I'm Mel! Just a nerd who can't sit on a chair correctly but shrimp gremlins her way through work anyway. 🤓
My day job's in immigration, but I've been wiggling my way into applying my writing/editing skills in games. I was a loc editor for the Switch version of Tokyo Xanadu eX+! Hoping for more! 💫

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt.
This is cruel and unnecessary.
If you receive a notice, send it to us and we'll try to help.

Anyway went to the rescue to visit my girls since they're still there through Magfest. Got to see them, my potential new boy, and the other sick and/or elderly lads. Apparently Mythra has been pissing some of the other ferrets. Also she is the ONLY ONE who bites. Typical Mythra. I love my baby girl.

Thinking about doing a stream today or tomorrow to 1) catch up in FFXIV and 2) talk about my Antarctica trip?
My introverted ass is lowkey dreading talking about the same thing a bajillion times, so I feel like that will make it only half a bajillion.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times
Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well:

Finally found an airport that is worse than Miami... Ezeiza in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Literally what the fuck!!!!
I'm so glad our first round in this airport weeks ago entailed me sitting in a wheelchair.
Anyway, boarding, then homebound...
