Board games, as most media, are inherently political. The theme and setting, the manner in which (characters, names, visual representation) you present the content, the way you message it, and the things you leave out... all cultural and political. Being unwilling to recognize that is a you problem.

Hey! In case you didn't know, Minnesota passed a law that requires employers to disclose starting salary wages.
What does that mean for this industry? You can look at MN-based employers (like Asmodee!) to see what salary ranges look like for the kind of work you are interested in.

I no longer want to look my board games in the eye. They need to go somewhere else, somewhere hidden. 👀

I'm thinking of a MAKE 100 project to fund my art installations and art projects for my masters. Do you have websites, books, substacks recommendations so that I can do my research about running a KS? Any info will be greatly appreciated 🙂

I have been relatively offline these days, trying to save up my energy to be present with folks when I can. But the rhetoric we are seeing in the US is absolutely terrifying.
Just so we're all on the same page, trans rights are human rights. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 Tell your reps. Show people what you stand for.
