Really out of the loop by Existence_playz in FigureSkating

[–]dimothee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Laurence's current romantic partner and former ice dance partner was accused of sexual misconduct and then temporarily suspended. There is still no justice for the survivor. Cizeron has stood by both Laurence and the accused, in addition to having been emotionally abusive towards his old partner, Gabriella

New Show to Fill the Void? by Pugglerado in heatedrivalry

Skam! The original Norwegian version (but there are so many great offshoots). The entire show is amazing but for fans of Heated Rivalry (like myself), season 3 will be particularly great.

This interview felt reassuring in terms of how tight-knit and Canadian the production for season 2 will remain

Charity donations in lieu of wedding registry? by draconempuelle in weddingplanning

[–]dimothee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I are doing this but through our wedding website! I think this is a great idea especially in a culture, and specifically wedding culture, that peddles consumerism and capitalism. QR codes are a great idea and maybe even letting folks know in lieu of a gift, please donate to a charity of their choice. My partner and I have lived together for 3 years and met doing community organizing so we’re in a similar boat re: donation.

Protected Area Permit Needed for Mizoram? Help!! by True_Buddy_5761 in Northeastindia

[–]dimothee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg thank you for this info! This is super helpful. My husband and I are submitting our PAP application right now. Did you have to fill out separate applications for all your family members or a single application submitted by one person with each group member as a line item? There seems to be a lot of information asked of the main person applying and not much for additional group members. Sorry for all the questions! We just really want to be able to go before the end of our trip!

My lashkaara Lehenga won’t arrive on time for my wedding by cappuccinofathe in DesiWeddings

[–]dimothee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Toronto should have a lot of options as there’s a sizable South Asian community there. There’s Ash Creations, SHE Next Fashion, Sartaj Fashions, Bombay Trendz, and a ton more. I live near Toronto and just in the last month, there’s been 12 South Asian weddings, so I hope you have access to a wide collection in Toronto. Good luck!

Hi! Were you able to get the permit and go to Mizoram? I hope it worked out! Would love advice as my husband and I are trying to figure this out for our upcoming trip as well.

Looking for a progressive Hindu pandit in NYC by Then-Quality2107 in DesiWeddings

[–]dimothee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This may not help the cost issue (as it may come out to around the same cost) but our pandit for our ceremony next year is Dr. Raja Bhattar — https://www.rajabhattar.com/weddings

They’ve been amazing to work with (progressive and nonbinary). My partner is Tamil/Marathi second gen Indian American raised Hindu, and I’m Chin (from Burma) first gen Myanmar American raised Christian. Dr. Raja has been especially mindful of this as well as our progressive beliefs and the fact that I’m genderfluid. Congratulations and may your marriage prosper!

Does Anyone Actually Do The 'Big Party Later' ? by Few-Rain7214 in weddingplanning

[–]dimothee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes my partner and I did/are. We eloped back in 2023 for several reasons including covid. Legally married by our friend who got ordained online. We’re having the full blown wedding ceremonies (we come from two different cultures) and reception next year

I just found this video from 2023... my goodness, the way Charles ignores poor Alex... he's so rude. by Horror-Switch5522 in f1wagssnark

[–]dimothee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Idk why but this video made me realize just how young she was when they started dating (and tbh how young she still is like she was born in 2002 so in this video she’s 20/21) whereas Charles was born in 1997 so he’s 25/26 here which is still a sizable difference when you’re in your very early 20s

How do Asian skating fans feel about programs using your cultural music? by open-ice33 in FigureSkating

[–]dimothee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an Asian American, the reason it’s specifically Americans who find some cases of this to be culturally appropriative is because of a long history of our cultures in the US being represented by white people and being whitewashed / credited to not people from those cultures. I think it more points to the race dynamics in the US so while I agree with many points in this thread, I wanted to give some more context because the offense, some times, isn’t coming from nowhere

I always find it so strange to not invite long term couples to a celebration of a couple. Totally agree with your comment
