We are joined by a couple of friends to speak up on the CGE and Devir Games issues in their latest games. These are not "just games." They are harmful to board gamers; people. We do extend human kindness in understanding that mistakes happen. youtu.be/24D3-FsBYN4

"It's just a game" is a hackenyed excuse for bigotry. Board gaming has and always will be about the people who play them. We are a microcosm of the larger world. If we can't get it right in a smaller section, how can we possibly do better on a larger scale. Empathy is an evolution we need to use.

Deciding what womanhood means to you is perhaps the most feminist thing you can do. JK Rowling has lost this sense of autonomy in her own gender unfortunately. Don't let society determine how you ought to behave in your gender. Be who you are 🏳️‍⚧️

Trans women are women. I'm disgusted by the UK Supreme Court decision. And it scares me for what's to come for the U.S.
