Young team, clean SP. Good for you, Mcbeath/Parkman! Also, this is the first time in several years there hasn't been scary lift incidents at an early season event (that Ican remember). #GPFRA #figureskating

She's been like this for 10 minutes. That is my wallpaper. #oranchlife

Orange cat staring intently at a big computer monitor displaying a gray rock wall wallpaper. Being a very formal cat, she has her tail neatly wrapped around her front paws.

On to the pairs SP and Peacock seems to have a crotchcam filming the warmup. Oh, the glory of the forward button #gpfra #figureskating

I'm just not feeling Sakamoto's choices the last few seasons. She's skating to the music and hitting the beats with the choreography and it all looks very nice but she doesn't seem into it. Kaori! Skate to kpop or electronica or whatever you have in your earpods off the ice. #gpfra #figureskating

Levito's team has managed to morph from pretty pretty princess to a more sophisticated look with Cinema Paradiso etc but its basically the same thing and I feel like without more creative/interesting material she'll get lost in the crowd of Japanese skaters with the same vibe #gpfra #figureskating

You can't have a women's event without asscrack sparkles - thank you Schild! That said, I'm digging this Stairway to Heaven thing. "I am going to skate to this rock warhorse and make it elegant because I'm a French weirdo™️" #gpfra #figureskating

Am in love with Nakai's SP. Perfect costume, a layback spin seen in the wild (not perfect but almost there), lovely choreo. It manages to look fresh and ebullient and also old school in the best ways. #gpfra #figureskating

The armchair edgies have never been to an actual organized protest so they totally miss the part where experienced people disseminate info to normies about concrete next steps/small community actions. People are so hungry for that. There was a ton of positive learning happening yesterday.

Us Olds made sure those who were interested got whistles and information on ways to keep going

Going to bed stoked from yesterday and waking up to no helicopters this morning is truly a gift.

I saw so many organized groups of young 20somethings! Also, on the packed train back to the nabe just before most of us exited, a young voice piped up and said "We left the house! We got out there! We did it, everybody! Let's keep going!" and the entire car broke into cheers.

Pretentious weirdos abound in the men's discipline. Ilia is one of them but I find his brand of it boring. #GPFRA #figureskating

What is it with the "I just rolled in mud" trend in men's costuming? That said, Adam is on muddy fire! #gpfra #figureskating
