This is my league. These are my people. We are training. We’ll be ready.

Chicago Knockouts Roller Derby @chicagoknockouts.bsky.social · Feb 11

We have more feelings than words right now. Anger, stress, disgust, disbelief. Worry for our leaguemates, friends and family. The new federal administration continues working to eliminate the rights of those already fighting oppression and discrimination -- (1/4)

What about the frogs? So we have to give back the frogs? 🐸 I mean, the inflatables have made their way to Broadview & it is much more fun down there now. #thanksportland #imakejokessoiwontcrymyeyesout

Annual tradition- watching this with my kiddo. We LOVE this story. The connection to the past- the meta message of how important it is to connect with others & communicate clearly for understanding- it is really fantastic. #ParaNorman #Halloween #tradition #webothcryeverytime #Aggieforever

Yeah, I hate to make generalizations, but man, all I can think about is how unsafe this is.

Of course, they gave the man a gilded plane, so he will give them whatever they want.

This is why we had all those laws. Too bad there are no rules.

I’m either wearing my skeleton onesie & carrying a sign that says something about the death of democracy, or dressing as a witch & carrying this. (I might get in trouble, but also, worth it.)

We’re not going to make it very hard form them when we gather en masse next weekend. And I can’t help but dress up as a witch & carry this sign when we do. Maybe stupid, but also, feels necessary.

Not that I wouldn’t TRY, but truly, I feel like no one could really accurately capture the hideousness that is him. He is one of a kind. One of the least attractive kind. I hate the way his mouth moves almost as much as I hate all of the lies that come out of it. Ew.

Better late to the party than never. Now get to work.

I could never make myself this ugly.

Sasha Tweel @sashalyn.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah. People are THE WORST.

Sasha Tweel @sashalyn.bsky.social · 2d

Annual viewing of this movie with my kid. It’s one of their faves & since it is, at its heart, about the ugliness that comes from fat shaming, I am always up for it. More than that, though, the love story makes me cry, every time. I understand it with my whole ♥️. #MonsterHouse #Halloween #PWS

Lavender loaf. 🍞

At home with the pets it is simply, “Ma’am!” but “by all means” feels very adjacent so I’m gonna put it in my box of tricks.

It is going to be SOMETHING! Loving this season.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

It’s the frog in the pot analogy…

And those of us who keep trying to hop out of the pot are the delusional ones…

Not even a question. Maybe won’t even have to pay a fee. You know how we love our rapists in this country. These guys gotta stick together. And rape is the most powerful tool of subjugation the war department has. We said they wouldn’t fire at innocent people, and were doing that now, so… just wait.

Sasha Tweel @sashalyn.bsky.social · 8d

Already did. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sasha Tweel @sashalyn.bsky.social · 8d

I mean, many of them are already well documented rapists & pedophiles, & since they’re working on legalizing sexual violence again there’s no reason to be ashamed. Especially if they’re the “war department,” it’s a byproduct of such- the most powerful tool of subjugation they have at their disposal.

Seems like this dude & his cronies have got something on just about everyone. Easy, I guess, when you open up every private server in America & steal everyone’s info…

Can you blackmail the Nobel Prize committee? Because if you can, he’s in.

Yes. @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov The time to act on behalf of your constituents is now.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

He already said he’s out, which is why he’s totally lame now.

Sasha Tweel @sashalyn.bsky.social · 9d

This is a GREAT point.
