Traveling pro tip: travel sized deodorant and toothpaste is usually unnecessary when flying in the USA. The regular sizes for these are typically below the limit of 3.5 ounces. No need to buy a whole separate travel size!

For #VeteransDay today, how about a little good news? Since the VA started tracking homelessness among veterans in 2010, their actions have led to a 55.6% reduction in homeless vets (as of 2024).
To my fellow vets, make sure you're getting any and all benefits you're entitled to!

If I could distill the main theme song from the Great British Baking Show into a draught, I would carry it on me at all times.

I sat down with Angeles (blind gamer and beauty streamer) and her husband Hominid Digital (gaming YouTuber), to chat about the #AudioDescription industry, our pet peeves, and gaming accessibility! Warning: it gets a lil bit spicy near the end!

My internet white whale is the UK Audio Description version of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves".
There is, apparently, a version where the AD is narrated by the fabulous Sue Perkins, and I cannot find it anywhere. It's not on any US-based streaming services. It's not on the UK DVD. 😖

This is apparently relevant for next week… But what could it mean? Incidentally… What class would you want to see me play out of these?

Been a bit since I've streamed (sorry!!) but I'm back on tonight at 8pm pacific, 11pm eastern! I'll be playing more Talos Principle II, a philosophical puzzle game, to unwind and have fun.
Come along to hear about my Halloween costume, and see the cool Fallout merch I got!

Am I doomed to purchasing a new Xbox controller annually, or is there a durable brand out there?
Currently I have an Xbox pro elite, whose grips have torn off after 10 months of heavy daily use. Currently held together with rubber bands and duct tape.

Home from a lovely Twitch Con, and as always the highlight was the drag queen makeup showcase! We were lucky enough to go home with an incredible haul of @trixiemattel.bsky.social makeup, and loved getting to see how to utilize it to it's fullest!
From a selfie angle, I'm sitting at a long table with Emma beside me and multiple other people in the background. I'm reaching into a pink gift bag which has a logo of the letter T inside a heart, and am pulling out a flat rectangular pallet with brown edges. The pallet has a logo of a rearing cartoon horse, with the words "horse girl" in cursive text resembling rope. In a bright hallway, Emma and I pose side by side smiling. Emma has very short brown hair, and is wearing light blush, and a nude orange eyeshadow with bright silver sparkles on the center of her eyelids, and the inner corners. She has a thin line of black eyeliner along her upper eyelids. I'm wearing a slightly heavier blush, and eyeshadow in an orange to pink gradient which spills out over the corners. My false lashes are thick and long. I'm also wearing a matte lip in a dark reddish brown, with dark liner. An outdoor selfie of me with a street and sunset in the background. Palm trees are silhouetted against the sky. The eyeshadow is strongly orange and pink with a slight orange shimmer along my lids and cheeks. On a dark brown couch, an array of makeup items are arrayed before the pink gift back. It includes the "horse girl" eyeshadow pallet, a heart shaped sponge inside a pink clear container, large false lashes in a box, an eyeshadow brush, lip liner, thin black liquid eyeliner, a tube of liquid bright sparkly shadow, a hot pink lip gloss in a heart shaped tube, cream blush, lipstick, and a mini pallet of sparky "cold shoulder" highlighter.

I will be attending #TwitchCon this Saturday!! I can't miss the Drag Queen makeup tutorials, the speedruns, and of course the Accessibility community meetup!
HMU if you'll be there, and we can say hello in person!

They make my breath so stinky but I can't stop.
A small plastic clamshell package is labeled "salted garlic chips", 3.5 ounces. Inside are small beige dried garlic cloves.
