Leading pinball hustler, Eastern seaboard. Once got Hand of the King playing with one arm tied to a concrete block. Plays pinball like Spassky plays chess. Says: "A smart pinball player can beat a strong pinball player 5 games out of 7."
Coin flipping esports is turning into both a fun party game and a solo speedgame for me and I'm not sure how I feel about it

While the IFPA continues to entrench themselves on their decision, they continue to say nothing about how they will move forward, nor a response to the Women's Advisory Board resigning in full.

Competitive pinball has shown no quarter for hate. Can the IFPA show the same?

You don't say

I hope that for every bridge that gets burnt, 2 more bridges will be built. It's clear that the community cares about this, and I hope this rallies the charge for other pinball social media (like HUPchallenge and a handful of podcasts) to join in with their voices.
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.

It should be emphasized, especially to those who wish to continue to support the IFPA and believe that they have made the right decision, that the actions and behaviors of the IFPA organization (+ the WAB resigning) have caused a lot of their friends and peers to lose trust in the IFPA. 1/?

Before I get into other things, I want to acknowledge that today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It would be remiss not to reflect on the sacrifices and struggles that have led us to where we are today. Trans Rights are Human Rights, and I hope to pick up where those who came before me left off.

I appreciate the heck out of the Women's Advisory Board for everything that they have done, and know that this decision was not made easily. While the past can't be changed, we can demand better for the future of competitive pinball.

@macaw45.bsky.social is one of my longest Twitch follows for a reason!
Macaw doing deep dives on stuff nobody else would normally touch is exactly the kind of thing people need to broaden their horizons on games.

You'd think that games based on a British GI Joe knockoff toy line would be all soulless garbage, but no, most of them were making a real effort, at least.

You shouldcast aside any misguided shame and play that adult game that always looked interesting to you. Enjoy something without feeling the pressure of puritan ideology.

Expressing your feelings about such media gives others the courage to do so too.

I have had 2 straight good days at work for the first time since August.

My manager gave me a bag of coffee beans she got from a friend.

My lab results came back and I'm pretty much within female tolerances for hormones for the first time.

I played pinball.

There's positivity out there. 🏳️‍⚧️💚

God after dealing with all this pinball stuff do I ever feel seen by this
The witch made him hot chocolate.

"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."

He took a sip.

"They say I can overcome any hardship."

"Mm," said the witch.

"And I can. I do."

The witch said nothing.

"But I shouldn't have to!"

"No."

The witch held the hero as he wept.

"No, you shouldn't."

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

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

Trans Day of Remembrance is Thursday.

So just a heads up to my siblings that the ghouls will be out in force that day to try to score points with nonexistent people they think agree with them.

Just remember you're loved and you're not alone. Even if it is just names on a screen we're here for you.

This statement from 65 players in the San Francisco scene makes statements about their own recent issues and solidarity for the OBX Fall Flippers situation.

The IFPA deleted it in their own Discord, citing "discussion on the IFPA's response to [their OBX decision]."
