My run is up next at SGDQ 2026! Come watch me play the new Kirby fast :D
Just beat the Kaizo Ironmon challenge in my 8th Pokémon game. Blastoise beat Emerald! I was really starting to enjoy the game too. To complete the series (generations 3–7), I only have Ultra Sun left to go. The last Kaizo Ironmon game starts this week... can I become the first ever series champion?
Fantastic AGDQ Animal Crossing Golden Net race, GGs to Drew for the win and sorry for nearly stealing the thunder with that wild comeback to actually finish in (semi-decent) time. Definitely worth a watch back, I feel like it went exceptionally well :)
Some surprise Air Riders fanart for @bluekandy.bsky.social 💙🐕🌟 Totally wasn't being discreet in the chat LMAO
100% story mode in just over 10 hours lol. Having a blast on day 0, and it'll only get better I'm sure. Air Riders wins
Adagio is enjoying some sun this afternoon :D It's been a great two weeks getting to know each other
OMG LOL I woke up in an absolute stupor to this, this is incredible!! Animal Crossing speedrun race @ the next GDQ :D
SOLVED!! Animal Crossing: City Folk is coming to #AGDQ2026!! It looks like it's gonna be a Golden Net race between @bluekandy.bsky.social and @drewpag.bsky.social!!
Kirby Air Riders makes me so stupidly happy. I wanted to sleep 6 hours ago but my brain has been in overdrive since the direct and I feel this rare wondrous passion stuck in the back of my head. This is a game made for me, and I can't wait :D
Life is so much fun :) This week is super packed—two stream days in a row already with a third coming up, a meeting with SPC meteorologists, and I'm talking to a high school class about my work! Been absolutely kicking butt so far and ready to keep going!
Fun chase all around! I saw 3 (maybe 4) barely tornadoes, two in new states (TX/KS). Satisfied the storm structure checkbox. Enjoyed some good food, at this point honoring traditional spots for our group. Some pics below :) Thanks to Jared, Sam, Hunter and Wyatt for another dope year
Out chasin storms till the 30th. First day yesterday was decent, in 3 tornado warnings & saw 1 funnel in Portage, Wisconsin :) Two weeks of vacation to go!
hi bluesky :) our coverage yesterday is #1 trending on youtube today in the US. pretty wild results
Ok... I think we did good. I believe I issued over 100 y'all watches, and I heard there were over 230 tornado warnings for the day. Coverage was immaculate and we peaked at 288,000 viewers for severe weather, a new high for the mode.
Never a good thing when your boss wakes up and the first message he sends you is "omg we could be live the next 5 days in a row"😅
I'm completely overwhelmed after the last two days' outbreak. I feel like I'm ready to do 12 more hours of coverage, yet at the same time I cannot motivate myself to do anything else lol. Severe weather paralysis of some sort
Hey Bluesky! First 12 hours over the next 36 intense hours of weather coverage: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_zC... Will be a more interactive stream from me, you'll see my work the entire time via our radar program & the usual callouts. Spreading the word during an outbreak is the best thing we can do

Ryan and I are testing something new with this weekend's severe weather streams. Interactive "y'all watch out" areas, which direct Ryan's attention directly to my queue-ins & provide context through confidence level, hazard, timing, and cities+counties of particular concern within a drawn shape.
I haven't seen a single good, just, sound, logical or supportive reason for laying off National Weather Service and NOAA meteorologists from anyone on ANY site or social media. Keep fighting. These people have incredible talents and refined expertise, and I want to help them.
hi bluesky! you can catch me relaying tornadoes & damaging wind threats all day today here, the first of our long near-spring events with @rhyall.bsky.social : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqjd... already had a long segment talking about the squall overtaking supercells leading to torgen... :3

one of my favorite things to share, which you probably haven't seen yet: My application to Ryan that led to me working with him! This might provide some good info on what works in the online space, or maybe you'll get something from it I haven't even considered. Enjoy :)
To help inspire those in meteorology with uncertainty right now—I never considered another career choice, only applied to one university, and moved to that area with my family as we were about to go bankrupt. Passion is what gets through every seemingly impossible wall. This wall is no different!
pretty incredible streams during this super kaizo ironmon bet with 7 other wonderful gentlemen. 600 viewers naturally with no raids brings me back to the peak HGSS kaizo days in summer 2023. having lots of fun, we'll see if my wallet doesn't have fun though lol

To meteorology students or future students: Do not let anything happening right now put out your fire to pursue your passion.
there's a unique giddiness I feel whenever I get to experience unique precipitation events. I've never been in an ice storm, and while this pales in comparison to one, I can't help but be really excited to experience freezing rain tonight!! Me + FZRA -> =)
I hosted a story telling of the significance of Midas kitty in my life. If not for him: I likely wouldn't have found my soulmate, which would've impacted pursuing my hobby of streaming, and that would've stopped me from stepping up to my job in meteorology. listen: www.twitch.tv/videos/23716...
