So excited to announce I will be starting the Her Turn TCG program!
Her Turn will provide free coaching, mentorship, and support for the next generation of female competitive Pokemon TCG players. My goal is to increase the presence of girls in Pokemon so that seeing multiple girls at top tables is the norm, and being a girl isn’t our defining trait as a competitive player. This starts at the younger divisions, by encouraging them to stay with the game and to grow their skills. Currently, I am looking for 4-6 girls to begin the program. Anyone is welcome to apply, but priority will be given to those in the junior and senior division. If you know anyone who would benefit from this, please share it with them! Link to the application is attached!

@clash_with_cat@ClashofClans I'm still sad about the Halloween tombstone that I removed, thinking that the tiny amount of elixir would disappear along with the obstacle
I never publicly comment on political matters because they are usually irrelevant to my work of providing hurricane data and forecasts to people in my personal capacity. Today though, it is highly relevant, and as a member of the meteorological community, I am angry.
Planned or ongoing bulk workforce cuts would irreparably harm the National Weather Service, NOAA, and their scientists who save innumerable lives by warning people in advance of tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, tsunamis, blizzards, and other life-threatening hazards. Many of you reading this may knowingly or unknowingly be alive today because of their work, or know someone who is. As a direct consequence of wounding the NWS and NOAA, the public would be less safe.
My personal mission to bring hurricane science, data, and forecasts to the public would not be possible without the weather observations, doppler radar stations, computer models, hurricane hunter aircraft, and weather satellites provided by NOAA and the NWS. Your favorite weather apps, TV meteorologists, and private weather companies would also be unable to function without this data or the civil servants who live and breathe it to synthesize it into public safety information.
All of these benefits cost each taxpayer the equivalent of a few cups of coffee per year, and surveys show most would be willing to pay much more. The American weather enterprise saves many, many times more money than it costs to run, making it one of the biggest bangs for your buck in the government. The impact of quality weather forecasts and infrastructure on society is multiplied many-fold by preventing economic disruptions, keeping public transportation efficient, and providing lead time to prepare for and mitigate disasters. Most importantly, it saves priceless lives.
Careful, long-term plans to streamline or reorient the weather enterprise in an evolving world are not bad, but *this plan* is insane. A feverish rush to take a cleaver to this workforce is self-destructive and dangerous to Americans who rely on the services they provide. It also cuts off the legs of young, passionate scientists who represent the future of meteorology in the new age of AI and other emerging technologies -- the very people we need in the field right now.
As a part of this community since the age of 8 when I began analyzing hurricanes with dial-up internet, I am heartbroken and concerned by what appears to be planned or already in motion. It also directly impacts my friends and family. I cannot be silent, despite knowing I do myself no favors by speaking out. I ask you to join me in advocating for @NWS and @NOAA if you value their work or the work that I am able to do because of them. There are many ways to make your voice heard.
That's all for now, thanks for reading.

I think they're going to people who subscribe to his newsletter

What he didn't tell you is that this result was one of the lowest ones I've seen. Given that he only surveys his constituents in the Villages, this actually shows that fewer people are still supporting him
I vividly remember my first ever regional opponent. It was a girl probably a few years younger than me in seniors at Memphis 2017. During set up she laid out around 10 of the same goomy card along side her mat. When asked she said she just like goomy. Hope she's doing well
@ClashofClans I got 2 dark elixirs (about 10,000 each) and regular elixir (about 500,000). I'm trying to be positive, but whatever excitement I was supposed to feel is disappointment instead
@ClashofClans Thank you for listening and acknowledging the decoration storage issue. Please consider reducing the cost of the shovels or some way to address that issue.
@ClashofClans I love the idea--however--I'm inundated with decorations, and the shovel is way overpriced. The dice decoration was well done. Bring down the cost of the shovel
