Pewter it is! Count me in!

I know :( It's eerie because I had just started watching Glee (and fell in love with it) when I heard about what happened to Naya Rivera and it broke my heart. When the song was playing, it reminded me so much of Katia and I thought it would make a nice tribute to her.

I just really miss pair skating right now.

Thread title alert :)

Can someone translate or summarize it for me? Thank you.

I made a short video in memory of Katia ❤️ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=30xzwPj6hAo

I low key love how Samarin isn’t counted as one of the boys lol

Postergirl? More like Covergirl!

I know this is a bit off topic, but as a young LGBTQ+ woman, I want to add my two cents to the conversation. The LGBTQ+ rights movement began mostly with Black trans women at the Stonewall riots. The Pride parades we enjoy today are a result of their bravery. They led the fight on the political...

I agree - but then she wouldn’t be Christine Brennan, would she? 😜

Great question, @starrynight! I think Davis/White’s program was definitely a step away from the classic “male/female in love” program. To me, they always seemed like a team of best friends rather than lovers, and I really appreciated their style. To me, Papadakis/Cizeron’s free dance last season...

As I stated earlier, I am very grateful to Christine Brennan for her articles on the abuse and subsequent coverups in the sport. She’s helped bring awareness to these problems where most people would try to sweep it under the rug, and I think she genuinely cares about protecting survivors and...

I think there’s two main issues that need to be discussed here: 1. I personally think Tara and Johnny’s skit was stupid and unnecessary. They’re not just two casual fans cracking jokes; they’re professional commentators who have a responsibility to be respectful and reasonably unbiased in their...
