WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

It really frustrates me that we continue to nominate and give awards for queer content to big AAA assholes doing the bare minimum with their eyes rolling and lips curled when there are so many queer indies out there putting their hearts on platters that get ignored because they don't have the budget

It's slightly funny to me how similar the cards in mine all look, but they really were all formative in my magic career. They more or less cover the decks that taught me fair magic theory (and specifically were the cards that I needed to actively learn how to build/pilot).

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Lasting tarfire redemption arc 🔥🧨

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us. Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Sanctum crushed at this RC!! Mason Buonadonna in top 8 w/ Simic Cub 🔥🏆 @puppydoggaming.bsky.social in 12th w/ Jeskai… control? midrange? you decide 🙂 @mixolydia.bsky.social in 16th w/ Jeskai too! Truong Hai Nguyen in 23rd w/ Azorius Control! @fauxglove.bsky.social in 28th with Simic Cub!

locked in pro tour at 11-3-1 :)

made the pro tour playing dumb cards

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

All deportation is wrong hope this helps.

the idea that politics is just a glorified team sport that can simply be tuned out of when it's inconvenient is disgustingly privileged and has done more to enable the blatant abuse and destruction by those in power than their most fervent supporters

Favorite cards of the year: Gwen Stacy: Figuring out how to slot her into a deck taught me a lot about how to leverage self-replacing, scaling 2-drops Aang: Before now I honestly thought Flickerwisp would never be supplanted as my favorite flexible, interactive 3-drop

lowkey kind of annoyed at Twitch chat (i know, shocker) for saying "someone needs to be fired" when there's a low production quality moment (in this case, a FIN ad, or, well, the top left quarter of one, was shown) the whole problem is instead that they need to *hire* someone lmao

Casting #AC10 later today and I am extremely excited. Casting the first major competitive event of an incredibly high power format like this is so cool and it's so sick that I get to do this! #WOTCstaff

I Love Gender Gender is So Cool It Makes Everyone Happy And There Are No Problems

i agree

Socialization theory has been so utterly mangled that people don't fundamentally understanding it's not Girl or Boy Programming, it's absorbing the dominant cultural values we grow up with. If you grow up in a patriarchal society, you are socialized patriarchal.

We should keep "Humans dying due to State based actions" to games of Magic: The Gathering amiright gamers??

While no Sanctum members made it to Worlds top 8, we still had multiple very strong showings when all things settled this weekend! Toni Portolan finished 14th with Temur Otters, which was good enough for a 3rd place finish in the Player of the Year race! Congrats on an incredible year Toni!

The game is so so so so so so so so so good at tricking you into thinking it’s easy or you have it all figured out, and it’s easy to let yourself believe this. But nearly every player at worlds yesterday after our match was discussing with me what each of us might have done wrong

🔥 She called it Jeskai Burn, and then she won by pointing a Lightning Bolt at her opponent's face just to really make her point! 🔥 Jennifer-Rose Holloway wins Round 5 with Jeskai . . . Control? at #MTGWorlds – catch more Magic live now at twitch.tv/Magic#MTGWorlds

Accessibility nightmare tbh

Mamdani just explicitly shouted out the trans community in his victory speech in saying that NYC stands with them

This is what happened to my Grandfather in Frankfurt, Germany on 9th November 1938, commonly known as Kristallnacht.

Early voting is going on in NYC which means I get to remind the high number of folks who follow me to do the most important chore of all, which this time happens to be able to be done with enthusiasm instead of resigned pragmatism: VOTE FOR ZOHRAN!!!!! Make sure you, personally, actually do this

the wolfey video really resonated with me i think it'll resonate with every woman it's so important that men don't accept and normalize treatment of themselves like this the hyper sexualization of anyone with an iota of a platform is so gross, dude

A full 2% of the American population coming out for a unified protest is incredible

Hey all 👋 my living situation has dramatically changed. I should be fine for a few months, but if you'd like to help me make - significantly increased - rent, then any change would be greatly appreciated. Patreon: www.patreon.com/spice8rack Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/spice8rack PayPal: [email protected]

being trans is not a negative outcome and neither is being autistic

I feel this in my soul. Part of me would love to play competitive magic again but RCQs and online events without community are both incredibly draining.

this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over

Hi all, I left my tote at the venue yesterday with all of my magic stuff, lost and found don’t have it so if anyone has seen it/found it please reach out! Photos attached but is a raccoon tote with 3 deck boxes inside containing grixis, my draft deck and my promos, appreciated @fireshoes.bsky.social

Our team is ready for #PTEOE and we've put a lot of work in! Here's our player list, so you know who we're cheering for this weekend (1/6)

Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

That’s right Wizards, clearly the way to get more women playing is to cut the measly amounts of material support you were putting into projects that actually made a difference, and instead make pink mana or whatever this is going to end up being! Because that’s What Women Want!! 😘💖💖💖💗👌👍

Wizards is hiring for the position of "Manager, Magic Judge Program"! #mtg "lead the strategic development and execution of the Magic: The Gathering Judge Program" "Develop certification pathways, advancement criteria, and continuing education tools for judges at all experience levels."

Congratulations to our team members for some great finishes this PT! We'll be cheering on Toni Portolan tomorrow as he crushes in top 8!!! Phil Li re-q'd for the next PT with a 10-6. Ryan Condon re-q'd for the next two PTs by going 9-7. Paul Green q'd for the first PT next year going 9-7.

I think a lot of people's fears of urban life are fed by the luxury belief that violence is about stranger danger and dark alleyways when it's more often about family and poverty. Any woman could get on the rankest subway car at 1 a.m. and statistically be safer than they are at home

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off. This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive". We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

Important update from @tcgunioncwa.bsky.social. @tcgplayer.com had to relocate their entire business out of fear of the union, & even then they couldn't stop one final union win. Be inspired by these workers. Solidarity forever.

It’s funny, because I instead feel unwelcome in many Jewish communities because of my strong anti-genocide stance. Not once though have I heard a peep of antisemitism from my queer homies. They’re actually pretty fucking nuanced about not tying my identity to the state of Israel. 🥰
