For those who don't know, I'm one of three mentors in this program, and this year is our pilot project.

We've got two mentees, and they're both so rad and already working on amazing projects on their own

relieved the takeaway here is “bikes are not cars and need different infrastructures” instead of the patently insane idea that people on bikes should just pretend they’re in cars

For those that don't know @ldragoon.bsky.social is the weirdo that played Native on Twitter until she was called out and had a melt down where she told Natives she knew our cultures better than us, went on a zionest and anti-Black rant before attacking Xiran Jay Zhao based off weird race science.

Since DiGRA is extremely expensive to attend, I'm sharing my presentations as blog posts so folks can check them out outside of the conference. "Community Win States: Worker Co-ops and Sustainability in the Game Industry" was part of a larger panel discussion on sustainable game labour.

We have gotten BGG.com to add Cherokee to their list of languages. Winter Rabbit is the first game in their database published in Cherokee. The English version has Cherokee peppered throughout, and plan to include extra components entirely in the syllabary.

I knew several butch women as a kid. They were all married to very large brawny men, had at least four kids and either worked on a farm or with machinery. They all delt with bs comments about their perceived sexuality (or their husband's). People need to mind they damn bizness. It's not their body.

The Internet Archive and Wayback Machine have to be supported and protected *at all costs* The history of the Internet and the cultures and creativity it spawned is a cultural treasure. And even on the Wayback Machine, it only exists in an often imperfect, fragmented form. But it's still something.
