CW: Queerphobia: Just had someone shout a slur at me while I was out rollerblading (hexbear.net)

Let's break this down, he saw me while I was:

On rollerblades
Wearing a rainbow tie dye hoodie
Hair tied back stuck through my helmet
Literally dancing while I do this

He chose to blow through a stop sign to catch up to me to tell me how much of a f-t he thought I was.

Uh...thanks for the affirmation I guess? I think it's pretty clear what I'm up to over here. Glad to know I'm nailing the look I'm going for! I genuinely laughed when it happened and I'm at home now still laughing. Sure, that's harmful language and it has absolutely caused me and others harm and will again, but in this context I just find it fucking hilarious.

Anyway fellow queers stay safe and stay queer out there don't let them get you down sicko-queer

4x80mm. That's what I grew up riding so I figured I'd get back on what I already knew how to do, although that was 15 years ago so it probably didn't make much of a difference. They're perfect though because I'm in a city so I need lots of agility and not a lot of speed, can't go fast with cars and shit around anyway.

I love my 3x110mm's. The sidewalks around my city are pretty uneven, so they work well to pop over lips that are sticking out as well as any old brick cobble sections
