I don’t even think you understand the impact VML had on magic and the visibility of players of marginalized gender. Some of the biggest names that have popped up on the PT circuit in recent years would not be around if not majorly in part due to VML.

We are sad to announce that we have been told by Wizards that they will no longer support us with either funding or invites to Organized Play events.

Without this support - especially the invites - it is impossible for us to continue, and there will be no more VML seasons going forward.

Over the past five years, we’ve radically changed competitive Magic for the better. When we started the program with 26 players back in Season 1, we never thought that we would end up having served hundreds of competitors and with over a thousand people in our community. We have sent cohorts of people to the Set Championships, Regional Championships, and Pro Tour. As a result of our program, representation of people of marginalized genders at the highest levels of play has multiplied from a handful at each event to over twenty who will play at PT Chicago. Several of our team members and players have gone on to be hired to work at Wizards.

We are also proud of the change we’ve created in the broader sense. The Magic community is a much more diverse, vibrant, and inclusive place than it was five years ago. The gender balance at in-person events has improved significantly, and the overall image of the game has changed for the better. We don’t claim to have caused all of that, but we are happy knowing our efforts have played a part.

We want to thank all the organizations who have worked with us and supported the cause: Good Luck High Five, Lodestone Coffee, NRG, Team Arclight, MTG Melee, BOP!, and the many wonderful creators, personalities, and players who have contributed.

To everyone who has been a part of the team here: you have all been brilliant, and without your passion and dedication we would not have made it this far. Every single one of you has gone above and beyond, giving your time and effort generously to the program and you should be extremely proud of yourselves.

Finally, to our awesome community: we’re sorry that we couldn’t keep this projec…

Pooey died yesterday. It wasn’t a surprise, she wouldnt eat and was sleeping almost constantly. But I already miss her so much. I’m happy she had such a long and loving life in our family

Why don’t YOU protest it instead of putting the responsibility on Jews to not get their own history erased?

My whole family is in Florida, we hate these republicans and want to get the fuck out of here but that’s easier said than done (some of us are trying though)

If you have a free weekend, I highly recommend you go see Sinners if you haven’t already. And if you have, go see it again

So many of my go-to snacking things are out/I have to cut way back on, but on the plus side this is might be life saving info for me!
