Here is a quick greyhound story.

A few years back, we went to a greyhound sanctuary, to get a new greyhound, because our beloved previous one had passed.

Some of you remember this, maybe. There were two we fell in love with, we asked YOU guys which one to take.

1/

And you of course said, BOTH, and we are weak in the face of greyhound adorableness, so we took both home.

One had been a breeder, and she was fairly socialized already, Elektra. The other had an injury, so she had almost no human contact and was scared of everything.

2/

We named her Vixen, after the DC Character.

She was very, very scared for a long time. The first night, she just stood in a corner and shivered and drooled.

Many greyhounds get almost NO human interaction, and don't know how to be dogs at all.

Kryptonian incels were all about seismic skepticism on their goofyass youtube shows.

“Oh, sure, like the world’s going to explode…well what about muh FREEDOM, Jor-El, you SNOWFLAKE.”

Give me a headline for a typical Kryptonian incel YouTube show!

Guys. GUYS.

Today’s #TableTopGails journey is a super fun one because it’s different from all the others.

A lot of people have said gaming is an expensive hobby, and it really can be. Collectible games and KS games can run into the three figures easy.

So I did a thing.

1/

I decided to look online and see if I could find a good deal on a box of games I knew NOTHING about.

The idea was to see if I could make a small starter game library for less than the cost of many big box games.

Yesterday the box arrived. THIRTY POUNDS OF GAMES.

@Tabletop_Deals

No is paying me for any of these, nor did they send them like most of the games I receive. I looked at my favorite gaming bargain site, @Tabletop_Deals (I really do look every day) and found a sale and just ordered like a big goober.

I know NOTHING about these games!

Today’s #TeaGame for #TabletopGails is the lovely, calming GENTLE RAIN, from @MondoNews Games!

It’s a simple, enjoyable tile placement game that plays great solo or with more players.

@KevinWilson42

Created by @KevinWilson42, you place matching tiles of a tranquil lake, and when you can match a square block of four, you place a round wooden ‘blossom’ in the center.

You have eight blossoms and must place them all before running out of tiles.

2/

The ‘lies’ are really beautiful in themselves, so even if you ‘lose,’ it’s fun to play. It’s the only game where the instructions tell you to wear loose clothes and drink good tea, I think.

One time, at a con in Chicago, a reader I had never met asked me to help propose to his girlfriend. She was going to wait in line, and he wanted me to give her the ring, and sign 'Will you marry _____?' on a comic.

I agreed, but was nervous...

1/

...because I didn't know him OR his girlfriend. I have done similar proposal things in the past, but this one made me nervous for some reason.

I don't do this anymore because it puts a lot of extra pressure on the person being proposed to.

BUT.

2/

@RocketSpouse

I had a huge line, I was completely swamped. So the guy asked if he could bring her back later that afternoon, like six hours later.

So I agreed, but couldn't really talk because of the line. So I said, set it up with my husband, @RocketSpouse.

I have a little topic that I had almost forgotten about, that came to mind recently. A bunch of years ago, before going pro in comics, before Women In Refrigerators, I asked a question of fans, and clearly the answers today would be very different.

Here we go.

1/

When I first got internet in my tiny town, it was expensive and unreliable, but I loved it because it was the first time I could ever talk about my love of comics with other people. At that particular time, there were a lot fewer VOCAL female readers than now, it seemed.

2/

I was absolutely not an activist, nor was I aspiring to be a pro. I was a hairdresser.

But I was curious why it seemed like so few women were talking about reading comics. It took a while to find them...they were out there, but they didn't all hang where the guys did.
