Fun game @phantooom.bsky.social just invented: for each evergreen keyword ability, what is the card that uses it best? For example: Celestial Colonnade is the best use of vigilance, Ball Lightning is the best use of Trample, etc.

The Girl with a Pearl Witness—continuing my hobby of complimentarily de-TERFing cards for cubers everywhere (internationally, this time!)

Amazing Yakima update: the owner of the AirBnb in whose yard we found Yakima sent me this message today 😭😭😭 She’s happy and healthy and it all worked out!!

Encountered a bumper sticker today that I now really want to slap on all of my new cube creations

A few weeks ago @anthony.luckypaper.co and I flew all the way across the country to attend Inland Northwest Cube Fest. @janemckinney.bsky.social put together probably my favorite menu of cubes for an event like this. We talk about our experience on this week's episode: luckypaper.co/podcast/263-...

I'm sleeping at my parents, post breakup. I get out to my car to grab what I left in there last night, and both passenger tires are completely flat. I can't do this. 😭

I gotta find a place to live, and now replace my tires. I've never done this, and feel sick about it, but can y'all help me out?

Cube updating doesn’t always go as planned.

Sometimes your editorial assistant decides that it’s time for a nap break before you’ve managed to actually make any changes.

A locus deck from The Ball Pit went 2-1 this weekend with Door to Nothingness as its wincon. Pure joy (though I’ve since cut down on the number of Loci available).

INW CubeFest 2025 this past weekend was a blazing success. ~50 folks, infinite fun, one 7-pod of 100 Ornithopters whose drafters asked me to hop in as head judge to round out the pod, and which I 3-0’d with some chagrin… can’t wait to do it again next year.

Seven stones for seven years.

Most marriages only come with one proposal, but our little life together has certainly not been “normal.” We’re functionally different humans from 2018.

On the seventh anniversary of our wedding, the new Emily proposed to the new Jane. The answer was obvious.

Yakima is now safe with her owner.

Friends and I got back to our BNB today to find a large dog hiding under our deck, with a *very* bad leg wound that looked a few days old. Collar, no tag. The island’s vet is closed. Police located a woman with a lost dog who picked her up crying. I need a nap.

INW CubeFest will be the first cube event I’m aware of to have live music during free play on the night of July 19th. What’s more “small, local event” vibes than a small, local jazz combo?
