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.

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.

They are liars and weirdos. They are lying to you and are very weird about democracy.
