Eric Bauza was an amazing human. I met him while running a charity campaign for my 40th birthday to raise $1,000,000 for disabled gamers. He didn't know me from Adam, but when a mutual friend asked him to get involved, he was nothing but kind. He did voices on my stream for people who donated.

He was warm, friendly, and loving to every fan who just wanted to hear their favorite character say something fun, and he did it all so disabled people could play video games. I didn't keep up with many of the people who raised money with me that year...

"I am not responsible for the version of myself that someone else created in their mind" is the most powerful life lesson I've ever learned.

So, uhm, @sheetz.bsky.social what exactly are you puttin' in my cookie dough?!?

The Xbox Nano Controller seems very interesting for accessibility. Like the PowerA Mini, it targets Switch fans, but it also works well for people with atrophy, who struggle to hold the controller for long periods because of its weight, or who have difficulty reaching the buttons.

I'm 46 & I've been streaming for 9 years. This weekend our community finally broke 2000 sub points for the first time. Ever. In nine years. It was so emotional; tears fell.

I send this message to any surviving dreamers taking refuge among the stars: Never stop trying. Never give up chasing. Life is short, but life is long. In the end, you're only competing with yourself. It's never too late to achieve a dream, big or small. Keep going.

Most months we average 1000-ish. I constantly feel like a failure amongst my streamer friends. It's hard to shake the feeling that I've let my Spawners down by not being a huge channel after nearly a decade.

I think one of the most painful parts of being in the same industry for over 20 years is seeing people you once loved and respected fall into behavior you never imagined. I blocked another creator "friend" I knew for over a decade today because they wouldn't stop calling people R****ds.

Can I vent for a minute? Thanks. We need to do better for nurses, and our healthcare system is such trash. After nearly a decade, I parted ways with one of my nurses over creative differences. This means I need to find someone I can trust to help my life be better for the next decade.

How low, you ask, big dog? It's abysmal. A nonlicensed PCA earns only around $15 an hour, and an LPN is somewhere around $22-ish, depending on your agency. You can make more money by being a Walmart greeter!

I made 46. I’m grateful I get to say that. ❤️ There’s a funny disconnect between how people picture my life with a disability and a photo like this. They see the disability. I’m over here celebrating another birthday with my beautiful girlfriend, friends, cake, and emotional support chicken nuggets.

Spot the difference. You can't. Confidence comes from finding your source of power. For me, it was the unexplainable connection I found with this woman. From Hollywood to people in my face, I've been told all my life people like me don't get the happily-ever-after. People like me can't win.

Ever been told that? Ever thought that? F@#! that! I won. So can you. You can find YOUR power source. You can do what others say is IMPOSSIBLE. Just don't give up on YOU. Happiness is determination. Be unrelenting. Be stubborn. Be unwavering in the face of your obstacles.

Today's video asks my girlfriend a serious question that I believe many of you have wondered about us, and most disabled people have wondered about in their own relationships. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8nA...
