a cartoon girl says it 's whitney wednesday in front of a pokemon Alt: It's Whitney Wednesday And Miltank

I am embarrassed anytime I have to catch a Miltank in public on Pokémon Go

These intimate conversations feel so much more powerful and accessible than ever before. It is a tremendous thing to feel unlocked to such closeness with a stranger, simply by virtue of being yourself.

So yeah hell yeah bring it on

My hot take on Universes Beyond is not that it is the “[Disney]-fication of Magic,” but rather the “Magic-fication of [Disney]”.

Insert any IP you want instead of Disney. I understand Marvel characters, Spider-Man, whatever pop culture better because the great team at Wizards knows how to do it.

I can always count on you!

Admittedly the headband color thing will always be a little tough, no getting around that.

But “Donatello is blue and a scientist and has a Bo staff” is suddenly infinitely easier

I can learn anything if it is contained within a Magic frame

These are the important questions that plague me, that keep me up at night, that deliver me to torment

Is Magic: The Gathering finally going to provide the tools and mnemonics I need to internalize each of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles names, colors, weapons, and personalities to memory?

Outrageous that these people get to pull any of this

It takes a thousand years to write a book but I promise I am working on a puzzle book.

Oh right thanks 💞

Too bad Dad never got to see me become the unparalleled gremlin that I have become but also I’m sure deep down he’d respect the game

You promise?

My dad: You can be anything you want when you grow up

Me: Even a MILF in the games industry that plays games all day collects anime figures from one anime writes sad sexy books and puzzle books and goes birding?

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Furthermore:
Hockey teams can be types of trees
Basketball teams are non-bird animals
Football teams are named after local Indigenous peoples because I’m trying to see something
Soccer teams are sound effects

It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it

I don’t watch baseball but somehow by a strange twist of fate I was in a bar surrounded by friends watching that game and lol that was pretty cool

No birds matching “Mariner”

See it doesn’t work if your team is called The Mariners

Go birds

It just makes sense

As President, I would make it so that baseball teams would only be named after birds, and there should be no other bird names allowed for other sports.

Repression Queen by @imharperoneill.bsky.social was such a heavy read, but it's cathartic to learn about others who coped with dysphoria in a similar way to how I did while repressed. It was such an isolating experience at the time, and even now I feel weird talking about it.

Only just seeing this comment now and wow, I’m very glad to have created the right space. I had hoped, when I was writing it, that telling this story with the rawness I poured into it would allow readers a chance to see their own selves more clearly.

“I brought tier 3 Kutzil deck that can win in like just a few turns”

Yeah well I brought a deck that’s just wild animals or a deck that’s just women
