Two-time PDGA FP50 World Champion. (That's a reference to something that I did in the sport of disc golf.) Trans athlete. Apparently none of this is enough to get a verified check. Meh.

Oh, here's a big hello to any disc manufacturers who are scoping out my profile to see what I'm up to online. Yeah I say what I think. However I also try to say and think things that are true and good for humanity.
If you think that hinders selling frisbees, I don't know what to tell you.

Someone once took me aside to whisper to me that someone else in our disc golf tournament group did not like me.
I mean, thanks, but believe me, I can pick up on these things. When someone only wears their grumpypuss hater face for me, and is cool with everyone else, I get what's happening.

Don't call any group of people which includes trans women* "you guys." Obviously it reinforces the stupid "male is the default setting for humanity" trope, but further, enough trans women ARE bothered by it that why would you even?

I had a pretty good weekend; put in two rounds high enough to bump my standing in the Global Masters Series.

I have cracked the tilapia code. Tilapia is a shit fish. I have been cooking it and trying to bring out its flavor. This was a mistake.
Tilapia is a blank canvas upon which I put the flavor I want to eat. I've been going buck wild with this understanding lately, and it has been awesome.

I don't want to hear a mumbling word about how NOW the right are going to use this latest violence as a cause for some terrible objective, as if they were not already going to do what they do anyway.
This changes nothing of their demented trajectory.

The directions on my instant soup say to use four cups of water. This produces a runny and unsatisfying soup. But two and a half cups of water make a rich one.

If you proclaim that you are "non political" on the topic of discrimination against trans people when that is the discussion, then what you are really saying is that you don't care that trans people are being hurt, and that it doesn't hurt you. You are speaking from a position of selfish comfort.

Your homework assignment is to stop scrolling, stop reading, stop multi-tasking, and just listen to this fucking song.
Preferably with headphones on and your eyes shut.
That is all.

Now that I've had a couple of weeks of looking at the US Women's trophy (the "lighthouse") sitting on my shelf, I've kind of gone through all of the phases of grief: denial (it's not about the trophy), bargaining (kind of cool I guess?), anger (wtf), depression (long sigh), and acceptance.

I'm starting to think that right-wingers don't understand laughter unless it is laughter of derision, or bullying, or victory, or some other display of power. I never see them laugh about absurdity, or at themselves, or with the simple pleasure of a cleverly subverted expectation.
