alvie's cozy corner is an independent blog started by me (alvie) in April of 2026. Welcome! These are a collection of thoughts, life updates, fiction pieces (as I feel like it), and summaries of little projects intended for my friends and family. If you're a future friend, you're welcome too 😊
This is my little cozy corner of the internet. Make it yours, too.
About me
Hi all, I'm Alvie.
- My pronouns are they/them 🏳️🌈
- I'm a Software Engineer right now, and a student in library school 📚
- I live in Colorado with my wonderful partner Lydia (who did the logo design!), as well as a cat, rabbit, and gecko 💓
- I like, and may write about:
- Tech, both old and new
- Textile arts
- Obscure history facts
- Plants
- Video games
- Lefty theory (I'll do my best not to be annoying about it)
- Cooking!
- Anything else that happens to tickle my brain
Most everything you'll see on this site is written by me. Every single word will be written by a human, no exceptions.
No paywall
Come here and read stuff. I don't publish for money – this is purely for the love of the game.

What the heck is this website?
I built alvie's cozy corner using a platform called Ghost. You can self-host or pay them for a hosted plan, and I probably will write at some point about what self-hosting looks like.
The theme for this site is based off of Godofredo's Simply theme, with a bunch of tweaks by me. Any contributors are credited in the footer.
