Join my friends @meganbound @mikaelaville @victoria_maximus and I tonight on the Transvengers show on Twitch. The community that is supporting us has grown and only grown more amazing. Thank you to all those that take part and also choose to support the chosen charity for our channel (the Trevor Project). 7pm Pacific time! twitch.tv/transvengers #messycurls

I finished my taxes late last night, then couldn’t sleep after focusing so intently on something like that. I was tired at first this morning but wow did I make some strong coffee today! Also.. I ate a bunch of carrots yesterday so do my eyes seem brighter to you too? 🥕🥕🥕👀🙄 Maybe they are

If you zoom in, you will see my other eye staring into the depths of your soul. #watchoutiseeyou #itsokayiknowyoursecrets #omgwhyareyouthinkingthat #urbad #fuchsiastackedbob #curlyblondebobcut #curlymodeactivate #transvengers #lgbt #girlslikeus #fuschiagirl #fuschiahighlights #decadeofari #twitchaffiliate #ihaveapatreon #samenameashere https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnva3unlQK/?igshid=b45p3uupauw5

It’s 88 and sunny, but I am doing an afternoon stream of games with friends just cause I miss you all. Hopefully my posts don’t feel too much like commercials.. I just like inviting new people to experience the fun and community we have on Twitch. It really is a great way to still feel

Going live on Twitch to fly a plane and it’s been a while.. Lookout below! Twitch.tv/maidenariana #twitchaffilate #nofilter #ringlightselfie #fuchsiastackedbob #curlyhair #lgbt #girlslikeus #transvengers #joinustwitchisfun https://www.instagram.com/p/CAjcSUJn3ZQ/?igshid=hi7ljcxhsgty

Quarantine hair? Whaddya mean? The benefit of naturally curly hair vs Covid-19 lockdown… At least it looks nice before I toss and turn on it in bed. 😄 Also, my gosh @squeeekin I don’t know how we got my color to last this long but it’s been almost 2.5 months that the fuschia has stayed.

Bottom right Ari is the one who had to decide which of the 6 selfies to post. She couldn’t do it. #tanktopwars #retronerdgirl #yourmovemika #imofftomorrow #latestreamtonightmaybe #doyoureadthese #ifyoudoimtrans #actuallyifyoudontimstilltrans #andbeingtransisdamncool #transvengers #lgbt #twitchaffiliate #fuchsiastackedbob #fuschiagirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdhtquHrsr/?igshid=1dmmltdixkgap

These photos were both taken on Monday. On the left, 2:39am & on the right, just before I began to stream later that day. Why is she sharing this? Is she okay? You might ask many questions based on the picture on the left. Why did i even take that photo? The short answers are

In the days of the trials, a hero emerges.. Just kidding! It’s only me. Ari has finally left the building on a bright and sunny Friday. Mask at the ready in my purse, I braved the unknown. I got to witness some crazy flooding of one of the nearby rivers after last night’s weather. Apparently

Several friends on my twitch stream yesterday made the joke that they could only see my head when the stream started. Their coordinated humor actually tricked me into thinking the gamma was too low on my camera. 🤣 Despite being a little slow on the uptake, it was a blast playing GTAV with @meganbound and

“Ms. Ari teaches us about..” was the title of my twitch stream yesterday. I surprised my twitch friends by greeting the class in character at first but then we proceeded to just enjoy the afternoon hanging out. I worked through my todo list of some website work and video highlighting I needed to do while

This is my shots fired #tanktopwars post. I straightened my hair yesterday and used a purple shampoo to tone out the yellowing that happens over time with us bottled blondes. The photo in the center shows the lightened tone best. I like how it turned out. I also was having fun trying different settings and

Selfie blast mid windows 2000 install yesterday 😄 My antec retro full tower pc build is now dual booting dos 6.22 and windows 2000 service pack 4. This has been a fun project already. I will be working more on it this weekend and streaming the effort on my twitch channel. I will be setting

It was a sunny day in the high 70s, so I felt it was time for #longskirt day for my #officeoutfitoftheday And yet, I also declared it another #nationalwearaclubbingtoptoworkday 😇 This outfit was a mix of #vavavoom and #homeschoolteacher 😅 I kinda crushed it at work today and flew right through stuff that normally would have taken me much longer. It all worked though! #girlswhocode #dotnetdeveloper #girlslikeus #transvengers #girlswithglasses #blowoutstyles #blondehair #careergirl #pinkpeekaboohighlights #peekaboohighlights

Also.. purple tops and hazel eyes.. #girlslikeus #thisgirlisover40 #transvengers #girlswhocode #girlswithglasses #blondehair #ponytailtime #purpleforhazel #nightout

The work day is done and so is 95% of my planned #agile sprint work. Time to get out of these heels, tights, & dress and have a well earned short period of lounging about 😊 I’m all out of hard cider though 😳 Maybe I will run out and get some then stream some games later. #nofilter #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #girlswithglasses #careergirl #transvengers #twitchaffiliate twitch.tv/maidenariana

Thank you for 10K followers Instagram. That’s amazing. I’m humbled at the number of people that choose to follow my life. As I look at out at you all in this post, I have something I want to say. My social media presence on various platforms has always been about showing through my modest successes and growing happiness that #transgender people are human beings who can overcome #hatred #bigotry #stigma #socialmediaattacks #discrimination & more to just be themselves and soar and defy and live and love and win.

