you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

How about some gay thirst for Amber from tumblr instead?

The Cup of China schedule is basically just my work hours but on my days off which feels like cosmic retribution for calling my hobby an unpaid part time job

The original and best white horse, leaping up a wintry Uffington Hill. This picture was taken before the first stage of its restoration.

So Ashley said on The Runthrough that Twitter is full of accounts posting gay thirst about Amber Glenn and we don't have much of that here so somebody needs to go collect a few and bring them over for the... ecosystem. For science.

They might be allergic. Break out in AI generated hives at the mere thought

Idk if this is a hot take because I know some people really like the surprise Olympic un-retirements but I think the ISU needs some kind of rule where if a country only has one Olympic spot for a discipline it can't go to a team/skater who haven't competed in the last four years.

‘Aoraki’ by Monika Mitkute gives me such a warm and fuzzy feeling inside! This piece is currently on show at @quirkyfox.bsky.social as part of Monika’s new solo exhibition, currently exhibiting alongside 3 other mini artist shows until 11th November.

I'm not watching the gala because I had things to do and I love seeing peoples out of context posts about it - gives me just a lil taste of what I put my non skating friends through. Idk why the Chipmunks are bad but I trust you guys and I'm on your side about it. #GPFRA

Happy Figure Skating Grand Prix everybody! 🎉⛸️

I'm so excited to resume my unpaid part time job yelling about skating on the internet, and to celebrate here's 15% off figure skating art prints (unframed, framed and canvas) on my website:

This is true. This is so entirely true and correct. We probably all should feel at least a bit bad. He's trying and art is hard.

But

"the past is not a chain but a thread"

It's just too. damn. FUNNY

i honestly just appreciate that he's tried so hard for the past two years to put himself in his programs and express things he cares about... it makes his skating better even when it's not to my taste (like i didn't like his SP music last year but his SP ruled because HE liked it)

That said, he's on the podium so you know, what do I know I'm just an artist with too many opinions #GPFRA #GPFigure

G Nielsen @gnielsenart.com · 22h

But I'd think I'd have LOVED it if he'd paired it with a more accessible (&less sinewy) short program so we could see some variety in his skating. As it is it feels like his short program is eclipsed by his costume and his much better free and it's not doing him any favours. #GPFRA #GPFigure

I think now I've seen both Adams programs at the same event I can put my finger on the issue I have with him this season - he's just taking himself all together too seriously. I like his Creation of Adam free and I'm down for him to be all high concept and art school about it #GPFRA #GPFigure

watching Ilia's interview after the men's event

my mum: this Ilia kid seems to be very humble

me: he is skating to his own voice.
