I learned today that the protagonist of Quest 64 has a name. Based on the game's graphics and reputation, as well as everything else I know about it, I just assumed he didn't.

A Hungarian poet translated a poem of mine into Hungarian and published it in the magazine Prae. I now await a physical copy of the magazine to see it in the flesh.

Making the rare going live post here because I'm going to play Tiny Bookshop. As a real-life poet in an MFA program, this should be a good time. hi @tinybookshopgame.com twitch.tv/shovda

A friend of mine made these for my birthday yesterday. I'm in awe.

It birthday.

Except for confirming order with my advisor, my MFA thesis manuscript is done, and I'll start sending it out to contests and publishers in the coming year.

I firmly believe in femme-archy, which is to say that if you're more femme than me then you can domme me, but if you're more masc than me then get in the cage.

When the student evals hit and they're good. 😭🤠😅

Give future trans kids the potential to be happier than I was. That's all I ask.

Hi instead of streaming tonight I'm ordering my poetry manuscript and trying to see what gaps I might need to write into.

I don't know much about California politics other than fuck Gavin Newsom for obvious reasons, but Mark Takano might be kinda okay? I say that taking him at his word here and not doing further research yet.

Please fill this out. It takes thirty seconds.

Retook the JokerShellOK record with an 18:52. God damn was that a brutal grind.

One day someone will explain why there's a robot at the Chanukah festival

Nap -> write last third of my paper -> sleep -> edit paper -> turn in paper -> visit with my mom and stepdad -> stream

Look at this little guy warm up to getting his picture taken.

After receiving the email this morning confirming that Thumbshredder will be in as an incentive for after my JokerShellOK run, I will officially be part of up to 4 runs at AGDQ 2026. 11-exit one handed, JokerShellOK, Thumbshredder, and the cannonless star for the Super Mario 64 relay.

I have some glp 1 injections coming soon. Wish me luck.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

I too am now on Quobuz.

Know what I want expecting to come up while reading an introduction to Ovid's Heroides? Fanfiction

One of those things that's just so intentionally and purely evil you have to, like, take a moment and stare at a wall.

Doing a GDQ hotfix at 10:35 Eastern btw, didn't get to promote it much because I was...*checks notes*...in Australia, which doesn't seem real. twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

That top games list though lol

Just landed back at LAX. Good memes, good memes.

So I'm doing smw 11-exit (one-handed), JokerShellOK, and now cannonless for the SM64 70-star relay during AGDQ 2026. 2012 shovda would be so hyped by this, and it'd only be a little because of the gender thing.

Never underestimate my commitment to a bit.

Hey I found @lush-50.bsky.social in Brisbane!

May life ever be as wondrous again as reading French philosophy in a cafe in Brisbane with rose tea.

Forgive my very tired face. I slept intermittently on the flight, but was partly dazed for some of yesterday as it got later. - with @eejay.bsky.social

Australian customs did not like the story of why I'm visiting. I got cross examined. Holy crap.

Hi from Brisbane lol

On the train to LAX. I'm very thankful for my twitch community, who sometimes does things like crowdfund round-trip tickets to Australia so I can have lunch with juz on Monday.

@juzcook.bsky.social - "Moving is so much work. Wanna help me pack, mate?" Me - "bet"

Hey! YOU can win an n64jr with HD capabilities. Or I can! Who know. ;)

My transgender Link poem is up at Some Words. Make sure to check out the other pieces too! Inspired by @summ.bsky.social's book, i could die today and live again somewords.boards.net/thread/12/sa...

Redid my French video so that it reached the 2-minute mark. Sharing again in part so that it can get enough views that it confuses my professor why there's so many views. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdBT...

I've been thinking about this for two days non-stop.

You might be seeing a poem about transgender Link in a brand new magazine pretty soon. 👀

I needed to make a one-minute video talking about anything for my French 001 class. So I recreated my shelljump tutorial for @framefatales.com in 2024, but in French! Please forgive my beginner pronunciations!

Three poems accepted just now at South Dakota Review. Pretty excited about this.

Looking at that ginger booty, thinking bout that carrot cake. - me, last night, on stream

Wednesday evening is a pretty great time slot omg

Thinking about trying to run my own marathon for the kaizo community. Putting out feelers and asking for advice atm...

New shoes

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Wait it's hilarious that I'm going from running Mario Maker 2 to vanilla SMW at gdq, assuming kaizo comes later in the week. Triple threat.

When Barb found my portrait in Dram 3, chat filled up with "SHOVEL!" I think I'm content with this.
