Nothing but love in my heart to both of us locked in in the control room while zoku tries desperately to remind us to go outside one (1) time π€£
Call your shot now, in the biannual race to the bottom between your self care, mine, and @gretaicevixen.bsky.social βs , whoβs getting the most sleep this event
It's really important to be gay, crass, and stupid on the internet, actually

Once again, please make @helix.midwestspeedfest.com and my day by sharing your skill, dedication and joy with us
I would not be anything or anyone without the love and support of my TGNC siblings, and I am so grateful that GDQ has enabled us to link arms and say "we're here" no matter what
we're back in the hole again
(the hole is helping each other survive and even thrive in current year)
I am subjecting three of speedrunning's Certified Chill Straight Men(tm) to transfem trivia for this event and i fear it's going to be unparalleled

Join us on Friday, Jan. 30th starting at 11:00am ET for a weekend full of the best speedruns we could find in support of Minnesota against ICE!
Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.
