Sometimes, motorsports gets it.
SCCA Solo Nats competitor is protested on Day 1 in a ladies class for being trans. Protest committee rules aggrieved party should get fucked into the sun. Day 2 the rest of class shows support for the protested party on way to her first run. She would go on to win.

![A protest form from the Sports Car Club of America national autocross championships, alleging that a trans woman is not eligible to compete in ladies classes for [reasons]. Ruling of protest committee is that the protest has no basis and protesting party is an asshole.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vgjmwvzjdopkybb2ylfkgzge/bafkreihgqslkpkyxar2votxulxz34vlbrhusk3az4pu74rf5w54npugvba@jpeg)

You probably didn’t realize this, but circus peanuts are actually a super food. They’re made from tofu and spider sugar (doesn’t hurt the spiders.)

SCCA Solo Nats Camaro adventure in the books. Shockingly benign when pushed. I coned away a trophy, but that allowed the owner to grab the final trophy spot-HIS FIRST EVER!

Driving this thing at SCCA Solo Nationals and honestly couldn’t be more excited. Took a few shakedown runs today in soaking wet conditions and it’s already created a world-class memory.

My “I was assisting a victim of domestic violence who flagged me down then was walloped by a dump truck” shirt seems to be raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt.

Sorry, I grabbed a wrong photo. This could replace either 5 or 7.

7/end (4 now). L'il Ramius already had water & baby mix. Not particularly interested in either, but knows how to get them, that's good. Mom was a bit rough a couple times, but I'd seen new moms do it before, it's just how they keep they from bumbling everywhere. Now fully tucked under foster mom

6/? She may reject the kid, too. And there's a frightfully high attrition rate for ducklings anyway, so the likelihood of seeing adulthood is low to begin with. I give him one chance in three. I guess we'll have to call him little Ramius if he makes it. Or she. Ramius is a solid girl name, too.

5/? Took her a while, but she finally tucked the kid under her and seems to be accepting the little guy.

4/? So I try another girl, Buckie, who is one of our toughest moms (I saw her go apeshit on a giant blue heron that tried to eat one of her kids once). Made up a box for her, complete with some down and some eggs and her own real baby. Seemed ambivalent at first, but the kid was definitely into it.

3/? So now I need to enlist a foster mom, because the kid can't regulate her temp until feathers start coming in. So I go get Millie, our youngest. She was curious, and gentle with the kid, but she may still be too young and nothing maternal really seemed to trigger with her.

2/? But mom wants nothing to do with the kid. When I brought the youngster and mom down (they were up on a shelf about 7 feet off the ground) she just ignored him and flew back up to the now-empty (no more eggs, no more ducklings) nest.

1/? Some #muscovy #duck drama 4 your Thurs. We have 12 muscovies. Occasionally the girls nest in my workshop, and we take most of the eggs and eat them (because delish). Tonight as I was working on a project, I hear peeping. A single duckling, from a egg I guess we missed, on a high shelf with mom.

To preemptively answer the PR guy email of the future: if you didn’t want us to track test your truck, why did you give it a track mode?

She'll do fine. This one's been in her collar for the better part of 12 years. Parrots are resilient, amazingly adaptive fighters. But you probably knew that already :)

We just had an Escalade with 24s. It felt remarkably good, even towing. Mostly it was just weird that they seemed so proportional.

There's few partners that get basically co-headline billing on our projects. When they do it usually means it's someone we trust, like, and work with personally on project editorial. I went to BW twice in 2024 and spent time wrenching with them and it's just a solid operation all around.
