From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤️

Hey @bonniewords - That is a TrackIR, the Assistive Technology device I use to play video games despite being nearly quadriplegic. It works with a program called TrackMapper to press keys on the keyboard. The thing on your head emits a small infrared light. Imagine each section on a dartboard represents a different keyboard button. As you move your head in different directions, the light touches different boxes, allowing you to move or jump in a video game. Hope that helps. P.S. You don't look stupid wearing it. AT is punk AF. x.com/BonnieUpdatess/status/…

gentle reminder that people who once worked on the things that you love may no longer want to engage with those things anymore

I don't suffer fools

Little of this clown show is permanent. Time washes mistakes away. It's all fixable.

Vicki is my fiercest defender. But when security at The Met made snide comments about my breathing equipment, I was sure she'd need bailed outta jail. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=F-drRQ3m…

How do I opt out?

When you have SMA, it's not particularly difficult to break something. But you would think a wheelchair would keep your toes safe. A New York City cabdriver took on that challenge. Check out the details in my latest video: youtube.com/watch?v=GmCG9Kbk…

I read that Michael Jackson actually called them to compliment them on their cover. To this day, I feel like it's one of the best covers that's ever been done.

Hey @Activision @ATVIAssist - This is unfair. A QuadStick is no more a cheat device than a ramp! These controllers are the ONLY way they can access the game. Please look into their case and UNBAN! cc for visibility: @GenePark @Slasher @DirtyEffinHippy @LaurakBuzz

NYC was a blast. I may have broken a toe. Vicki almost fought a rude MET security guard. And we had amazing pizza. You can check out our adventure on YouTube now! Link in the comments below or search our channel InterdisabledInLove!

My heart goes out to all the Guardians out there. I'm sad to see it go. Thank you for the fun memories.

Nurses really do say some messed-up things: Nurse: Are you going to lose any services when the Medicaid cuts arrive? Me: Unsure. I'm worried, but it would be expensive to institutionalize me, so maybe I'll be okay. Nurse: They probably won't warn you; you'll just lose services. Me: I hope not, but maybe, man. Nurse: When they privatize Medicaid, that will definitely hit you. Me: Uh, probably Nurse: I mean it's only fair, I paid into it, if I'm going to lose it everyone should. Me: ???????

Who you choose to be around you tells you who you really are.

I tried that last summer. But deadass, no matter how quickly I made the tires on my wheelchair spin, it didn't really seem to help my quadriplegic butt size. /shrugs

I'm going live to support @HopeForTheDay and their mission to support mental health. This cause means a lot to me, as being disabled is not an easy life. Some Days Are Hard, but it's okay to not be okay! Donations appreciated: tilt.fyi/alOfMp9nQJ #StreamForHope #ad #HFTD

RE: StreamElements To get everyone on the same page, here's a breakdown on what's happening, because rumors always travel further and faster in a vacuum. Earlier today, there was an initial rumor that StreamElements was laying off all staff and shutting down. I heard this secondhand from a trusted source, but, like any rumor, it was not confirmed; it was merely a starting point. (I personally require at least two independent sources to confirm a story, as individuals can make mistakes or misinterpret the facts, especially if there's a reason that might make it personal.) Since then, this single source has repeated this story to everyone in his StreamElements Sponsorship Discord (not the official one), and as such, it has been shared as a rumor widely across streamer Twitter. Yes, he does work for StreamElements as a Creator Success Manager. So, he does have credibility. At the same time, I have attempted to get secondary confirmation from anyone at StreamElements - but have been unable to. Every person I have spoken to about this (creators, former SE staff, media people) has the same source... the person mentioned above. Now that said, let's talk contributing factors: 1. StreamElements continues to be silent on the matter. 2. They have been slow to pay users in recent weeks. 3. They seem to have been removed from Twitch's Third Party sponsorship offers. 4. They have been soliciting donations to keep the service free. 5. They have had numerous layoffs over the last few years, and more have left of their own volition in the last few months. On the other hand, it's unusual to simply shut down a service with hundreds of thousands of users without first becoming a paid service. Or maybe just shutting down part of the service and focusing wholly on the sponsorship side. Either way, it's unusual. This entire thing is unusual. And while the rumors may end up being true, I don't feel confident saying that yet. As I said, my standard is at least two independent confirmations - more is better. I always prefer being right to being first. That said, given the situation as presented, it may still be worthwhile to ensure any SEPay money is requested, and you may want to download your alerts (or move to an alternative, such as Streamlabs. Disclosure: I have a partnership with them - but an easy link to do so is attached below.) If I learn more before StreamElements addresses it publicly themselves, I will share whatever facts I can confirm.

I don't know if the rumors are true, but I would definitely advise all streamers using this payment platform to withdraw all their money as soon as possible. I heard Dan's gaming talking about it and I trust Pyro.
