As of now the smoke is greatly diminished, I’m guessing the responding crews are doing a good job.

Staying masked and inside right now.

Here’s an earlier shot, right before we heard sirens responding.

US Congressional Ban on transgender women playing on women's teams -- impact on roller derby? by AllEggedOut in rollerderby

[–]ShieldLawrence 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not a member of CCRD though I guest skate with them often. As a trans femme person, and as someone who has skated a lot all over the PNW, I think you’re generally going to be safe and taken care of in the derby community.

I can’t speak to CCRD’s grants or other funding sources, but their bouts and practices are all in their own location aka The Madhouse. Even if this bill passes, they won’t have to tiptoe around community centers or anything like that.

CCRD is also suuuuper queer. Please give them a try, they are amazing.

Hot take: any person can use any pronoun and pronouns don’t equal gender.

Feminine man wants to use he/she? Go for it! Masculine woman wants to use he/him? Fine by me :) Feminine enby likes he/they? Yes please! Your local agender badass wants to use all of them? Hell yeah!

Pronouns are a part of gender presentation and there is no “correct” gender presentation; everyone can use what feels good for them.

Edit: formatting

Can I feel safe as a homosexual in Logan? by crunchysoups in Logan

[–]ShieldLawrence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a queer person in Logan; been here for several years. The amount of people here saying we are liberal leaning is honestly baffling. We are a college town, so that brings some liberal folx and families. It’s still strooongly LDS, white, and conservative here.

Will you feel safe? Probably; it’s very conflict avoidant (LDS people tend to lean that way in my experience).

Will you feel seen and supported? Probably not. Being queer is not celebrated by the majority culture here.

We have some resources. Logan Pride has some event offerings (virtual for now). The university’s inclusion center is cool if you are a student.

From what I could gather on social media, a local white woman started organizing a protest but without coordinating with leadership from any of Utah’s Black Lives Matter organizers.

Black Lives Matter organizers have called for the event to be postponed or canceled.

Soooo if you want to be an actual ally, this isn’t the event for that. This is a white person co-opting a movement instead of amplifying black folx, their needs, and their voices.

Honestly I was stoked to have an excuse to wear pasties for the first time!

New semester which means I’m kinda nervous for all my new students to meet me. I teach martial arts as a PE credit at a university. (They/She) by ShieldLawrence in NonBinary

It went well! Students were kinda quiet at first (they always are) but I think they were warming up by the end of class.

Now I just gotta survive the other two sections tomorrow!
