Mood.

Got a crowdfunding roundup today--mostly tabletop, but also a videogame recommendation app! geekdad.com/2025/02/crow...

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. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

I keep thinking of this

I mean, they had a whole war and wrote ho a constitution because they didn't want a king. Remember that?

I've got reviews of two titles that just launched on Kickstarter today from @flatoutgames.bsky.social! (🧵1/3)

Today's stack: revisiting the Inkheart series and reading the newest volume, Inkworld. geekdad.com/2025/02/stac...

In case this disappears from the CDC site in the coming hours: here is the full recommended vaccine schedule for birth to 18 years. Keep kids and your community safe. Alt text supported. @altcdc.bsky.social #vaccines #shots #RFKJr

It snowed! Kids get a 5-day weekend (no school yesterday and today plus President's Day). Made a tiny snowman and a snow meeple.

Yeah, that seems about right. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/vot...

Launched on Kickstarter today from Pencil First Games: Vineyard, a game about a group of friends running a vineyard, from designer @robertataylor.bsky.social and illustrator @artbykatw.bsky.social. geekdad.com/2025/02/kick...

I've been playing these and having fun with them—a fun little set of card games that really stands out on your shelves! I'll be writing these up individually as I have time.

Forgot to share this yesterday, but this week's stack: comics about comics! geekdad.com/2025/02/stac...

This looks really fascinating--I don't play a lot of RPGs but I'm very curious about this one.

Legends of Gadia is a card-shedding game from the world of a fantasy novel series by Su Mon Han: geekdad.com/2025/01/kick...

Happy lunar new year (tomorrow)! The one thing I do every year is make new year cake (nian gao). Here's the recipe in case you'd like to try it for yourself.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Let's Go! To Japan is a game about planning a vacation and trying to hit all your highlights and experiences, by @sirjoshwood.bsky.social (designer of Cat Lady and Santa Monica). geekdad.com/2025/01/lets...

Watched the first two episodes of Severance Season 2 last night, so I figured I'd share this Etch-a-Sketch drawing I did a couple years back when I watched season 1.

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

This is cute. pointerpointer.com
