It’s going to depend almost 100% on your comfort. See if your derby friends will let you try their skates/wheels out so you can test the different things!

I'm sorry, but this complication will only get worse and you will just love it even more. <3

Luckily, I take up the whole track in this shape 😂

This was almost 20ft out. I was the last line of defense!

One of my favorite derby photos of me blocking. Pointy-butt rarely wins, but I know it definitely did here!

Blue star with Best of the Region logo. Vote SSRD for best sports teams in the region

roller derby friends,
Help @ssrdbleedblue.bsky.social win Best of the Region Best Sports Team again this year! You can setup auto texts and forget about it until March 23rd 😉

We beat the Gary Railcats, (minor league baseball team) last year AND we were the first female sports team to win.

My league, @ssrdbleedblue.bsky.social, made it on CBS Chicago today as one of my first press releases as the Marketing Committee Head went out and now I feel like I can’t possibly top that. Guess I’m done?

But also, come skate with us!

I am actually so envious of this. I had these as a kid and want them back!

As I work to get our league on Bluesky, I wanted to make sure this was shared.

There’s a lot of scary things happening to our friends in marginalized groups, and we aren’t about that. We will continue to build and cultivate an inclusive space. The pack is all.

I’m a strong 6

tax time is the worst.

This is 100% how I pay my bills so I don’t need to navigate 100 different websites, logins, and passwords to pay my bills. Plus, proof of payment all in one spot is the best.

but will you fill the mug with cheese as well?

Okay Sanderson, after the emotional turmoil of the last 30% of Well of Ascension, Hero of Ages better be the amazing ending you claim it to be in your Preface!

Of course, I’m sure it will be.

This gives "For that matter, any masturbatory emissions, where the sperm is clearly not seeking an egg, could be termed reckless abandonment" vibes.

Thank you, Elle Woods

gotta make it *almost* difficult to decipher like Permablast Email or something 😂

but unlike professional project management, you get to hit the people you have to manage sometimes. which does make it that much easier 😂

derby’s back and i am dying. you’d think i would learn to stay active during our winter break.

until then, enjoy this photo of my board and I at the Best of the Region Awards event where we won Best Sports Team! (beating the Gary Railcats minor league baseball team 😉)

okay Brandon Sanderson. I have some words for you…😑

*imagines the very loud “conversation” with my 3-yo about bread being “cold toast”*

yeah, 2 or 3 tracks for sure.

sometimes I’ll just be casually and comfortably reading The Well of Ascension, and then my jaw will unhinge like a snake at what I just discovered 😳😧 #booksky

Is you not being able to DM us something fixable on our end? 🙏 🥺

I pull the mask just far enough away from my face that I get some fresh air in there between jams and while I’m on the bench/not near people. While skating, it doesn’t really bother me. wind or something? who knows.

because it feels like the world is the bad place today, have a pup. 🐶

TIL derbytwitter was a thing…

Over 100 refugees who were scheduled to be resettled in Indiana have seen their flights canceled in the last two days. Refugees make our state stronger, and the bipartisan support for U.S. refugee resettlement has been a pillar of our nation for over a century.

only 2 cups? 😟
