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.

I was taught that when putting media (movies, CDs, etc) in alphabetical order by title, 'A' and 'The' were to be ignored if they were the first word.
So something like 'The Adventures of Priscilla' would go before 'Aladdin' on the shelf.

GATES OF GARNET AND GOLD comes out tomorrow, and takes us back to the story of Nancy Whitman and her days in the Halls of the Dead. As this is an odd-numbered book, it takes place *after* EVERY HEART A DOORWAY: she's already been sure. She's gone home. So why are we seeing her again?

Ahh yes, the back-to-work headache.
Off for a week, no headaches. Back at work for 3 hours and I want to rip the back of my skull off.

I spent the last days of 2025 re-watching the first season of The West Wing (it's back on Netflix in the US if other people need this information).
I've forgotten what it is to have a government that actually governs and tries to uplift all of its people rather than destroy absolutely everything.

Ugh, I hate it when websites randomly don't let you log in because you're on a VPN. I thought there was an issue and reset my password, only for it not to let me log in with my new password. Pause VPN, and logs right in.

I keep wanting to say something, and I keep not knowing what to say.
The trans community does not harm cis people by existing. They are just trying to live their lives, same as anyone else. That life doesn't look exactly like mine; my life doesn't match anyone else's. That's okay.

I'm actually going to make a New Year's resolution for the first time in forever.
Even if it's cute, don't buy useless shit that's just going to sit around.
Example in next post.

Giving Waterfox a try. I've been using Edge with a Chrome backup just for ease of access, but I like the anti-AI and pro-privacy Waterfox offers.
Only just grabbed it, so we'll see how it goes.

I didn't have emailing @baldwin.senate.gov at 6:30am on my bingo card, but I did. So disappointing.
This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

If you're not going to use Alt Text, don't post images. If the original post doesn't have Alt Text? Don't re-skeet it.
I'm sick and tired of my timeline flooded with shit that is on my muted terms list because people are too fucking lazy to add Alt Text.
Wish I could just hide any post without it.

Always thankful for a @motherlandsrpg.bsky.social KS update/check in.
Hopeful @greenroninpub.bsky.social's ongoing fight is resolved in their favour as I'm sure that'd help Motherlands also get some traction.
I know that this project WILL be fulfilled.

Slept like shit. Just want to go back to bed. But I've already got the remainder of my PTO scheduled for the rest of the year and there is no wiggle room.
This is when I wish caffeine actually did something.

I'm finishing up designing my 2026 cat calendar today. I need something witty for the cover.
2024 (default text):
A PUURFECT YEAR
Time spent with a cat is never wasted
2025:
GET THREE HE SAID
It'll be fun!
I need something amusing, and possibly punny for 2026. Any ideas?
