Now this is how you end a close fought game! I’m still a little heartbroken for Victoria, but do still love Rose and wish them well in the final today. As for Scald Eagle and Lady Trample here? I wish them ask the best and THEY ARE ADORABLE.

I am so so so sick of TERFs in roller derby. I’m tired of y’all spreading your vile transphobic shit all over the place. Clean it up, get out and go home.

There's no space for hate in the sport I love.

I know that this doesn’t meet WFTDA’s media requirements but I couldn’t help it… I love this!!

True teamwork.

WHEN YOU KEEP FAILING YOUR WFTDA RULES TEST.

Hope this doesn't happen tomorrow. Tryouts are at 8:30 and I've been on the practice test for hours.

From Raw Heidi’s Facebook page:

“Yesterday I played my final game with my team, my heroes, London Brawling. Very appropriate and fitting that it was against those epic neon babes Montreal.

This has been a wild 8 years with my incredible league London Rollergirls. I’m so inextricably linked with our extraordinary global community that we have built with our bare hands, that we’ve poured our hearts, our souls, our tears, our strength into and dedicated our lives to. I’ll never fully leave you roller derby, and it’s just about breaking my heart, but our relationship has to evolve and I am excited to see what adventures lie ahead for me without you dominating every aspect of my life.

Every one of us came to this sport looking for something, I was one of those who didn’t even know they were searching. And what did I find? I’m not sure I’m able to put it into words, but I can tell you that it’s so, so beautiful and so, so important. It has brought me opportunities and moments I never dreamed I could experience and I will never let that go. And I want that to go on forever, I want everyone to have the chance to experience this kind of joy - so go forth and kick ass on the track and off it and continue to be the caretakers of this beautiful thing we have created together. I believe in you, I’m proud to have shared this journey with you by my side.

Thank you for everything, you have changed my life and I will always be grateful.”

27 in 5 update

So… we will be doing our laps every Sunday morning. I'mma need to get more sleep on Saturday nights and get a good breakfast in the mornings!

I’m not sure of my times the first several times I tried this, but I hit success for the first time at tryouts in February. My most recent times(starting with that tryout time): Feb 2016 - 4:47 4/3/16 - 5:01 (totally annoying) 4/10/16 - 4:55 (I know I can do better than this! Hate to make excuses, but I chaperoned prom and part of after prom last night and got home at 2:30 am.

Because I know I can do 27 in 5, my goal is to push it to 28, but I have some work to do to get there.

Made the local paper's coverage of my league's 10-year anniversary bout. Also converted three new fans that night in the friends who were sitting behind me.
