Hi everybody. We’re 30+ members of the Paizo staff, and today we’re announcing that we have formed the United Paizo Workers, one of the first unions of its kind in the tabletop game industry.

@ccecale @dtpowis Awesome! The first thing that comes to mind is that they should check out Avery Alder's game Dream Apart. It's a game about queer communities in the post-apocalypse. Other ideas to follow. I'll email you.

[Nicholas Mizer @nickmizer]

@dtpowis @ccecale Definitely willing to make further suggestions based on what they're interested in!

@trgenovese Wish I was going, just so we could hang out.

[Nicholas Mizer @nickmizer]

@trgenovese So excited! Safe travels!

[Labor Notes @labornotes]

Labor Notes has compiled 24 #LaborDay songs. Some of the selections are classics; others may surprise you. 🧵

May Day, International Workers’ Day, is the original day of celebration of working-class solidarity marked by rallies, fiery speeches, and demonstrations. #Solidarity

@mike_sell @lackingceremony Oh, also Microscope and The Quiet Year.

[Nicholas Mizer @nickmizer]

@mike_sell @lackingceremony All of Grant Howitt's stuff, like Honey Heist. Sometimes they come out shorter than that.
