Hey, this Saturday we have four games for y'all!
Remember all month long we are raising money for the Lavendar Rights Project and appreciate your love and support.
Link to our tiltify and games for this Saturday below
Text in a bold font reading "Harlem Renaissance Forever" is split up by the Apochromatic Unlimited rainbow "A" and a decorative scroll that reads "BHM 2026." Behind this, a pair of rough silver wing shapes frames a colorful paint splatter and explosion of gaming paraphernelia, including cards, dice, and tokens. Spilling out from the wings are two persons: on the left, a black woman in a gold flapper-girl dress, jewelry, and feathered headdress; on the right, a black cyborg in rugged EVA gear with decorative gold collar, dark shades, and wiring mixed in among his braids.
What's good folks? Enjoying Black History Month?
What are we saying? Of course you are! You got us and our stories to motivate you all month long.
Speaking of which, check the post below for dates and time of the games we have this Friday!

Southerners' migrant north to build a new life in Harlem. But news of deaths back home shatters everything. Grief follows them north, taking the form of a Black Dog spirit stalking the streets.
Why is it hunting them, and who will survive it?

This is the Tufts PhD student who seized by masked agents on the street and jailed for two months because she wrote an op-ed calling for the school to divest from Israel.
Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week.
Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.
If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

I created a lil whimsy at #paxunplugged I brought a Japanese MTG Bloomburrow booster pack back from my japan vacation just so when I got to play MTG at PaxU, after the game ended I'd spread the Bloomburrow Cards facedown and let the players each draw one at random for funsies.
Sammmmeeeeee I keep checking my flight details every hour lmao.
So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser.
