A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Share, repost, talk about games by women. Tell people about games by women. Buy games by women.
Demand publishers work with women. Demand creators make content about women. Champion those who do.
Let women know you like their games.
Replace any of the above with nb’s and you’d be good as well.

What can we do to change this? Drawing attention to the work of women and enbies in the industry seems like a good start, but maybe there's something else that would help.

It should go without saying that trans people not only have the right to exist, but deserve the same human rights as the rest of us... but it's great to shout it every now and then.
I unequivocally support them and their fight for equality 🏳️⚧️ ✊

Being from Texas, I had to end my trip back here with some Whataburger. It fulfilled a craving I've been harboring for years since I moved away.
