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 💛

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 💚

A volunteer badge from SGDQ 2025. It has the username "theValiantSun" and pronouns "they/any". Attached to it are 6 ribbons: a ribbon that says "je suis un ribbon", Frame Fatales, Lady Arcader's, Loremaster Award, Binary Breakers, and a "children of the Firehawk" ribbon. The event lanyard is also displayed with a badge for stream tech and setup on it.

#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 💛

a mirror selfie with an AGDQ2024 volunteer shirt in blue, a GDQ mascots lanyard, yellow mask on wrist and a yellow hat that says "check it out, I'm gay".

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!

A mirror selfie with a gray blazer and a red jumpsuit. Also, poofy hair!

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!

A mirror selfie. They are wearing a Flame Fatales 2022 tee-shirt and a homemade Frame Fatales ballcap. They have friendship bracelets on one wrist and a KN95 mask on the other.

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! 💛

A mirror selfie with the AGDQ2023 runner shirt and a hat that says "here to cause problems".

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 💛

the game changer loop-de-loop design as a sticker in trans colours with the words "we've been here" above it and "The whole time" below it.

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!

A screenshot of a Google Calendar with "Rose and Camellia" on it.

it shall be done

what run am I adding to my gcal?

Financial aid for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by Point of Pride Point of Pride's HRT Access Fund provides 12 months of free medical care for trans folks seeking gender-affirming hormone therapy (HRT).

🏳️‍⚧️ For US-based trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people:

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.
