Just fuckin relax
Which isn't to say "downplay terrible things" or "ignore danger or problems"
It is just that you CANNOT stay clenched and ready to fight or run or both at all times, your body can't sustain it. You need time to breathe and relax and get some semblance of peace.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

I'm trying to talk more publicly about how much actual sports women (women who play sports) especially those involved in enthusiastically inclusive sports teams, are being spoken over by TERFs who haven't trained a day in their life and are convinced that physical infirmity is a personality trait.

Just after we put out a call to testify @ the state budget hearings on Tues afternoon + evening, the “bathroom ban” bill was scheduled for an overlapping hearing. Reminder: budget hearings will restart @ 6 PM, so you could testify at HB 148’s hearing, then grab a bite, + testify @ the budget hearing

Truly, the more I engage with WFTDA, the more miraculous this sport seems. I can't believe it exists, and proves every day that it could just be THIS easy to have an inclusive women's sport.

sorry you're never going to convince me that there's an overpopulation problem when the problem is clearly the hoarding of resources.

I survived my first roller derby game!!! My legs are so sore but I kicked all kinds of ass as a jammer tonight and I’m very happy about it.
Time to rest and recover so I can do another one next month!

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it.

If you are involved in women's sports, and you're disturbed by the increasing trans bands, the most useful thing you can do about it is complain to your federation, tell them you're unhappy about it, and make it clear publicly that you want to be and to choose to play with trans women.

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵
