regulation dartboards are set to be bulls is eyelevel with the average height -- *of men* -- which is like 5'7" or 5'8".

like idk man i've *never* thrown level at bulls, so like??? git gud?

guy visited our bar one night before his game, was like lightly laugh-complaining to me that our boards are like actually an inch higher than they're supposed to be, & it was messing up his bulls-throwing.

i genuinely "the lady who is 5 ft nothing regularly hits the bulls on these boards?" 'd him

it's also difficult to get a 7-mark or higher in a game of 301 (the guys play 501), so we show up less on the awards, vs the guys, too.

i think the ladies' league actually plays the harder game, we try not to slop points even throwing at bulls left, and supposedly our boards are an inch higher than the regular guys' boards (they can't hit the bulls, because muscle memory > adjustable skills, i guess)

aftermath regularly going live on twitch with the twitch link as the only skeet text, an image of four people in individual video podcast setups.

alt text: "it's us"

ok yeah i guess i didn't actually care to match faces to guest bylines then

typing in a phone notes app while picture-in-picture plays works in a pinch, but it's just jank enough, idk, i want pens & paper

or gdt frankenstein on netflix, i still have to watch that, too

I guess? that or control/lovebombing (at the time he was splurging on me/buying me other big gifts that I wasn't comfortable with & it wasn't until the gfx card fixed my tower issue that he stopped 👀)

just physical destruction?

idk if relevant, but my ex insisted on Ship of Theseus'ing my old desktop tower, buying not just next upgrade but way higher end & all parts at once, so when it inevitably didn't fix my actual tech issue (last to swap, ofc), he got to use that part in his rig.

this past year was like a read/reread kinda thing, because james baldwin (read) & then ta-nehisi coates (reread)

think i want to do Black history in VA this time, but go more sources/books also

but you're not going to hear about the grassroots blue wave work being done if you abandon whole counties because cnn only comes here when the maga-rot makes a good dunkbait story

y'all want a grassroots blue wave? VA has been/is doing it! the past state election was wild b/c so many formerly deep red areas are now at the 50/49 tipping points.

the Dems are barely fucking trying on this side of VA and want to complain that this area goes red regularly? 🤔 tsk, c'mon man. step the campaign game up first.
