Attitude & Pointe

Dancer/EMT turned roller derby ref. This is what happens when you mix tap & pointe shoes with tac boots & skates.

Muslim, hijabi, human rights ally. She/her.

Out of the darkness, somewhere over the rainbow from Seattle to the Flour City comes a distant cry...

OMG #derbytwitter THE @qcrg FURIES ARE AT PLAYOFFS THIS WEEKEND OMG OMG OMG

Like Fatima I'm not wearing hijab in my passport photo but I've traveled through Canada by car & plane while wearing hijab & I was *never* asked to remove it.

This is straight-up racism. Do better, @AirCanada.

My derby sister Silver A Sassin had to point out to *ME* that my swimsuit could double as a Dr. Crusher cosplay. Can't believe I never realized that.

Whadya think? Sans sunglasses, of course. #StarTrek #NextGen

This is why I use They and Them as pronouns for God. They are the most correct pronouns to use specifically because they do not imply that God has human (i.e. cultural) attributes.

The language we use matters.

@shaanananaaa @spacey_lords As someone who just had to get off the phone with her mom so I could turn all my fans back on...*thippit*

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

@spacey_lords @shaanananaaa Ayup. The times I spent in NV/UT & the SW were hotter than the hinges on the gates of Hell, but with no moisture you could almost fan yourself & be fine. Ancient 2nd flr walkup in a Rust Belt city, I'm reenacting Margaret Hamilton's iconic Oz death scene every day.

@shaanananaaa Some of the northeast metro areas get stupid hot in the summer, especially for those living in 100+ years old tenements. That's why all our huge blackouts happen in the summer.

@ScarletOHurtya Ayup. Reaching the end of it, alhamdulillah.

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

Because diapered #pitbull butt belly-scooting under the coffee table is utterly adorable, that's why.

@RosieDerivator @ATLRollerDerby @lordriv We'll work on him together! UNICORN POWERS ACTIVATE. 🦄

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

When a good friend from your #DragonCon days casually mentions that his friend from @ATLRollerDerby, oh, what's her name...@RosieDerivator has tried to recruit him for roller derby. #OMG #derbytwitter @lordriv

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

@LightningSlim1 Somebody hacked him for it. Oh my. 😎

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

Picked the perfect shirt to wear for my final tour of duty (thanks @frogmouth_inc) & I got to meet a #derbytwitter friend. You rock, @Loxxness! Thank you to @FireStormDerby for allowing me the honor of serving you. Don't forget to tilt your head down if you have a bloody nose! 🧡

@pandascare @WFTDA @MTLROLLERDERBY Holla if you want in.

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

I have a VIP pass to @WFTDA Champs hosted by @MTLROLLERDERBY & a brilliantly insane idea: a hotel SUITE for #derbytwitter folk. We can save mega $ on hotel/food. I'll play group travel agent & even offer free airport/venue transportation. Who wants in? #WFTDAChamps #Montreal

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

@Brutali_Tease @WFTDA @MTLROLLERDERBY Want in?

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

How crazy to find this 2013 Crown City promo the day before my final shift as an #EMT - a standby for the Flour City Fear v. @FireStormDerby game.

Tomorrow night this 25,000+ page chapter will close, #derbytwitter. A new chapter about revolutionary acts of sewing awaits.

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

@ScarletOHurtya @ShadyH4wkins I would totally be down for that. Best part: I'm driving to Montréal, so whoever's bunking with me has free car service. Provided my ambulance driving habits aren't too much for them...

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

@ScarletOHurtya I'd love to do an AirBnB, but Nasira's crate is too big for most guest bedrooms (unless you're thinking of AirBnB'ing a whole condo or somesuch.)

[Attitude & Pointe @attitude_pointe]

Lone disclaimer for those with dog allergies: Nasira will be with me.
