This gives me an excuse to shop book sales for great deals and to buy more books that I know I ain’t got room for. Each book has a little card on the back and post it flags for annotation. Students are loving it so far.

Unexpected summer surgery sucks, but what doesn’t suck is being able to recuperate with my 2 snuggle bunnies, Donkey Kong Bananza and my new favorite LogitechG headset, the G522, with the LED lights set to match my joycon accent colors. They sound great and are super light! #ad

Haven’t been playing a lot of games while I heal, but I have been chipping away at some of my smaller Lego kit stash. Now to figure out what to start tomorrow.

Me: I really wanna play the new Donkey Kong game, but I don’t know if I’m up to driving yet after my surgery.
@motorespawns.bsky.social : Have it delivered!
Me: Bet!
Walmart delivery (no one else had it available for delivery):

Worst summer break ever. Have had to replace our central air unit and evict a gallbladder, both unexpectedly. Luckily “Pea’s Nana” is here to help hold things down. Also kid bought me an adorable “Happy you didn’t die” sloth at the hospital gift shop…so win?

Mental note to self…do not try to turn a sock heel while listening to/viewing student final projects. That won’t be a sock any human can wear.
Guess who had to tink back?
Second time’s a charm.

Pea’s first midnight launch. We are home, drenched to the bone, but we have consoles (physical games arrive tomorrow)! We had a blast giggling and chatting and I’d do it all again.
Mom’s Switch 2 will be here by Saturday, but she won’t be here for a couple of weeks so it’s fine!

Unsurprisingly my #SouthOfMidnight shorts are getting a lot of traction on other platforms. Not because of me, but because @compulsiongames.bsky.social has folks out here celebrating Black joy in the rural South.

Gamers really are one extreme or the other. I get two kinds of messages after playing CoD.
1. Friend requests
2. Messages calling me a cheater.
I’m sure 99% of the folks I play with just think I’m mediocre AF and they wouldn’t be wrong. 😂

As someone who is currently grinding melee camos I would like to thank #CallofDuty & #Treyarch from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
I would name my first child after you, but she’s 16 now and kind of attached to the name she has…
New Perk coming in Season 3!
