I get to go play* roller derby on Friday night!

I'll be a skater member of a roller derby league starting this week and I ... wow. It's been so long.

And not just any league, the friggin' Rose City Rollers- home of a five-time world champion team. I will not be a world-class skater any time soon (or ever, probably) but it's still gonna be awesome.

*it's a skills practice, but close enough

Went to Rose City Rollers' Junior Derby Discovery Day and now both my daughters want to play roller derby which is obviously the worst possible thing that could ever happen to me in my life.

Guess I need to brush off the stripes and get some new gear.

What I did during the #blackout in Spain: I re-read “The Rules of Flat Track Roller Derby” #whatididuringtheblackout #poweroutage #rollerderby

In two weeks, I will be traveling to Wales and England to play Roller Derby in an away game against Riot City Ravens in Wales and two 5 Nations Roller Derby Games in England, hosted by Bristol Roller Derby. I have two entire Roller Derby teams behind me who I am proud to be part of. I will be defying all "guidance", diktats or laws from the British Government on the segregation of trans women while in GB.

#introduction for my lovely new server.

I'm David (most contexts) or Stacktrace (#RollerDerby). I'm a software engineer at #Slack and I love building #FOSS (#Python, #Django, #Rust, and #Nix).

I made:

- stave.app, volunteer management for roller derby.
- paytransparency.work, tracking pay transparency laws.
- bibliothekai.ktema.org, cataloging translations of Greek & Roman classics.

My non-tech interests are #AncientGreek, my beloved #dachshund Mishka, botanic gardens, and #SciFi.

TIL: Don't use Araldite to repair skates. It's not flexible enough and makes the problem worse when it breaks. Sigh.

Can anyone recommend better glue that can take the compression and strain?

#TombOfDragons again. Still.

I really, really want to be listening to the audiobook. Liam Gerrard's character voicings are in my head whenever I take the time to really enjoy a sentence or a phrase.

But I have a deep need to inhale the whole story NOW, and the audiobook would take too long.

(I may begin listening to it during tonight's #rollerDerby commute.)

(I am at peace with the prospect of getting nothing beyond the distinctly necessary done today. It's fine. It's FINE.)
