Happy new year, Derby Dames! Tonight is Week Five of Boot Camp, and I invite all Dames to come on out, even if you haven't attended other Boot Camp sessions because it's everyone's favorite... 🧦SOCK SCRIMMAGES🧦!

That means we'll be running through bout scenarios on the track- yes, the track tape is laid out, finally- and doing practice jams in socks for most of the night.

Not that anyone needs the reminder, but- no hard hits in sock scrimmages, of course. Fresh meat haven't officially passed their skills test, so we've still got to be gentle.

If you did get new gear over the holidays- looking at you, freshies- you're still welcome to bring it. We'll be on skates for a bit to warm up.

Two nights left after this one. Skills review and then tryouts. Start thinking about your Derby names! 🙌

Jas, Josie, and I bought tickets to go see Angry Birds 2 in theaters specifically to see this short beforehand and honestly, it was completely worth the cost.

That being said, I'm really excited that it's online now so even more people can enjoy it. If you've got six minutes to spare please watch Hair Love. ♥

Extra love and shoutouts to our dad, Joshua Reed, who took the time (and classes) to learn how to help his little girls with their hair. We love you, Dad!

Hey, Benjy, I've got our future wedding planned.

I've spoken with everyone involved, as well as emailing WFTDA. (I didn't name names to them.)

The League's guidelines are fairly clear on what counts as unsporting conduct. I'm not asking everyone to be best friends. I'm not even saying that you have to like each other or spend a single second of time together outside of the rink.

But respect is mandatory. If anyone disagrees with that, please speak to me privately.

In that vein, if there are interpersonal issues in the future, I would appreciate that they be brought to me to act as mediator, rather than using the town's network to stir up drama. I don't think I need to elaborate on that any further.

Mo and Lorelei are benched from tomorrow's bootcamp.

Mo will be benched the first two bouts of the season.

Lorelei will be benched for the first bout of the season.

If anyone else has any questions, please bring them to me privately. Otherwise, this matter should be closed, and we can all get back to derby.

Anyone happen to be listening to WRAV today?

CASSIA

I've got a proposition for you.

What is everyone reading/listening to/watching these days? I'm looking for some good recommendations.

LGBTQ GROUP

If I planned a Friendsgiving type Brunch and a holiday party with a gift exchange, how many of you would be interested?

REED SIBS

Mom assigned me to bring sweet potatoes to Thanksgiving dinner this year. Anyone want to swap?

JANE

Hey you. What are you up to?

[ZORA]

I know it's sort of a busy time right now with all the birthdays and Halloween, then holidays, but do you think we can figure out some free time for a trip into...at least DC? Maybe beyond if we're willing to put some Super Effort into it? I need your help with something.

[JOSIE]

Babe, serious inquiry time.

I've reached the point in my future planning where I need to make some sort of decision regarding housing post-college. So I want to get your thoughts on all of that since it's a decision that will ultimately impact both of us.

-- It was fun getting to hang with you last night.
-- Tell your cousin I appreciated that disappearing act. Worked out perfectly for me.

TEXTS TO CONNOR

-- Congrats, Prince Reed. 😂😂
-- I've got a question for you.

GROUP CHAT: REED SISTERS

-- I'm calling for a sister day soon.
-- You can still swoon over your dreamy boyfriends and whatnot, but you must do it in my presence with face masks and margaritas.

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

Soooo is it bad form to pay to see a movie and then leave after the animated short at the beginning? Because I have very little desire to see Angry Birds 2 (I didn't even know there was an Angry Birds 1?) but oh my god.

(PS: 4 days until 20. 🎉)

Thursday night vibes.

Regardless of what's going on in life and the world, I'll always have Lizzo.

I don't usually post publicly about this dream stuff, but I'm just...curious. How many of you find a large amount of similarities between yourself and your dream self, and how many of you find that you're completely different from the person you dream of?

I can't decide which one is worse. I'm...very similar to my person, even things that happened long before I started dreaming of him seem to have an echo in these dreams. tbh sometimes it kind of reminds me of that movie Us, like we're tethered to one another, and what happens to one happens to the other in at least some capacity. Only, luckily neither world is a dark underground bunker and also I don't think my dream-self is capable of murdering me or vice-versa. Anyway. Sometimes it sucks, but then I was also thinking it probably sucks to dream of someone really different, too, especially if they were like...a bad guy, or something.

Anyway. I guess I'm just kind of wondering what other people experience on this front.
