When I see people on here unknowingly join moral panics around child safety and technology, I think about how the future of this very platform hangs in the balance of this legislation that is designed to force us back onto big tech platforms. It’s not about the kids. It’s about all of us

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

The way I get so so so excited to get a letter from my Granddaughters! This came on the perfect day. I got my biopsy results yesterday. Not great, but not the worst, so ... I needed a little cheering. 💗 #GRANDMAhoodie #focusonGRANDMA #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #LoveMyGrandkids

Biopsy day is coming to a close, and it's been tiring. I should be up for streaming after work tomorrow, though! See you soon! #streamready #fuckcancer

Happy 12th birthday, Peanut! Love this old man face, so much. Here he is now (in 2025) and then (in 2013). My sweet old boy.

Damn, those results were FAST! So, since Lefty is acting up again, I may take some time away from streaming to process. It may be nothing, but if IT'S back, they are gone. Both L AND R. I'm done with being scared my tits are going to kill me like mom's killed her. #FuckCancer #CancerSurvivor

I am once again 45 minutes early for my appointment because of my chronic fear of being late. I'm never late. Ever. But I'm here and I'm wearing my favorite bra. I like to wear my favorite bra to my mammograms, even though no one actually sees it. :) #cancersurvivor #hoorayforboobies

Hi! Just a copy of the discord and IG announcements re: opinion sharing across my social media, under the G-Hoodie moniker. :) I have to make this announcement every now and again, so here it is for June 2025.

Tiny Chiquita in her new gifted summer dress from Uncle Enrique at work. So cute!

Puppy stream is live now! IG link in bio Bluesky www.twitch.tv/GrandmaHoodie Stop by and keep the puppies company! Fishing is open!

So Proud of Our Little Neighborhood.

Let’s all be San Diego. #FuckICE

For anyone thinking of traveling to the US, don't, for your own safety. They are kidnapping tourists off the street, now. #FuckICE

Hi friends! So, the Thursday night stream will be on hold tonight because something came up IRL, but if I can, I'll try to pop in afterwards. If all goes to plan, the Friday puppy cam/AFK streams will be starting back up tomorrow, though! Link in bio (IG) www.twitch.tv/GrandmaHoodie #gHoodie

Only took 2 years but I finally dropped off the trunk load of crap before coming in to replace it all with more crap (that fits). Baby steps.

Tiny food cracks me up. It's so wittle! On another note, I had forgotten how good it feels to come into work the next day after an amazing stream full of friends! I am flying! Even though I only got 2 hours of sleep, sooooo worth it!

Going Live on Twitch in about 10 minutes for the first time in 6 weeks! Come say hello! Link in Bio (IG) and www.twitch.tv/grandmahoodie elsewhere! #grandmahoodie #twitchstreamer

Y'all, if there is ONE thing I am an expert in, it's the show Arrested Development. I have it memorized. AD is the ONE thing I could give a TED talk on with ZERO preparation or notes. So when this showed up in my 1st viewing of the movie The Electric State on Netflix, I just about flipped out!

More to come, but this was the before the Faire look I left the house with. The after is a lot messier and muddier thanks to the rain, but I had such a great time!

Last night's Girl Dinner. The syrup is equal parts real maple syrup and melted butter. So lazy. So good.

He just loves me so much lol

I am excited to announce that I have been accepted into the Twitch PRIDE Guild! A little while back I was accepted into the Twitch WOMEN'S Guild, and was equally elated! Streaming has been such a great experience. I love all the love!

Making my garland/headdress for the Ren faire this weekend!!! Getting so excited. It's going to look amazing over Elizabeth the First.

Officially hot the 50 pound mark today and feeling pretty good about how my uniform fits, these days! I'll have to dig up a before pic.

I really like how the color fades and changes with every washing/application.

Happy 32nd Birthday to my little girl, Amara! 🥰 I miss you every day, and am so proud of the person you've become. I love you so much! My beautiful brilliant girl. 32 years old with three girls of her own. Where did the time go?

Matt's Worst Nightmare: Stuck in purgatory with Grandma #REPO #GrandmaHoodie #TwitchStreamer

Got to catch up with bestie (and pups) today at me work (not working, just at my work). Long overdue, but already ready for the next one!

Current situation. Not shown, multiple paintbrushes.

So, as I announced in the discord, I'm taking a wee bit of a break from streaming to focus on some IRL things like work, family, rest, mental and physical health, and relationships! My streaming schedule is on hold for the time being, but I will be streaming sporadically when I am able!

Today's ADHD hyper fixation focus is: Jewelry! Does it need reorganizing? Probably not, but at least I'm not doing my dishes for the 5th month in a row. #Win(?)

Going home early from work because I spent all night throwing up water & falling down from taking two extremely harsh medicines at once. Not being able to lift an EMPTY laundry basket should have been a clue to call off. In 5 trips to the bathroom in 3 hrs, even liquid IV wouldn't stay down.

This sweet little girl is absolutely in love with her Throne gift from her Godmother Luxadin! I didn't even have to show her how to use it, she just crawled right in and fell asleep. She's now snoring like a little princess! Peanut is a total blanket guy, so this little space is all her own!

Perfect day for getting up late.

Not to brag, but since losing between 40-50 pounds, my big long flowy clothes fit even better. I feel so swoopy and girlie in my big ol' dresses, now. Walking around barefoot outside in the wind just feeling it.

A flood has caused so much loss for someone in our community. They've lost essential items like groceries and dog food. Let's come together to help them recover. Please share and donate if you can. Thank you!

Going live in about an hour with some low key drawing in Procreate. Still feeling a bit off so I'll go as long as I can, just lacking the energy at the moment. Come hang out and chill! https://buff.ly/3PGkYDo

Omg!!! Peewee's playhouse is on Peacock OMG!!! This was my favorite show in High School!!! Great timing with the rain hitting SD this week!

This one is for my friend Matt who says I have a big mouth

So I think I may just continue drawing my pngtuber/profile pics, while listening to my friends on stream tonight, instead of actually streaming. ;) I'm in a creating mood more than a chatting mood so Imma ride that out. And I'm getting pretty good the more I practice.

Grammy is on the front page, friends!!! Go say congrats!!! Great streamer and great guy. Well deserved! https://buff.ly/4aYYF5J

Installed some cute extensions to see if I could distract from the black eye I got from a drunk idiot the other day. Nope. But they look really cute! Probably not going to have a facecam for stream for a minute. It looks worse than it feels, but I don't want to have to explain it 20 times per stream

Not sure if I'll be streaming tonight (or pushing it to tomorrow) since I went up to the max dosage of my Wegovy today, but I know I will definitely be drawing more G-Hoodie avatars! Nice on a dreary day with rain expected.

I don't think I'll ever get used to looking over and seeing Chiquita staring at me. It surprises me every time.

Hey Everyone! Don't click the invite to the Subnautica 2 playtest if you get it from me on steam! It's a phishing scam and I fell for it and was hacked. I'm so sorry to anyone else who fell victim to it. I was so excited to get the invite that I opened it without thinking.

Another Friday Night AFK stream with the pups starts now! Come and lurk while I work. The dogs miss you! https://buff.ly/4hqka1O
