last month's fundraiser was a huge help and things are looking up, but not as quickly as i want or need. today is my birthday and money is still kinda tight. if you're willing and able to support a trans woman in need, any contribution to buymeacoffee.com/pinballprimer is immensely appreciated

I'm 40. I've moved from social media platform to social media platform almost as much as I've moved irl.
Discord doesn't realize how easy it would be to leave behind. Especially once a feature identical alternative exists.
And something tells me that's not quite far off.

Reminder: Trans and nonbinary People are being denied the ability to get our passports becuase the federal government won't accept our legitimate state documentation. This argument flies in the face of all established law in which state and local documentation is not up for federal debate.

Chicago Belles, SF/Oakland Belles and seemingly the entire Pacific Northwest have removed IFPA sanctioning from their tournaments.
More and more places do not feel comfortable sanctioning.
How is this not setting off alarm bells at the IFPA? How is their response to continue to punish players??

How a trans woman's removal from a restroom tore the world of competitive pinball apart
Pinball is one of the most welcoming sports for trans players. But after a confrontation at an arcade last fall, pinball’s governing group is struggling to rebuild trust.

It's not a perfect article, but it has loads of pictures and voices of trans folks, including the first time the victim, B., was even reached out to for comment (the IFPA as of the time of this article still hasn't reached out to her). 1/X

I don't know how many people realize the ridiculous amount of work it takes to organize a 3 day speedrunning event. The fact that ICE Breakers went from idea to execution in 3 weeks is absolutely absurd and one of the coolest things I've seen our community do.

I'm so excited for tomorrow night's episode of Silver Ball Century, and one reason is that it includes one of my favorite machines, Genesis. (It's the act of creation, not the band.)
This week it starts later than usual: at 9 pm Eastern on Thursday night.

Of course, the caveat of one neat Bsky feature is that, if not using PurpleSky, then you have to deal with this grotesque implementation of a feature 😅.
Sometimes they hit, sometimes they miss 🤷♀️.

I don't know if y'all have ever seen the "go live" interface on bluesky.
But it's a great idea!
But SURELY there was a better way to do it than having to put your channel in every time and telling it how long you are going to be live with a 4 hour time limit and the worst drop down ever.

And in setting up PurpleSky, I discovered about a neat Bluesky feature called App Passwords, wherein you can sign in without giving a 3rd party widget full access to your accounts, and even revoke them at any time!
Someone built an automatic tool to change the status when you go live!

I have to stay informed for my safety and the safety of those I care about. I can't fight against stuff I don't know about.
Am I political?
Yes - very much so.
Is it because I want to be political?
No.
It is necessary for me to learn so that I can protect myself. I do not have the privilege to ignore the present day atrocities when my loved ones and me can be tomorrow's victims.

the reason nerdskull refuses to transition is simple — he does not think trans lives are worth living. guess what? donald trump was made president, and i'm still trans, and i'm going to keep living. i'm not going to detransition bc of the law. trans lives are worth living. full stop.

Put a lot of effort in just the first year of competing in pinball, and it certainly has shown. Despite everything the IFPA has done since Nov., I'm not gonna let them make my effort in 2025 go to waste.
