Does anyone have some good links for gear, apparel, commiserating, etc? I’m a fan of bruisedboutique.com, they have good Fresh Meat Packages at reasonable prices.

I just fall into the “wanna make out with all of the above” group. But yes. Derby is awesome. If things work out, I want to try out this next year… because yes.

I’m trying out in the fall! Provided I, uh, learn to skate first. But the local derby girls assured me that they teach newbies, so! Hopefully that’ll happen. Anyway, YAY DERBY.

Cool! I’m Fresh Meat in an LA league, and I love it! Derby is awesome.

I guess you could say I’m a wannabe derby girl? I have skates and equipment and practiced briefly with a team that has since dissolved. When I move out to Denver in a few months I am going to practice my ASS off so I can try out for the Denver league!

Twin Cities Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoOh man guys I just got back from the senate judiciary committee hearing on the same-sex marriage amendment ban the republicans are trying to get on the 2012 ballot. I almost cried like 10 times because the testimonies on our side were so awesome. Trying to find out if there’s going to be video or a transcript available online.
-
VIDEO UP! Look for “Friday April 29, 2011, Judiciary and Public Safety, S.F. 1308 (Limmer) Constitutional amendment to recognize marriage as union between a man and a woman.” Seriously I think politics are boring and frustrating but I didn’t hate taking two hours out of my day to listen to this. Unfortunately in the video you won’t hear all of the…[Read more]

That sounds awesome! It’s so ridiculous they’re trying to get this on the ballot. And right NOW of all times, I mean it’s really just a distraction from the budget problems. I would’ve definitely gone to that hearing if I was in Minnesota. I’m studying abroad right now but I’m coming home in a few days. I definitely signed up to volunteer with…[Read more]

Yeah it’s really frustrating. I also think 1) they’re trying to push it through while there are Republican majorities in the House and the Senate, and 2) they’re doing big, attention-getting wedge issue stuff to drum up excitement for the 2012 election and get conservative voter turnout to avoid losing those majorities.
-
Also NEAT where are you studying abroad?
-
Yeah I think you’re right about both of those. Except I don’t know how well that’s going to work for them–trying to get conservatives to come out and vote. I mean, I think it will bring out a lot of liberals, too. Especially young people who might not otherwise vote.
I’m studying public health in Geneva, Switzerland!
-
Hopefully you’re right! It would be nice to go back to being all liberal and happy and not afraid of getting our rights taken away by the guvment.
That’s so cool! I’m planning on going back to school for nursing next year, starting prerequisites this summer. I work at a nonprofit sexual health clinic in St. Paul. What do you wanna do in public health?
-
Oh hey sorry crazy week. Your work sounds very cool! I’m not sure yet what I plan to do. I’m still in school but will probably work for a bit after that and then go to graduate school for public health. I’m really interested in maternal and newborn health, though. And sexual/reproductive health too.

It’s pay-what-you-can and there are gonna be lots of cool people there, including myself. It’s kind of like a get-together for the Misrepresented Sexualities Club – bi/pan/omni/trans*/label-free/polyamorous/non-monogamous/kinky etc.

I love Bruised! I am lucky enough to live a half-hour away from them, and they are the best. Like, seriously, Boston Massacre skaters will tell you their gear secrets. Ana Wrecksya fixed my skates last week. *swoon*
Plus, if you are a sponsored league, you get 10% off. I love them!
