AHhhh Adam!!! OK that free skate was amazing. That first landing was so clean, and the transition from the slide, breathtaking, but that quad lutz was just .... wow. Yes the quds were great, but that 3Lz was art.

I think it has to be something like that. He's a weird kitty. He also comes running for ancient aliens.

His favorite skating is at about 2 am because that means couch and laptop :)

My cat is obsessed with Tim Burton's voice. He would come RUNNING to watch skating if he was doing the commentary. He is less impressed with others lol however he loves pairs because the movement on the throw jumps is something he is really in to.

Also I just laughed so hard when my phone beeped and I saw this notification. 💜💙💛

Notification that the gay figure skating agenda liked my post

Stories By Alex @storiesbyalex.bsky.social · 3d

I keep trying to find the niche that would enjoy my book. Feedback has been very positive, but there doesn't seem to be the community for gay figureskating romance. Hopefully I just haven't found it yet :)
It's available for free through kindle unlimited

Was enjoying remix so much until my friend, who worked so hard to level up, had almost half his hard work taken by away. So instead of getting rewarded for his dedication and helping his guild, he was punished by blizzard.

I like to recommend short stories as a first. For classics that would be all cats are Grey and all summer in a day. I feel by knowing how someone feels about those 2, you can give some great book refs for sci fi.
