This is blatant Javier Fernandez erasure.

When showcasing athletic talent from Spain, why in the world are we turning to the minion guy? (I know why but I need the ISU to explain themselves)

Minion power on the ice, World Cup fever in the air.
Spain's got both covered. 😎

The Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup and we still don’t have a Four Continents location

The Knicks won the championship and we still don’t have a Four Continents location

Some quick personal notes:

• I am from Raleigh, NC.
• Raleigh, NC is home to an NHL team named the Carolina Hurricanes.
• The Hurricanes just won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 20 years (I was 4).

I love ice sports and I love my home. #StanleyCup #SoundTheSiren

My community theatre needs handwritten sheets as props for their upcoming production of School of Rock so of course I have to school the kids on Mikhail Shaidorov

(I know my handwriting sucks pls don’t laugh 🫣)

What are Alysa Liu’s MacArthur Park costume and Alysa Liu’s Gaga costume doing in a Bath & Body Works??

The way I called this in my head but didn’t actually take my delusion seriously enough to say it out loud, AND THEN IT HAPPENED!

If I had a nickel for every time that’s happened this year I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s crazy that it happened twice!

And in case you were wondering…I did in fact pass my master’s defense on Tuesday and this is my celebration 🥹

[Oh My Quad @OhMyQuadBlog]

Emerging from the pit of being in the last semester of my master’s degree to get hype for stars on ice greensboro tn 🤩

Some of yall need to be reminded of the figure skating competition etiquette holy grail — if you have to get up or return to your seat, you WAIT UNTIL THE SKATER FINISHES THEIR FREAKING PROGRAM. Saw this rule broken way too many times at Nationals

[𝑲𝒂𝒍 @svn8nine]

What’s the most boomer complaint you have?

[Anything GOEs @AnythingGOE]

Kaori, we’ll never be ready to say goodbye to you. #MilanoCortina2026

stop talking about misha like he's some nobody who got lucky. he's kazakhstan's 5 time national champion, the 2025 worlds silver medalist, he won 2025 4cc, and, although he had a rough start for his season, he was always a podium contender.

[Oh My Quad @OhMyQuadBlog]

I’ve seen a few posts calling Misha Shaidorov a Russian or equating him being Kazakhstani to being Russian, so I just thought I’d leave this here (taken from his Wikipedia page)…

[Oh My Quad @OhMyQuadBlog]

I’m still in shock of the results. Devastated for Ilia — he had far too much pressure placed on him. But beyond overjoyed for Misha in this historic moment

Blog posts about this event will be coming sometime this week, whenever I can collect my thoughts
