Same girl. New site. Queer, polyam, bi-polar fangirl with eclectic tastes.

Vidder. Multifannish AF. Kind of obsessed with figure skating. Once got a concussion from a cat.
Pinned
I'm in two vastly different starter packs, so Intro post time!

Hi, I'm Cat. The cat in my icon is named Dreadful. He's an adolescent in that picture, but he's now 18.

I'm a queer, polyam American immigrant to Canada.

I'm currently surviving on a diet of fanvids, figure skating and bibimbap.

The media is being insufferable to all three “blade angels” and people in general are being horrible to Amber. Y’all aren’t welcome in our house.

since olympic figure skating has been so stressful this year, here is a thread of soothing and beautiful figure skating performances! in no particular order and pulled from various sources, since many skating videos on youtube are geoblocked in the US

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.
Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Damage was minimal but police are investigating.

Watching short track replays and very much seeing how squishy those speed skating boards are.

On Saturday, @metuiteme.bsky.social helped me clean my disaster of a bedroom. We put all the cat toys we found in a pile on the bed.

Where Chesterfield promptly peed on them.

So now he has the cleanest cat toys in Ottawa

"X is my villain origin story" is overused but istg the presence of Russians in figure skating actually makes me a worse human

I fucking love Alysa Liu
I really just want to be invited to the gala, so I'm just putting that out there! I have a really cool gala I'm working on.

[Asked if she's thinking about a medal]
A medal? I don't need a medal. I just need to be here and present and I need people to see what I produce.

I love Alexandra Feigin's dress and that ending position was great but there were more struggles in that program than she wanted. #MilanoCortina2026 #FigureSkating

Sitting in a waiting room for an ultrasound when I'd much rather be watching the women's SP. Hopefully I'll be able to join live for the later groups.
