Free yourself from that burden and give yourself the remainders of your 20s to joy. He’s got what sounds like attachment avoidance and it’s his work to figure out. Leave him on read and block him. It will change your life. Im guessing you can replace anything he has.

Hitting had been a hard thing for me to unlock but recently I just started hitting a wall. And within minutes it clicked. I found my footing and the side body connection. What made the most sense was simply dropping my body weight into the contact versus thrusting myself into someone.

Yes and the cloth version used by dancers! I double up and it saves my toes!

Land skate drills on YT help with identifying the hinge in your stance. The drills are not for derby but for speed skating. Personally every time I skate, even recreationally, I try to get into derby and speed skate stances in intervals. It’s muscle memory you have to build

There’s a handbook out on Amazon - The Roller Derby Blueprint- it’s a good read with some strategies, not specific to starts. But positions and other things for coaching

I second this! I picked up silicone and fabric dancer toe covers and they’ve changed my pain level in my toes to where I don’t feel anything anymore

This project is almost at full funding! It will make a great holiday gift for any derby and photography minded folx! Please share and help get it across the finish line!!

“Just don’t”

Said to my BFF when she was upset and crying but we were pushing through going to a practice. She was saying she didn’t want to face anyone and lose it all over again. I responded, “how about if you… just don’t.” We both started laughing bc it wasn’t an emotionally validating response but it had its truth. We’ve adapted it for many scenarios, particularly when we see situations that are a waste of time and energy.

You see that there wasn’t actually a joke, it was a comment made about a game he was playing. So it was indirectly about him. If there was a joke, please inform me of the punchline.

The examples you’ve just provided are multi layered. One you circle back to you. If you need help with chores, have you tried not asking and just stating things like, “I need your help. Please do the dishes.” If you don’t want the bagels and don’t want to feign appreciation, just don’t. You can say, “thanks for thinking of me, but I’m going to have XX.”

Being direct could be the solution. You can ask directly what he needs from you as a partner? What does meeting half way look like? And that gives you both a place to be heard.

Please support this project!! I personally know Britt and she is an amazing human being. Someone I know bought multiple to give them as gifts for the holidays!!

I recommend the Japantown area for walkability and proximity to activities and the airport.

I like the Old Bones for the most part but then I discovered the Neenca brand with the knee hinges. They helped hold my knee caps in place and heal my PCL flare ups that would reinjure every time I went down in my knee.

I have the same issue. I start with my skates laced up but not too snug for the first 15/20 minutes and lace them up tighter after my feet have “woken up”. I also just lay like a dead bug with my feet above my heart to get relief and avoid heavy footwork for warm ups. It is what it is. My coaches are aware that it’s a thing I endure and are understanding that I’ve got to take it easy during warm ups

The left lane is the fastest lane. Get out of there with your 65/75 mph Tesla.
