Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms? If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on: 1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player. 2. Click "Report Playback Issue". 3. Select this option. Hopefully this will work!

being able to see this recording has brought me so much joy and i hope y'all get even a fraction of the entertainment watching it that we had planning it 💛

Starting TONIGHT, we are introducing Quest for Quet, a mutual aid speedrunning marathon benefitting @traineranade.bsky.social so that they can afford to train and raise their new service animal, Quetzalcoatl! Come join at Anade’s channel and help support and donate if you can! Schedule in replies!

If you’re on the fence, wondering what you can do: You don’t have to speedrun to be part of this space. You don’t have to speedrun to volunteer for Flame Fatales, GDQ, or any of the many charity-focused events! I’m just someone who likes to try doing everything, and I invite you to try as well 💚

#SGDQ2025 was by far my busiest event but i loved every second. from helping with the Fatales events as one of the community liaisons to my usual spot behind the stream tech desk, i got to see so many old friends and meet so many more. let's do it again in 6 months 💛

finale day at #SGDQ2025! this week has been a blur but I'm not quite done yet. final stream tech shift and then watching the finale runs to finish it off 💛

friday? in my #SGDQ2025? another stream tech shift today but otherwise my obligations are sparse and I'm looking forward to relaxing a bit before some evening runs I'm really excited about!

how is it already Day 5 of #SGDQ2025? excited to start my final volunteer position of the event with my first stream tech shift. honored to be over the checkpoint again and help make sure some of the more complicated setups look crisp on stream 💛 also, unrelated to anything, it is suit day!

give it up for Day 4 of #SGDQ2025! if you haven't come to a Frame Fatales Meetup, come to the one tonight at 6 PM! else, I'll be wandering around all day today.

Day 3 of #SGDQ2025 and we're starting with tabling and then running tech for Frame Changer (an improv comedy show inspired by Game Changer) at 8 PM tonight! you won't want to miss it! also, Trans Rights Tuesday!!

Day 2 of #SGDQ2025! today is the first of the Fatales Meetups at 8 PM so I'll be doing a little bit of a fit change for that, but if you're available tonight, we'd love to see you! 💛

it begins! Day 1 of #SGDQ2025, so it's fit check time! this event I have been helping with set-up, working as one of the Fatales Liaisons, and I'll be on stream tech later this week! oh, and I will be trying to watch some games done quick, or something 💛

I created a thing! I was inspired by @gamechangershow.bsky.social to create these loop-de-loop stickers which celebrate trans identities and the fact that We've Been Here The Whole Time!

all of MYOV is going to be stacked but I'm especially excited to show off a brand new game in Kabuto Park on Saturday!

On June 6th, I will start attempting to complete a speedrun of *anything*, and you will try to stop me, by donating to Trans Lifeline, or maybe by speedrunning new games yourself. Welcome to The Infinite Speedjest. More info in a thread tonight. Never forget where we came from.

🏳️‍⚧️ For US-based trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people: Point of Pride’s HRT Access Fund is now open for application until June 30, 2025. The recipients of this fund will be provided with 12 months of HRT-related care via the organization. More info: www.pointofpride.org/hrt-access-f...

Non-binary includes people who are masc-presenting, folks. So don't be so fucking shocked when someone who could pass as a cis man turns up to your "women and non-binary" events. Non-binary doesn't equal woman-lite.

There's not much else I can say for today. Just remember: we need you.

I am once again plugging 5 Calls as the best and most approachable way to take political action - especially today with the egregiously transphobic medicare bill on its way to the senate. They give you phone numbers, guides, and scripts. I beg you to call and help make a difference. 5calls.org
