My thoughts on Gaming Alexandria and what it means to me! Enormous thanks to Hubz et al. for being so welcoming!!!

Struck today at random by the thought of how happy I am to be (and be out as) non-binary and to be able to live truthfully to myself. I am exceptionally fortunate to be where I am today.
A lucky Joey indeed!

A big milestone while I wasn't looking, the (in-progress) The Stacks Collection is past 700 publications thanks to the diligence of @metalgearsurvive.bsky.social! I look forward to fleshing this out enough for it to be shown publicly in the coming months, because I think it's pretty swell

Having been fortunate enough to live in and visit France for a decade and a half, I can confidently say the French cannot leave any cuisine alone, they always have to be weird with it.

This can be seen with French tacos.

If I've learned anything over the past decade and a half of living in and visiting France, it's that the French cannot leave any cuisine alone, they always gotta do something weird to it. This is the French version of tacos.

The ramen was good also (if a little odd with how elevated it was)

Went for ramen with my mom today at Kodawari Yokocho and I rather enjoyed the theming (even if it was a bit discordant)

I'll wait as long as it takes for a response!

On a different side of the same.. die?
r/fashion doesn't allow you to mark your gender in your post titles even though, for non-binary people in particular, that's kinda important since it's the difference between being misgendered and being treated appropriately.

I was also the youngest person in the whole museum by probably 25 years, and that's only because my mom was there. But I got to see my baby! Not a copy for once!

Reddit mods really going to my profile -> Bluesky -> Linktree -> E-hentai so they can find a reason to not let me post on their subreddit

Went to the Musée Marmottan Monet today and kept saying “where’s the Monets”

I got to start with lunch at Le Train Bleu and end the day with a yummy strawberry basil cake from the boulangerie around the corner so I’d say it was pretty good all around 😋

Joey has had a pretty good 28th birthday!
November 3, 2025 at 4:24 PM
And considering I spent a good portion of my 27th birthday crying that I wouldn’t end up married, that my education would get me nowhere, that nobody cared about what I was doing, that I’d never truly be attractive, it’s been magnificent to disprove it all and be on an upward trajectory.

Anyways, I thought it was just gonna be itty bitty because my memories from art history courses have been replaced by an intimate familiarity with Monet: Le Mystère de l'Orangerie.

So charming!!!

The Monet house and garden were beautiful

Today Joey is in Giverny

Just by way of example, here's a page from a Coin Journal I did, the print ad itself has nearly identical border sizing all around so this gives a good sense of how much information is lost. It's not GREAT but it means the core intellectual information is preserved and made available

Happy Halloween please pretend I wore this for the occasion.

He's too kind.. I don't deserve him..

My phone showed me some old pics today and I think they show how far I've come !!
