I'm so grateful to @deviriberia.bsky.social for a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Barcelona. The Spanish-language publisher of Votes for Women invited the designers of 25 games to celebrate their 25th anniversary, and somehow, I got to be a part of the party.

Joan was the real Dau hero for teaching Votes for Women in Spanish, and I think even Catalan! @deviriberia.bsky.social made sure everyone who wanted to could learn and love my game 🥰

A fire in a commercial building in lower Remington is sending smoke and debris into our neighborhood. So far no injuries reported and hoping it stays that way.

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. 🧵

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 teacher pay penalty continues to grow.

Public school teachers are paid only 73 cents for every dollar paid to similar college graduates

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.

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