I serve as a board member and secretary for the Whimsy Governance Board, a body whose mission it is to ensure whimsy levels are correct in all situations. The board takes up matters referred to it by the public, and issues findings.

The WGB is a fun project between myself and some friends. I cannot claim credit for the idea—it came up in conversation months ago, and has since been referred to jokingly by those present—but I did make the website. The Board seeks not to reduce the level of whimsy in the world, but to right-size and properly distribute it. Misplaced whimsy can be harmful, and lead to unwanted outcomes ranging from disappointment and tightening of rules to death and depression. The Board believes that the world is better when the whimsy within it is properly allocated.

If you have a whimsy-related matter, whether you’re unsure of the proper level of whimsy, or suspect an over or under dosing, refer it to the board by emailing [email protected] with a short description of the situation, and how you’d like to be referred to in the Board’s report (if at all).

Serving on the WGB is the honor of a lifetime, and I look forward to aiding in this important work.
