Hi btw I'm planning on doing another shovdathon (4!) in June, after I finish the spring quarter and before I head to SGDQ. If you want to see information or give thoughts on games for incentives, etc. please come by my stream and type !shovdathon4 in chat.

Can confirm. Especially if they're over the age of, I don't know, 40.
If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.

A lot of things going on in my life right now. I've returned to therapy, I've put together what will hopefully be my first book, and... I'm returning to makeup after like five years away.
I currently look like I let a toddler get to me with a marker, but we'll get there little by little.

I finally hit my goal in JokerShellOk tonight. I cut 1m 20s off the run in one swoop, dying just 9 times in the whole hack and ending with a 14:29. I think I'm done grinding it for now. Thank you @nowieso.bsky.social for the incredible game.

If you ever feel like saying hi to me but are scared for some reason, please say hi. It makes my day, and I'm just another dumb bitch anyways.

More than a half dozen trans women at agdq or soon after said something along the lines of how I was the first positive example of a trans woman they ever saw.
I'm not crying, you're crying.

Also also, there were so many pretty trans women there, and I'm not ever going to go for the purpose of attracting anyone, but I mean I would like to lose some weight and stuff and maybe do that.

Also, it should be noted that a 22-year-old shovda having just watched Siglemic do 70 star at AGDQ would be just baffled to know she'd go on to perform cannonless at an AGDQ at 35.
Just, fuck.

I'm at the airport. I want to thank everyone sincerely for one of the best weeks of my life. I am so grateful to have met friends new and old. I am honored to have finally been able to perform a solo run at a mainline GDQ. And having (technically) five runs total is beyond my wildest dreams.

I'll be leaving AGDQ tonight, 5:45pm. Please come and say bye and stuff if you see me around and so desire. A buffer day before teaching seems smart.

I'm seeing a couple posts about this, so I thought I'd say something. Yes, GDQ staff asked if I could find a way not to show Free Luigi on my SD card menu between hacks. I offered to delete it if I could get to a laptop quick, but they said they felt it was enough to put the blocker up.
