This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, banning trans people from bathrooms, and declaring trans existence to be child abuse.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president that has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked gestapo and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. The world witnessed ICE execute a mother and a nurse and then lie about what we saw. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.

scans: 5 Komaya (こまや) flyers from Japan

I love Komaya machines!  Many of their machines make me think of pre-war trade stimulators. Spin Ball and Rock 'n Roll are essentially gambling machines, but wouldn't you much prefer to gamble like this instead of at a computer screen? Mountain Climber is a much-loved action game.

Thank you to Gerry Halle for scanning these for me. 

flyer: 1981 スピンボール (Spin Ball) by こまや (Komaya)

flyer: 1981 山のぼりゲーム (Mountain Climbing Game) by こまや (Komaya)


flyer: 1982 Rock'n Roll - ロックンロール by こまや (Komaya)
