I don't know what I'm supposed to be today. According to right-wing propaganda, trans people are simultaneously weak, clownish, and mentally ill wretches, but also cunning, dangerous, and powerful predators. Which one is it?

How's the disc golf scene in Toronto and thereabouts? Asking for a friend. Same question, but juggling, too. Note: discussion of courses and tournaments (or clubs) across the border in the US are not wanted. The friend will not travel that direction.

What do we do with people who voted Trump and now regret it, not because they feel empathy for the others who are being hurt, but because it is hurting them personally? Those gullible suckers. During the Cold War, defectors were welcomed in and pumped for information, but then never trusted again.

Look to your left. Now look to your right. If neither of the people seated beside you are trans, then you are.

Allegory time! If you dump someone you've been with for years and years unexpectedly and suddenly, and in the breaking-up you don't give them a coherent explanation for why you're dumping them, and then a month later you mail them a gift out of the blue as a "parting gift," are you a big weirdo?

I kind of missed these molds. . . Speaking of, I haven't messed around with non-MVP discs since the end of 2019. What's good these days? Let me know in the replies.

MVP Disc Sports did not offer me a contract of any sort for 2025. It's been a pretty good ride, what with two FP50 world titles and all, but eh.

DiscGolfer Magazine (the official publication of the PDGA) ran a 2-page article about Eagles Wings Disc Golf, a ministry of Push the Rock, an Evangelical org. Push the Rock has (among other things) nakedly homophobic and transphobic statements on their "statement of faith" page. Bad look, PDGA.

Cis Rando: I don't know much about the issue, but I think trans women should stay out of women's sports. Me: Here's links to studies which contradict your uninformed opinion. Cis Rando: (continues to argue with me) Me: Hey, did you not just say that you don't know much about this? Shut up.

It's so awkward when someone visibly goes through a quick time event every single time they have to gender you.

If my rating is just one point better than what it was this time last year, what did I even do?

YouTube has rolled out a new "helpful" feature which cannot be turned off. Here's a section of my inbox of video comments. Those suggested replies in the square outlines are AI-generated auto-replies. YouTube thinks that I would like to just click them to save time. Absolute rubbish.

I find this highly unlikely, YouTube.

It's a nice day outside (if a little windy. . .) so Kim and I are about to go to the local course and shoot some video of us playing a round with just the contents of my Gyropalooza Box. I'll post a link to the vid when it's edited!

Here's the deal: if you're transphobic -- and in this context I mean against trans women competing in the F divisions -- whether you're public about your stupid belief or not, don't talk to me like we're friends when you see me at a tournament or when we're carded together. We're not friends.

Went in to submit my passport application and the accompanying documents today. It costs rather a lot extra for the expedited processing and the fast return postage, but you know, I'm on a tight timeline.

The post brought me something interesting today, and because I'm on Team MVP I can give you a sneak peek inside! Full video to follow soon-ish.

I never did a post-grad science degree, so strictly speaking I suppose I can't call myself a scientist, but I have been an analytical chemist and microbiologist by trade. . .

Well that didn't take long. A reminder to anyone who isn't aware of my style: I don't engage transphobia, bad-faith arguments, and such. Nor do I issue warnings, because I don't want or care to put any energy into keeping track. On the first offense you will be blocked. If that offends you, good.

My 2024 season is probably over, but that's normal, because where I live it's becoming winter. But will disc golf be there for me in the springtime? I don't know. It's not me, it's the government. Will I be allowed to play? Will I be in the United States? Will I. . . be? So much is uncertain.

It's about the Axiom Simon Line Neutron Balance (so many words). You get one in a Gyropalooza box. What's it like? I won't waste your time. This video is an algorithm-defying two minutes long. Rounded up. It's like a short, only good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tn0...

So I'm on Bluesky now. Not much to say yet. If you haven't already, go look at my YouTube channel. youtube.com/NovaPolitte/ It's about disc golf. If you aren't into that, I'll understand.
