Very badly needed the #rollerderbyworldcup stream this weekend; a good distraction from The Horrors, full of incredible athletes from all walks of life, trans flags and palestinan flags everywhere, trailblazing borderless teams. I know/have played with many of the skaters too 🥰 #RDWC2025
USA - BEL Erstes Viertelfinale #rollerderbyworldcup
2 Tage Rollerderby & kein Spiel gesehen 🤣
Dafür viele nette Menschen & viel positive Stimmung an den Eingangstüren als "Türsteher" aufgesaugt.
