i’ll sorely miss working with such a driven team who continuously inspired me to learn & grow.
any connections in tech support/customer success/quality assurance would be greatly appreciated ♥️
tomorrow, i present my video essay about mental wellness tips for content creators to my mentorship’s advisory board.
this has been a huge passion project for me since the summer, so while i’m excited to showcase my hard work, i’m also insanely nervous.
send good vibes pls 🥹
i'm a part of a few online spaces centralized around marginalized creators. it's been a breath of fresh air to be a part of communities where i feel safe & validated. they feel like home.

I won't mince words.
The overwhelming majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. And Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.
In fact, they're also suffering as a result of Hamas' terrorism. We need to be clear-eyed about that reality.
recently, i had the honor of interviewing Twitch Women's Guild leader
@CocoConfession
for my creator mental wellness research.
we chatted about variety content burnout & she shared some great insight.
she's so talented & currently pushing for Partner Plus! go follow her!
this issue becoming a trending topic today demonstrates how much power the gaming community can exude in the face of adversity.
keep on speaking up for your friends in marginalized spaces. speak loudly, even if your voice shakes.
PINECONE is saddened by the lack of response to fans requesting inclusivity of pronouns in Stardew Valley.
Our hearts go out to those who have been affected for speaking up on the need to uplift marginalized gamers.
@ConcernedApe

i’ve been doing a lot of inner work while i find my next job. that includes decreasing my digital footprint to find healthier ways to spend my time.
i deactivated insta to see how it feels to not have it for a month. already happy about my decision & it hasn’t even been an hour.
it’s World Mental Health Day!
i’ve been researching creator burnout since the summer. if there’s one key takeaway i can share that everyone can resonate with, it’s this:
you don’t need to share every new game (or experience) you try online. it’s okay to enjoy things offline 🩵
the cutest LEGO build of all time! what a fun project to share with y'all on stream ☺️

This year for Women's History Month, I'm hosting my FIRST EVER panel with members of the
@1000DreamsFund
Dream Team and
@Twitch
Women's Guild!
📅 Saturday, March 2nd, 2024 at 5:00PM EST
⬇️ More details below!
We're celebrating the Legendary women of Twitch with streamer features all year long on the Twitch homepage! From developing their own video games, to mentoring fellow streamers, to sharing their love of cross stitch, women streamers bring us together every day.…
recently, i had the pleasure of chatting with
@loch_vaness
about streaming & content creation for my mentorship project, which led to us sharing our thoughts on imposter syndrome.
it was so inspiring to hear more about Ness' story, so i thought i'd share a tidbit with you all!
as a 90's baby, i live for nostalgia. i seek out the best deals for items that speak to my inner child, major focal point of mine as a collector & as a gamer.
i got these on Mercari, instruction booklets & all. best find i've had there!
I FINALLY HAVE SUPER PRINCESS PEACH 😭🩷
happy thanksgiving, friends! 🍁
i appreciate my community as a whole, but i’m feeling especially grateful for my twitter community today.
y’all have been so supportive of my work this year & i can’t thank you enough!
make sure you do something that makes you happy today 🩵
despite my fear of scary games, i finally got around to playing Lethal Company for the first time tonight with some of my community members!
i think it's safe to say i get the hype & i can't wait to be lethal so many more times in 2024 ☺️
i don't share much of my personal life because i feel safer that way, but between diagnoses i'm now medicated for & all the work i'm involved in, i often spread myself thin.
but man... my community's so kind to me. y'all stick with me through it all. i can't thank you enough 🩵
38% completed, pretty proud of myself for getting that far with minimal hints & plenty of distractions from chat 🤭
we’re gonna push to finish the rest on Wednesday night’s stream!
thank you to

’ cozy puzzler “A Little to the Left” from the couch to the big screen with a first playthrough of the DLC!
the other day, i found a super old laptop of mine with some photos from a shoot i did with one of my good friends back in 2017. little did this version of me know what the start of my 30's would look like.
starting in 2016, i was making content but within the music industry…
i know i said on stream in 2021 that Zelda games weren’t meant for me, but TOTK is so pretty & getting so much praise already that i’m giving it a shot. to be fair, i kept falling down the same tower in BOTW. major learning curve LOL 😭
will report back with my thoughts soon 🫡
just finished my 1st day of training (at my first “real” job in almost 2 years) just about an hour ago. i’ve finally found my place in the [professional] world. i’ve never felt so sleepy but so in my element at the same time 😂
2022, you’ve been so kind to me already 🥺
@SpiritCityLofi
this is my son, Max.
we rescued/adopted him last summer, so he’s celebrated his first Christmas + will celebrate his 1st birthday with us in March. best decision my partner & i could’ve made to expand our little family!
he’s the silliest little guy, but he’s also very ✨eepy✨
i feel most in my element when i meet new games industry folks & share my vision of being a voice of advocacy for the importance of mental wellness as a content creator.
tonight, i was encouraged to “keep going” by a new connection i made, who said that i’m raising awareness for…
