Been waiting 3.5 years for this day.
Gareth Pursehouse has been found guilty of all three counts (murder, special circumstance of lying in wait, burglary) in the first degree for the murder of Amie Harwick.
Amie deserved so much more in life but at least her killer will now ROT

Holy shit. I have been trying to figure out how to properly articulate this. I've heard him scream similar things to another ex-girlfriend of his, so I've been feeling some type of way about all of this.
So. After 18 months freelancin', I recently accepted a full-time deal w/

In typical "me" fashion, I introduced myself in orientation by providing fun facts about the shoebill stork (which is still my Zoom profile pic).
KNOTFEST IOWA 2021
Here we have the moment I thought the guys were going to do their usual bow and instead, turn around and suggest I get on the riser.
Then the shot.
What you don’t see is me almost misstepping at the end. 😅

I wrote out the feelings I've been having this week to get them out and process them myself. I've decided to share them because hearing others' stories helped remind me I wasn't alone, + I hope this helps someone in the same way.

Dear men,
I've been working with musicians and celebs for 22 years of my life now. TWENTY-TWO.
I definitely do not need you explaining basic ass shit to me.
Y’all, coincidentally we have our quarterly corporate-mandated time off on August 5th and I am letting everyone know that I absolutely plan to spend all of it watching every episode. 😅
On August 5th 2022 all ten episodes of The Sandman will drop on Netflix. You are not expected to watch all ten episodes on August 5th. There will not be a test.
I think we all need to take a real hard look at ourselves and ask what we are actually DOING to try to WORK on solutions outside of just grandstanding on social media.
Yesterday,
@EVO
was given a key to Vegas and August 6th has officially been marked as EVO Day. In addition, EVO has set Guinness Records for the largest EVO (20k+ participants) as well as most participants for a single esports competition.

Content creators:
It is in your best interest to be very aware of how you represent yourself, and not just on your primary platform. Some of us actually do take the time to research EVERYTHING, and if I find a whole lot of misogynist, homophobic, and racist tweets... Hard pass.
🖤
Some of you may not realize this, but while ASTRO HQ is in SF, they let me remain in and work remotely in Minneapolis when they hired me fulltime. Aside from their overall support, warms my heart that we will also be donating to

Photographers: In 2022, can we stop gear-brand-shaming other photographers just because it’s not what you personally prefer? Let people like what they like that works for them and their work. Thanks.

Dear gaming community,
There are PLENTY of words/phrases you can use in your supposed “drunken/heated gaming moments” that aren’t racial slurs. Here are just a few:
• dick
• little shit
• fucker
It’s really not that hard. Jesus christ.
We are almost in 2023 and I am BEGGING some of y'all - especially men - to finally learn and accept that, yes, women can also work in the music biz. That often, yes, they ARE supposed to be running around backstage/sidestage with the rest of the tour crew.
Just a reminder to the world, and to myself, that
@matthewkheafy
is one of the best people to work with. One of the best friends to have. One of the best people, period.
Can everyone just be like Heafy please? Maybe make our lives way less stressful.
The more I post about AAPI topics, the more I lose followers.
Did y'all just somehow not realize I'm Asian? Or is it because you assumed I'd be quiet and docile?
TW: murder
I've been sitting here, FURIOUS about JDX's non-apology, but especially over the "Men literally kill themselves because they can't get women" part.
A book made after my grandmother died, containing photos from her royal funeral and a brief history on my family line.
Usually there’s a light remark among my friends “oh Sarah’s a Thai princess.” It’s not entirely false. Perhaps I’ll dive into that this month.
#RepresentAsian
The last-minute "turn around and tell Sarah to get a pic of us with the crowd behind us instead of our usual bowing to the crowd" shot still cracks me up.

Dear wrestling blogs,
I'm truly flattered that you enjoy my shot of Priscilla Kelly/Gigi Dolin so much to use in your posts. However, I noticed some of you are using a weird resized/pixelated version. Here's the actual one (still low res, but nice). All you gotta do is ask. 😉
Don't assume you know what other people have or haven't experienced based on what they may or may not share on social media.
Just because we may share a lot of things about ourselves here, there's a very high chance it's not everything.
Thank you.

Not sure how to tell you this, but Twitch hasn’t been for just gaming in literal years.
Also, look up the origins of JustinTV.
Side note, how much is rent for the rock you’ve been living under? Just curious.
I notice that I lose followers when I start being "too loud" about
#StopAsianHate
. Not sure if you've noticed, but I'm Asian + proud of it.
Asian; Asian-American; Thai-American, to be exact.
And if you thought I was annoying back in March, not sure what to tell you w/
#AAPIHM
I'm going to keep tweeting + retweeting about this because I highly recommend EVERYONE sit down and watch this. Learn about this part of history that you were likely never taught in school. Hopefully, get a better understanding of why we've been upset.
In light of the Atlanta spa shooting on March 16, 2021,

WATCH HERE:
Some of your favorite streamers and creators (and, yes, even some of your friends) LOVE enjoying and benefiting from our cultures. They also apparently love being silent regarding racism against us. Keep that in mind.
We REALLY have to stop excusing people treating others horribly and speaking to them like they’re beneath them just because of who they work for or with or what the fuck ever.
There’s really no excuse. Period.
One of my favorite things about Soundset 2019 was watching DMX just genuinely enjoy the entire day. I believe this was when he was on his way to check out Tech N9ne’s set.
There's a lot I want to talk about with the case + trial that is so so so important and needs to be heard (especially in light of, well, what some of you in gaming thought was a joke this week)... but first, I'm spending the rest of the night sobbing in relief with mutuals.
Uber Driver: Yeah, my kids watch gamers on YouTube. I don't get it. I mean, who does that? Watch other people play videogames?
Me: Who watches other people play sports?
Driver: HEY! ......... Touché.
One year older. Still alive.
I’ve got creaky ol’ bones and still have this annoying wrist problem, but if anyone assumes, why yes, I am “24” and I’m just “wearing ‘gloves’ to look cool.” 😅
May have to dig through my drives later to share some DMX photos. Will never forget how chill he was at
@soundset
2019 and just genuinely enjoying the entire day.
So let me get this straight.
You hit me up, and if I don't respond in 30 minutes for whatever reason, you follow up with "Good talk". Then when I call you out on your rudeness, this is somehow still my fault?
Nah, dude. Get outta here with that shit.
I understand if you are having problems writing something yourself in fear that your support and acknowledgement may come across the wrong way.
However, at the very bare minimum, you can retweet others' voices.
But if you aren't even doing at least THAT? FOH.
