Another INCREDIBLE video from Amabel. If you’re even mildly interested in board games her channel (and her games at Hollandspiel!) are essential
Let's talk about board game boxes and their role in selling a game, framing and contextualizing the experience, and creating meaning.

A dispatch from our Not Beating the Allegations desk;
smug ass 'your party' advocates have spent a couple months now brushing off our concerns of transphobia while condescendingly saying 'get involved! have a say at the conference!'.
most of us knew better but this is what's happened to someone who actually took that advice and tried to participate.

I think one of the most valuable things you can learn as a leftist/socialist is how to talk to normal people about what’s going on in the world in a way they can understand it. The majority of people simply do not have the wherewithal to understand what is going on in the world beyond “shits fucked”

CNN is such a treat right now, serving up all the weeping & moaning about our dear troops (all their leftover reheated Iraq shit).
You sent a hostile army in violation of the #Constitution to harass and threaten us. We have a right to strike back.

What the hell is wrong with Democrats?
First they gloat over the mass death their president caused in Palestine and Texas
Now they're gloating because someone's ex wife (who was the victim of retaliation, because she LEFT him) has been targeted by ICE, leaving an 11 year old boy terrified
