Dear Fishes--I have a game to share. For a long time, I found myself wanting a way to play cards with just one other person (War is bad, and Rummy and Egyptian Ratscrew are just okay). After working on a few ideas, I think I found a winner:

Playing cards are such a beautiful thing. Their ubiquity ensures their decentralized, decommodified existence. Like language, nearly everyone has a deck of cards, and so the social rituals we enact with it have no owner and no final form. If any fish plays my game, please let me know what you think. It has been a favorite in my circles over the past years.

2.8.2026 Growing up, principles were ever so important to me. Now in my 20s, that great castle of belief is beginning to wash back into the shore. What I've gained in humility seems, for now, to be what I've lost in conviction. Change happens, opposites emerge, and--we can only hope--they dissolve again in the ebb and the flow.
