There’s a high chance that my cat Juniper thinks her name is ‘oh hi little baby’
My anatomy skull is very testosterone-y so I got another one that looks less so and it came with all these face and cheek magnetic muscle plates which I took off and threw away, but Daniel just found one I missed on the living room floor. Bit 'o cheek flesh. Normal floor findings.
My cat won’t sit in her heated bed unless it has this grungy towel on it. She has two heated beds so we have cut the towel in half.

After a bunch of playtesting, v1.1 of “Palace: River and Stone” using @bethsobel.bsky.social cards is now available. Big change: The “Have Fun” card now resets the value of the face-up discard pile to zero. That opens the game up and avoids some pain 2p loops. boardgamegeek.com/thread/29741...

I'd love to see graphic designer names on game boxes! If you're putting the illustrator, why not also add the graphic designer?
Unplayed games. What would you play first? (Some we’ve played in prototype form)

Very grateful to be able to afford an insulin pump! That said, my insulin pump company is shifting to a subscription model. "The company expects higher lifetime revenue per customer"
