Kitten meet and greets can be so stressful. Like when they really REALLY don’t wanna go in their new family’s carrier so first they almost tear your face off and then they bolt and disappear in the basement. Bless these very patient adopters, I was about to cry.

Went to the farmers market wearing my “Without immigrants Pittsburgh wouldn’t exist” tshirt and one of the vendors effusively complimented me on it — happy to be purchasing delicious apples and cider from good people!

My teammate hit a deer on our way to CT for derby this wknd - she was able to avoid a full collision, only damage was a busted drivers side headlight. However, she was p. upset about it and didn’t appreciate someone yelling “hit her like you hit that deer!” when she was on the jam line.

Co-sign and you’ll never convince me otherwise.
I may be preaching to the choir here on BlueSky but as a cis woman athlete, I want to be loud and clear: trans women are not only welcome in my sport but have made me, my teams, my leagues, and the sport as a whole better.

My apparently unpopular roller derby opinion is that a loss still sucks when it’s a rankings win, in fact it sucks A LOT when the game was also incredibly close and winnable 😒
