Mainstream "left" media: stop obsessing over every stupid thing POTUS says every day. Sure, "normalizing terribleness" is a thing, but so is outrage fatigue.
Kids are still in cages. Rights are still being dismantled.
Eyes on the prize. Just for a couple of months.
Your friendly Sunday morning PSA:
Block trolls, and report abusive behaviour, always.
Blocking awful people denies them access to your followers and other accounts you interact with.
Engaging bad actors in good faith spreads the virus.
Insisting you "don't have a racist/sexist/homophobic bone in your body" likely makes many POC/women/LGBT people nervous; maybe even distrustful.
You may not mean it, but you're communicating that you are unwilling to work on or even examine your behaviour, as it is perfect now.
I know Iβm late to the party, but been super impressed with Sarah Shahβs Board Games in a Minute overviews. Talk about efficiency! Give her a follow!
Two things:
1) To me, the DJA committee's commitment to elevating black voices in tabletop is IMO the best "professional statement" of recent times.
2) You have no idea how uplifting it is to see so many other POC meaningfully recognized at once β€οΈ

When we say "black lives matter" it's so much more than "please consider not killing black people."
It's an acknowledgement of the humanity, the messy, awkward and beautiful humanity of all people.
In the form of a reminder.
Fully intended to poke around the Gen Con online thing but spent about 30 seconds looking at that un-navigable mess and guess Iβll see yβall at Pax Online
