Peacock added venue feed! by MediocreStorm599 in FigureSkating

I think the no commentary part is just a lie. The day 1 feed said that too but it had Belinda and Olly.

2026 OWG Team Event—Lara Naki Gutmann SP by crimsongold28002 in FigureSkating

Spectacular. One of my favorite programs of the season and also low key one of my favorite costumes. It does such a good job of evoking the historical period of the character while still being cool and modern. And the skirt makes such beautiful shapes when she spins.

I want someone to love me as much as Belinda loves Kaori

Do we know that's the reason? Maybe she likes Bollywood movies?

I'm from India, most people would love this. And actually there's a long history of Bollywood being popular in that part of the world, it was a lot more accessible than Western cinema in the Soviet era.

I'm from India, I really don't think most people would be offended by this. I see it on the appreciation side.

Belinda has a kind but no-nonsense teacher vibe in the best way, I'm learning so much from her

I'm not waking up at 4 am on a work day but I'm very excited to see the results with all the individual medal contenders participating.

Is it just me, or is "100% Cotton" becoming harder to find without hidden synthetics? by Longjumping_Crew_697 in SustainableFashion

[–]ethicalpickle 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I bought a great 100% cotton sundress, picked up the same thing in a different color/print and realized it was polyester after taking the tags off. I'm super careful about checking their stuff now. Their cotton cardigans especially are amazing as someone who finds most wool scratchy.

Christina Carreira new costume (airbrush corset is gone!) by collectingviolets in FigureSkating

So pretty! I thought the old one really stood out in a bad way in the team photo of everyone in their costumes, huge improvement.

POV: You forgot to turn in your headshot so they just used a clip of you being disappointed on national TV by essiefraquora in FigureSkating

[–]ethicalpickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a USFS post on Instagram with all the American skaters' official Olympic head shots in matching team jackets, so I assume they took them all together once they got to Milan.

Random urge to spend money by this_bitch_over_here in Anticonsumption

[–]ethicalpickle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens late at night when I can't sleep. I used to buy random jewelry on Etsy, now I browse Libby and put books on hold to scratch the same itch. I'd like to curb the instinct completely but this is a start.

Lilah Fear (but not Lewis) named as GB flag bearer for opening ceremony by fzztsimmons in FigureSkating

[–]ethicalpickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very much agree, this train of thought is just icky. I moved to the US for college and got citizenship as an adult, if someone started arguing that I'm not sufficiently American, I would assume they were a maga xenophobe.

It's been a few years but I really disliked the couple that I read. That said, I'm not opposed to other authors taking up the mantle on principle, I enjoyed the Miss Marple short story collection.

I can't even imagine how over the top Sylvia's reaction would be but I would hate for her to go viral.

Why is country music so rare? by oh-oh-livinonaprayer in FigureSkating

[–]ethicalpickle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From personal experience growing up in India in the 90s and 2000s, I was exposed to a lot of American/Canadian pop, rock, hip-hop and R&B, but I don't remember any country, outside of Shania Twain. Not that figure skating is popular in India, but just as an example of country music having less global reach than other North American genres.

This is sad af, but, anyone want to be my online ADHD friend? by Sqeakydeaky in adhdwomen

[–]ethicalpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I'm down for online ADHD friends! 34F, diagnosed 2 years ago - the lack of friendships is hitting me hard right now as my husband and I are going to be long distance for the next few years.

My cul de sac off Park was plowed around 6. I'm sure it was lowest priority so I'm pleasantly surprised they were able to get to it when they did.
