In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

Political winds do not only flow from voters to politicians, they go in reverse as well. Democrats running ads like these signal to the general public and their voter base that this issue now has support by both parties, and that hating trans people is publicly acceptable. They do harm to us.

When we finally break, it’s taken as proof that we were already broken. I think of this Malcolm X quote often: “…I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.”
Tweet from jae holzman (@jaeporeon):
this story should be national news during pride month and instead barely anyone knows about it

Screenshot of article:
A lawsuit challenging Idaho's transgender bathroom ban in K-12 public schools could end soon, after a group at Boise High School suing over the law dropped the case.
The move came after a transgender student who was part of Boise High School's Sexuality and Gender Alliance died by suicide, and another stopped attending the school, the group's lawyers wrote in a legal agreement reached Wednesday requesting the case be dismissed.

Posted this over on Instagram, thought I’d post it here too. I hope UKGE see this and hear us.
It’s undeniable I had a great time, but I’m including this last graphic, and imploring UKGE to take the discontent around AI ‘creators’ more seriously.

As an attendee AND an exhibitor, I am SO disappointed that there is still no official stance or implemented anti-AI policy when other cons, big and small, have them. I still found exhibitors that used AI in their products, and that stand space could have gone to genuine creators that enrich this community with their creativity.

I hope that the existence of two panels discussing the topic of how damaging AI can be (which notably were on at the same time...), and the popular ‘Human Made’ signs that so many exhibits displayed proudly are noted as a sign of just how many people do NOT want AI at this con.

Con-goers asked us about our stance on AI before purchasing.

Listen to your traders.
Listen to your attendees.

This matters.

Liberal responses to this, while well meaning, often make me sick. “Well just piss on the floor then!” “This is a distraction.” “What will their reaction be when a passing woman enters a mens bathroom, that will sure show them.” Like none of this makes it better. It’s not funny, it’s not a gotcha.

Can you believe Hollandspiele has been around for nine years? We're having a flash sale now through Sunday, offering a $9 discount on five of my games.
On August 16, 2016, Mary and I started a weird little board game company. We didn’t know if it would last. At best, we expected it to be a sideline, a way to make a little extra cash publishing other designers’ games, which would offset the costs of whatever weird, uncommercial things I came up with. Of course we hoped it might turn out to be more, but I don’t think either of us expected to go full-time within six months, or for weird, “uncommercial” things to quickly become our bread-and-butter.

I certainly didn’t expect it to last nine years. Heck, I didn’t expect me to last nine years. Finding and accepting who I really was and what really made me happy absolutely saved my life, and that only happened because of people I met through Hollandspiele. And being my own boss meant I got to chase that happiness without being afraid of losing my job or my ability to stay housed.

Things are, let’s face it, pretty dire for trans folks right now. Like many of my queer siblings, I don’t feel safe and I don’t know how to navigate the future that’s ahead of me. But the continued support for my weird games and for our weird little company has been a source of solace and comfort, not to mention some semblance of financial stability. Mary and I are so grateful for that.

To express that gratitude, we’re having a little flash sale this weekend, offering some of my games at $9 off now through Sunday.
