1. It's not biological males. It's trans women
2. Trans women are women and should be able to compete with other women
3. If you claim that disc golf is "so inclusive to everyone" then this shouldn't even be a debate
The other day I went to a beekeeper to get 250 bees.
He counted and gave me 251.
I said, "Sir you gave me one extra."
He responded, "That's a freebie."
Yeah. I think I'm done playing disc golf competitively. I just can't do this shit anymore. The community is just so hateful and it's tiring.
I will still continue supporting my friends on tour and put my full support behind Natalie to be able to play in the FPO division.

Last night was so incredibly frustrating. At the same time, it was so heartwarming to see the frisbee community come to my aid. I'm almost basically fully invested in disc golf now, but ultimate people will always and forever be my first family. Y'all are amazing and I love you.
I seriously can't stop thinking about this. The amount of times I've been called a mismatch on the field, told that I needed to lose weight to be on the team, that I've been just disrespected because of my body type is ridiculous. (1/4)
Oh and while I have your attention:
Ultimate can do a much better job of accepting people of different body types. Especially those who are seen as out of shape or heavier. It takes skill and technique to throw a disc, not a fucking 6-pack
This is so fucking funny cuz like... she's actively against trans women playing in the FPO division and cried when a trans woman won A SINGLE TOURNAMENT over her. What a fucking clown
We are in an all-time year for frisbee right now
Empire lost
Pleiades streak snapped
No UNC Sweep
No Seattle in WUL Champ weekend
Karl Ekwurtzel throws flicks now
Only thing that can make this better is if the Mechanix can get a win
I haven't shared this story with very many people, but I just had a feeling to do it now.
A few years ago, I tried my hand at door to door sales in the Atlanta area. I didn't do super well and it was 100% because of the color of my skin. Every neighborhood we went to was

While we were all worrying about the election, a hurricane hit the east coast of Nicaragua. Many lost their homes. It hurts me to see these people that I grew to love while I lived there suffering right now. Send prayers, good vibes, or whatever you believe in to the Costa Caribe
Them: "Who's skull is that?"
Me: *raising it to my lips to take a drink* "A guy named Phillip"
Them: "What's in it?"
Me: "Vodka and orange juice."
Them:
Me: "It's a Phillip's head screw driver"
I haven't decided if I am renewing my PDGA membership or not yet. But if I do, I'll be wearing some sort of trans-supporting merch at every single event I play in or attend until this changes. It's the very least I can do.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading my word vomit and I hope to see you soon on the field or on the course while feeling more like myself and ready to compete. (9/9)
Well. I got the news that I won't be traveling with my team to regionals this weekend. It sucks, but you gotta do what you gotta do when you're having a baby 2 days before. 😁
My 5 tips when guarding someone smaller / quicker than me.
#1
- Get Low - Their advantage is that they are lower to the ground than me, which allows them to be shifter than me. I negate some of that advantage by dropping my hips and shoulders lower than them.
#2
- Use My Body -
It's been 7 years since this photo was taken. In that time we have
Bought 1 house

Owned 3 cars
Driven 4 times across the country
Have had 5 kids
Have eaten AT LEAST 6 tacos
Have owned 7 animals
Let's see what year 8 will bring us. 😘😘
I just delivered a $72 order to one of the farthest reaches of my area and they tipped me $2. When I got there, I find out it was a cop. This is the second time I've been stiffed by cops on this job.

Why is the question always "Why do Black people 'overrract' to these things?" when the question really should be "Why isn't everyone else reacting enough?"
My mom has only ever watched me play ultimate once. And it was like 8 years ago when I sucked and at summer league. But she knows how important it is to me and just paid for my club uniform this season. 😭
A bunch of my coworkers who know absolutely nothing about frisbee kept asking me about the commentary I did for
@ColorofUltimate
. So I posted the link in our group chat and they all watched some and individually complimented me on it. 🥹🥺🥹🥺
