Some days, you just have to put on some Sinead O'Connor while your bald baddie husband shaves your chemo head on the back porch.
Today is chemo day #1! I'm warmed by a fuzzy sweater, blanket, and socks. I'm full of warm fuzzies from your outpouring of love and support! The doctors, nurses, and staff have been wonderful. The treatment path is very clear and promising. I plan to be a rabblerouser for a long time!

What an absolute delight was to take part in "La Play"! Italy's board game community was warm, curious, and eager to learn Votes for Women.
This morning, I took a pasta making class from a real-life Nonna in her kitchen!
La Repubblica invited me to write an op-ed about my passion: the intersection of games, activism, and the power of playing with history to create a more just future. A snippet from my (English) draft below and the full page print layout right here:
