I'm *really* liking my chances now.

Of course I was at a No Kings rally. How about you?

I like logging into Goodreads and seeing this. I think I'm gonna make it this year!

Being not so gently reminded today that this meme I got somewhere accurately describes the administration’s “grand strategy” for the new world order.

Between doing nothing about school shootings and now ending vaccine mandates this is what the children must be thinking about older generations.

I can't believe the year is 1/3 over already. I am so far behind on my goodreads reading challenge!

Marched in Philly today. Speak up!

Here's a couple more top 10 games from my list. Any other grognards play these in bygone days?

I stand by my conviction that #Concordia is an excellent two-player game. Playing with @happymomster.bsky.social.

I just had to continue with the pattern from last year, so this year it will be 25 books to read for 2025. At least I will get a head start as I finish half-read books from 2024! 😇

There really wasn't much of a chance. Too much to do with the holidays here. Did I learn anything for next year's challenge? Read shorter books??

Here is the #MagicTheGathering card for this lovely IPA mascot. I figured she must be a flower 🌷 nymph, not a dryad. No guarantees as to the balance of this card. 😊

Well this was unexpected. Happy Christmas to me!
(price tag removed by family to spare me a heart attack)
Thank you, @happymomster!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Ok, here's some lovely IPA can art that deserves a custom #MagicTheGathering card. I'm thinking she's a Faerie or a Dryad of some kind? 🧚

Ack! My #goodreads challenge is looking sketchy - at least I'm close to finishing a couple of books. Will I make it??

Here's the card!

This craft beer doesn't have much in the way of art on the can, but with its quintessentially hazy IPA name is still a good candidate for turning into a #MagicTheGathering card.

This is what I came up with, inspired by the thought that the squid is trying to share the pineapple drink with you, and that sea creatures use ink to escape danger. Is it balanced? Who knows? 🤷‍♂️🍍

Feeling very lucky today as @happymomster.bsky.social is playing #TerraformingMars with me! 😍
December 8, 2024 at 8:34 PM
Here's an IPA I still need to make a Magic card to match. Something with "ink" and "juice" hmmm
December 8, 2024 at 3:05 PM
One fun #MagicTheGathering thing I do is invent cards to match IPAs that I like. For example, here is a classic Hazy IPA and the card to match it, going off of the name and art. I have a whole page of these cards!

@happymomster.bsky.social and I always bring boardgames when we travel. This one is a very cool game called Let's Go To Japan.

Bluesky, meet Luna. She is the mascot at Ohiopyle Suites motel in Ohiopyle, PA and she invited herself into our room and hopped right on the bed when we arrived! #catsofbluesky
