I'm posting this for a friend who's not here on BlueSky. She's in dire need of help, to not end up homeless (+her family, both human and fur).
Every little bit can help, and also give her hope that there's still kind folks in the world.

knowing the rules is only part of a good teach. information architecture is a whole field, and you want to structure your teach too: 'how to win -> what do on turn' but mindful of how much people can hold in their brains at once. teach some stuff later. be brief at first then detailed later
Legit when I'm going to play a game like, say, Terra Mystica or Brass Birmingham with friends I have to teach it to I will literally rehearse my teach for a few days because I want them to have a good experience, and I've had great games have shitty first impressions because of terrible teaches.
I used to think I didn’t like board games or a lot of games really, then I found out that I just don’t like having to learn how to play a game from people who are bad at explaining it. And because some don’t know, you can play a game very well AND be bad at explaining how to play the game.

Many years ago, I was feeling stressed by the state of the world and I started a Holiday Fairies thing where people sent me their wishlists and I publicized them to try to get everyone gifts for the holidays.

There are people on here who get a lot of praise for their funny alt text and I hate it because nothing in the alt describes the photo. They just think they're being funny and clever when they're actually just excluding people.
Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.
The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that.
I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989.
"But I don't know what to get my artist friends/talented cousins for the holidays!"
I will help.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".
