I think our majority white demographic likes to police & gatekeep spirit through performative measures — are they smiling? high fiving? talking to each other on the sidelines?

@NOISEUltimate are you going to do a reorder of the black and gold memorial jerseys again? I passed mine along to someone who needed it and I'd love to order one again!!! It was my favorite.
Rowdy boyz come up short in the final 11-12 and get 2nd overall. Great fight @PrideofNY. Thanks to all the fans watching near and far!
Postseason is next. More work to do.
@wi_statebird I've had to learn to not care when people demand to know why I'm not drinking - or I'll give them the actual reason and then they feel bad...I usually have to go one route or the other, which is frustrating but I accept it and that gives me less anxiety 🤷🏼♀️
@wi_statebird@wi_statebird being from Wisconsin (and yes for others it is different) having my dad killed by a drunk driver who got off with no punishment (even after 5 DUI's) the cultural "norms" make it really difficult to say no to drinking and also to explain why I don't want to join.
