- I can not overstate the excitement & validation I felt when Votes for Women was featured in the Washington Post Book section. Treating games like literature is an important phase of credibility for our medium. RIP to the space, and I hope the best for the writers, editors, and staff. Bezos sucks.
- It's a celebration!
- It's been six years since I made the hardest and best decision. I asked for help, learned how to use new tools, built networks of support, and developed resilience. I can't know what would have happened if I hadn't done all this work. But I do know life is better with clarity, purpose, and sleep.
- Wild Pink!
- Fuck it, let's rock.
- Having your personal information put on blast in leaked emails can feel embarrassing. I was in the Podesta emails (including my monthly salary) and I didnt like it. So believe me when I say the people in the Epstein emails should die of shame. Please, go ahead. Just do it already. Die.
- Someone broke into our car the other night and rifled through all the parking receipts and CDs looking for money and valuables. But they missed the most precious valuable of all.
- I shared my thoughts about "Keep (your) politics out of (my) boardgames" with @danthurot.bsky.social for @wyrdscience.bsky.social
- Read the rest. It is great in typical Dan fashion wyrdscience.substack.com/p/standees-i...
- Tell Sam Healey I'm talking about him specifically. Narrow and sad to be sure.
- This whole interview was a lot of fun, but I really got going in this clip!
- Look, I'm NOT saying liking Votes for Women makes you a good person. BUT I am saying a lot of people who have been here since day one are THE BEST PEOPLE. Thanks to all the wargamers who have made me feel not just welcome but included. And thanks to the Minnesotans who are so clear and brave.
- Update! Thanks to your generosity, we have donated to the Immigrant Law Center of MN and the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. That's over $350 from our fellow Bluesky friends! It is a remarkable show of community and support for our values and our neighbors.

- This is why Liz @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social was the perfect creator to work with on the official Votes for Women tutorial. Beyond being smart, she's curious. Beyond being caring, she's driven by values. Beyond a gamer, she's a valued member of my community. youtu.be/1qlEn8ob2ns?...
- The hole where Tiktok used to be... I think reactions to some of the privacy changes are a wee bit overblown, but I am very concerned about how the new ownership is treating content disfavored by the Administration.
- If you dont know how to support our neighbors in Minnesota, Ive got some suggestions in this thread. If youd rather give to a group thats helping neighbors closer to your front door, I can help you find them. If you dont think your contribution will make a difference, I'll match it. No excuses.
- Votes for Women is a game about how movements can change the very fabric of our democracy. How important it is to join a great cause bigger than ourselves. How ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they band together. So let's do something good together.
- Families held captive by the American government are protesting their dire conditions and ongoing incarceration. They are asking for dignity and due process. They are asking for their inalienable rights. apnews.com/article/texa...
