Exciting news, friends! My debut memoir, "Don't Let Them Eat the Baby: Why Roller Derby is the Greatest Sport Never Sold" is finally out for pre-sale on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Powell's! a.co/d/1DhjGad

@MikeMiss25 Is it finally time for us to start a roller derby podcast? J/k I'll never forget how you put in a good word for me, all those years ago. It meant a lot✌️

2/2. Unfortunately, now I won’t be able to do that. I want to thank the many people who listened to me over the years, and the great colleagues with whom I worked. I appreciate every single one of you. It was a blast. What’s next? Podcast world? Who knows. God speed. Go Birds.

Well, hey, everyone! It's been a minute, but I have some good things happening with my memoir. We're nearly 3/4 funded on my debut memoir on Portland, Oregon's Banana Pitch Press. Check out our @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/banan…

@TopTweetTuesday @TopTweetTuesday alright, let me try my hand at this! ❄️❄️❄️

We’d like imagistic winter poems next week that feel very distinctive. 80 words max. Banned words include: snow, moon, ice, frost, tree, wood, roots, glow, shimmers, shining, stars, starry, cold, freeze, chill, hibernate. What can you do? Get poetic but think leftfield.

Hands down Serrano won this fight. Taylor spent more time mashing her braids into Serrano’s cut than she did actually fighting 🤷🏻‍♀️ However…Serrano, I need your jersey asap because you made a new fan last night ✌🏻

@MikeChexx I was in town for literally 24 hours w/meetings, as is my brand lol. I promise next time I'll carve out time for actual fun and perhaps during baseball season? <3

@MikeChexx And somehow, I log on at the exact same time. Fate?

Spoiler: #rollerderby is in this book and you’re gonna want to read it ✌🏻

I heard a woman on TikTok say that a country where rights are on the line every four years isn't actually a democracy. The stakes are very, very high right now.

Excited to finally have this little piece drop about a Philadelphia salvaging legend ✌🏻heritagelocal.org/posts/american…

tfw your forget your father was a drill sergeant in the army and when you tell him you did your 22 mile long run today, he asks if you were able to trick your brain out of feeling the pain 👀

@ElsaElsa Exactly where it falls in my natal chart. Like a lump of flaming lava forming a whole new island under the ocean that you won’t even see until the bottom of your boat runs aground on it.

How's it going with this? Mars in Cancer will tweak the Oct 2nd eclipse in Libra.

Mars in Cancer For Seven Months: Sept 2024 - April 2025 - Angry & Moody elsaelsa.com/astrology/mars… Mars goes retrograde every two years.  Where the planet usually transits a sign in two months, these retrograde periods...

@ElsaElsa Moon conjunct my Uranus and Uranus conjunct my moon. Mercury conjunct my Neptune, Mars at my Saturn…Maybe there really is a Santa Claus?

Christmas Day = Two T-Squares. What do you think?

@michele_norris I’m gonna use this one in my next Board meeting. “Is the strategic plan done?” “No, but I have a concept of a plan.”

Concept of a plan

@contingent_mag @contingent Hey, do we assume our pitch did not get selected if we haven't heard back? Thx!

TODAY is the deadline to send your pitch for @contingent's Hometown Histories series. Please send us your pitch by the end of the day. We'll be reviewing them soon and contacting folks next week. Get them in! contingentmagazine.org/cfp-hometown-h…

Listening to a podcast about nutrition for endurance runners and the first section is called "eat everything." I think I may have found my people.

Listen, this whole hullabaloo about @KamalaHarris eating a bag of Doritos when she's depressed is just so relatable that it's like a Bat-Signal for us GenX women. Honestly. Like, I've heard the call. It's me, I'm here.

16 y/o: You know what mom? You’re right. Me: [slowly turns head] Oh? 16 y/o: Good songs are about love. *Great* songs are about limerence. Me:

I'm just a girl looking for the right cold compression boots. Reality and metaphor aligned, here.

Your politics aside, you need to understand that my 78-year-old mother--the first woman in her family to hold a full-time job and open her own bank account--legitimately thought she would not live to see another woman presidential candidate in her lifetime.
