In online spaces, reputations are often shaped not by what you say, but what others say about you. I’m exploring the gray area between public fallout and private sabotage — and how forgiveness factors in. I want to hear from folks who may have experienced this firsthand.

E3 may be gone, but I’m grateful I had the chance to share my story as a legally blind gamer in 2018. Since then, the industry’s made huge strides in accessibility—and it makes me proud to see games evolving in the best way to meet their players where they are. 🎮♿️ #E3 #SummerGameFest

🎮 Early last month, I flew to LA for one weekend to go hands-on with the Nintendo Switch 2. 🦯 As a legally blind gamer, I wanted to feel how serious Nintendo is about accessibility moving forward. I documented the entire experience. #NintendoSwitch2 Full video below. ⬇️

I know I've teased it before, but life happens and I decided to hold anticipating a move last year that I did in October. I wanted to get to know my new place and get acquainted. Now I am once again, moving forward with Guide Dog training. I'll provide updates as I can. 🦮

Y'all, in a parking lot I found 16 unopened Pokémon booster packs on a coffee run! Took them to GameStop, and the employee said they were bought hours ago by someone doing a huge haul. No one came looking for them, so they told me to keep them. 🥲 Made my day!
