On @tcm tonight...the "cult" classic Roller Boogie!
Description: A Beverly Hills runaway (Linda Blair) and her roller-skating partner (Jim Bray) protect their disco rink from mobsters.
I am sure you all are slipping into your skates right now.

The bank-tracked league in which I'm a rookie @azderbydames needs help. Give a little to save our space? Help us continue to bring the sport & the league's work with youth & free meals distribution to Phx? Pls share this story, #derbytwitter friends. "#Rollerderby changes lives."
Derby Dames turn to community to preseve Arizona's only banked roller derby track azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

It’s taken me 6 months to figure out how the lack of derby is truly affecting me, because I don’t miss the skating per se. Community is a huge loss, but what is truly fucking me up on a deep emotional level is missing the feeling of empowerment of doing something I’m good at.

We’ve all heard about how #coronavirus has impacted major sports leagues, but how has the pandemic reshaped community-level leagues, like roller derby? @devoneylooser, an @ASU English professor, joined the @GlobalSportMtrs podcast to discuss: ow.ly/OZij50BnCBP

Last night I dreamed I was interviewing the late Jerry Seltzer, #rollerderby impresario. It happened thanks to this lovely, real-life radio convo. Thx @cw_byu for putting something fun in my unconscious mind for a change! #derbytwitter @azderbydames byuradio.org/episode/70ec66d…

Major league sports have been bankrolled through the pandemic, but community level leagues are less fortunate. In Arizona, sports like roller derby are still struggling to resume safely. #DerbyTwitter @devoneylooser @GlobalSportMtrs bit.ly/31BGT6h

"At first, like most of us, I found Zoom so inadequate. I missed seeing my new team in person, & I missed learning how to skate the banked track. Now practices on Zoom seem like a lifeline." —@ASU English's @devoneylooser in @GlobalSportMtrs #ASUHumanities ow.ly/sEMT30r0cR9
