Cretaceous Rails, designed by a trans woman, yours truly, passes another Harry Potter game on the overall BGG rankings overnight. And on a day like today, I will take what satisfaction I can get!

“Troubadour Frog” is when those C-cups finally come in and you master voice training.

I’m not sure about this ranking chart for solo Pondscape. Is it actually a transition timeline? Either way, “Leggy Tadpole” sounds pretty damn aspirational!

It’s the night before Origins! I’m snug in my Vrbo in K-pop Demon Hunter PJs, Pumaman on the TV, freshly read sapphic romance on the table, amazing Piccola’s pizza in my tummy, and learning a new solo game (Legacy of Yu). Life is good!
