I know I've only been playing competitive pinball for not even a year, but in that time, it's come to mean a whole hell of a lot to me. Getting involved in local tournaments has led to a lot of wonderful new friendships. At ClePin, the women's tournament was such a welcoming and safe environment

Stealing this wording from my wife: signatures appreciated and meaningful if you have any interest in pinball as a sport, and particularly as a sport that's fair and inclusive for *everyone*. c.org/6hBpyV8DNh a recap of events in the link to follow (minus the awful statement from Josh Sharpe today)

Follow-up to recent events in pinball (Kineticist had a decent summary which we'll post in a reply): signatures appreciated and meaningful if you have any interest in it as sport, and particularly as a sport that's fair and inclusive for *everyone*. c.org/6hBpyV8DNh

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

I gave the IFPA my view of the trans-exclusionary OBX pinball tournament. I reject the notion that it's the responsibility of trans people to compromise with transphobia, and also reject that it's just a "women's issue". arborelia.net/ifpa-obx.html

We at the Triangle Belles and Chimes would like to remind all that trans women are women, and trans rights are human rights. This weekend at Flippers in the Outer Banks, an egregious violation of the IFPA's Inclusion Policy happened during the tournament, where a player was harassed. 1/4

Killers would have an easier time on Columbo if they didn't spend the entire time being like "Oh Lieutenant Columbo you small and rumpled rube you do become tiresome, especially when we have the note from her typewriter clearly indicating she knew Dr. McCarmody was going to murder her that night"

I LOVE YOU AND IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT THAT NOTHING BROKE YOUR FALL. BUILD SOMETHING FOR THE NEXT VISITOR. TAKE THE TIME TO DO IT WELL. WHEN WE DIE WE COME BACK AS OUR OWN VICTIMS. GO EASY ON US. WE LOVE YOU.

Just so y'all know how ridiculously good at this @keeva.bsky.social is, she made us matching badges.

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

No. Ignore this. You are capable of reading books again. The brain is highly malleable and you only need a few screen-free weeks to recover your focus. You will be amazed how quickly the hunger for reading returns. You will be inhaling words

gender is a performance that a lot of people only get through by imagining their audience nude for some reason

deleuze said “the lives of academics are seldom interesting.” be bored when it's time to be bored. it will help you get your compassion back. you won't need ai. you won't need these dead fake choking things to smother you into ease. you will wake up. you will get back in practice

You're so nice You're not good You're not right You're just nice

“why is it all or nothing with you?” because its our fuckin’ lives! its not being “closed off to new ideas” or whatever bullshit pete’s interns are posting today, its our fuckin’ lives! and you quite openly can’t feel any sympathy for that. you just get angry, or at best smugly dismissive.

I, too, had bad luck with my parentage.

A gentle reminder in case you need it: No one is mad at you, everything is probably okay!

what if me, but big

being gigantic is fantastic

do you ever just sit around and think for an entire day about how people say "This Is Going To Hurt Me More Than It Hurts You" and think this is a pretty normal thing, that it softens the blow, but actually it adds guilt to the physical pain, makes your suffering into an ATTACK on your parent?

oh no we waaaant

trans women will compliment each other with total sincerity and honesty and then disbelieve any compliments paid to them even if they know the universal truth that all trans women are hot merely due to the fact that being yourself makes you 10,000x more attractive, they will insist they don't count

reality before creation is apparently a girl with great vibes

“That’s what I’m here for. To give the spirit flesh. The reality is in this head. Mine. I’m the projector at the planetarium, all the closed little universe visible in the circle of that stage is coming out of my mouth, eyes, sometimes other orifices also.”

First page of a new autobio comic -- based on feedback from a friend, I feel compelled to clarify, "yes I'm okay." If I weren't okay, I wouldn't be able to write or draw! That's when you need to worry! This is me making fun of myself! [end disclaimer]

ok so an important thing i really think people on bluesky need to hear about the anti-trans megabill the tl;dr is that you could actually turn the tide of trans rights in america right now but if you don’t act now, then we’re all cooked indefinitely please read on 🧵

I need my cis people to realize that "Trans rights" are material, not metaphysics. We deserve access to HRT with informed consent, not gatekeeping. We desrve bodily autonomy. To not be fired, exploited, or evicted. To not be discriminated against.

yeah I’m into ttrpgs

This is why the U.S. will never dismantle white supremacy. They so badly want to hold on to the part of it they like...
