A celebration of the Summit Award, highlighting board games that matter and push the boundaries (like past winners by @fredserval.bsky.social and @downtowntbrown.bsky.social), and what winning it for an anti-fascist game like Land and Freedom means in this climate. sdhist.com/alex-knight-...

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Never not the coolest feeling when I get a text like this.

All they want is to destroy.

Go to a peaceful assembly and a school board meeting. Call your Member of Congress and your state legislator. Vote and post memes. Protect yourself and your neighbors. Be a citizen, participate fully in democracy, and shape the kind of neighborhood, state, and country you want to live in.

Been listening to a lot of Tom Petty lately. It hasn't fixed me yet, but I won't back down.

Can confirm that High Tide is just as fun to play near a tidal river in the Chesapeake Bay watershed as it is at home! I had to check for science.

There's a certain kind of ideologue who wants you to believe the public education system is "in the grip" of school teachers. That educators control nearly every aspect of not just schools but the government. They are liars and weirdos. They are lying to you and are very weird about democracy.

The me that put this load of laundry in the washer had an unreasonable amount of faith in the me that just heard the dryer stop.

Went to a train museum and found some suffrage history. Solid Sunday.

Molly needs your attention, please and thank you.

When was the last time you encouraged a woman you know to design a board game?

What a delight!

This was such a great conversation. Jen and Danni are so smart and curious and generous. Not every podcast episode takes you from laughs to tears, just the really good ones. Head into the weekend with this episode in your ears and maybe a little more hope in your heart.

Being an American means a being engaged in a never-ending struggle for freedom, liberty, and justice for all. It is our birthright and our burden. It is our past, present, and future. Let us celebrate and dedicate ourselves to this struggle today and every day.

Depending on the wealthy for their generosity is like depending on the sun for its shade.

Ex-FBI agent on ICE masking: “Masking has always been associated with police states. I think the masking symbolizes the drift of law enforcement away from democratic controls.” [theguardian.com]

Did Des Moines for a minute.

It has been a while since I last played Votes for Women, so I decided to fire up a game on Rally the Troops. This is that playthrough, with strategy tips and commentary throughout! @fortcircle #votesforwomen youtu.be/3sXq_3JrEuc

Delightful.

OK Go at Union Transfer last night!

Philly for a hot second!

I don't know what's happening here, but I'm INTO it!

People like Mike Johnson, Linda McMahon, and Donald Trump want to pick and choose who gets to reach their full potential and who deserves support. And they don't want to pick your kids or choose families like yours.

"This is one of those games that's better every time you play it." Thank you, Brad & Jess, for this review and all your plays! I also hope your daughter enjoys history as much as you do!!

Another Canadian saying nice things about Votes for Women! boardgamegeek.com/blog/13263/b...

Make sure your browser is set to auto-translate so we can all enjoy this lovely piece by @sharper.bsky.social about Votes for Women and the lessons I've tried to impart no matter where players live. Also, FYI, the very nice Canadians are fucking pissed about the whole 51st state bullshit.

I finally got around to Votes for Women by @downtowntbrown.bsky.social and @fortcircle.bsky.social, and it is absolutely the real deal. Exceptional art and the history is front and center without compromising gameplay at all. Absolutely feels heroic to hit that 36th state and secure ratification.

There a was over a dozen players at the Votes for Women @fortcircle.bsky.social event at Stack Academie last weekend. The winner, of the raffle was, as it should, Amanda Shack. Great fun with @downtowntbrown.bsky.social. Fun game, great crowd. Great hat :)

I had a blast @stackmtl.bsky.social this weekend. The organizers were wonderful hosts, the players were lovely, and Montreal is great.

Inspired by @elizhargrave.bsky.social’s “Designers who are Women & People of Marginalized Genders” BGG GeekList, I have created 7 GeekLists for LGBTQIA+ representation in tabletop games. Please add to it and share it as we get closer to Pride Month! 🥳🏳️‍🌈 boardgamegeek.com/geeklists?do...

I have the @charliehall.bsky.social review of Votes for Women hanging up on the door to my office. It's a banger and served as a real breakout moment for my game from nerdy historical consim grognards to a broader world of hobbyists.

Being in a union is empowering, frustrating, and rewarding. Trying to get 350 of your friends to agree is not for amateurs. But just like anything worthwhile, union membership requires our focus and sacrifice. I highly recommend demanding what's rightfully yours with all your coworkers #maydaystrong
