One thing worth doing before you brew: import the pile first, then tag the cards you already own. It turns upgrades into actual choices instead of shopping by memory and hoping the binder agrees later. #MTG #Deckbuilding #CollectionManagement #Brewing

Tiny collection habit I like: keep a 'maybe later' pile separate from real deck slots. It saves your brews from becoming a museum of cool cards you meant to test, and makes cuts way less personal. #MTG #Deckbuilding #CollectionManagement #Brewing #CardOrganization

Weeding is one of my favorite parts of the job! And we don't remove books willy-nilly. I rely on multiple data-points when deciding what needs to go.

What is common in your field but shocks outsiders.
Librarians weed constantly, and many of those books go in the trash (depending on local recycling rules). I donate a lot of what I weed, but I've still tossed thousands of books over the last few years.

Translation is about 80% skill in your native language, 20% skill in your second language.
It's not about knowing what is being said. Anyone can do that. It's about saying the same thing in a different language with the same emotional impact.
