much not shortly. Don't get a brain injury. Nearly 5 years later and mine is still regularly fucking me over.

watching the #ChineseNebelhorn Men's FS this morning so I can get back on the wider internet.

Nope. The eyes say they are done with screens for the day. Good night everyone, I shall Men in the morning.

I think I am making the terrible choice and staying up for the men. But only if I rest my eyes until then. The longest-lingering side effect of my concussion in December 2020 is a propensity for bad eye strain from too much staring at screens. I need to periodically literally rest my eyes.

Oh shit, Mark just reminded me that Milla and Nikolaj can still get the last spot if Yuka Orihara doesn't get her Finnish citizenship. I love them both so much, don't make me choose!!!! #ChineseNebelhorn

what a time for every FUCKIN TEAM TO GET EARLY SEASON CHST CALLS #ChineseNebelhorn #SkateToMilano

When I was taught to touch type in Keyboarding class in High School I never would have predicted I would one day be using it to livepost to the internet during figure skating competitions.

I will now be spending the ice cut with my eyes closed to preserve my vision for the long night.

"Her dress is nice. He's in a turtleneck," is evergreen ice dance commentary if ever I saw. #ChineseNebelhorn #SkateToMilano

"The other disciplines don't want to share with the ice dancers, and I get it." -- Mark Hanretty, speaking the truth #SkateToMilano #ChineseNebelhorn ⛸️

this is such a cool lift.

Imagine winning a lawsuit in order to be here and then you get creamed in the warmup! Poor Chelsea. #SkateToMilano #ChineseNebelhorn ⛸️

Really cool choreo slide move from Ritter/Brykalov, and the classic "he dies in her arms" choreographic ending. #ChineseNebelhorn

Fuck, how about we don't start the Free Dance with an on-ice collision! That did not look good at all. #ChineseNebelhorn

posting donovan's short so we can get some non-skaters into the donovan prayer circle tonight and get this boy to milano do it for me and the entire country of mexico youtu.be/tQxsADfp6mI?...

The FD starts at 10pm my time, which is a perfectly acceptable time to be up and watching figure skating. However! The Men's FS then starts at 1:45am. An entirely unacceptable time to be up and watching figure skating, but an entirely logical time for me to be awake if I stay up to watch the RD.

We are all crying

This is it right fucking here

Ian: Marna and I are thinking of going for a walk in the woods with the dog, do you want to join us? Me: Any other weekend, but honestly, I want to be able to look at the internet again!

Dmitra Korri may not have the skills of the top competitors, but she absolutely has the intensity Je suis malade requires, and she sold the hell out of that program. #ChineseNebelhorn

I love how invested Mark is in this competition. Listening to him vibrate in his seat during that last group of Pairs was delightful. #ChineseNebelhorn

Alright, going in! Pairs FS and then Women's FS time. #ChineseNebelhorn

And now I SLEEP. I've been up since 8am and it's now nearly 2am. Only the promise of Donovan kept me going this far.

So according to this article Kyrylo's father is fighting at the frontlines aka killing Russians and Mark isn't allowed to mention that in his commentary? Shame on you, ISU. Meanwhile I'm wondering how Kyrylo feels competing against a Russian. #ChineseNebelhorn #SkateToMilano fs-gossips.com/14325/

Kyrylo's SP music was sent to him as a suggestion from his father, who is fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine, defending their homeland from Russian invasion. Don't judge me if I cry. #SkateToMilano #ChineseNebelhorn

On the one hand Petr Gumennik was overscored. On the other hand, compared to the scores he's been getting in domestic Russian competitions, that was pleasingly restrained. #ChineseNebelhorn

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

Okay, last post about this for now. I think I have to split up Quincy and Tweets, because my only option will only take Quincy. I'm going to work as hard as I can to help Tweets, so if anybody knows anyone who would be willing to take in one senior cat, please point them my way. He's a very good boy

At what point are we going to admit that the Notwithstanding Clause is no longer a "rarely used provision," since every single fucking Conservative government has used or is planning to use it to trample on the Charter rights of their constituents? Why do we even have a "hidden fascism" clause?

Phew. Okay, so, this is tough. I can't afford to pay for the surgery my beloved Eugenides needs to save his mouth from severe inflammation and infection. I'm chronically underpaid by my day job and already struggling financially. Please ... I need help. www.gofundme.com/f/gen-sad-ki...

I was SO nervous watching Allison and Saulius but DAMN did they deliver! That was fantastic. #ChineseNebelhorn

Any other olds remember those "Dance Hits of the 90s!" compilation CDs advertised on the TV in the late 90s/200s? And they'd play short snippets of a bunch of songs back to back? A lot of these rhythm dances remind me way too much of those commercials. #ChineseNebelhorn

Hey, Los Angeles & Southern California! Come get your bebe!

I didn't plan to watch the #ChineseNebelhorn RD live, but I couldn't sleep, so here I am. Watching on my phone so I haven't been commenting but I have to say I'm really liking the diversity of music selections so far.

I don't know who needs to hear this but no fandom event is worth giving them your ID. "but they promise they'll delete it!" doesn't matter. "but they only want to see my birthday!" doesn't matter. *AO3* doesn't ask for your ID - do not fucking trust some rando on the internet with it.

This is fantastic:

Quick signal boost: my cousin (a nurse) and her kiddo lost their home and everything in it in the Sackville fire. They have a safe place to stay, thankfully, and things are tight for everyone, but any financial help for them to start rebuilding would be amazing. www.gofundme.com/f/shes-spent...

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

Let's help these two cats find a new home!

For years whenever we were overwhelmed by how much we had to do my sister and I would joke that perhaps society would collapse before we’d have to do it all, but today when I said this instead of laughing she just said: I don’t think that’s funny anymore.
