Daily Illuminator: Tariffs Are Driving Up Game Prices Now
On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change . . .
Not only are tariffs bad for business, they could be a death blow to many small publishers. Here's an apt description of their effect from the folks at @stevejacksongames.bsky.social.

Public comment on US passport form changes related to trans
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
