Please 2026, be kind.

I used to love finding people online to chat with about similar interests - I’ve met dear friends thanks to the internet. Now I find it almost too daunting to post anywhere and I want to protect my privacy and my peace. The internet is a scary place these days.

Brady’s 21 year old cousin has asked for ‘board games that are fun with two people’ for Christmas and I am both delighted and overwhelmed by this request. What if what I consider fun she does not? I need to go with some universally liked safe bets I think… any suggestions?

I feel like all of the board game people I like to follow are here but all of the book people I like to follow are on Threads.
