Remember: no matter who is in the Oval Office, you can always fight for change at the state and local levels. Just look at New Mexico.

New Mexico learned from that man's first term that his policies meant people would suffer. So NM developed a plan. This is only the beginning. #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment

Sometimes when I'm writing flavor text for a boardgame, I look things up to be sure I'm using a word or phrase correctly. Because of that, my search history can get a bit... "weird".

We boardgame industry people are hurting. 😞

Poll: Finnish publisher Lautapelit.fi has a couple of large games in its catalog (Agemonia & Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy), and with shipments nearly ready for the U.S., it's wondering how a 20% tariff will affect potential buyers. Let them know: boardgamegeek.com/thread/3472668 —WEM

I love exploding my pot in Quacks! I get so far behind, but I get so many rats. 🐀 Of course, then I stop exploding after a while so I can catch up with points. 😄

Oh wow. Thanks! I love what I do, and I'm thankful for all the opportunities that keep coming my way. I do this full time, through word of mouth alone. 💜

If you have room on the "other industry roles" list, I'd appreciate the add. I am a freelance rulebook editor and tester. I also assist in development.

I, for one, appreciate your sacrifice. Better you do it than I. 😄

Explain your user name: I have metal splints on all my fingers, & I used to wear a metal waist-to-knee brace so I could walk. I am now an electric wheelchair user, so the leg brace is gone, but the finger splints are still necessary. Since my wheelchair is electric, I am now battery-powered!

I have decided that chips and salsa are a meal, and watching my dog happily spend his day in front of the space heater is good for my mental well-being.

Exactly this! I have to decline most conventions because I can't find trustworthy childcare.

Gorgeous! I'm jealous of your white deck. I have the original black. Do you have any point and click type games you love? I want to add to my deck-compatible library. My hands can't do anything that requires a rapid response or heavy coordination.

Hello, all! I'm Tara, AKA Cyborg Queen ♿️. - I am a board game editor, tester, and developer. - I love Arkham Horror LCG. If a game has donkey meeples, I will always stack them, arrange them, and yell, "DONKEY!" (ala Shrek) every time I can. - I enjoy the quiet and the scent of night.

We moved, so all our games were in totes. Finally got the shelves put up and the totes unloaded. I'll excited to play whatever game I can get to the table. For now, I'm happy staring at all my games that I haven't seen in months.

🤔 I see your point. Same as when I'm editing a rulebook: Is this sentence confusing, or is it just me?

"Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy." Whelp. Currently on day 5 of this $@#%&! migraine, so that fits. I am merely existing at this point.

Picture of 4 different kittens as examples of migraine stages: prodrome (staring into space), aura (bright light shining onto their closed eyes), attack (crying & wet), postdrome/recovery (casts on both front legs).

Today, I learned that baby hippos typically weigh about 50 to 100 pounds at birth. They continue to grow in size until they are about 25 years old.

Still looking to follow more people who make comics, video games or board games, just to stay aware of what’s up. Drop a note here if that’s you, okay?
