We are rolling into summer and I have been cooking up a lot of great things in Decentraland for you all. After rediscovering it in March I've been going full throttle. Here is what is the news:

Decentraland YouTube Livestreamer + UGC Community Lead
I'm super proud to announce I'm officially streaming on Decentraland YouTube 3 times a week in their pilot program. This is a paid gig, which I'm super proud of, because it now fulfills my lifelong dream of being a pro-gamer. I've been having a lot o...

Why I love VR ~ <3

Salon de l’Empress
Nov 26
I was that little girl who watched Star Trek: TNG late-night Saturdays and dreamed of having a holodeck, so of course I love VR. I have played Beat Saber and done VR painting for a few years now and recently started streaming when I am in VR. I have shoulder/neck/right side injuries and pain issues which I have been dealing with for years from a lifetime of repetitive stress from manual labor, painting, and unfortunately compounded with injuries and trauma that was causing so many symptoms in...

remix it w/ no censorship (empress's edition)

Salon de l’Empress
Aug 29
In the glow of the remix's mechanics potential, where every post becomes a canvas for collective evolution, the call for 'switches' to erase unwanted layers rings hollow and stands as a shadow of systems some of us are trying to leave behind. I wholly celebrate remix as quote-tweeting on steroids, a tool that bull-runs engagement and democratizes narrative. Yet introducing deletion mechanics betrays the core promise of onchain building: resistance to censorship. What starts as a safeguard aga...

I just got done writing about my #summerween glitch ai music album, and decided to scroll the internet and saw jacob from zora Linda Xie tweet about co-developing backstaged.xyz ~ a new mini app that interlinks with zora creator coins to provide holders exclusive content and experiences. For the @ETHGlobal hackathon, @serdave_eth @maariabajwa and I built a Patreon for creator coins! Creators can post exclusive content that supporters with a certain balance of their creator co...

New Artist Bio

Salon de l’Empress
Jul 27
I worked with Grok on a new artist bio all day today by having it research and research some more to find everything it could to put together a comprehensive artist bio. This was a process, but not as painful as it usually is without ai which it would have taken me weeks to do this update probably instead of one stoned saturday night. It also has given me the idea to create an AI lore bot that continually collects what I have done to keep information current for me and anyone interested to kn...

Super Elite Squad Hypersub revamped 2025 edition

Salon de l’Empress
Feb 1
Rebooting Elitism Let’s get real—2024 was a lot. Between health issues, election stress, world chaos, and career burnout, I hit the pause button on a few things, including Hypersub. Turns out even Empresses need a break from being elite sometimes. But after some much-needed recovery, deep self-reflection, physical therapy, and a reassessing what brings me joy, I’m back. And so is Hypersub, recharged and refined for 2025.
