Why do you skate &/or participate in a skate community? ¿Porqué patinas y/o participas en la comunidad de patinaje?

Shout to @ThisIsTheRead for putting me on to #RollinCLT, Charlotte, NC’s first Black-women-owned skate rink becauseofthemwecan.com/blogs/botwc-fi…

Wow, yes. I think I would fit in really well in that category. Nothing is right up my alley. How’d you guess? 😂😹 Can’t wait to start mentoring listeners about all things nothing. Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate pod fans like you so friggin much.

I am feeling gratitude for those—past and present—who build community in rollerskating and for those who sustain it. There is no “us” without you.

Hi y’all, who (or what) are you thankful or appreciate right now? ¿A quién (o qué) estás agradecidx o apreciando en este momento?

Talking to some folks from the Colorado Shiners, the state’s first BIPOC-only roller derby league. Got any Qs to be A’d?

This is wild and unjust.

@Stakselrod @modega_cat *ran, not voted

@Stakselrod @modega_cat True. I was going to say David Patterson but I can’t remember if he voted for a second term on his own.

If Cuomo resigns can the LaGuardia airtrain project go with him?

The NYS Office of Mental Health released a very informative graphic on how racism affects our bodies. When you’re asked or you wonder why anti-racism is necessary, please look here. #derbytwitter

the outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which I never truly believed before. 🤍
