this is what it's like, yeah.

We care a lot about the worlds we get to celebrate, and Secret Lair x Monster Hunter didn’t quite come together the way it should have. We hear you, so we’re heading back to the drawing board to rework this Superdrop. More to come. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

Forgot to take a pic of the first one, but here's my second trophy deck from #MTGxATLA. I don't think I'm going to get away with this again. #WotCStaff

No matter how many more times I draft this cube in the next forty-whatever hours, this will be my best trophy deck of the season. #wotcstaff

but you’re not fighting the bigger fights you’re not fighting at all

The best time to get allergy testing is before you go on an airplane. That way you can have a lot of cool numbers written on your arms for your trip through the airport

Delta just sent me seven emails about the air traffic reduction. If I have to sacrifice my upcoming fun trips, that’s fine. Healthcare, SNAP benefits, and human rights are more important. I feel for anyone whose upcoming trips are more crucial than mine.

If it weren’t significant, you probably wouldn’t need to immediately rush out a NYT opinion piece on four hours’ notice to denounce it…

Got the third statue. Next up, cleaning up the other testaments, prophecies, and achievements.

Another disgusting move.

Emmanuel explicitly says he wants to shift the topic away from trans rights but he does so in the worst possible way. The solution is to vocally affirm trans rights and immediately ask why Republicans are so laser-focused on the genitals of 13-year-olds. Don't shit on college students instead!

this is the point and goal of US policy.

When a group of high-profile Dems reduces the struggle to protect the rights of marginalized groups to part of a parenthetical list of things not to focus on, they don’t just harm the party. They harm people.

Now time for Tactician.

The panel I’m on is coming up soonish, and the game of Time Walk that’s going on right now is fantastic! Come watch and donate :) #wotcstaff

Our stream supporting Trans Lifeline just started! Right now, you can watch Senior Worldbuilding Designer Lauren Bond DM for a party of Magic Designers. More games later, plus panels where you can donate to get questions answered! Tune in: twitch.tv/magic Donate: tilt.fyi/Jr23vhNVE6 #wotcstaff

I’ll be on the panel from 4-6 PM Pacific time tomorrow! #wotcstaff

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

The schedule for the trans lifeline fundraiser is up, and we have a stacked lineup! To get questions set up for our two amazing panels, I'm personally matching the first 1000 dollars donated before the stream (which Hasbro will then match), so use the link below to donate now! tilt.fyi/Jr23vhNVE6

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

With so much talk on here about what should and should not be said in the wake of the shooting, I just keep thinking back to what he would say about me if me or some other trans woman had been executed today. It would have been very ugly and received absolutely no pushback or condemnation.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

I really don't know how to explain to cis people how much it hurts to see something like this every few days. Just so many random famous people who suddenly feel comfortable openly advocating for genocide against my community. And there's never much pushback, either. bsky.app/profile/arch...

In case you for some reason still care what Malcolm Gladwell thinks, it’s not too late to stop putting stock in his bad opinions.

I would strongly encourage my cis friends to read these. I am not exaggerating when I say the last ~6 months or so has been an endless cycle of watching things become materially worse/more harmful every week or so and just having to go to work or whatever and go make small talk.

everybody be quiet, i'm doing something in this draft. #wotcstaff

I sure do love that whenever a trans person says anything negative about Newsom that a horde of people who are locking in Newsom as the 2028 Dem nominee pop up to scold you. Very fun!

I have a song stuck in my head and I blame @billcorbett.bsky.social.

I would have been so annoying about my love of K-pop Demon Hunters in my theater kid days. I still will be now too, but I would have been then.

Slightly diminish a band: Pish

This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. I love the reveal that mamdani’s rent, one he should be ashamed to pay because of his vast fortunes, is 2,300 dollars

Perfect timing

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

I put Relaxo in this gym on the second day of vacation. Since then people have added to the gym and even fed Relaxo to keep the gym afloat. I leave tomorrow. Gamers of Maine, give me back my son

All of these 8/8s people keep posting need more 8s. Here’s a good one. #wotcstaff

Trans women belong in women's spaces because THEY ARE WOMEN.

this simply would criminalize being Latino

The trans panic is maddening, because trans people are expected to defend ourselves with logic science and any sign of emotion is a failure. And yet the anti-trans campaign is nothing but appeals to emotion unburdened by facts, precedent, or empathy.

if I never had to hear about South Park again I’d be absolutely delighted

“transgender people, anytime they now want to use a single-sex facility on campus, there’s now this risk involved not just for themselves, but for the university as a whole…’it would open up my peers and me to potential repercussions.’” great work to everyone involved in this “compromise.”

Over the next few years, you are going to see a LOT of Harry Pottter slop. WB has already thrown a Billion-with-a-B dollars at their new HP series and filming hasn’t even begun. They NEED it to be at the front of everyone’s mind. deadline.com/2025/08/harr...

Forgot to take a picture of the shakshuka before telling my family to have at it :D

“Possibly slightly haunted” is so equivocal. Pick a stance!

if you’re cis & you want to see what the lab is cooking up for the future of US trans people, gwen’s coverage of texas legislature sessions—like for example this session where they put a trans bathroom ban (where no assaults have happened) in front of flood relief (where people died)—is essential.

I don’t know what about being on vacation puts me in the mindset to draft these decks, but I just drew 6 off an All-Fates Scroll. #wotcstaff

nonbinary hiking look

I hope my coworkers don’t mind me wandering around the office singing “Welcome to Mountport” to myself, because that’s just what’s happening. (Because I’m very busy, very very busy…)

Alright folks, we're now two weeks past the Magic Designers for trans lifeline stream, and matches and such are all in. We raised over 15,000 dollars, and in addition to that Hasbro donated over 7,000 dollars to trans lifeline through our employee matching program! #WOTCstaff
