shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 08/10/2026One of my favorite bits is popping up on writer bsky to say, "by the way, I stream videogames and have a cartoon sloth for a mascot over here." 1191

shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Holy shit old school French surrealism sometimes is just a verbal form of that cartoon wolf who can't control himself when he sees a beautiful woman. At least Petrarch, like, brought it home at the end. (Poem pictured by Andre Breton) 130
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Nah, I don't think I will. Unless @ifycomedy.com really wants to collab when my book of poetry comes out (we just take turns picking each other up), I don't see much in the way of a crossover unfortunately. 1120
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 04/10/20269 months until book come out. 9 months until book come out. 0270
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 29/09/2026HI I'm going live, and because of my subathon + maintained subscriptions, I'm really close (like a point away) from three consecutive months meeting the requirements for Partner Plus level 1. I would love if someone came in an helped out with that is all I'm saying. <3 twitch.tv/shovdatwitch.tvshovda - Live on Twitchhack moderation | Streaming super mario world. 041
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I kind of accidentally started eating vegetarian a couple months ago, so I figured I'd keep it up. Other than a bit of the wrong pizza at the Fatales studio, it's been going. So I guess I'm (mostly) vegetarian now. 4350
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 24/09/2026You can tell a lot about someone by how they treat w̶a̶i̶t̶e̶r̶s̶ trans people. 0294
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I was really hoping to get more into volunteering for GDQ and Fatales, but AGDQ overlaps with week 1 of winter quarter, and Frost Fatales overlaps with AWP, where we'll be soft-launching my first book. I'll be there if I get runs in. 🫡 0290
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Very grateful to be able to share I've made it home from @framefatales.com to find my contributor copy of the latest issue of @northamerreview.bsky.social. Yay video games and poems! 2220

shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 17/09/2026You deserve to want or need whatever you want or need regarding your gender presentation to exist in this world more comfortably. Fuck anyone who says otherwise. 110
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I went to Frame Fatales and all I got were kidney stones. 3210
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Hi, I won a poetry award, and it's a pretty big deal. I'm still in disbelief. The poem will be out in the autumn issue, in mid-October. 11988

shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Doing the dedication page for my book like the shoutouts list at the end of a kaizo hack. 1190
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I'm seeing a lot more follows from poets and writers on here, which I appreciate very much, but you should know that Bluesky is where I get kind of weird with it. 2262
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I think I'm too tired to deal with being told I'm talking too much about sex and sexuality for jokingly saying "I think I'm gay." I just apologized and blocked. 1370
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Coming up September 13th, on day 1 of Flame Fatales, at ~11:24 pm Eastern, I'll be running Ides of March 2: Dogs of War by @shaoshao-smw.bsky.social ! @gamesdonequick.com @framefatales.com 1314
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I feel like life is just a series of events spiritually similar to "showing your dad who loved The Who the Limp Bizkit cover of "Behind Blue Eyes" when you're a teenager." 0100
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Gonna do another once over on the book ordering and minor revisions before sending to editors, then work on game stuff for a couple hours, then stream if I'm not too exhausted by then ayy lmao. 0110
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 20/08/2026How to get me to read a book: be cute trans femme, recommend me book. 0190
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 20/08/202636 days and 7 hours later, the subathon is over. Thank you so, so much everyone for all the support. I'm beside myself trying to reconcile all the love with other things. Thank you all 0410
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Flame Fatales is in fewer days (26) than I've been life (35). Help. 2160
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Hi I'm awake for day 32 of the shovdathon btw. ~18 hours left barring more donations. twitch.tv/shovdatwitch.tvshovda - Live on Twitchpipe dream for fatales - day 32 || !shovdathon4 | Streaming super mario world for 42 viewers. 062
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Also I'm on day 30 of my subathon, but there's only 29 hours left, so please come make me stream more and stuff. Here's my pitch: (flashing lights warning) www.twitch.tv/shovda/clip/...twitch.tvNumber Go Up - shovda on TwitchWatch shovda's clip titled "Number Go Up" 0122
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Now I'm the happiest I've ever been, I think (including childhood; I was not a very happy child). And of course there's sitll ups and downs, bumps and etc., but good lord is it nice to have people who care. 6290
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Now I can appreciate the GDQ runs, and now I can appreciate the book, because I have folks I can celebrate with and who care about my wins. I'm still getting used to this, honestly, but it's very nice, and I've been very content with life lately. 1160
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026And these people didn't leave me behind when the event ended. I chat with them online still, sometimes play games. I hung out with them at SGDQ a bunch, in addition to kaizo folks. It's been, honestly, a revelation in my life, both that things can get back to normal and that things can even be good. 1100
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026There's something here also about, like, relationships among men vs. among women stereotypically, etc., now being trans and among a bunch of other transfemmes, and that specter is here, but it's not my main focus. 170
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026When I showed up, they were so excited to see me. I got hugs, I got introductions, and I got kindness that I hadn't been getting elsewhere, even when things had been good in the friendships that had gone away. I wasn't sure I deserved the warmth, but it was there, and I was grateful. 190
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I wasn't sure what to expect, and I didn't really know most of these people, a good chunk of whom turned out to be transfems who helped with the back end of GDQ stuff. 170
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026And then, trying to find things to do and wanting to try to help with smaller events and things like that, I messaged Court about going to Trading Paces, and they said, yeah, absolutely. 170
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026My first solo GDQ run wasn't helping me get my mind off things. I won a damn first book award and was set to have a collection of poetry published finally, and even that was doing nothing I was absolutely empty. 180
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. I felt like the best option was to disappear from all the spaces I inhabited. If not for a couple friends (nintendesi, seckswrecks), I might not be writing this. 180
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026This year has been one of the worst and then best of my life. It started out terrible; late last year someone I considered a very dear friend decided they no longer could be my friend, and I fell into a deep depression. On Jan 1st, that wound was a week old. 190
shovda @shovda.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I'm very happy to see that speedrunning bsky agrees that gdq is for charity first and speedrunning second. Now to reparse the memory of someone lashing out at me for running the same game as them. 1370
