Not just re: IAM and maybe I'm naive despite watching skating for most of my life now how could/would IAM as a school manipulate a whole judging panel? I think G&P have good grievances, as most of the dancers do, about the lack of the pattern, about the inconsistent judging and just not liking...

Saioa Sancho has been the ref at various events I've helped the ref in timing. She knows her stuff and to my eyes seems very fair.

Paul, with his guitar, to ANL, singing I'M JUST SECOND HAND NEWWWSSSSS

That poor poor girl. I want to protect her from her psychotic, vile mother.

I booked a hotel right by Piccadilly because it’s very easy just to take the train to the airport according to my aunty. We’ll both be leaving from Manchester on Tuesday, but my flight leaves in the afternoon to Atlanta. I think it’s less than 20 minutes on the train. I’m probably not going to...

We'll be in Greensboro for the show. I also got the pre-show 'stargazer' pass, which is funny considering way back in college we could just go into the arena early in Anaheim or San Diego and watch.

We'll be there either in Greensboro or Greenville! Probably Greensboro bc Mini can just miss the Friday whateverrrrr

It's going to be fun! My shifts are all in the morning so I won't miss any of the competition either.

I'm sure he thinks he's right to treat Maia like shit, and I'm sure he's been doing it for a very long time. I also doubt he apologized. It's probably pretty normal between them and their defending it makes it worse imo.

Oh no is Michael okay?!

Phebe Bekker told me to please keep my son in skating because boys are 'gold dust'... I think there's definitely a power imbalance with so few boys in the sport because a lot of them go to hockey. Boys are indispensable. We hear so much of guys getting away with garbage, abusive behavior...

I wonder how that would work with flamenco.
