This podcast is a follow on to the topics discussed in the last hour of episode 69, which can be found here: https://youtu.be/upvms4K8XhA Note: there won't be Q&A, Jen won't be appearing, it's just me talking through what has happened since then and what I want to do going forward.  If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to reach out questions@rahdo.com.  Here's the excellent video I mentions from Jason Perez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z0wTZkg3a8 Here's the interview I did on Meepleville meets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecc2j5vVhgw Here's the hateful tweet I mentioned (warning: deeply offensive language and hate speech): https://twitter.com/Rahdo/status/1357582038140817410 Jen's "words of wisdom" I mentioned: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtaC6EHVoAA_IFE?format=jpg&name=900x900

IMPORTANT NOTICE! The contents of the final portion of this podcast have been edited from what originally aired, because I made a terrible mistake that led to abusive and potentially violent acts against innocent and marginalized people. As such, all names have been removed, though I've left the other content stand so as not to hide my other mistakes. If further edits are to be made (I am consulting with people smarter than me from the affected communities), they will be noted here!   Also, to those who are "defending" me by being demeaning, insulting or harassing to those who are rightfully angry/disappointed by my recent mistakes: STOP! I made real transgressions, I'm working to rectify them. If you disagree, you're NOT on my side! Please extend grace!
