Fiber arts, board games, coffee - in no particular order. English PhD. Alt-ac and proud of it.
Playing #Finspan this evening! I found it easier to navigate more than Wingspan, but I’m not sure if I like it more. Guess I’ve got to play it a few more times. ☺️

The phrase “tempest in a teapot” is used to describe a small thing blown out of proportion, or a big commotion over something small. That’s been my MO since I was a little kid, in good ways and bad.

Several year ago I bought a near derelict sailboat with the intent of renovating and living aboard. My ex thought I was a little crazy.
So I jokingly called my Capt'n Amy the Slightly Mad.
So I'm Capt'n Amy
Footnote: sailboat living never happened.

Some people don’t do #resolutions (I used to skip them), but I’ve made it a point to make them lately. For 2025, I want to be mindful, creative, and kind.

Wrapping up a lovely, chill #Christmas with some hot tea and #Wingspan on the switch. Also got to show off my brand-new Christmas cardigan, which I finished right in time. 😎
#HappyHolidays, y’all. Hope you had a great day, whether celebrating something or not.

I made the executive decision to stop worrying about what I eat until after the new year. Then I’ll care.

Welcome to #Earth. Loved this game! Kinda felt like a cross between Wingspan and a lighter Ark Nova.

In 1984, "party like it's 1999" was an double edged call to seek joy in the face of looming argmageddon
in 2024, "party like it's 1999" is an escapist dream of slipping the JNCOs back on and staying up all night playing Goldeneye while drinking hard ice tea and smoking a pack of Marlboro Lights

Me: We have so many games we haven’t played yet! We should play a few before we buy more.

Long appointment windows rocket my anxiety. Pretty sure this 5-hour one is going to send me into orbit.

Weekend prep for #Wicked. Kiddo really liked #WizardofOz and she has already asked when we can see Wicked again.
