Wingspan is a much more complicated game. The whole premise of this game is that the cards help opponents and hurt you. I am not ripping anyone off. This is just a game I made up for fun. I arbitrarily picked birds because I wanted to draw birds. You may have played Wingspan but you haven't played Nest, so please don't make accusations like that based on 3 cards a small artist posted on their tumblr

I'm funny

[Image ID: Three cards from the card game Nest fanned out beside the deck. The card Duck has a picture of a mallard with a green head and brown wings. The text below says: Quack. Give a card from your nest to the hand of the first player who quacks back. The second card is a Cow Bird. The art is of a blueblack bird with a brown head on a branch. The text below says Play this card in an opponents nest. That player then chooses a card from their nest to add to your hand. The last card is the Arctic Tern. The art is of a white bird with black feathers on the top of its head. The text below says take another turn. End ID]

Lol have you ever played wingspan?

In this game, you are trying to collect points for your nest but almost all of the cards help your opponents.

It's time for another episode of Good Idea, Bad Idea

[Image ID: lightbulbs replace the 'o's in "good idea." Under that is the phrase "go to class early" in American Sign Language. Then the words "bad idea" with a lightbulb over the 'i'. Under that is the phrase "go to class naked" in American Sign Language. End ID]

I've had a couple of messages over the last few days from folks saying things like, "Sorry, I can only afford to get your book through the library," and I need you to know I am gripping you by the shoulders, I am shaking you gently, and I am begging you stop apologizing for using library services.

After Amazon and Payhip, the quarterly checks I get from Overdrive/Libby are my biggest and most reliable source of income.

My readers have been nothing but feral in their quest to get Hunger Pangs into as many libraries as possible, and while library lending pays an exceptionally modest amount, if enough people do it (which many of you evidently are), those pennies add up.

I am guaranteed at least $20 a month in library lending royalties. That might not sound like much to some folks, but to me, that's my b12 supplements covered for the month. That's the thing I need to keep me alive paid for.

I will never resent anyone who uses libraries instead of buying books.

I'm a disabled author who lives month to month at the mercy of my medical expenses. Even though I have incredibly generous patrons and supporters, I know what it's like to not be able to afford things.

Use the library. Please.

Use it guilt-free. You're helping the library and the authors, probably more than you realize.

And if you're in the US and haven't signed up for a @queerliblib free library card yet, you should! it doesn't matter what state you're in, the Queer Liberation Library offers free access to their catalogue of queer media across the US.

And if you've got the means, maybe help them out with a little donation. They're only able to expand their collection via the support of their patrons, and the work they're doing is hugely important.
