Hi all, I’m Alec, a Trans geek in my 40s.
I love reading, travelling, playing video games (no streaming), creating spreadsheets for my many collections. I watch a lot of football ⚽, and I may have an unhealthy love of Dr Pepper.
I have three cats and I’m always willing to post photos.

Froze my butt off standing in the back yard looking at the Northern Lights tonight. I was actually able to see some of the brightest with the naked eye for the first time. But of course the camera makes things amazing. I took so many photos.

There is no true marriage equality until there is also disabled marriage equality
We can’t get married without losing our benefits cuz somehow our partner(s) income counts as ours

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

A holiday I can get behind! Remember, 5,000 total pre-orders is enough to get the first print Magic novel since 2019 onto the bestseller lists and re-establish the print fiction line with a bang.
It's Preorder Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos Tuesday! You know, the day of the week where we all make sure we preordered Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos! If we all do our part, we can confuse and confound the Random House Worlds imprint into greenlighting a sequel! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/747400...

I just sleeved all of @jenniferbrozek.bsky.social’s DEAR PENPAL, BELGIUM 1980 and put it in a binder.
No risk of losing any of the letters this way, and super handy for re-reading.
(I may eventually add the stickers to my stash if they get annoying in the sleeves with the colouring pages.

Only @seananmcguire.bsky.social can start a chapter with 'Fortunately, it was just a minor skull fracture...' and readers will just nod and continue reading.

Legit, I hung around with stoners at college and although they offered me stuff, that was just them being polite and wanting to share. There was no pressure.
Whereas with AI it's been jammed in every piece of of software I use without asking. Often without even telling me, either.

This one was dice heavy (yay) because Chessex dropped blind boxes (little mimics in the back) and both @roll4initiative.bsky.social and @blackoakworkshop.bsky.social had scoops available.

Disabled people should be allowed to get married without losing our healthcare. We shouldn’t have to choose between weddings and staying alive. In 2025 we still have no marriage rights or property rights. We never have, and it’s total shit. Fuck Eugenics, we deserve so much better.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Gamehole Con is officially over for me. I am home and now it's time to put all my stuff away, catch up on email, and just chill with @vysorenofvord.bsky.social for the evening. Sadly, he's going back home tomorrow.

@latiajacquise.com always runs the best games. A party make up of sorcerers, rogues, and a warlock pulled off a heist.
More fun (and time) was spent planning and prepping for the heist than the heist itself.

Continuing this year, I am offloading the heaps of extra dice bags I have for free. New this year, a much better, and readable sign that will hopefully help me offload even more than last year.
