Figured I'd post a little more "about me"/things you'll find on this account info.
Regrettably, y'all will have to deal with this covering a number of topics - because I have a lot of interests.

Magic the Gathering predicted the world’s present problems long ago.

Magic the gathering card “Maga traitor to mortals.” It’s an ugly looking wizard channeling red magic.

I think it would get them invested to be the first ones to play, and that’d make them a hype team of sorts. But yes that does complicate things.

Might be worth it to try to develop something like an ARC team for books? Not sure if Steam would see that as review manipulation though.

And when you use your local library… this is actually good for the library! Being able to point to numbers and data of how many people are using library services is something libraries use to justify the funding they receive and to get more.

Go to the library. This makes the library better.

JENNA: So Taylor Swift wrote a diss track about me.
TRACY: How'd know it's about you?
JENNA: Everything's about me.
TRACY: Oh I get it, like when they call the next number at the DMV.
JENNA: And look at this! Barbie, coke, song, adorable, Chihuahua, it's exactly my last weekend with Micky Rourke.

Forgot the word “Tylenol” and ended up asking my roommate if he had any autism. He knew exactly what I meant.
