If you or someone you know is knowledgeable about the trading card market (as opposed to TCGs) and would like to help slow JKR's oppression of trans people, I would love to introduce you or them to the @blockcollectives.bsky.social group to talk about Upper Deck's Potter trading cards. LMK!

Just watched One Battle After Another for the first time and man if that shit doesn’t hit so hard today…
Great movie from last year. I’m not even all that familiar with PTA films but now I have an interest to watch more of them!

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Next Tuesday, I am launching a 7-day campaign for a collection of four handmade #TTRPG zines.
These are all small-form, one-page, 8-fold, no-staple zines with full games in them.
I'll explain the four zines in this thread.
Thanks for sharing.

Spin Master, The Op, Hasbro, and countless others are on the hook.
Don’t touch their games with a 10-foot-pole if you really care about who you support.
They should each be made to put out their own statements and plan actions for how to resolve their unforced errors.

I hope more companies, including those already currently producing HP products, realize just how much harm they’ve committed to their own brands.
Only we can hold them accountable: for example, by not purchasing from them, and discouraging others from doing so.

They still plan to make *multiple products* as they have already announced. They made no promises of what they’ll do with the IP in the future.
Just because a game doesn’t exist right now, or is “planned” right now, doesn’t make it any less possible they decide tomorrow or next month to make it.

And this goes without saying, but even if what Upper Deck is saying is true and they don’t make a *game* with the IP—we still have just as much of a responsibility as a community to hold them accountable.
This doesn’t stop being important insofar as a game exists out of it or not.

The truth is, there’s not enough out there for decent people trying to make great work.
Companies that use the goodwill of our players and supporters to grift their agenda of hate deserve to eat shit and die.

And it turns out JKR is in the Epstein Files lmao
As if the HP IP wasn’t any more of a dumpster fire, I’d say it’s time to take out the trash where it belongs.
The boardgame industry cannot lend any water to those willing to drink out of the same cup as fascists, bigots, and child rape defenders.

Precisely the problem. You can and likely will in the future. WE DON’T WANT THIS.
And this isn’t *just* about concerns of a game coming out from you. Please cancel *any and all products* that use JKR’s blood money.

We need more people helping rally against Upper Deck.
They must release a statement acknowledging the wrongs they’ve committed, and set plans for how they intend to make right.
Cancel any and all HP products. Apologize. Admit fault. Take accountability by donating to trans charities.
