Alec

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.

Things I’m grateful for today: The financial security to be able to pay a $1300 emergency vet bill without panic. Supportive friends that I was able to panic post at when everything was happening. Here’s the pretty little problem child looking perfectly content at the emergency vet. (Liar!)

Hey @diceenvy.bsky.social, any chance you can help me identify a few sets I know I purchased from you but can’t find on the website anymore to get the set names? Any help would be appreciated. 1 was probably a mystery HD set and may not have a set name.

Planning in recovery days after trips or big multi-day events is probably some of the best self care I can actually remember to do for myself. Slept in, watched some tv, washing machine cleaning cycle, put a few things away, ate both lunch & dinner, played a chill video game all evening. 😌

The happiest of book birthdays to Be Sure Volume II by @seananmcguire.bsky.social! 📚 The second collection in her multi-Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series, containing: Book 4: In an Absent Dream Book 5: Come Tumbling Down Book 6: Across the Green Grass Fields

I don’t know what I’m going to use them for (yet), but @arielleishere.bsky.social continues to be absolutely amazing when I message her random “hey, can you make this?” ideas for things I just *must have*. Love them!

Trying one more time, because I'm sure they'll be gone today if they aren't already. Anyone? #NYCC

Bringing this up again in hopes someone is able to help me out.

Anyone going to NYCC that can be my proxy and pick me up the signed NYCC edition of ASTARION with the d20 from the Penguin Random House booth (#3021) for $60? I am happy to coordinate payment and shipping.

You're never too old to get excited about seeing a really big tree.

This is amazing! Depending on costs, this could be an absolute game changer for folks. Their own mobility scooter that can fit in the backseat of a car with their chair without the need to rent/transport a full scooter.

When you blocked someone on this platform, I really wish it actually removed their follow rather than just hiding them from my Followed By list (not sure if it hides them entirely or just from my view). I blocked four or five spam accounts this week and yet my follower count hasn't gone down.

I have two cats curled up snoozing in this room and it is not helping me with this at all.

It is raining and I can actually hear it on the roof. This just makes me want to go back to bed.

Mail day! My @blackoakworkshop.bsky.social Advent-ure Calendars have arrived! Perfect timing to start one tomorrow. This time we've got one 31-day, and two 24-day calendars, so I'll be doing the 31-day for October. As always, I look forward to chatting with Craig in a few weeks at Gamehole Con.

In 2 months, I will be in NYC seeing my first play on Broadway. I'm almost afraid to get excited since the first time I tried to see this production on the West End, there was fuckery and the entire trip didn't happen.

Post-Season incoming 👀

This book is SO good.

I’ve been off work since Thursday. I don’t want to go back to work tomorrow. Capitalism sucks.

Would you like some pelicans?

Fun mail day. New book by @brandonsanderson.com. Adorable plush. Sticker sheet. The concussion slug is so soft. It’s a good size too.

If you know me in the meat space and are local, come buy some of my crap.

I've never watched K-Pop Demon Hunters, but Kelly Clarkson covered "Golden" for her very last Kellyoke on the last episode of @kellyclarksontv.bsky.social, and I've been watching reaction videos to see everyone geeking out. So now I've got that song firmly stuck in my head. youtu.be/py_P2TI-gNg?...

If not for Tim Curry, Brennan wouldn't have gotten a job at CollegeHumor, and Dropout would be a very different place today...

Fuck. Now Peter Cullen? How dare the universe snatch the voice of my favourite Disney character.

Could the universe just...not?

Seeing photos of your friends in one of their happy places brings me happiness.

I'll do a few. Different movie on each line. "Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full." "My name's not fucking 'Warren'!" "You work on commission, right? Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now." "I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground."
