Work has had me busy as all hell so my private lessons have suffered a bit, but I was glad to get back to them last night. @amazenggrace.bsky.social and I made a herb basted salmon steak with Argentinian style Humita and sweet vinegar pomegranate braised veg. Everyone was very happy.

I took this photo for “cozy tea by the fireplace on a rainy morning” vibes but it just looks like the city is on fire

This is complete hogwash

Teddy is here to bring you an important message

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

With Indie games, you can really feel the heart poured into each creation. And sometimes the heart is the clawed-out kind found under a floorboard somewhere Anyway this is the game that most inspires me to make weird art, plus the dev’s sick launch note store.steampowered.com/app/1839810/...

Today is the National Park Service’s birthday! 🥳🏞️ You know what would be a great birthday gift? Not firing staff or cutting funds from the agency responsible for keeping our public lands pristine and accessible!

Belated EOE release celebration selfie ✨

Also this year TurboTax calculated $8,000 fewer in returns than Taxslayer did, for filling out the same info Eight thousand dollars less More than a month of work Because they moved numbers around differently

$5 to charge my car $287 idle fee No more public charging for meee

“Why do these signs have MANDARIN on the back, don’t we live in FUCKING America” She made the angry statement to no one in particular. Two lil blonde kids with her. Didn’t seem to see me standing 10 feet away. Reminder that sometimes normal people *will* just be cartoonishly racist in real life

This is the thing I've been working on for a bit! We have a super cool roster of designers and will be talking a lot about magic design. If you want to get ahead of the rush you can donate now to ask us design questions and we will answer and discuss them on stream. #wotcstaff

Got a voicemail from a strange number just saying “Please. Stop. Calling.” And I learned that my psychological vulnerability to phishing scams isn’t money, love, or urgent viruses on my computer It’s the prospect that I might have annoyed a random person

I recommend clicking the “Why this question” explanation for each question! Some surprising statistics, even for less bubbled folks www.pbs.org/newshour/eco...

This was the best pesto I’ve ever tasted And now I have the power to make it whenever I want, forever

YA media no longer resonates with me, where a handful of plucky kids save the world. Turns out the world is too damn big. But here to pull me out of despair, I now have Clair Obscur’s sad French man saying “For those who come after.” in my ear as I carefully deconstruct my coffee cup for recycling

Finding this in the mail made my day To my fellow Gen Z and other internet natives— Consider mailing a handwritten letter to a friend today. You can meme just as hard in paper

Being bilingual means you sometimes get to hear people talking about you even though you’re three feet away! Overheard today: Father: Look son, there’s a girl with a corgi Son: What is the dog doing? Father: It’s eating sand Son: What a stupid little dog Father: Yes you are correct

Playing Clair Obscur. The bass drops. Boots and cats begin. A choir sings a song of desperation and fire. Dear god, the music didn’t need to go this hard for a fight against a Potatosack

I actually broke my streak like 6 times but HEY

Been playing a bunch of Temur sealed. Here’s the best deck so far ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

Filing taxes. Please clap.

It’s Teddy’s birthday today

Subjective question: What should the ideal bsky feed should look like? My bsky algorithm is mostly political content, and I think that’s been pretty unhealthy for me. Thinking of disengaging until I figure out what a good experience for the space looks like

Most expensive format

do any americans go overseas, ride a bullet train, and think: nah, we don't need this?

Teddy would do a *great* Loot cosplay

When I joined, VML was a discord of a few dozen people. It was remarkable to see the community’s rise thanks to the efforts of passionate people. I earnestly look forward to seeing the VMLs people will make

I was one of the VML players who went on to work at Wizards. Speaking personally, I’m sad about the news but also very stressed(?) about how many people seem to be blurring this news with current events, maybe due to its timing

It’s the new year, and I’m once again thinking about being a girl™ and the services I provide by being a girl™ Some examples:

I will forever stand on the hill labelled "stop judging the need for a bridge by counting how many people swim across the river" Public transport doesn't just shift journeys between modes (as important as that is!), it creates new journeys and new possibilities that wouldn't otherwise exist

Amazing

If you’ve ever felt socially awkward, take solace that at least you’re not that guy who followed me into a coffee shop, asked “where are you from” and immediately followed that up with “wow Seattle? That’s so cool haha can I move in with you”

I arrived at my aunt’s house today for our holiday gathering, greeted by a feast of homemade dim sum. She set a bowl of noodle soup aside for me and said “This one is for you! I know you don’t eat meat so I put an egg in it to keep you alive.” And that is what love is, I think

Spent the morning bustling around the airport only to miss my flight. The holiday stress of all the travelers is palpable. I overheard at least one person yelling at a service agent over the phone

My Involuntary Carwash 2024 Wrapped Number of times I’ve put a drink on my car to free up my hands while I do something else: 8 Number of times I’ve remembered to grab the item before driving off: 2

Oh this reminds me of that time in Ireland last summer when I might’ve met a leprechaun I’m waiting in line to buy a cross-country train ticket, and this man in strange green clothing slowly goes down the line making aggressive eye contact with each person.

Listen this might sound crazy but does anyone here believe in clowns? Met a cheery woman at the dog park Her dogs’ names were Jolly and Happy As we say goodbye, she unlocks her car Instead of going “beep beep” it does a loud clown nose honk Idk guys I think I might’ve met a real genuine clown

Did booster box sealed tonight, where everyone built a 60 card deck from a standard-legal booster box of their choice. Deckbuilding with ~500 cards is hard! I reluctantly gave up the dream Rooms deck to go with Duskmourn’s UW enchantments. Played exactly like a DSK draft that went very well 🥰

Elevator music, but nerdier

Went to phone store to help my little sister replace her busted phone. I was so focused on trying to be discerning about the fine print —monthly plan upgrades, trade-in discounts, insurance add-ons, blah blah blah… …that I failed to notice the case+screen protector they sold us was $150 (╥﹏╥)

I relate to this photo because I too am not a government plant 🌱

Short story about how I am now working for a mob of crows in addition to wotc Sometimes the office tries to lure us remote workers in by offering free food. It 100% works on me One time, a brunch event had a surplus of food, so I ended up bringing home a dozen croissants

Hi I’m Grace (she/her) If you’ve ever played Arena and been asked “Are you sure?” that’s the kind of work I do I’m on bsky after 8 years of no social media because I want motivation to practice writing. Social accountability! (￣^￣)ゞ

It’s so much fun to see everyone’s unique topics and styles. Embedded videos? Unhinged
