If you want to learn about how figure skating works via the medium of incredibly charming gay anime, may I STRONGLY suggest "Yuri on Ice" (which is available free on Youtube)?

I just saw Alan Cumming speaking eloquently about Heated Rivalry and the need for many more types of queer stories and now I’m imagining a world where he does a masterpiece mystery style intro to some gay show from around the world on PBS. This is the world we could live in

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

i've been thinking about this very topic for weeks, aaand indeed have a piece coming soon at @fansplaining.bsky.social to this effect. will Heated Rivalry finally persuade the tv industry to acknowledge the popularity of pure genre romance!!!
when I talk about how this is truly the only show to have a romance novel structure, this is what I mean: every other romance adaptation turns the fundamentally, crucially narrow focus of a romance novel into a broader tv world. this show feels different because it does not.
I wrote about a show about love. Maybe you've heard of it.

Sleet is inevitable Sunday-freezing rain is what worries us.
Sleet bounces off trees & power lines. Freezing rain glazes them & that’s when outages become a risk. It's like a sprinkled donut (sleet) vs a glazed donut (freezing rain).
Freezing rain risk increases late afternoon, esp E/SE of Beltway

got through a 6:30 AM pre-ice storm grocery run and the only things I didn’t manage to get were cilantro (0 herbs. None. Nada.), heavy cream (dairy was totally wiped out, as anticipated), and a rotisserie chicken (likely due to timing, not the storm).
But BOY HOWDY folks are stocking up!

I've said this a couple times in interviews lately but it's annoying that the lesson publishing will take away from this isn't "invest in more specific, niche, and/or weird books that cater to an under-served readership." It'll be "MORE SPORTS" bc that's a variable they can quantify.
