I am Jennifer. I teach kids with games! Sometimes I go to teacher things or game things to talk about teaching with games. It rules. LGBTQIA+ affirming. ๐Ÿ’™ Inclusivity is best practice. Dignity for all.

To date INSPIRISLES has introduced sign language to over 15,000 players who have most likely run the game for friends, family, or students. It makes us immensely proud that an indie RPG has had such a far-reaching educational and social impact. We canโ€™t wait to conclude the trilogy this summer!

If you have never been to an Unpub event, I strongly recommend it. It is my new favorite thing!

He's right. It does scare them, largely because he has an obvious comfort with himself and his emotions and MAGA cannot fathom.

I participated in a panel discussion on how to help break screen dependency in young people. We focused a lot of our attention on introducing analog in-person activities that promote imaginative play. At least two people cheered when I mentioned TTRPGs.

If you're at #gamaexpo and looking for great games that you may not have heard of that would rule for schools and library programs- go no further than The Vibe by @jacobjaskov.bsky.social at Uloomi games, and Hasty Baker & House Hounds by GoChuckle (not on bsky). Strongly recommend both!

Had an amazing time at #GamaExpo! Met so many amazing games designers, publishers, and retailers! So many great conversations from just two days. Cannot wait to see what comes from this!

Best part of a con? Meeting so many other people who are unafraid to love a thing. People who don't need to 'win', who just want to do the thing they love and help others also love that thing.
