A promotional graphic for a charity event. On the left, there is the logo for "Apochromatic Unlimited" featuring a stylized letter "A" with the text "Harlem Renaissance Forever" above and below it. The background has an intricate, swirling pattern with "BHM 2026" encased in a scroll-like design. The right side of the image displays the "Black Trans Advocacy & Legal Services / Lavender Rights Project" logo, which incorporates many hands with different skin tones raised in solidarity against a backdrop of a combination of the Philadelphia Pride Flag and the Trans Pride Flag. In the center, between the two logos, is the phrase "Charity In Support of," written in white text. The background is a textured dark blue with delicate gold circuit-like lines framing the image.

Hello everyone! Are you ready for more beautiful black tables telling more beautiful black tables?

Wanted a clean thread to continually share as needed but hey are you annoyed by orientalist and blatantly obtuse games and their white designers?

Throw money at an Asian designer and their games! You can find them so easily with the link below!

Did you buy Obojima? Feel bad? Buy another game!

Important question for those who track reading: I have been tracking graphic novels with my books but what about individual issues? Should they be tracked separately? by arc? Just wait till the graphic novel is released and track that? What do you do?

For this book, I wrote an essay about "How to GM Romance" when you're asexual - because I'm asexual and find it frustrating to live in a world where sex and romance are an assumed and “necessary” part of any meaningful relationship.

I'm SO happy you can all read this now. 🫶
