Off to Conservative Party Conference tomorrow. It’s been a while since I did any of the conferences, so quite excited to do this one.

Amazing news — so exciting! So pleased to be recognised for this huge collaborative effort.
It's a huge honour to receive this @SMKcampaigners award for best collaboration. We couldn't stop this draconian law from passing, but together we won some victories, highlighted the attack on marginalised communities and forged new links across civil society. 🧵

In a couple of weeks @SMKcampaigners will announce the winners of their campaigning awards. I’m so pleased and grateful that the Police Bill Alliance (@PoliceBillAll) is one of the nominees. It was a serious team effort and we worked so hard on it!

I’m now out of the police station. Still waiting for my colleagues. Make no mistake. There is no longer a right to peaceful protest in the UK. I have been told many times the monarch is there to defend our freedoms. Now our freedoms are under attack in his name.

How can anyone look at the arrests yesterday and believe that the UK still has a right to peaceful protest?

Just FYI to all the white guys - if you are interested in presenting a panel on women’s issues in gaming, including but not restricted to sexism, THIS is what it should look like @613mandi @brennanoonan @emmalarkins @bluestockingetc @QuakerDissent

Environment and climate people — are any of you interested in the Green Games Guide? It’s a project I’ve been working on with some excellent people in the board games industry for the last couple of years, and it launched today! Please do share. https://t.co/rArIqAKv2P

On #InternationalWomensDay I’d like to share some of the stories of incredible women in our new game, Library Labyrinth.

There’s a curse in the library, and literary terrors are coming to life…there’s Dracula behind you and a Kraken round the corner! Can you team up with famous fictional and historical characters to defeat the monsters and save the library? Pre-order here:

Library Labyrinth is a family-weight game set in a cursed library! Literary terrors are escaping from the books... Dracula behind you, the Kraken round the corner... Can you find all six magical...

I like the idea. However, the weekends burn me out more than the working day. I find childcare far harder than creating boardgames or freelance political research. I want to work fewer but longer days, but the kids need picking up and taking to swimming etc.
The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out: ▪️ No drop in revenue ▪️ 65% fewer sick days ▪️ 71% less burnout ▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

This morning I went to the London Toy Fair. There is a LOT of money in the toy industry. The difference between the Toy Fair and Expo is the difference between the Tory conference and the Lib Debs (pre 2010). (AireCon is like the Greens, but with fewer photocopied leaflets.)

If you send cards for Valentine’s Day, perhaps you could send one of mine? This card is a colouring-in game for two players! Gentle at first, competitive towards the end… https://t.co/5ChznRg7V2

These gorgeous cards went out to supporters of @CSASService last week. It’s a solo game on a greetings card — roll the dice and match the results to the flowers in the picture. If you need custom wedding invites or thank you cards, drop me a line… dissentgames@gmail.com

My children are making play money. It’s all dollars. I’m feeling rather disappointed.
