Damn, traveling by train makes me realize a lot of people don't have common courtesy. Its 7am. I dont want to hear your phone call, or watch you spread across 4 seats on a sold out train. The audacity is astounding.

Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.

I'll be at OrcaCon this weekend and I can't wait to see all my friends! But- recovering from a big surgery takes a lot of energy so I may just be chilling somewhere. If youll be around let me know!

Finally sat down and put on Lily Allen's new album and it is *chef kiss* 10/10. The beats are boppy and the lyrics raw as hell. Obsessed.

Finished up the quarter and now I have *checks calendar* 8 days to relax before I have a hysterectomy. Gonna be a different holiday season this year thats for darn sure.

Update- the Torrent won at home and our goal song is Paramore. If you need me I'll be shedding emo girly pop tears.

I woke up bummed none of my teams were playing hockey today. Then I remembered that @pwhltorrent.bsky.social has a game tonight and instantly my mood changed.

Annual Reminder: DO NOT GIVE MONEY OR CLOTHING TO THE SALVATION ARMY THEY ARE A CULT & A GRIFT, AND THEY'LL LET A TRANS PERSON DIE OF COLD OR HUNGER BEFORE GIVING THEM FOOD OR SHELTER FUCK THE SALLY ANNE

Listening to the House of Representative live stream, and lort some of these people are delusional as shit.

Tomorrow join me and @jackrosetree.bsky.social for a “special morning edition” of the stream! We will be testing out some fun things on BGA 😄 10am Pacific on Twitch! twitch.tv/jess_ccg

I wish more people realized that when you have a chronic condition that is triggered by stress and its your senior year of college, the whole shit storm that is the US, and raising a kid...it doesn't go away or get better. Its been a downhill fall for weeks at this point.

Here's the thing. If Kids eat free because of SNAP at your restaurant, please feed their fucking parents too.

Watching Pearl, and sometimes I feel like that level of delulu is needed. So far its weird as hell though.

Wind storm, coffee, slasher films, and capstone project. Could be worse.

Our Department of Financial Institutions is asking financial institutions to work with consumers during this uncertain time with an ongoing federal shutdown and layoffs.

The highlight of the day is listening to @alisonl.bsky.social break things down and John Forslund explain things to the newer fans. This is the commentary I want in my hockey games for sure.

Can we discuss the new Haley Williams album?! It deserves more publicity and praise.

I am OBSESSED with the story already.

One source sent me equivalent pre-shutdown emails from 2018 and 2024 and the contrast is wild -- those are just "we know uncertainty is tough, we are working on contingency plans, etc" and this one from *every* agency is just EVIL DEMOCRATS WHO CONTROL NOTHING ARE SHUTTING IT DOWN

File under "Fuck, I Wish I Thought of That!"

Pondering the type of bride who would do this

Billionaires are still bad. There is not a singular good one.

I continue to be dismayed by the number people who insist on building a 'community' while advocating for corporations, bits of plastic and their own complacency over the safety and livelihood of real people.

I am *not* built for heatwaves and sweaty elbows yall. I am dying 😭.

I am a few days behind on some gaming news....but what in the actual hell? You know what would entice women/femmes to play? Not fuckin this. mtgrocks.com/hasbro-ceo-t...

GenCon has always been a good reminder of the privileges in being able to regularly attend such conventions. But it's doubly so now when so many aren't safe traveling to the US. I'd love to see more publishers and communities finding ways to extend opportunities for networking and accessing info.

To my Canadian Snowbird peeps…🇨🇦

The statement on why CGE decided to make a new Harry Potter Codenames game despite the harm JK does on a daily basis might actually be worse than the fact that they decided to do it in the first place. 🙄 www.czechgames.com/news/why-we-...

Don’t buy this. This product will directly fund the hatred and oppression of trans individuals. In fact, stop buying all CGE games so they reconsider placing profits before people.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. We will gladly no longer carry Codenames and CGE games.

If you participate in Codenames streams from now on....you aren't an ally or supporter. Super bummed CGE didn't read the room and chose a cash grab instead of having a backbone and some sense of moral compass.

It's pronounced 'levio-support your trans friends and stop giving Rowling money'.

hi cge, i have been a huge fan of your games since last will, adrenaline, and all your incredible party games. your company has always been very nice to me and helped me when i was a young games journalist who was just getting started in board games i have very strong emotional connection with-

Hey, so I am semi-retired from disability advocacy, but in light of what happened today, I want to talk about what it actually means to support disabled people. Lots of people thought that, until today, when you become disabled, there is a safety net waiting. That has never been true.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

The Big Ugly Bill has passed. Over 11 million Americans will lose healthcare. History will not be kind.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I pray if you voted for anyone who voted for the Big Bullshit Bill that you never need Medicaid, never need rural healthcare, or anything else. I am disgusted by the vote and the fact that only 2 Representatives even cared enough to vote no.

Zohran Mamdani has inadvertently set the bar real fuckin' high for what I'm expecting from Tacoma's mayoral candidates

Fact: many disabled people are unable to save their way out of poverty due to outdated asset limits.

Living in a country that is actively shooting journalists is a hellscape that is horrific. There aren't words strong enough to describe the anger and frustration I feel.
