🎂 Level 26 🎂

Life is truly mysterious, challenging, and beautiful at the same time. Through all the ups and downs, I’ll never stop smiling. ✨

I’m so grateful that I pressed “Start Streaming” on #Twitch exactly 10 Years ago today. Thank you all, and here’s to what’s next! 🥂

Due to growing fear among top creators about the risks of attending Twitchcon (and subsequent cancellations), Twitch has shared an update on safety measures at the convention.

[ #ad ] Hi everyone! This October, I've been invited to join the #ChangeAmbassador Program and raise awareness on a petition that I believe really matters! 💖

I chose this petition below as I truly believe in the importance of authentically uplifting women in gaming. 🔽

🔗Sign Here: bit.ly/4pZa8t5

An asset for a change.org petition, with the white text displaying the title 'Stop Exploiting Women in Esports -- Pay Creators What They Are Owed'. Below the title is white text reading 'change.org' on the right-hand side, and the left-hand side shows a black button with white text reading 'Sign Petition'.

The graphic in the top-half of the image is pulled from the petition itself, featuring David Beckham and others from the now liquidated esports company, Guild Esports, backed and promoted by Sky Broadband. This liquidation has left many women -- including trans women, POC, and disabled women in gaming -- unpaid for the work and tournaments they were recruited to front. Please click this link to learn more, read into it, and sign the petition: https://bit.ly/4pZa8t5

Words can’t describe how thankful I am after literal months of freezing issues. I can finally stream uninterrupted on #Twitch and enjoy PC gaming again! 😭💜

Just landed back in Las Vegas, and I actually saw #CODNext venue signage! I had no idea so many creator friends and mutuals were in town for Call of Duty… 👀

Throwback to when I visited the gamescom booth this year! I can imagine what the atmosphere is like IRL at COD Next. ✨ @callofduty.com

Holy crap… this definitely makes me nervous for franchises like The Sims.
