I love my family, roller derby, Magic the Gathering, diverse people who care about the equality of opportunities for everyone who feels the same, and the inclusion of all walks of life in a functional society. I also know how to contour properly. They/them

What if… because I still have my curves and because my nonbinary looks like girl… what if my resistance is in makeup like @sonsofliberty.bsky.social suggested in a new post? I love good makeup. #republicanmakeup makes its wearers look like 1980s B movie murder victims.
Frenchie’s signature good makeup - winged eyeliner, properly positioned blush, foundation that matches skin tone, and a fun lip color.

I would die at a work camp.
Work camps don’t heal connective tissue disorders.
I just want to work my tech job, do derby, play magic, and be a parent and spouse.
Please don’t let them take me.

My first promo ever was a planeswalker, and I got hooked on the card type ever since. I can’t believe it’s been almost 10 years since I began playing!

Thank you for being a light in the darkness, #yallstars. I needed to see so many people coming together to celebrate each other and share their love for all things #rollerderby! What a special weekend… I think more jam timing is definitely in my future!

The Costco parking lot on Saturday. The employees were surprised at how many new members were signed up. I live 50 miles from the nearest outlet but I invested anyway because I am thankful that Costco listens. Looking forward to seeing how their Q1 stacks up against Target’s.

Building Commander decks has started to unlock the creativity block I’ve had since my level 3 TBI 2 years ago. Thank goddess.
To my Mother and Father, From Your Daughter/Son If the light outside my home goes dark, I did not go willingly. If the glow from my television fades to indeterminate static, you have not gained your daughter back. You have lost us both, daughter and son, sharing one shrink- wrapped package. You could have had a deal! “Buy-one-get-one-free”, as the capitalists say but you chose instead to revel in the false promises of ninety nine cent eggs over your child’s life. If the red truck has no driver, if the vanity light winks out with no thin hands to change its bulb, if the silence afterwards is louder than fascist cries and firing squads you once had a chance to see what I could have become. I did not go willingly. 1/27 E.R.D. Aka Frenchie

I reported the foulest, most racist content I have ever seen on instagram last night that was pushed to my feed. This is their response. I have deleted as many Meta accounts I can kick without being cut off from the kids that need support who are still there. Fuck you, Zuck.
A reply to my reporting a gross racist AI video that says it doesn’t go against community standards.

I have to be off skates for 2 months soon and it makes me sad. I love officiating off skates but nothing beats a fast breeze on eight wheels.

Hi, #derbybluesky, I’m French Thwarter, official affiliated with Harrisburg Area Roller Derby and Pittsburgh Derby Brats. I am JRDA certified and will be doing games and tournaments again (after #yallstars) in March! If you need an SO of any stripe, JT, or SK, please pm! If JRDA, a PLT comes with!

I chose my wedding dress based on the colors of my Modern deck. I don’t know if I can choose a favorite of the two, but I think I will go with the accent color.

Happy New Year, Bluesky.

Never going back to who they wanted me to be in 2025.

Being brave enough to do this again.

The confidence my mother doesn’t want to see. The confidence I didn’t have when I was actively playing. The first time I jammed (twice) in a game since I became involved in #rollerderby 14 years ago. “Hey, look [world], I made it.”
Frenchie is wearing a referee jersey and a grey and black star helmet cover and smiling while pushing a wall of 3 skaters dressed in red jerseys.

I wore this makeup as a blocker. I might take the track again today, so I brought it back.
