Philadelphia’s roller-derby league turned 20 last month. For @TheConversationUS, Colleen English wrote about how roller derby became a revolutionary feminist sport.
The ConversationPhilly Roller Derby league turns 20 - here’s how the sport skated its way to feminism, anti-racism and queer liberationSince its start in 1935, roller derby has evolved from a Depression-era fad to TV spectacle to an unabashedly feminist sport that subverts gender norms.
I came up with a name I would use in roller derby! I can now consider whether I want to do roller derby.
I'd be "Misty Meaner."
Thinking about ways to do geek introductions and I suggested just sharing your laptop stickers. So here's my refurb ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 2.
- #TeamGary drawn by hag
- Arcadia #RollerDerby "Go ARD or Go Home"
- A cartoon corgi drawn from behind looking over its shoulder, saying "Guess what? Corgi butt"
- "I think the world needs a little more kindness"
- Lego Lee and Tes from Doof [doof.org.uk]
- "Well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own Executive Dysfunction"
- UTAW [utaw.tech] Pride
- #NextCloud
- A heart in trans flag colours
- "Love", except the O is a doughnut with sprinkles
- A Sparkle [www.sparkle.org.uk] sticker reading "I am a proud #trans ally"
There's a bit of space for new ones but I hate overlapping them so I'm very picky.

over their border policies.

CBCOntario roller derby teams cancel trips to U.S., saying Trump's 2-gender rule makes it 'unsafe' | CBC NewsRoller derby teams in Ontario say they're an inclusive space for gender-diverse people. Now that a U.S. rule acknowledges only two genders, teams in Waterloo region, Guelph, Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa are skipping going south of the border to compete, calling it unsafe for athletes.
So I should re #introduce myself; used to host my own instance at artemai when that was a thing; decided to get back on Mastodon again because the rest of social is a dumpsterfire.

Philly Roller Derby celebrates 20 years of challenging gender norms and promoting inclusivity. The league has been at the forefront of revolutionizing women's roles in sports since 2005. A kinesiology professor skates through the history of the sport: https://buff.ly/4abw5FP #rollerderby #feminism
Este sábado jugamos en LAS PALMAS, en el pabellón Juan Beltrán. ¡Venid a animarnos! <3
Going to start complimenting the amazing leg strength of my favourite blocker by calling their thigh muscles Magellanic, after the Large Magellanic Cloud’s supermassive black hole.
This hypervelocity star-flinging is like a whip in roller derby: the black hole is the pack, and the binary stars are the blocker giving a whip to the jammer to get them past the pack.
But much faster - no skater I know can get a whip that ejects them out at 1,000km/sec, and no pack has a mass that is 600,000 times the size of the sun.

@amcasari@hachyderm.ioA reminder of WFTDA's statement on gender
"Any individual of a Marginalized Gender, regardless of presentation or the gender they were assigned at birth, is welcomed and encouraged to participate in the WFTDA in any capacity, including skating on a WFTDA charter or holding elected office. Participation as a volunteer or employee is open to individuals of all genders. Marginalized Genders, by their nature, are constantly evolving and changing, so attempting to include an exhaustive list would limit the scope of this policy."

Tid til en #introduktion på #dansk også!
Hej, jeg hedder Gitte, aka Lacrimae (hvis du kender mig fra gaming) eller Mercy B. Coup (hvis det er Roller Derby).
Jeg bor på #Amager sammen med min partner, tre katte og lidt for mange #planter. Jeg har #ADHD, en #nyttehave på Amager Strandvej, og et håb om at genlære at læse bøger som jeg gjorde som teenager!
Jeg er #feminist og #greyace. Arbejder som softwareudvikler, mest SQL (ikke dba!) men også C#; og så er jeg en habil #rollerderby dommer ;)
Alright, #introduction time!
Hi, I'm Gitte, aka Lacrimae (if you know me through #gaming) or Mercy B. Coup (if you know me through #rollerderby). I live in Copenhagen, Denmark with my partner and 3 adorable cats.
I like skating while wearing stripes and whistling, #houseplants. #cats, #feminism, and (bad) puns.
I have (late diagnosed) #ADHD, I'm tall, awkward and suffer from impostor syndrome.
I work as a Senior Software Developer, mostly focusing on #SQL development (no, I'm not a DBA :p)
@alchemistsstudio yes yes yes! I love that we are all doing our best and connecting wherever we are!
I can't forget #rollerderby for the cardio 
it's important when you are disabled and need exercise and community.
My roller derby team has just sent a questionnaire to everyone in the league to learn about any sensory issue that could affect our training sessions and how we learn new skills.
I love this so much, it's such a lovely inclusive environment
