april 2022 ➡️ march 2023
last year, i dreamt of working in esports — of traveling to events near and far, establishing myself as a professional in the industry.
today, that dream is my reality.
i learned how to observe and produce thanks to other women in the industry. i'd like to do my part to uplift others, too.
i'm looking to train a couple female/nb folks how to produce and run a show on OBS.
DM if interested. no exp required, just show me ur passion for esports.
it’s anniepoo day! 🎂🥂
one year older today and the happiest i’ve ever been.
i’m living the life i dreamed of as a kid! getting older isn’t that scary after all~
long-distance friends, if i visit your city pls take me on a tour of your life.
show me where you do groceries, the restaurant you order delivery from every friday, even that shitty bar you went to in college.
let me exist in your daily life in a way i can't behind a screen 🥺

i got pulled aside at U.S. customs and spent too much time trying to explain how i was in brazil for a video game tournament.
trying to talk about esports at 5am after a 10 hour flight is pee pee poo poo brain.
the officer saw all the merch i have and was like oh this is legit
First impressions are extremely important in networking and getting to know people!
A bad first message might discourage people from responding if you don't grab their attention.

Hey, I know that you have concerns and I don't think that you shared this out of malice, but this *is* an enbyphobic statement. There are also nonbinary people who use she/her pronouns, but they're still nonbinary. Nonbinary is its own gender, not an extension of male or female.

i’m very grateful for the last two years with CG and the opportunity to support TOs across the globe through sponsorships and grants.
exciting new chapter starting soon 👊
Any streamers or Discord community events coordinators wanna run a tournament??
Looking for some events, leagues, and tourneys to give prize pool support to 👀
Can be any game 😛
today is just big sad hours. esports has just felt like a void of hopelessness lately.
feeling especially sad about marginalized/minority gender esports. i used to think that online gaming/esports could be a safe space that many nb/trans people can't find in their day-to-day
can't bring in eyedrops or chapstick to valorant champs, but there's nothing here that says you can't bring deodorant so i better not smell any stinky gamers.
i’ve graduated from “coffee is a meal” era
during esports broadcasts there’s no time to cook, so i used to survive off of iced coffee, sparkling water, and hot cheetos for 6-8 hours
months of that did bad things to my body so i had to start cooking real meals 😤
todays menu 👇
🙈 but if u close ur eyes, does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all 🙈
me: man I've been doing valorant for a while. can't wait to do OW2 and meet new teams during Calling All Heroes!😍

i, ✨ an introvert ✨, spent the last two months traveling across the americas, talking to strangers, and making new friends. very cool but i miss having a routine and sleeping in my own bed.
going home tmr and entering social hibernation until astral clash. see ya later nerds.
me: I want to host an event where tournament admins can play too, instead of working!
literally all but two tournament admins: i would love to be an admin for your tournament!
guess this will be an admin 1v1 between two ppl and 50 admins regulating the ONE lobby.
i was recently called mentally ill for saying the word “enbyphobic”
nonbinary (NB/enby) is an umbrella term for gender identities that are not just male or female (like genderless/bigender/genderfluid)
enbyphobia is invalidation, discrimination, or prejudice against NB people

i'm not gonna say who, but someone on the CAH crew started crying once we wrapped. i am now also crying.
Calling All Heroes means so much to us all. I'm so grateful to be a small part of it.
there's a lot of excitment but i feel the need to be transparent and state that this would be a for-fun personal project / community event!! (read: tiny prize pool)
i don't have funds to pay admins/talent and have to rely on the generosity of others volunteering their time😢

lotsa people DM me asking how i got started in esports production and what my work days typically look like. it’s been getting harder to schedule coffee chats w/ everyone!

sorry my dog is now my entire personality but look at how pretty she is!!! 😭😭😭
we went to the vet today and she was so well behaved. she didn’t nip or cry at all and didn’t even notice when she got poked for her vaccines 🥹
all the training sessions are paying off already
✨ going out to pride celebrations tomorrow with my friends 🏳️🌈 ✨
i’m really excited but… we’re also wearing shoes that we could run in, sharing emergency contacts, and setting a rendezvous point in case of an *emergency* :/

. good job anniepoo.
this is your friendly reminder that helping a man join the galorants server or knowing about one and not reporting it is an autoban.
all users who have are found guilty get the ban hammer.
i’m tired of hustle culture and want to take a week off to do nothing but eat soup and lay in bed when i am not eating soup.
normalize self care and taking pto to eat soup. 😡
convincing someone to take a sick day at a gaming company be like
"irl health pots are health regen, not instant health. u need to take time off."
my coworker's response: "but i took a chug jug"
y'all call ppl old like it's a bad thing. my life gets better every year bro i'm way happier and healthier than i was at 18 LOL
have you heard of financial independence, healthy relationships w/ ppl u actually care about, and respecting yourself bc i didn't until i was in my 20s
i’m hella confident in my abilities and exp outside esports, but sometimes when ppl talk about their years in esports i got mad imposter syndrome hitting me.
it’s weird moving from general events to esports bc it feels like ppl were born into esports and i immigrated here 🫠
just wrapped up my last broadcast of 2022 with Calling All Heroes.
this was the biggest year in my life both in a personal and professional capacity. i have so many people to thank for helping me grow.
sappy blog post coming after i get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow 😢
this time in LA is both an esports trip and a tattoo trip 🥹💕

lock//in?? more like locked//out of my connecting flight.
LF fe/nb casters for a collegiate VALORANT event for marginalized genders Aug. 13-14, call time 10am PT.
Preference goes to students and college-aged casters, this is an entry level gig, minimal exp required.
i sacrificed health, mental wellness, time with loved one, and a lot of evenings+weekends to build a new career this year. it was hard.
life is short, and one day when i die i don't want to be remembered as a workaholic.
2023 will be about slowing down and living mindfully.

Speaking for myself and not for any organization I'm affiliated with, I think we draw the line at MEN.
Men, no matter what pronouns they use. They can use he/him or he/they pronouns, but if a person is a man this scene should not be for them.
