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

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".

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.

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"

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

Knowing what the kind thing to do in a situation requires some knowledge of another person and/or an ability to understand their situation from the outside.
Being nice only requires knowing enough of the rules well enough to pass muster.

The Sweeping Anti-Trans Bills Moving Through Congress No One’s Talking About
Republicans are jamming in dozens of anti-trans measures across a series of government funding bills. Few Democrats have spoken out against them. The failure of Democrats, the press and Gay Inc organizations to raise the alarm shows the need for grassroots organizing among trans people.
