And just to drive a point home for the #GavinNewsom of this world:
You think that #fascists give a single fuck about #women's #sports? You're finding common cause with people who are unconvinced #women should be allowed to vote, & you're taking them at their word?
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.
I'm a #UNIX sysadm originally (from the late 90s) but started using #Linux 
in 91, bringing early 
dialup internet to #Newcastle with community group hunter #apana.
I'm a #coder, #python 
is the go-to language these days, some #js but plenty of #C and some #golang too.
Ten years ago I landed in #liveevents and #visionswitch / 
#camera #direct #sports presentation in major 
#stadiums along with building software for data-driven #content for use in those environments.
I'm a #ham 
radio operator. Callsign VK2WAY. I'm mostly interested in signals processing and digital communications.
I used to officiate 
#RollerDerby but have streamed it since 2014 as Downunder Derby TV. I still manage socials for and help co-ordinate Queer Roller Derby - @queerderby.
I'm #queer 
#pansexual 
#poly 
#nonbinary 
and use they/them pronouns.
@blogdiva@mastodon.socialY’ALL! Y’AAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!
FUCK YOUTUBE, FUCK MICKEY MOUSE AND THEIR COPYRIGHT BAMBOOZLE! WE’S BEEN ROBBED!
you may need a VPN to see this in the United States. i just columbused the whole LIBERTÉ section of the #2024Olympics featuring #Gojira and Marina Vinotti.
i hate these stupid restrictions, especially when it involves a public good like, not just #sports, but the friggin #Olympics.
here’s the whole 6 minutes long arrangement posted by EuroSport #France

There's a sport called Skeleton racing where you're on a sled with your head at the front lying on your stomach and you're going 80 kelometers per hour and experiencing 5g's of force as you steer and control your sled through a track. Dangerous stuff but it's an olympic sport. #sports
I don’t usually go into #sports stadiums, is this normal?

Tennis legend Serena Williams has purchased a share of WNBA team the Toronto Tempo, which will enter the league in summer 2026. It's Canada's first WNBA team. She joins an ownership group alongside Larry Tanenbaum, the Canadian businessman who is also part owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Raptors and more. “This moment is not just about basketball; it is about showcasing the true value and potential of female athletes," Williams said.
Hello hello !
Est ce que vous avez déjà entendu parler des EuroGames ?
C'est un super événement sportif ouvert à toustes qui a lieu une fois par an dans une grande ville d'Europe qui se veut inclusif. C'est surtout fait pour que les personnes LGBT+ se sentent acceptées, sans jugement, sans harcèlement, sans discrimination.
Ce n'est pas seulement une compétition multisports, il y aura également plein d'activités festives, culturelles et sociales. C'est une sorte de festival du sport inclusif sur 3-4 jours !
Et cette année, ça aura lieu à Lyon du 23 au 26 juillet !! Yeah ! Je fais partie de l'orga et on a mis la barre très haut ! Aussi bien au niveau environnemental (je trouve qu'on est pas mal novateurices) que de l'inclusion car on fait aussi un max pour inclure les personnes en situation de handicap. Et on propose plus de 35 sports !
Évidemment, il y aura un course cycliste que je co-organisatrice et qui sera SUPER fun ! Vous pouvez aller voir les détails de la course ici :
https://lyon2025.com/sports/cyclisme/
J'ai besoin de votre aide parce qu'il y a des sports qui ont été complets en quelques heures, mais la course vélo peine à se remplir. Merci de partager un max ce pouet, bien sûr, j'en reparlerai très souvent ici :)
