I come from a land where the interval between two notes is such that the frequency of the higher note is double that of the lower note. And I work for BGG.

Omg. Thanks for asking. 💁🏽♀️ CW - for 2nd Gen kids.
I made it in a flurry, when I first created a public account for gaming. I realized someone had the one I first planned, so I landed on this one & just went with it.
Growing up “Your mom is a FOB!” was a common insult. 🧵

Watched the Bad Bunny performance this morning. I teared up when the flags came out. Now everyone's posts make sense. It *is* just what this country needs. 🥹
Also, maybe this is pre-menopause and I just cry over everything now? Idk. Either way, it was beautiful.

It's hard to identify "best."
Best could be the shrink wrapped Outfoxed for $4 that first led our family to the hobby 11 yrs ago. But it could also be the like new Shadows of Camelot that I traded for beans (Project L), before I really knew what that game was worth.

Happy Superb Owl to all who celebrate!
We're going to observe by going somewhere basic that is usually crowded.
This is like opposite of Burning Man in the Bay Area, where you go to the douchey, but tasty food place or bar that won't be crowded that week.

At least 2-3x a week I take a 15-20 min. coffee nap on the break room sofa at work.
It's taken 5 months for everyone to be accustomed to this. Everyone just goes about their business now.

I think I had no idea what a Yorkshire Pudding was.
This whole time I thought it was a dessert.

Is it too late for midnight confessions?
Despite the sunny days, it's still cold at night. An old house, with poor insulation doesn't help.
Anyway, I've taken to sleeping in my sleeping bag, and a cold draft has yet to wake me!

Sometimes if my mind is still in work mode at the end of the day, I stop at the thrift as a buffer, cause I can't take that energy home.
Anyway, guess who stayed up too late playing a 2 handed solo Hungry Goat Game.

I'm near our Magazines and Newspaper Room. Every table is full. It feels like a cafe from the late 90's / early 00's in a college town. They are on laptops or reading. One table is playing Magic the Gathering, and another is a set of retired ladies playing Progressive Rummy.

The amount of times I email a question before realizing I just had to scroll down to find the info I wanted?
How am I an Information Professional!?!?
Also, it's my Monday and all these first emails are dense and sleepy.

Learned Koi today. So pretty, but apparently I can't keep track of so many objectives! I lost so bad. But I don't care because my pond is so beeeeeuooootiful!
(Also, made my kid play Taco vs. Burrito to decide if we should donate it to the Teen Zone. We are donating it).

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

If your library people are quiet about recent events, it may be because we're tasked w/ cultivating safe, public spaces that are welcome to ALL. Everyone. The implication of that is a lot to unpack. 🥺
I'm glad to be w/ a city that has trainings on this, but I know other libraries don't have that. 😔

Workshopping looks for tomorrow. It's my library's 75th anniversary and we're inviting the community to dress 50's. Rustled up what I could with my regular clothes.

Everyone i’ve spoken with at @deyoungmuseum.bsky.social have been blown away by how popular the “art of manga” exhibit has been. It’s welcomed many people who havent been to the museum before, and introduced manga to new fans too. www.famsf.org/exhibitions/... go before it closes on Feb 1!

Today someone cried during their Reading Assessment. I thought the story touched a nerve with them. But no, they said it's the best they've ever read in a long time. As a kid they'd get scolded for missing the punctuation, and it was nice to read and not be afraid.

Baked potatoes have been my jam lately. Bake a ton and I have an easy bfast or small dinner for my late days.
But I never thought of this!

I’ve eaten sweet potato’s my whole life. It’s my favorite potato.
This was the first time I’ve cut them in half, sprayed EVOO, placed them cut side down, and baked them until soft & caramelized.
They’re so perfectly sweet and sticky around the edges. I just can get enough of them. ♥️ 🍠
