So we want your words! We’re going to try out doing more articles on a Word Press site in addition to our tumblr. If you have something you’d like us to link to/repost/boost please email us at whyineeddiversegames@gmail.com

If you have something you’d like us to link to/repost/boost please email us at whyineeddiversegames@gmail.com. This isn’t a call for things so we can pay you in exposure, we will never do that to y’all fan. We can’t even really pay ourselves.

We do want your articles, we want to give the community a space for discussion and safety to have nuanced diversity discussion. So if this sounds good to you, you’ve got something burning a hole in your hard drive? Let us give it a home.

We’re working on submission guidelines as well, but we’d love have some community work for our launch this week.

Thank you ❤
