I’m going to save this one for a while. Thank You to @YoYo_Ma for sharing his gift with all of us. Peace to all.

A #songofcomfort for anyone who needs it.

Today Figure Skating for All released an open letter to US Figure Skating, protesting the trans-exclusionary “category policy”. All members of our community - skaters, coaches, and fans - can sign on and add your voices to support trans skaters!

@rockerskating Not sweet Caroline please. I’m a Red Sox fan and I hate it. It’s a song about leering at a child Caroline Kennedy. Very creepy w pedophile overtones (I’m not saying ND is one but widely known inspiration) though he has backpedaled on the origin story as it gained popularity.

@sanchaysriv @Mimiiben1 I did this way faster on my head than this 😂

@LynnGillis05210 @S70Dr_v2 Refuse to sing sweet Caroline because of the history. How it became a Red Sox anthem is a sweet story but the song itself is not sweet

@trppleloops @harocats Danny is partnerless? Did I miss something?

[gusmom @mfgus]

@BrianDRobertson @TartanArmyGroup ❤️ the past week brought the joy we all needed.

[gusmom @mfgus]

@trppleloops My #1 issue with skating across all disciplines. I’d love to see more accountability for judges and PCS that actually matches the skating on the ice.

[gusmom @mfgus]

@AnythingGOE I expected them both to. She made it to the Olympics which was her goal. ❤️

[gusmom @mfgus]

@jumpsarentreal But how many of them can actually compete internationally this season?

[gusmom @mfgus]

@rockerskating 🤔

[gusmom @mfgus]

@rockerskating Yes. But how? I’d start with the actual rhythm dance w pattern dance again. Clear measurable steps for everyone and clear distinctions between teams.

[gusmom @mfgus]

@krobill2 He did but his skating was totally overscored because he could jump. Not the only one but he didn’t have a lot in between at first. The past couple of seasons he’s skates have been much improved in overall skating.

@BillieJeanKing @usta He was the voice of tennis when I was growing up. No GS was complete without Bud’s just off the court interview, particularly Wimbledon. ❤️ and those outfits!

[gusmom @mfgus]

@AnythingGOE And for someone like JLB, he has lived in Canada so long that I think he should be able to get it relatively easily.

[gusmom @mfgus]

@AnythingGOE I don’t like this at all.What (or who) promoted this change? It’s bad enough that some countries will give away citizenship but for ISU to decide to override that by allowing someone w/o even pending citizenship to skate is ridiculous 😡

[gusmom @mfgus]

@CraigBaird :( not in Canada but have enjoyed it on our visits. It’s an institution.

[gusmom @mfgus]

@BenVolin What a waste. They could have at least given them to charity.

[gusmom @mfgus]

@Dan1763 @NTXgunner @xo_laurakay Too bad there weren’t similar options in the U.S.

[gusmom @mfgus]

@wthrnghghtsfd I think that is likely related to the new seeding rules. Reduced travel, no back to back for some, limited options with the seeding rules.
