“The major misconception about modern day roller derby is that it’s staged, like rock and roll wrestling … Sure, we love to dress up but the hits are definitely real. We train very hard to get to the level we play at – it’s definitely a legitimate sport, as much as football is.”

Jess and Lupe have distinct but complementary go-to butch styles.

Max Chapman has one of my favorite fashion arcs over the course of A League of Their Own. You can easily build a capsule wardrobe around her looks.

Carson learns about underground queer bars, Max learns how to be herself and not what others expect of her, the gay Peaches learn they have each other.

Carson learn the consequences of breaking the rules, Jess and Lupe teach Esti how to drive, and Max has the best 24 hours of her entire life.

Max finds family that she never knew she could ask for, Greta learns to be vulnerable, and the Peaches get to say arguably the most iconic five words in sports cinematic history.

“Being in this body, being able to play a fat, queer athlete is mind blowing to me. It’s a responsibility that I take very seriously. I hope and I dream that people like me feel seen.”

If you like queers, laughing, and Bad News Bears sports stories, have I got a series for you!

An Officially Gay League Of Their Own!! Also: queers are now leaving “the big city” by choice, creating boundaries with your friends is especially important right now, and Michelle Obama on managing her depression.

The NSWL kicked off its fourth season this weekend, making it the longest running women’s professional soccer league in United States history!

Take a deep dive into the casting process for the 1992 movie.

Taking our time breaking down Sally Yates’ report on abuse in the NWSL, Brittney Griner has an appeal date in Russia, and abled-bodied leftists cannot abandon disabled solidarity to “move on” from Covid.

With some creativity and planning, you can put together a Rockford Peaches costume that’s fun and versatile.
