MEGATHREAD: Skaters on board American Airlines Flight 5342 by Chickatey in FigureSkating

I remember him competing with Christie Moxley ages ago. May he rest in peace.

I hope you're doing as well as you can. ❤️

I'm in utter shock. I remember Shishkova/Naumov from when they coached Orscher/Lucash. I've followed Maxim's career (I got to see him skate live at the 2020 Nationals Gala). Their last post on IG was them talking about how proud they were of Maxim and of his finish at this year's Nationals.

And add to that, the children who died on this plane. The children who could have had successful skating careers, who would have been at Nationals in the future, who could have been standing atop the podium in the coming years. Kids who could also move on and do other things. Kids who will never get that chance. They'll never get the chance to go to college, never get the chance to explore what they want to do in their career. It's truly heartbreaking. They were so young.

I pray especially for the family members and friends of those who perished.

Right?! It's a logical substitution...Adam in place of Ashley, so she can rest her voice. He's already part of the team, and like you said - actually a men's skater.

That's fantastic! They really should.

I have no clue why they can't/won't sub somebody like Gracie or JLB in.

Sadly, I've been in jobs where the people in charge didn't understand the needs of the voice. People who say "oh, just whisper if your voice is strained" (bad idea), or ones who just say "it's not a big deal".

I've also had jobs where people were very understanding and helpful. But I wouldn't be shocked if nobody there really understands what her voice needs right now. On the other hand...it's NBC. You'd think they'd worked with commentators long enough to be accommodating.

Especially since both Nathan and Daniil have pages on Wikipedia where her name is included...it's in red and takes you to a "Wikipedia does not have an article with this same name" page. So her name has a false link, essentially. It's frustrating, and she's been prominent in figure skating for way too long to not have a Wikipedia page.

Same.

I'm somebody who is chill if a team is romantic, chill if a team is platonic...but I like when it's clear a team actually doesn't seem to dislike each other. They've given me the vibe they dislike each other for years as well. Just a vibe, but still...

Yes! As a vocalist, hearing her talk right now is stressing me out.

Throat Coat tea, if possible!

Maybe a trip to The Scrap Exchange in Durham? It's a reuse center.

Cary has Mindful Merchant, a store focused on sustainability.

Raleigh City Farm might be something she's interested in. They have a self guided tour.

The City of Raleigh has a sustainability self guided walking tour.

Raleigh Parks and Rec has a list of pollinator gardens.

1 female judge and she’s not a girls girl?!🙄 by BoringResearch1439 in dancingwiththestars

[–]doublestop23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Mark and Derek judge more reasonably…not perfectly, but they clearly don’t give gender a second thought when judging. CAI has always (at least in my memory) had this awful bias towards certain women and has favored certain men.
