interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

One other thought about the union announcement: A lot of people who laid the foundation and culture for this moment over the last few years aren’t at Wizards anymore for a lot of reasons and/or are contractors/freelance contributors. This is your win, too. Thank you for making it possible. 💜

Thrilled the D&D team is getting involved. Unfortunately, a long term trend since Hasbro bought Wizards of the Coast has been corporate abuse, most obviously seen in the regular holiday layoffs of staff. This should be great for the people AND for the game.

A strong enough union at Wizards could (and likely would) knock down about half of my "This company is fucking evil" notes, so I'm deeply interested in seeing them get recognized and see what comes out the end of their first round of negotiations after that. (This will probably involve the courts).
