A yearly reminder as Pride month draws nigh: Marginalized communities exist and need support year round, not just their affinity months.

We like to think it goes without saying, but we do NOT do business with Uline!

Our shipping supplies are sourced from Global Industrial, EcoEnclose, and other local, reputable companies.

Save money on materials and have the reassurance it's not being forwarded towards fascism!
Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

The Tabletop Mentorship Program is open and accepting applications for both Mentees and Mentors. If you are a game designer this is one of my highest recommendations. I have had the privilege of being on both sides and it truly was a wonderful experience. www.unpub.org/mentorship?s... 🎲✂️ Join It

Every single year my anxiety brain tells me that this is the year no one turns out...and every single year we break the previous year's record.

Together, we raised half a million dollars for @translifeline.bsky.social!💜💜💜

Trans rights are human rights, and all are deserving of equality and love. 🏳️‍⚧️
