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.

Bumping in hopes @blackoakworkshop.bsky.social sees this at some point.
I just inventoried the @blackoakworkshop.bsky.social Treasure Chest dice (125 mystery dice) that I purchased, and there's only 10 I could not identify what their official name/set is.
Shockingly, there's a d20 with an actual number on the 20 face which is super rare for Black Oak.

45 is starting out pretty good.
Took the day off. Yummy McDonald’s breakfast, haircut, treated myself to some new dice, Wicked: For Good matinee, delicious burrito for lunch, swung in and got a tour of my tattoo shop’s new location, another errand and then back home for my normal Friday evening.

Yes, this is directed at a specific person. And if they try to refund me, I will just mail them cash. 😇😁

I have a lot of books. I have a spreadsheet I've been using to compile an inventory which works fairly well, but it's just a spreadsheet.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the LibraryThing or Libib tools? Just wondering about user experience and recs either way.

Froze my butt off standing in the back yard looking at the Northern Lights tonight. I was actually able to see some of the brightest with the naked eye for the first time. But of course the camera makes things amazing. I took so many photos.
