"Come dance?" Duv's Valentione outfit this year. :) There's still room to improve on the gpose, but I think I'm getting better at these? Vertical is tricky; the preview is always a tiny narrow column for me. #Duv #miqo #gpose #ffxiv

One week from today! Join me in my #LoveAndDeepspace journey for two amazing causes! Event Info: love-and-justice.carrd.co Donate to ACLU: tilt.fyi/ysYqjZ5CzL Donate to Lambda Legal: tilt.fyi/b2uknd9hp9 About the Melodies of Light & Why We Do This: melodiesoflight.carrd.co

Oh hey, Fish Fest is tomorrow! My inventory is usually too tragic for fishing. 😅 (Nevermind my MSQ prog. >.>) There are a ton of activities though, and many knowledgeable people out doing trains. I highly recommend it if you'd like guidance or just a lot of company!

Load bluesky with intent to post, but let's see what's up first! [Conflagration of memes, FFXIV character art, lovely fiction, half panicked life updates, and a great deal of appalling news.] Manage to react/reply to a few posts and chases info/follow up for 1-2 hours. Forgets intent to post.

Left my #ffxiv #gpose & screenshots folder unsorted WAY too long, so I'll post a few here and there as I tackle that. POV: It's All Saints Wake and you've interrupted them. Jason and #Duv #miqo

Five of your college courses: - Mesoamerican Civilizations - Digital Illustration & Computer Animation - Gender, Society, & Social Change in the British Empire - Ancient & Medieval Art History - Forensic Anthropology Bonus: PE: - Fencing - Middle Eastern Dance I WISH I retained the ASL skills.

We've been live for about 4 hours now (out of 13) and have raised almost 1/5 of our goal! Jumping over to Materia for some compulsory #FFXIV Mahjong since DDOS keeps crashing my games. See y'all on Sophia! twitch.tv/melodicblue

I've waited 3 years to make this post

*Fourth disconnect in two hours from FFXIV's NA servers* ... that's it, time to go play on EU for a while. I'll just deal with the ping.

Bwaha, oh no. @melodicblue.bsky.social

This Short vid reacting to and musings on Game 3 of the World Series is beautiful. I don't watch sports very often anymore, and haven't been tuning in to the World Series, but I recommend giving this the few minutes. youtube.com/shorts/2yZwV...

Y'all! I donated to @fauxycreations.bsky.social 's charity fundraiser during the All Tanks Wake stream and won the doodle raffle, and last night my WoL was adorably immortalized in doodle form! Please perceive her in her Fisher Pan-Glam singing songs about catching Big Fish!

💖 I know so many people going to GATEway FATE and have been pretty down about not getting to go, so I'm really looking forward to getting to participate online via the stream! So many cons and events don't bother with streaming anymore. Thank you for being inclusive with this.

I had the same problem. XD

I love the idea of Fruity as the FishTank for #TeamSnackables, but I can't help but imagine if he were a monk and had character-selection smack-talk (or Surface Slap-talk, if you will) snippets: "I hope you're ready for my new fishing guide on how to catch...These Hands!" *Feisty punching animation*

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

#Duv and Miu made it to the last bit of the #PixiePrideParty ! I mostly kept Duv's wings off so that Tome could run around, but apparently the silly book is buried in the flowers off screen. #Miqo #Lala #gpose Sparkling Queer

Y'all, #DollsTakeAStand is just delightful. Check out posts on that hashtag. No Kings, No Tyrants!

I accidentally worked through FFXIV EMN's Pride parties last night, and then crashed and slept through the World Lalafell Parade this morning. 😢 (I main Mooncat & Lala.) Also, parts of the world are on fire and my country continues to be a worsening nightmare, but that's bigger than 300 chars.

Hey #FFXIVArtists -- if you've got comms open and you have options that allow folks to print their comm'd art as stickers for the #DragonConWoLTrade, please reply here or to the main thread in the quoted post!

You remind me of something posted by a BLM protester in Portland. The cops escalated in response to every step protesters took to keep themselves safe, yet the cops kept accusing the protesters of escalating things.

This caught me sideways today. 💖

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Hi folks! I like to post this every convention I attend. These are extremely fun but also challenging for me. If you meet me and I seem aloof or disinterested, please don't take it personally. I'm always battling big social anxiety and legit do love when you folks say hi to me 🙏

To my friends and fae heading to PAX East this weekend: please mask up in dense public spaces We are still in the weeds and repeat COVID infections are still deeply dangerous. For those around you, the folks around them, and you, of course—consider taking the step of masking up. #PAXEast

If you say you steer clear of political stuff entirely, and I reply that I don't have the luxury of doing so when ppl are weaponizing the govt against my family? The answer is NOT to double down on how you don't know the person doing it & their words can be taken out context so you can't hate them.

I'm still here, I'm just not great at keeping up with socials. T_T This year has been... extra exhausting, to put it mildly.

Okay so I paused my crafting to check out one of my favorite Shadowbringers cutscenes (the first one from "A Breath of Respite") and the before and after on the foliage update is uh...it's something.🤣 Left is 6.0 (with a gameplay shader), Right is now (vanilla):

I couldn't help myself, this is all i can see when thinking of baby lizards with their pool noodle horns 🤣😭

Beyshon and Miu are BEST BATTLE BUDDIES! #gpose taken in #FFXIV! #lala

When an artist adds slots b/c you asked, but other people grab the slots first. 😑

OMG, Mi'kitten adorbs! There are a couple more posted ones too, go see. ^_^

Bwahahaha. Suddenly I understand a whole new level of meme naming characters.

The US Trans Survey got 92k responses. 94% ARE MORE SATISFIED W/ LIFE LIVING AT LEAST SOME OF THE TIME IN A DIFFERENT GENDER THAN ASSIGNED AT BIRTH. On hormone therapy? 98%! Had gender-affirming surgery? 97%! Even w/ discrimination. SUPPORT & ACCESS TO CARE ARE VITAL FOR TRANS & NONBINARY PEOPLE

I need to get a few good reference shots of my chars (especially Duv) together so I have them on hand when someone awesomely raffles a sketch. Instead of what I do now which is: - Excitement! - Like/share! - Forget to come back & reply w/ refs til a day/week after close, b/c I can't right then. 🙃

Hey cis women friends, if you have a few minutes, look at signing this? (And call your rep!)

Refusing, though. Making it harder or illegal to access gender affirming care, regardless of birth assignment. Refusing to respect people's identity and pronouns. Spreading lies to use women and children as an excuse for hate and dehumanization. Seeking to legislate & fearmonger us away? 2/

I wanted to chirp about Trans Awareness Week, but this enby's been exhausted. *gestures to handle* In case it has escaped your notice, I'm trans. (Nonbinary is a subset.) As are some people I care very much about. And a great many more I don't know. It doesn't hurt anyone to let people be whole. 1/
