Update to this chart that I share a lot. Not breaking news: Game design teams are still OVERWHELMINGLY all men. About 7% of the top 500 games have a woman or non-binary person credited as a designer. A 🧵of related charts: (1/6)

I am still haunted by this poem, "The Myth Was Never The Unicorn," written by one of the teens who participated in the creative writing program at the museum this summer. A reminder that girls are always aware.

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

Today is International Owl Awareness Day and I had a hoot putting together this thread of international owl phrases, starting with this one…
A colloquial way of telling someone to mind their own business in Punjabi is apna ooloo sidha rukh. It means “keep your own owl straight.”

Hey all. We have never, ever done this ever (it makes Matt (yes I’m speaking in 3rd person) super uncomfortable and we are not judging if you have needed to) but we have an ask/favor of folks, as it seems our recent outspokenness has caught the attention of some legit trolls.

I am headed to Gen Con - mostly in meetings with publishers - and def playing new games! 🎲 If you’re a pub, I still have time Sunday if you wanna chat possible local or global partnerships with Ravensburger 🐦⬛🐦⬛🍔 or even just meet n greet or lie prone on the exhibit hall floor together.
