Support real life queer athletes the way you support fictional ones on Heated Rivalry! Three queer Seattle Torrent players—Alex Carpenter, Hilary Knight, and Cayla Barnes—will represent Team USA’s women’s hockey at the 2026 Milano Winter Olympics.

In case you were wondering, Joy would not be eligible for GDB because they can see through their stunna shades. But if you want to try gaming blindfolded, give it a go!

No preview sucks so here is the post with alt text.

Hey #BlackEduSky, #BlackSky, #BlackSkyGamers, y'all know any books by Black authors for upper- elementary school kids? Wanting my son to have more exposure to Black works.

"Haha, weatherman wrong, they're so bad at their job, I could do better" I think y'all don't realize how complex weather systems, the atmosphere, etc. are to calculate if that's your takeaway. The sheer number of tiny fail states for a forecast (a prediction OF THE FUTURE) mean it's tough work.

Here is that link to submit! gdq.gg/btb26-prizes Prize submissions close in SIX DAYS! Show us what you got!

On this MLK Day please download Miiriya, it’s an app where you can shop Black Owned Businesses conveniently on one app, it’s like Amazon but all the businesses are Black Owned. It doubles as a Mutual Aid app where you can browse Black people who are struggling with overdue bills/evictions etc & help

The Cuphead Diaries: High School Mystery

This is CRITICAL. I know you’re all putting your back into mutual aid & a thousand other great things, but if there’s anything left here, so many folks depend on these front-line lawyers right now.

amped as ever for #BacktoBlack :)

when you become too important at your job #AGDQ2026

my take on my boy Squirtle is on the left. Not bad for MS paint/mouse Squirtle is 87.5% male and 12.5% female. Just like me frfr #AGDQ2026

I am just glad this did not happen at 11:50pm at a hotel in Minnesota because said hotel is across from a TV station (iykyk) y'all stay safe out there

Reposting this thread while AGDQ's finale is being casually interrupted by a fire alarm at 12:40 AM at a hotel in Pittsburgh.

I drew the blue Ditto in row 2 and the Unown at the end :3 #AGDQ2026

We're just starting our last run of the week: Pokemon Emerald by @adef.bsky.social ...except with one weird twist that will make his life hilariously hard. Hold on, we'll let him explain it. Watch at gdq.gg/live and youtube.com/c/gamesdonequick #AGDQ2026

This is the best hobby in the world and I will not hear otherwise. #AGDQ2026

Usually it's in a grid but I came up with the idea of putting it around @ozmourn.bsky.social instead. Thankfully he was down to clown. :3 #AGDQ2026

also - and we'll talk about this more tomorrow on the @gamesdonequick.com channel - the Hotfix programming is a great way to sharpen your skills if you're interested in submitting to a mainline event! No donations, just good vibes #AGDQ2026

Hey gamers, which Hollow Knight character is most likely to get the zoomies? Asking for a friend #AGDQ2026

So much love for all of these people. Thank you @gamesdonequick.com for having me back on the Meme Team after a year away, it was a wonderful week of wackiness <3 #AGDQ2026

This is for those of you who watch AGDQ and SGDQ every year and wonder how you can get started with involving yourself in fundraising through gaming and speedrunning, whether or not you're a runner yourself. I hope to bring awareness to the scene and show that GDQ isn't where everything ends!

I'll be hosting a Grassroots Marathon Team special tomorrow at 1 PM EST over on @gamesdonequick.com with members of @uksgmarathon.bsky.social and @fastpacedevents.bsky.social to introduce y'all to Grassroots events, how to find them, and how to get involved!
