if a Frey challenger wins, especially Fateh, Chicago organizers will have so much wisdom for us about how to prepare for this. This is what Mayor Johnson and his admin have experienced. & to the Mary Moriarty parallel, also State's Attorney Kim Foxx, before she stepped down in 2024 after two terms

I was talking to a non-minneapolitan friend about the Minneapolis mayoral race and I genuinely think that if Frey is replaced by someone who defeats him—not replaced by someone after choosing not to run again—that next mayor is going to be ripped to shreds no matter who it is.

it's got the goofs. it's got the character arcs. it's got the cast chemistry. it's got the anticapitalist propaganda (positive connotation). it's got original music and that good good sound design.

REALLY finding this to be true in my home game - my crew is probably down for a multi-year epic campaign AND YET it's still important to be taking big swings on the good-enough pitch. waiting for the "right time" impoverishes the possibility-space. making moves sets up future moves!

appreciate all of these - happy slightly belated bday and thank you for writing! looking forward to returning to Gamewoven after a sudden unexpected detour to listen to all of @uepodca.st

not exactly the perspective you asked for, but I've now covered two extended leaves (6 and 8 weeks respectively) as a consultant and just want to report that everything was fine! I wasn't even covering most of the staff member's responsibilities - mostly that stuff just went on pause.

fast & free buses would be the coolest for me personally!! no cost childcare I think could be the most transformative overall
