7-2 for 85th at #RQHouston
I actually feel... Pretty great about prep and play throughout the day. I think I could've played my win & in differently but largely stand by my lines
Played 7 mirrors and 2 Yi, only losing two mirrors to die rolls and close games.
Game rules :)

Ope. Apparently I'm one of the feature matches for Round 8 :)
6-1 at #RQHouston. I believe a win next round locks me for Day 2/top cut so pls send energy.

it rules that every day now is just watching everything in your life get more expensive and worse and then also constantly being told that nothing is more expensive or worse

If JK Rowling herself doesn't separate her art from her transphobia, and has said she sees every Harry Potter fan as a fan of her transphobia, and uses every dollar she makes to fund transphobia, I need people to stop insisting they "separate art from artist" because it's beyond disingenuous atp

Had a nice Riftbound day yesterday ft a few hours of playtesting in the morning into a Skirmish. The tournament boiled down to us and another testing discord on each side of T4 (with @bsweitz123.bsky.social's Ahri knocking me out in said semis 😵💫)

I spent the first Thanksgiving with my sisters in a decade in my own home, surrounded by other friends and loved ones. My heart and belly are full.

This video was v sentimental for me
The Niv I played is signed by the 2019 Game Knights crew bc I was the first person outside of WotC to play the card (before I was a Wizard!) on their show
Having it at the helm of a deck on SUP 6 years later full of stuff I worked on was a real full-circle moment
