The fund will be run and distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social, local 9433 of Communication Workers of America, paying their own operating costs. Looking especially for games that have not been in bundles before, or which are new to itch. Please share widely and let's help some folks.

"Guilty Queer: On accidentally building queer fighting game community"
Happy Pride! I wrote about how organizing Xrd events accidentally led to helping build queer fighting game community, and how awesome it has been to see people find themselves in fighting games.

I hate the idea that old games are impossible, that new players can't possibly learn to play a game that doesn't automate the entire process for them.
