A little re-intro post from me!

I'm from Liverpool but currently living in Manchester with my partner and our fish Finneas Flotsam.

I'm a HUGE gamer, especially anything Nintendo. I love Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Ace Attorney, Final Fantasy and Sonic.

I work in social media (and so does my partner!)

I'm very much a "you don't need to throw away your childhood once you're an adult" kind of person, but when people's childhood books are now funding the discrimination and possible elimination of a marginalised group, you'd at least have a think about it!

This is why we've been telling people not to do things like buy the Hogwarts Legacy game, and people responded with "but I just wanna see what it's like"

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

When you're having a quiet drink on Canal Street and a queen from Church / Barpop comes over to tell you about the karaoke they have on tonight

A Little Sip Of Coffee For Scolipede Please? A Little Sip Would Not Hurt Scolipede. Please Put Cup On Snout For A Little Sip For Scolipede Just A Little Taste

Enormous alpha Scolipede in Pokémon za looking down at my player character’s outdoor cafe table in the silent imploring way only very big dogs are able to do, staring down silently, being Very Good about simply not leaning down and grabbing it

Absolute nightmare person in IKEA shouting at their kids, shouting at the staff, and then complaining that the self-service tills stress them out.

I get the impression they stress everyone around them out.

(Some people should be forced to work customer service so they have compassion for others)

Thank you!

If there's one thing that brings together queer people, it's calling out Manchester Pride.

Reasons why today is a good day:

- Pokémon Legends Z-A
- Also we're getting a takeaway

Caroline really loves the sound of her own voice

Alex Duffy @alexlduffy.bsky.social · 14d

Caroline went into the kitchen expecting someone else to have her back, and they didn't. We love to see it. #BBUK

This is how I feel every time there's a football match on

Question to anyone who has received an autism diagnosis in the UK: how long did it take to get your diagnosis?

I've been waiting for six months, and I recognise that it can take a while - mainly just hoping to understand roughly when I'll get some resolution!

I know we've just gotten a stork Pokémon with Bombirdier, but I'd love to get another one.

It'd be cool to get a Fairy/Flying type with an ability like Pickup but for adding Pokémon eggs to your party if there's space.

I truly do not care about romance in the Big Brother house. #BBUK

Genuinely think I need to go for a hearing test.

Looks wise or personality wise? I'll take either!

No matter who's up against Zelah, I'm voting to keep Zelah in. He's genuinely my fave in the house and he needs to stay. #BBUK

Alex Duffy @alexlduffy.bsky.social · 29d

Hoping Emily is gone properly, and not just in a side house or something. #BBUK

Overall, very underwhelmed with the premiere. The last two years had at least a few people who shone immediately, but I don't quite get the same feeling this time.

This is a season which 100% needs some late entrants.

Or just get a cat.
