@coldcoffee oooooo nakrd swimming in heated pools <3

unethical nonmonogamy :/ yeah... luckily I see a positive trend toward change in the community

@ryan_jandr1013 @ToniaThomas OH:

physical definitely. but this is what high level play across the board looks like. Again, not universal, but suffocating defense is definitely popular.

think Am. Football trends towards more stifling defense instead of flashy 49ers of the 90s style flashy offense.

@ryan_jandr1013 @ToniaThomas biggest reason MRDA play is different than WFTDA play is men (who have traditionally been supported in contact and athletic sports more than women) start out with a default higher level of impact surrounding athleticism. While that isn’t universal it does mean that play automatically had harder hitting and more “bursts of energy”.

Higher level WFTDA play has this in spades (so fucking good) but as an average, MRDA play is more athletic and energetic.

#rollerderby

@ryan_jandr1013 @ToniaThomas YES.

Think of it as MRDA derby, the men’s moniker is a legacy name we haven’t quite dealt with.

WFTDA = Women’s Flat Track Derby Association
No men allowed, all women and nb/gq persons and persons transitioning to women who aren’t ... lets say presenting as male/masculine are welcome

MRDA = Men’a Roller Derby Association
NDP “...does not set a minimum requirement of masculinity to play MRDA roller derby” means all gender / gender identities welcome.

Watching the MRDA North American Qualifiers (#tollerderby playoffs) and holy crap every gamr
is competitive and super fun as a spectator.

THIS IS WHY (one of many reasons) I LOVE MRDA.

Cripes y'all I 'm still trying to catchup to and Wenbiesday and I was terribly late on hornt and now there's this 🎾 ball shit going on I can't keep up and I don't understand.

Excuse me, dear gentlepersons of Mastodon, can you slow the rate of memevolution a bit?

This aging internet warrior is having a problem keeping up with "the kids these days".

Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home

@tastymochafox very welcome!

@tastymochafox the Toolshed in Milwaukee (www.toolshedtoys.com) sells very high quality harnesses, including harnesses that are compatible with packers. (They also sell packers)

I've done a few talks there and they prominently feature gender affirming ... toys? devices? (I actually am not sure what noun to use, apologies) and are very willing to give advice.

@shaw Done, cleaned up a few other things as well including grammar and formatting items.

@shaw Great point, I'll revise it!

@ghost_bird Having said that there's ALSO no reason not to commit some sort of feature enhancement developed by Gab back to the Mastodon project so... again, if something in Gab is better, make Mastodon better, then there's no reason to align with Gab.

So yes, in complete agreement with you.

@ghost_bird We had quite the conversation about spinster.xyz and in the end decided to drop it.

The crux of my feeling on it is:
Until some functionality in Gab substantially supercedes Mastodon there is zero reason to use Gab and anyone using it is consciously making a decision to align with the Gab community.

There are enough of them that say the "right" things but purposely surf right on that line and do so on purpose that I have zero interest in allowing for that possibility.

It is done. As is done on Arrakis...

THE TOOTS MUST FLOW
