If you're new here, I'm Dan Lupe, and I use this account primary for posting to #booksky. If you like T. Kingfisher, Rachel Gillig, Robin Hobb, M.L. Wang - you're in the right place.

I also post about my #LittleFreeLibrary, book club, my kids, plants, and being disruptive in society💙

Hi friends attending #CubeCon. I'll be at the Bar Cube event on Saturday at 6 pm. This is the only thing I'll be at this year, so I'd love to see all of your lovely faces who are traveling to Madison from far away. Miss you oodles of bunches, and I want to have a beer and giant pretzel with you 💚

This is true and they are super endangered by poachers who shovel them up by the hundreds and sell them at flea markets and shit. You should not buy the plants and if you happen to kick the poacher in the shins on accident, no one will hear about it from me.

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

And, yes, I'll have my bar cubes with me for sharing. Just find me and say hi if you want to play Spirits on Tap, Pint-Sized Leaders, or CD-ROM Included. Lists are on my CubeCobra page.

Last year when I stepped into the social media and community management role with CubeCon 2024, Bobbie-Christine was THE person who I looked up to and appreciated most in the space.

Thank you for all the encouragement and support you gave me. I know you will continue to build great things 💚

Bobbie-Christine Brewer @bobbiechristine.bsky.social · 2d

After nearly five years of one of the greatest honors of my life, I will be stepping down as president of Birds of Paradise. Until a new direction for the group is decided, we will be going on an indeterminate hiatus.

BOP! has done amazing volunteer work to increase representation in Magic.

Working through my bulk and old commander decks to make a new cube this time focused on mechanics and being a 4 player. Going to try to put together a video about the experience but here is a little preview I’ve added a couple old theros path of the hero cards since they make perfect conspiracies

As you get older, try to keep an open mind for what younger people enjoy, and engage with it how you can. This is easier the more you do. You'll enjoy a wider band of stuff, younger people who need you will find you more approachable, and you won't turn into a "in my day" grump.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Keep it on the down low, but if you find me at Bar Cube night, I'll be running games and a Contraband Competition with Prohibition - a bar cube where Blue is BANNED and you'll need to smuggle your contraband if you want to play with the most powerful spells.

My son also had the grass deck with a Mega K. The Mega K wad more of a liability, especially since his R1 and R2 opponents had the fighting deck.
