I think my figure skating commentary dream team would be @Mark_Hanretty and @TanithWhite ! Please make it happen @ISU_Figure !

[Ida @IdaWW]

@Mark_Hanretty @ISU_Figure thank you for your commentary. I really enjoyed it!

@mattatxbox The kids got some lil gadgets untangled pro, which they like, but the mic is in the cord when corded. Not tried Bluetooth with Xbox. Your kids might be too big for these. They nice though.

[Ida @IdaWW]

@mattatxbox That said, I recently got a HyperX Cloud Stinger. I use it for work and I like it. Nice enough sound, not too heavy or expensive. It’s wired tho, normal headphone jack. Works fine with Xbox but I’ve not used it fir chat.

[Ida @IdaWW]

@mattatxbox If you find a magic bullet for teaching you kid how loud he yells, please, please let me know. My kids yell at their friends standing right next to them.

ARREST THE COPS THAT MURDERED BREONNA TAYLOR.

KEEP BEING LOUD ABOUT THIS.

JUSTICE IS REQUIRED.

Just did an interview with @CBCHereandNow about my experience for Skate Canada as black figure skater and my complaints not being properly investigated by them. It should be airing within the next 30 mins please give it a listen.

[Ida @IdaWW]

Only one TV, good thing Switch has it's own screen. Social distancing is surely accelerating my kids' online presence.

[Ida @IdaWW]

Thanks @Mojang and @Xbox and @NintendoAmerica for enabling crossplay for Minecraft. Two kids, two different consoles, two different friend groups. Everything worked great!

@fsonline @Chrisboyadji @ClaireCloutier Great read, thank you !

@tarah_keeps Yay! go you 💜

[Ida @IdaWW]

This whole thread. Truth and 🤣. I’d play Call of Booty.

[Ida @IdaWW]

@parabasis A Hero of Our Time (Lermontov) and The Unbearably Lightness of Being (Kundera). I’ve thought of re-reading both 20+ years later I wonder if I’d still like them. Also some Karen Blixen and Johannes V Jensen novels, but embarrassingly I’ve forgotten most of my Danish canon

@tinytempest Once at Delicate Arch I saw a couple of ravens pull an excellent 2-bird con. One of them paraded around looking photogenic to lure the humans away from their packs, and as soon as they were away the other swooped in & stole a package of crackers. They flew off together in triumph

[Ida @IdaWW]

It better not be a tease, @bioware. Real info or nothing, please.
