When learning how to play my first card game, Spades, at the age of six, I also learned that the faint of heart (i.e., me) are not constitutionally suited for being Spades partners with indomitable Black women players like Franchell and my mother Tracy. Once I was old enough to make extra money babysitting, I collected more Cabbage Patch Kids (along with all of their furniture and accessories), and I began to amass a large display case full of He-Man and G.I. Joe action figures. [...]instead of collecting dolls and action figures, now I transgress racial, gender, and class boundaries by playing in the mostly white, mostly male, and mostly wealthy hobby of wristwatch collecting, where I avidly research and hunt for rare wearable mechanical art. The monetary discrepancy between the two collectors' items says a great deal about how much this particular scene of play values Black ingenuity.) Always the only Black and queer woman on location (besides my spectating wife), these days I also play in the weird and competitive world of dog sports where I have trained our two extremely high-energy Airedale Terriers to excel in timed contests-primal play-by sniffing out rats that have been hidden and encased in tubes and bales of hay.
