Message begins: “I think Taylor Swift is still hotter than a thousand supernovas and Bruce Springsteen is still The Boss of the fucking universe.” Message ends. #TaylorSwift #BruceSpringsteen

Every time I enter or leave my house there is a car driving by, or someone walking, biking, or jogging past. Every. Single. Time. I’m on a dead end street with 18 houses. When do I finally admit that the universe is keeping tabs on me? (Or that I’m a raging paranoid neurotic?)

Here’s my question: if the goal is to establish a uniform ID throughout the nation, then why in the wide, wide world of sports are some states choosing a different symbol to designate what is a Real ID? Most use a star, but California and Washington each use a different symbol. Real stupID. #RealID

Seven years ago, for International Tabletop Day, we gathered down at the local library to 1) play board games and 2) support libraries. Two great activities. #locallibraries #boardgames Winner’s Circle Karuba: The Card Game Noch Mal Keltis: Der Weg der Steine Mitbringspeil

Yes, it’s a small town community theater group, but I still find it fun to audition. #communitytheater

My town is small enough that we still have an ice cream truck that prowls the neighborhoods looking for fresh victims. Every time I hear that creepy-ass calliope music Doppler into and out of hearing range, I have a small panic attack. 🍦🤡 🚚🎶

Carved out some time yesterday to play the solo game, Unreliable Wizard. I had a lot of fun with it, even though my guy was crushed almost halfway through the game. I need to play it again to salvage what’s left of my honor! 😂 #boardgames #UnreliableWizard

Got to remove a couple of games from my “Shelf of Opportunity,” tonight: Circus Flohcati and Beard Wizards. CF is a set collection card game that plays in about 15 minutes and BW can take over an hour. Enjoyed myself quite a bit. #CircusFlohcati #BeardWizards #boardgames

This redbud is near my house, and it just seemed like a good idea to get a picture of it.

So grateful to have this total psychopath as my representative in Congress.

Jess Piper, @piperformissouri.bsky.social is one of the few people in Missouri still willing to address the issues that affect the masses, and one of the very few to call out the foolishness of the powerful. When she speaks, I listen!

A happy Vernal Equinox to all those in the Northern hemisphere for those who care to celebrate it.

I was today years old when I first saw this wonderful piece of cinema. As insightful today as it was over 80 years ago. Unite! youtu.be/J7GY1Xg6X20?...

Okay, got to play a full game of Mondrian: Color in Motion. This is a really fun tile laying game where you get points by jumping pawns and removing them from the board. Plus, I have to admit that I love the color scheme. #boardgames

Respectfully, I disagree. I think Trash did it so that Mollusk has a legal buffer after he was called the head of DOGE in the State of the Union.

This is their goal. Privatize everything: USPS, Amtrak, NOAA, NASA, the Armed Forces, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, Education, the CDC, the National Endowment for the Arts, etc. If you can afford it, you can have it. Otherwise, you’re a serf.

Could someone please explain to the 🍊👑 that Mercator projection maps distort the relative size of land near the planetary poles? Maybe he’d get over his Greenland obsession if he realized it’s about 1.6x bigger than Alaska and not larger than North America. 🙄

Instead of watching the State of the Shitshow Address, I got to play a board game with my brother’s family. Mondrian: Color in Motion is a really fun abstract tile laying game where you will try to capture pieces while creating a big, messy Mondrian style tableau. #GamesofBluesky
