people need to start getting mad when people imply women only play cozy games. they're putting you into the domestic labour class even in video games bro.

tbh the reason a lot of grassroots' women's sports are often filled with queer women & are very accepting of trans women vs professional industry leagues often staffed by men is in part because grassroots women's sports tends to embrace the homoeroticism of play

IFPA employee to women’s state reps and others begging for them to make a statement regarding their entire Women’s Advisory Board quitting and the reputation of IFPA among women and queer players being completely on fire. Thanksgiving is next weeeeeek c’mon they’re just a lil governing bodyyyy

I’m kinda risking burning bridges with some pinball industry contacts by making this video, but the entire Women’s Advisory board for the IFPA just resigned in protest, and we need to talk about this.

I'm really good at deleting my morning doodles, but I've gotta start getting comfortable with shame- so here's something I would've normally tossed.

It is funny how many people will choose self immolation rather than giving trans people the bare minimum of respect and protections.

References are the lowest form of humor but an esoteric reference. Something incredibly niche and out of left field that you know the creators love that material with every fiber of their being? That’s the good shit

It is v interesting that the Kineticist is reporting on this without noting that their click chasing posting and willingness to post unedited leaked message logs given to them by Josh Sharpe/IFPA is one of the straws that broke the camel’s back for the women’s board. Hope the clicks are worth it!
Last night, November 19th, in response to the ongoing controversy around the OBX Fall Flippers Tournament, the remaining members of the IFPA Women's Advisory Board officially resigned. Read their statement here.

The entire IFPA women’s pinball board just resigned, if you’re wondering how well things are going in the competitive pinball space.

I’m feeling better now. Had a nice cup of tea. Def better now that I am not in the midst of a lil mini meltdown.

10th out of 68ish for League.

I have league finals tonight and I still haven’t decided if I want to participate. I don’t want to let bigots push me out of one of my favorite things. But also I have become very disillusioned with competitive pinball. I know my local people mean well. But also I am tired.

the hardest part about being trans is being forced to accept that your family probably kinda sucks, whereas if you're cis you can likely tolerate only seeing your lead-poisoned uncle a few times a year because "oh he's family". we don't really get the comfort nor convenience of cognitive dissonance.

I'm still processing the part where the pinball tournament we looked forward to all year, was one whose local players fantasize about shooting trans women

A friend of mine, a disabled trans woman, was detained by ICE in Charlotte yesterday. If you have anything to spare, please do.
