Spoke with two members of @uwotc-official.bsky.social's MTG Arena team who told me what supporting the D&D and MTG unions will look like: education, collaboration, and innoculation against propaganda. Also, apparently the union-avoidant messaging within WotC never really stopped.

You never want to wake up to 20 missed call notifications. At least it’s a beautiful day. Door’s busted but our resolve is doing great. We’re fine, and we plan on opening at 1pm at Lakeview today. Still plan on running the White Sox game at 7p. We’ll be cashless for the foreseeable. Be well.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

New from me. James Gardner was bullied for being Indigenous as a kid—so his friends lovingly call him “NDN.” As a concrete specialist, NDN was exposed to chemicals that have left him disabled, terminal, & facing foreclosure on his home. I speak w/ him @therealnews.com therealnews.com/working-in-c...
therealnews.com
He loved working in concrete. Now, he’s dying from the chemical exposure.

My work. Judge Walowski is seeking retention following a wave of reversals by the appellate court. In one case, the court reversed a conviction because Walowski forced a defense attorney to proceed to trial as he recovered from a bout with food poisoning bad enough to call for hospitalization.
