A few friends have sent me $$ to donate to Ayuda Foundation -- my recommended charity for Typhoon Sinlaku relief. They don't accept online donations, so I am mailing them a check. If you'd like to add a donation -- I will send the check Thursday

I've posted three recommendations for supporting local relief efforts for Super Typhoon Sinlaku on my blog

Here are three places you can donate to help with Super Typhoon Sinlaku recovery

Chess the sport/game? Or Chess, the 1980s musical by Björn Ulvaeus and Tim Rice, featuring the song “One Night in Bangkok” by Murray Head?
Either way, I’m intrigued
My thoughts and love are with i mañe’lu-ta going through this now. I’ve been seeing bits as I’m waking up, and it’s truly a lot to see. Praying for continued safety
I play rarely and mostly casually. A lot of it comes down to who I’m playing with. If they’re salty at everything or too “I must win” about it, the more likely I am to internalize stuff. On a failed vibe check I’m finding a new table, decompressing after, & making a therapy session if brain gets bad
Dope art! Fuck cancer!
That Randall’s line 🤣 my cousin in [redacted Austin suburb] would joke that her dad (my late uncle) was single-handedly keeping the Randall’s by his house in business, meanwhile there were two perfectly good HEB locations in driving distance
Respectfully, I’m in awe of both your ability and this photo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Solidarity 🫡
I’ll attempt to get on that when I’m in less back pain. These temperature shifts have my body in a whole mess
This is a very Anna Margaret-coded move, Spice. I’m here for it
Feeling your sadness vicariously, friend. Solidarity ✊🏼😔
Three or more pens, two highlighters, a pencil, a wallet, 1-4 Aldi quarters, mask, AirPods, and keys
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Same here. I’ve been threatening to come back with Lorwyn and TMNT, but the product fatigue among many other things. Trying to cling onto anything to get back/stay in, but an HP collab will tank those chances
IF that UB happens, I WILL question whether I’ll return to Magic tbh
As someone who’s received exactly that kind of invite, I feel that weird pang. I see Magic from a “one foot in, one foot out” perspective, longing for what was but not paying enough attention to the now to really feel part of it. I hang onto my decks, and I’m thankful I’ve got board games
Happy birthday! I’ll be there in 5 years, so give me updates on what to look forward to!

Lilith sends love
I’ve been seeing your occasionally Battletech posts and have been happy to see you’re enjoying that!
Similar, I’m thankful KC has a pretty darn good board game scene (heck, there’s a pretty well-known publisher maybe within a half hour of me). Clawing onto whimsy as best I can!
If it weren’t for (solo) board games like, this would be me. Magic content has slowed to a trickle for me for numerous reasons. All this to say, solidarity, friend. May some sort of spark return to one/both of us 🫡
I feel the discomfort just looking at that
The better question: how do you *make* room in your suitcase?
Sending all the well-wishes I got from my birthday yesterday directly to you on yours. Welcome to the 30 club!
Golgari wins because it’s the only one with a specific topping combo listed
As an aisle seat person, I pick 8. I feel like the Gruulfriends and I can just chat about gay shit and coordinate getting up for bathroom/stretch breaks so we don’t bother each other too much
