One random thought about why I love derby: Having your own derby name/number and having it on your own team top(s) And in my case helmet covers cos I have poor impulse control.

Picture of myself skating at a derby game, wearing a white team top with my derby name “heck a t” pronounced heck uh tee, followed by the number 808 and the logos for Manchester roller derby and the women’s flat track derby association

Very valid. I just basically sat in a maccys and then went to bed this evening lol

Best we got was

Alright folks, let’s ref some derby (practice).

A selfie of myself sat in my car, wearing sunglasses and a black and white striped referee shirt. Part of she/her pronouns are visible on the top of the shirt as well as a trans flag on the left sleeve.

Posting “you” in another country (Inspired by previous posts quote tweeted, have a derby one)

It’s giving this vibes in many ways

You’re always showing up kind of where you’re not wanted but you don’t give a fuck! You’re misunderstood, scrappy and always hungry

I don’t know why but that thumbnail makes me think of megamind. At least megamind was redeemable though

With all the stuff going on in the news, #Artemis 2 is refreshing to see. 4 humans venturing forth in to the cosmos to slip the bonds of earth, beyond borders and all the petty constraints. Also photo taken from a Canberra

I’ve worked for the NHS for over 10 years through a once in a lifetime pandemic. I pay my taxes and do my best to just exist. Yet seemingly labour want to eradicate my community with BS science that ain’t worth the paper it’s written on. What fascism is this??

Abi Giles@abigiles21· Feb 11

Also that isn’t rewriting history It’s updating it - like this statue in Bristol

Cos sure, trans people existing may be distressful. Imagine if this was any other demographic/characteristic?

Abi Giles@abigiles21· Apr 5

Cos LGBTQ people will make a woke socialist post scarcity utopia or something Can you imagine a world without need?

Hi everyone, a colleague of mine in the field is launching a study in to how blood transfusion can affect those within the trans community - those AFAB and who are trans masc, non binary or genderfluid. The end goal is to improve current systems for service users.
