@CaitlinComeskey I wish you luck in advocating for change. Stand up to the backlash. I couldn't and finally exited the industry almost entirely, but you're stronger than me and have much more support. If you ever need a friendly ear, my DMs are open. xo

FYI, I unfollowed everyone except a few general media accounts. I'm only on X for news. I still get notifications for DMs and messages.
Friends, please follow me on FB or IG if we're not already linked, as I'm on those platforms regularly.

@IanSimpsonPoker Thanks, Ian.

The cruelty on here...wow. The use of AI and memes taking the place of people's sincere words and thoughts... The disrespect, the personal attacks, the elitism and conceit... I'm okay with having faded into the background and now finding that exit door.

@sunkimstone @WPT @ClubWPTGold I'm rather stunned by the trajectory of this, actually. It's sad to watch.

@SaraSmartist @PokerListings I'm not clear on how AI refines an idea but okay. I've never used it, nor had the privilege of research assistant. I guess I'm just surprised that an op-ed is not something that comes directly from the heart & soul.

@SaraSmartist @PokerListings I have to ask... how much of this is AI?

[WriterJen is Only on X for News @WriterJen]

@abbypoker_ @AsianPokerTour @BetMGMPoker That's how you handle your business! Congrats!

@tjreidpoker I'm so sorry for your pain - past and present. I'll be thinking of you today and going forward.

@SaraSmartist He's not really know for his sensitivity to matters of importance to others.

@RobKuhn_ Social justice warriors? Those three words explain your position. Conversation (not that there was one, really) over.

@ASchwartzPoker @berkey11 That's what I've been trying to say. TY

Abby is a fresh face with fresh content in poker, always trying new things with humor & open eyes & willingness to learn. She posts a strong opinion, tho, & she gets wildly attacked, far more so than the original ClubWPT Gold company post. 🤦‍♀️

[Abby Merk @abbypoker_]

another unbelievably disappointing post from clubwpt gold. part of having a platform is knowing how to use it. what could possibly have been the point of this except for to get clicks by demeaning women?? “gto players took this from us” as if this is what you WANT TO SEE WOMEN REDUCED TO??? sex symbols in the industry? lame as f. do better. @ClubWPTGold @WPT

@RobKuhn_ @berkey11 Picture 1: she's feeling cute & takes a selfie. Picture 2: she's doing a joke video. She's also not the World Poker Tour, a global brand with 25 years of history in the biz that's supposed to be all-inclusive. What is your point?

[WriterJen is Only on X for News @WriterJen]

@berkey11 I'm sorry, Matt, but it's in no way the same thing as ClubWPT posting that video. The only reason Abby doing jumping jacks is "sexualized" is because she has breasts. And she's aware of how that looks, so she's mostly shielded. I really don't see the comparison.

@RobKuhn_ @berkey11 Excuse me? She's doing jumping jacks. How is that the same as twerking all over a poker table?

[WriterJen is Only on X for News @WriterJen]

@berkey11 She's doing half jumping jacks, mostly covered by Stapes' jacket, because it's what she agreed to do as a part of the game. How is this the same as the ClubWPT video?
