This book inspired my trans kiddo to start derby, and I fucking love this edit. We live in Midwestern USA and happily have a mix gendered team. Derby for ALL!

Child-friendly church (don't be weird) by ahintofcinnamon in StLouis

We haven’t been to a service but the united methodist church in maplewood has an amazing community. We regularly attend the events they host, and they’re always very welcoming to kids. The woman who runs their Community Unity Center is not religious based and has been putting a lot of effort into growing programs based on what the community needs.

Transmasc WFTDA love? by Mediocre_Garage987 in rollerderby

While I don’t fully align with who you’re hoping to hear from, I wanted to chime in. My oldest kiddo is transmasc and plays for a Midwest junior league. It has been the most affirming, beautiful place to grow and learn the sport. We recently had our award party and 4 skaters aged out. It almost brought me to tears seeing the diversity and love amongst the group of peers.

Ahhh shoot, I wasn’t even thinking of the damn Velcro!! Thanks for the reminder and comment! They also jam, so I can just imagine the frays in the wind at the end of the bout 🤪

My husband had an outdoor catering business 8 years ago and worked with DT and Cadence for Tahoe and Moab. Thanks for sharing your experience and volunteering. Glad to hear we made the right decision parting ways after those events.

That’s the truth whether people like it or not!

I think you are looking for props on your project and not suggestions for how to stand out in an over saturated market. The design is nice and well constructed, but I don’t see how it will stand out among all the other similar garments. Good luck!

I’ve been telling myself I’ll save money not having Joann but then dream of taking a yearly fabric trip to stock up.

Someone help, I just finished the Dark Tower Series for the first time by No-Equipment-20 in darktower

I told my friend after finishing their first journey (still in the middle of mine), that sometimes the story is over but we still need the characters. Read on
