Calling all skater nerds! Submissions open...

I'm in a kickass mini zine! Riot Grrrls, Guerilla Girls, Skater Girls and more... so rad!

So stoked on Isaac Bjorke's book review for UChicago journal Portable Gray! Thanks bud! #skaterlibrarian #skateboardbooks #womenshistory

Last year I received an unsolicited video of my buddy breaking his leg skating. So, last week I reciprocated with a photo of my gargoyle face, post-trigemenal nerve attack covered in shingles. I was scorned and reprimanded!! Why? Is the plague not on par?

Thanks so much @jackie-wong.bsky.social and @thetyee.ca for the opportunity... it was a fun article to write! Happy IWD 💗

Next week, I'll be presenting for the Toronto Public Library via Zoom. Register today! *TPL library card not required

Shared some backstory for the book with NBN. And scheming some book talk fun for women's history month! Fun times ahead...

This describes quite a few people I know... guess what you're getting for Christmas 😆

The kind folks at The Walrus published this feature over the weekend! Thank you! #skaterlibrarian thewalrusca.substack.com/p/meet-the-l...

Posted this 6mo ago & just recently, through other skateboarders, came across @natalieporter.bsky.social on here! She has a book now called 'Girl Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides: A History of Badass Women Skateboarders'. You should check it out. We’re gonna indy bookstore it! 💙🛹 tinyurl.com/Girlgangs

Wrote up a little feature for Jenkem mag last week... grateful for the opportunity! www.jenkemmag.com/home/2025/10...

The book is officially in print!!! And what a beauty! So happy and grateful 🤩

So grateful to call @colenowicki.com my friend!! Stoked to see an excerpt from my book on Simple Magic. It's one of my fav stories that merges Patti Smith and skateboarding back in 1979...

Yessss!! Zine librarians unite! Last year was awesome 👌

Wrote a behind-the-cover article about the book! Cover is pretty sweet though... #skaterlibrarian #skateboardhistory

I absolutely adore Barbara Kingsolver. So wise and generous. Read ALL of her books and this article from The Guardian. #wisdom #BarbaraKingsolver #DemonCopperhead www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

This week, meet the Wreck Deck, Chloe Covell and Arisa Trew strike gold, the Berrics is back(?), Walker Ryan authors a new video part, and more. www.simplemagic.ca/hes-not-just...

Every librarian dreams of being published, and I'm so grateful to @ecwpress.bsky.social for supporting my research and book called 'Girl Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides: A History of Badass Women Skateboarders.' Pre-ordering is now available. tinyurl.com/Girlgangs #coverreveal #bookssky #newbook

New skill! I just built my own book index... a tedious, obsessive task that I absolutely loved doing. Helped that it's been raining for 3 days 🤪 #bookbrain

Thanks again for having me!

Awesome initiative! Like the appreciation for zines, too.

Looking forward to this conversation with Talia and getting nerdy!

#SLOTY 🤣 Still waiting for my copy but getting close! Feeling especially pleased that I snuck in a shout out to @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social in response to... Read anything good lately? #Thrasher #interview #skaterlibrarian

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Found this photo from 1996. Vaguely remember meeting these two girls, Shelly and Andrea but we obviously were stoked and started skating the streets of Collingwood Ontario, stumbling upon Elvis fest! Happy IWD.

Had to do a special feature on my fellow Slow Impact panelist Jessie Van Roechoudt... Canada's first pro female skater for Rookie! womxnskatehistory.ca/2024/12/15/j...

💘This week, @natalieporter.bsky.social on Worble, Evan Smith on IPath, a whole bunch of nice things, an original poem for Valentine's Day 2025, and more💘 www.simplemagic.ca/a-chemical-t...

An elderly woman eavesdropping at the grocery store expressed her concern over my decision to be interviewed for "Flasher" magazine...!! Surreal days ahead. #smalltownrumors

Hard to contain this feeling of euphoria and joy... just completed the review of my copy-edited manuscript! 97000 words and 30 years in the making. Ahhh! Thank you @jensookfonglee.bsky.social and @ecwpress.bsky.social

I mostly do research and write skateboarding bios, but sometimes I don't... #skateboardhistory #skaterlibrarian womxnskatehistory.ca/2025/01/21/r...

The fabulous #RachelKushner from her latest, #CreationLake... "I stopped reading news articles. I stopped watching videos. My new rule about drinking had been an attempt to rid myself of a crippling attachment. The internet was yet another crippling attachment, and so I banned it." #booksky #goals

Momiji Nishiya’s debut video part was one of the most significant skateboarding moments of 2024. Natalie Porter of Womxn Skate History explored Momiji's historic resume and the cultural significance of dropping video parts after making the Olympic podium. 📝 skatebylines.com/2024/12/28/n...
