I write about poker, sometimes. I love Italy. Black lives matter. Love is love. No human is illegal. LGBTQIA+ ally. Woke. She/her.

New pinned tweet: I'm looking into buying a cheap-ish (under €25K) property in Italy for renovating, part-time living. Searching now, home will be livable, less than 30 min from sea.
If anyone is seriously interested in doing this with me, please DM.

Remember, Meek Mill was released but still isn’t free yet. He’s out on bail. But why was he in jail? Let’s talk about it.

I stand by my statement that Poker Bunny is treated differently from other players. Not only is she only 23 and had admitted to mental struggles, PN chose to use the word "insane" along with erratic. That's problematic but also bc of the way they label male behavior... 1/

Quite often I’m in my own bubble, living my life… not watching the news, not talking to friends about world issues or what’s happening in the world.
This more recent LGBTQ ideology being pushed into schools and upon young children is one of the most insane things I think 1/4

Nothing will bring Susie Zhao back to life. Nothing will erase the horror she experienced or that which her family and friends will live with forever. But perhaps the swift guilty verdict will provide a little sense of justice.

I know 3 women in poker who have male stalkers. Today. Dangerous stalkers.
1) It's a criminal offense.
2) Men, when you see this behavior, call it out. Lives may depend on it.

Further and finally, men's anger & unusual behavior at tables is usually excused as tilt, frustration, result of bad beats, etc. Why is Poker Bunny different? Think about it. I'm not excusing her behavior but the way it's viewed & reported. /erratic & insane rant

Players will likely need to show their vax card or wear a mask...or both. So...get vaxxed. And buy a comfy mask. If you can put $10K on the line for a poker tournament, you can invest in a good mask. Or just don't play. 🤷♀️

To women playing at LV poker rooms this summer:
1. If anyone makes you feel unsafe, tell the TD or security immediately.
2. If you have a protective order against a player, keep a copy on you at all times.
3. Security will always escort you to your car or valet. Just ask.
