I’m your weird blue-haired aunt. Here to chat about roller derby, cats, books, and community building. Probably killing a houseplant.

Current 🏠: Denver, USA
My mother used to make our costumes. She alternated years for who would get a new one, and it was always a treat to watch her at the sewing machine.

The adhd interest wheel spun to jigsaw puzzles these last few months as I’ve been recovering from mono (0/5, do not recommend).

A few recent finishes:

Still thinking about the incredible job the Rocky Contenders did on Saturday against our friends from the Boulder Bolters.

Good job showing up, Colorado.

Hope the staffers in my reps’ offices enjoy my new postcard book, Accidentally Wes Anderson. The literary ones I’ve been using may have been a bit too esoteric.

Yeah, your job is ‘cat furniture.’ Perfect afternoon!

Minnow tried to help me watch earlier

Watching Y’all Stars and writing postcards to Wisconsin voters. How’s your Saturday, #derbytwitter #derbysky?

Wrote a roller derby coaching LOI, but think I should delete it and instead send cat pictures.

Coaching philosophy and skills? Demands for food and deploying the knives in my feet.

My last SVRG BoD meeting (transition!) with Rawr, Luna, Pow Pow, and DJ. We did big things and I’m sad they didn’t last longer. RIP SVRG. #derbysky #derbytwitter

Chronic illness is stupid, but the dog coming to snuggle when I’m burrowing is a treat.

Rat City Roller Derby S19 opener. I’m excited, the dog? Less so.

I took a screenshot of the chart because I could see this today (never know with that place).

I am very excited about the black cat scrimmage top I just ordered from @pointsevenfive.bsky.social.

Idk if I will be able to skate again (soon? Ever?) but I just cannot quit you, roller derby.

Snuggling a pet is the best medicine.
