Hello, here's my overdue #intro!

Married, he/him from Queens, NY. Network Admin by day, #boardgames enthusiast by night. I buy more than I can play, so I obviously need to quit work and make more time for gaming. That works, right? Also enjoy a bunch of TV and movies, damn couch potato

What do I get my 7 year old niece for Xmas? I am lost 😭

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.

Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Just like UBI & Medicare for All would be much better uses of taxpayer dollars.
Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?

Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… #HousingFirst
100,000 Homes: Housing the homeless saves money?
Giving apartments to the chronically homeless can save taxpayer dollars, advocates say

After only being able to be at PaxU for 1 day (spend mostly selling cards and a bit of shopping), I need a gaming con. Badly.

I really hate how American Christianity has basically just turned into white nationalism. That's not what Christian is supposed to be about.

It's supposed to be about going to church so you can gossip about your neighbors, and being weird about sex.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Every time the shocking, perplexing tactic of “giving money to people who need it” is tried, it turns out to work.

And yet people who have more money than they could ever need remain baffled.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Honestly, this makes every org and institution that folded at the merest threat of an attack on trans rights just look as pathetic as they are.

It does the same for everyone that excused them.
NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won.

There were so many releases at Essen that I feel slightly underwhelmed with the list of new games in comparison that will be at Pax Unplugged. I think, perhaps I have boardgame FOMO overload.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.

We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.
#SaveSpeech

Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin

Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!
