My #SmallBusinessSaturday order just arrived here in Portland! 😍 A couple bottles for me, a few for my niece for her birthday since she and I were the only ones with manicures at Thanksgiving. 💅

The gaff failed about two hours in while getting up from my desk to get water 😒, thus I sat on one of my boys a couple seconds later. 😬 So it got replaced with normal panties before lunch… but 2 hours is a personal record. 😊 Sadly that side of the day had to come to a close with school letting out.

That sounds like a list full of folks worth subscribing to! Or at least making a feed out of.

out there who are suffering through thanksgiving with judgmental bio-family this weekend, either suppressing who they are, or gritting and bearing it. Just remember what @verawylde.bsky.social would say: You are beautiful, you are valid, you are loved. That’s what I’m thankful for this year. ☮️❤️🏳️‍🌈

I just need to do the green bean casserole tomorrow before/after the long drive. Plus I put a ham dinner on the table for my household today. And I didn’t have to talk to any of my Trumpist family! I know that is a privilege I have, that there are a great many ⏭️

Okami. (I assume by updated gameplay you mean new story, so it’s not just an “HD port”.)

Interesting. I didn’t realize they had tracking to that granularity.

Does the time “checked out” matter for either case? EG, if I check out one of your books and read it in a week and return it, is that different from your side than if I’ve had it checked out for several years now, but haven’t opened it yet? (Not that any of *your* books have languished in my list.)

Any plans to go after the government offices that purchased said data? Apply a little of that oversight we hired you for? (Note: I’m proud to say I have voted for you every election I’ve been able to, keep up the good work!)

So I’ve had 8 lavender and 2 random other colored nails the last few days… I get it now. 😊 I don’t think I’m going to go just totally random… but if I had a set of somewhat related hues, I would totally mix it up again. And of course I’m always down for themed palates or a single contrasting accent!

So when I redid those two, I said what the hell and did them in different colors. The magenta is one my wife had. Our son picked out the sparkly blue while we were wandering the pharmacy after our shots—this is why they were rushed, I lost track of time and we had to get going to our appointment. ⏭️

In no particular order and off the top of my head:

Scrabble
Carcassonne (with a couple expansions)
Codenames (especially with a group of 8+)
Pandemic
Ticket to Ride (especially the Rails & Sails edition)
Potion Explosion (with 5th and 6th, if needed)
Takenoko
Bunny Kingdom (with expansion)

I wish more folks in my local gaming circles were willing to play it. I keep hearing groans when I suggest it so it lives on my shelf. :(

Since it’s an important message, here is the text in an accessible format: “Most of these people wouldn’t know what socialism is even if the mailman delivered their Social Security check on a road just plowed by the city, past a fire station funded by their taxes, on the way to a public school… 1/2
