Just a warning for anyone who wanders in here because I said something cool somewhere about comic books, RPGs, or libraries... my feed here is mostly me babbling about videogames (or my transition) 🤣

Any other lesbians (or non-lesbian varieties of Sapphic) out there think my niece Asha is pretty?
I'll reskeet some of her photos in the comments if you're unfamiliar.

Getting out of bed before dawn to the sound of the child screaming about how they spilled their fish crackers and some went down the vent and they don't want to go to the kitchen for more...
May have been part of why I crawled back into bed.

I swear, almost every time one of you mentions celebrating a birthday or a milestone or something I feel the bit in my bio about 'older than you' carve out a bit more of the cartilage between my bones.

Last night's poor sleep has left me in a weird headspace today.
If nothing else, it should make going to bed tonight *super* easy 😅

Big thanks to everyone who weighed in, but especially @buchans.bsky.social who suggested the one that I ended up getting.
It may be black, but at least I was able to make the logo pulse an ominous pink.

All I want is a symmetrical 5-button mouse, with one button on each side, ideally corded USB connectivity.
Do these rare beasts exist any longer? (for under A Lot Of Money in price?)

you should go out of your way to use your trans friends' names when you talk to them
they chose their names and they feel it in their chests when they hear or see it
we waited our whole lives to hear our real names and it doesn't get old

Had an old photo pop up of a program I used to do at the library, where people would use our mobile laptop lab and a projector to play ARTEMIS, a multiplayer spaceship bridge simulator.
Crivens but that was a fun program to teach/watch

I really need to remember that a Mai Tai is already like a drink and a half, so a double is more like three drinks than two.

So, back shortly after I came out, my friend @zzzzaeriz.bsky.social told me one of the reasons he thought I was probably trans was because when I've had a little bit of alcohol I'm prone to getting all 'I love you guys, you're my friends' and let me tell you I am there 🤣😅
