New book! Had to wait a couple of months for the paperback. Am intrigued to get into this one. :)

Spring Recruits programme is live. Come and learn to skate and play the awesome game that is Roller Derby with fabulous people. 💜💜💜 www.rainycityrollerderby.com/recruits

This is what we need to be looking at and I wonder if it is the reason I seem to fatigue so quickly when I'm really exerting myself playing roller derby. It's like I cannot catch my breath despite inhalers. It is feeling like I'm at a disadvantage to other women I play with.

Tickets booked. Excited! Am volunteering at the England tryouts today. :) pretix.eu/RDWC2025/Inn...

Love roller derby and don't forget it's an amateur sport so everyone has to pay their own way. Let's help where we can. 🙂

Trump is blaming diversity policies for the air crash but on the other hand, he wants the best people for the job whoever they are. He doesn't actually know what diversity means does he? www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

So it begins, just as promised. Is the the start of the 2nd holocaust for trans people? This is the erasure of us and our identity which has no validity according to Trump. I'm just grateful I don't live in the US, but worry about the fall out to the UK. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

What a beautiful ankle. Not. 😭 The risk of roller derby is real. I'm a complete idiot for thinking a week's rest after spraining it last week was enough before trying to play again. Lesson learnt!
