I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

I always feel paranoid about the ground shaking after the 5.7 magnitude earthquake we had in 2020 - so I google it when I think I feel something, only to be validated that yes, Utah has many earthquakes and my suspicions are correct (but tiny ones, like 2.5) And honestly, I hate this so much.

Got 7 hours of sleep 😤 Wakes up to 1 year old having a stomach bug 😭

Fun story - I used to sneak onto my brothers Xbox to play Halo when he wasn't home (left, right, left, right - you needed a better password, bro) and Halo was THE game that sealed my fate as a gamer and I was all in after that. I cannot describe how thrilled I am for this partnership ❤️

Screaming bc I finally get to talk about this... GDQ is coming to Halo Fest this December! I literally could not be more excited. Being able to help put together an event centered around the series that I grew up with (and introduced me to speedrunning) is a dream come true.

Me to the 1 year old: are you happy? 1 year old: Noooo Me: are you sad? 1 year old: Yeahhhh Me: What are you sad about? 1 year old: yellow Me: You're sad about the color yellow? 1 year old: Yeah :(

My 3 year old is doing a LEGO set designed for 9 and up (with help but he's really understanding the symmetrical approach to building this, his shapes, and counting) 🥹

Another great opportunity!

The oldest's first Boba (ice cream) 🥹

Today was a day of parenting that just....REALLY humbled me 🫠

Will you be my Valentine, chat? 🥺💝 We've made a few Valentine's cards that you can share today! 🩷

My almost 2 year old started counting to 10 in Spanish today and while I am so unbelievably proud of him also SLOW THE FUCK DOWN AND STOP GROWING UP SO FAST.

So a Utah judge told the GOP to get fucked last year bc they wanted to gerrymander SLC maps. Prop 4, what Utahs voted for, was to create actual fair maps and give the very blue population of downtown actual representation. Now they're trying to get signatures to repeal it.

Back to Black is back! @gamesdonequick.com’s annual fundraiser for Race Forward has returned for Black History Month. Last year, GDQ's @blackinaflash.bsky.social community of players raised $44K. They're back again, February 5-8, to speedrun through your favorite classic and latest video games.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

streaming today and getting this off my spirit now: BHM starts tomorrow. I hope the energy and drive that we've seen this weekend translates into continuing that work all month because police brutality and state sanctioned violence overwhelmingly impacts PoC.

Both of these positions will work closely with me. I encourage you to take a look & see what fits for you. Let me also mention - if you feel like you don't check 100% of the boxes APPLY ANYWAY. A lot of people don't feel they are a good fit when they may be just because they don't hit every box. ❤️

Booked a girls trip to Portland AND we get to see La Dispute in May?? PLS THIS DAY IS TOO GOOD 😭

I found a new perfume I'm obsessed with. So after the trial size I ordered ran out, I bought the normal size. They gifted me a deck of cards with beautiful art on it and more information about the fragrance (and artist chloegray.studio) 😭 I love this so much

This is still unacceptable. There is no reform possible for a culture of lawlessness. You have to rip it up at the root and create a whole new culture.

In an effort to stop giving Spotify money, I moved over to YT Music since I already had premium - and I discovered Crimson Collapse this week. They're exactly what my little emo heart needs to listen to right now 😭 music.youtube.com/watch?v=UmeI...

There are two Americas. Pick your side wisely. One ideology always loses.

Black people staring into the camera

Democratic members of Congress are not bound by oaths to protect sources/congregants/patients like journalists, priests, and doctors are. If your GOP colleagues are saying privately that they decry what ICE or Trump is doing, time to name names.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

The not so glorious side of parenting... My youngest is sick with a cough and fever and I've been trying to eat dinner for 2 hours because he has constantly needed me for the past 4.

Just took my passport renewal picture and I've never seen the physical change from parenting as obvious as it is from my old picture (10 years ago) and this one. I am so visibly tired 😂

Idk who needs to know this but the new taco salad at Taco Bell is basically a reinvented tostada and it is perfect. If you're like me and have been missing the tostada, this is a very very good replacement.

My son singing the colors of the rainbow: "Blue...indigo....violent" 😬

New parenting accomplishment... My oldest requests Blow by Kesha every time we're in the car and he sings along to it

What?! This is so good

My favorite track from Silksong is Bone Bottom and it's not even close.