Many people that follow me must not carefully read my hashtags and once in a while send me shocked messages such as “wait, you’re trans? What does that mean for you exactly?” (an actual recent dm I recieved) #waityouaretrans

The stigma of being attracted to, wanting to date, or loving a transgender woman, causes fear and shame in far too many people (not just men). You are attracted to us. You should be. We are all pretty amazing people and over time we find our strength, confidence, and a power which emanates from us and translates to a beauty flowing from within that attracts people of all persuasions. I get it. Among several other gender classifications, I date transgender women too because we are the bomb. The difference is, I will proudly proclaim that I date transgender women and far too many people out there keep their attraction hidden, are wrongly ashamed of it and will even attack or kill to keep it a secret. There have been 3 deaths in 1 week.

Stop this nonsense. Accept your love of transgender people as normal because it is. Then, decide to protect us by no longer staying silent when friends or family throw out disgusting messages of #transhate or poke fun at a friend who hits on a girl that “might be trans.” Abolish the use of terms in your friend group that demean us or make us seem less than human. Tell your mates to cut it out and that you think it’s wrong to hate on people. It’s as simple as that, acknowledging we are people!

Working from home and ready for the work day to end.. I went to the dentist today and had no cavities so yay me! 😁 I hope you all had some good news today too. Btw I might stream tonight or tomorrow night. I have a bit of a headache from all the poking and prodding in my mouth by the dentist. We will see how I am feeling after dinner 🤔 #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #girlswithglasses #transvengers #careergirl #pinkpeekaboohighlights #blondehair #blowoutstyles #coraldress #twitchaffiliate twitch.tv/maidenariana

So yesterday I got my nails done by this dum dum .. @squeeekin 😄 who happens to be one of my besties! Tried a new color that looked familiar some how 😉 #dumdumnails #girlslikeus #nofilter #blowoutstyles #blondehair #omgnoglasses #hazeleyes #transvengers #shellacnails

Someone recently said “more natural light photos!” Well.. here is one I took yesterday in front of CVS during the “golden hour” as the sun set. I earned those crows feet that this angle seems to highlight. 😄 #ageisjustanumber #girlslikeus #nofilter #summerdress #girlswithglasses #transvengers #wedontneednostinkinfilters #twitchaffiliate

This dress is still hands down one of my favorite #thriftstorefinds ever. It was time to bring it back out today since it’s 77 and sunny! Also two guys at the outdoor cafe were staring at me as I rounded this street corner. Is there something on my face? #girlslikeus #theladieshaveabettershot #pan #pinkpeekaboohighlights #girlswithglasses #blowoutstyles #blondehair #polkadotdress #flapperdress #transvengers

Seems like it’s a #minimalmakeup to #nomakeup kinda day for a lot of us insta peeps today. Count me in that group. It’s 74 and sunny and it’s a #workfromhome day. My kids are homeschooled, so I got them outside with me at lunchtime for a quick walk in the forest preserve. It was beautiful! My skin likes the tasty vitamin D 😋 #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #transvengers #twitchaffiliate #transparent twitch.tv/maidenariana #nofilter #tanktopwars

Pulling my hair in a pony tail sure does make it look like I went with a short cut.. 😁 You’ve all seen this outfit before but not with my fake short hair.. #mondaycasualofficeoutfit #girlslikeus #girlswithglasses #girlswhocode #reallymyhairisstilllong #nofilter #transvengers #orangeyougladitsnotcut

Sunday daytime date look. #girlslikeus #nofilter #datelook #timeforcoffee #transvengers #hopefulaboutthisone

No filter.. unless you count the sunlight from my window and the fact that I’m finally getting that healthy glow back after being ill for over a week! Feeling wonderful right now. Working from home went great today. Helped my boss squash a hidden bug. Now picking up the kids in a bit to enjoy this weekend with them. Also.. natural makeup look ftw.. #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #nofilter #girlswithglasses #pinkpeekaboohighlights #blowoutstyles #blondehair #careergirl #transvengers

Thanks for the encouragement today you all. I feel frazzled and tired but also happy and getting back to healthy 😊🥳 #workdayisdone #girlswhocode #girlslikeus #womenintech #girlswithglasses #blondehair #curlymode #curlyhair #pinkpeekaboohighlights #tomorrowisfriday #transvengers

I’m exhausted thanks to getting only 3 to 4 hours of fitful sleep the past few nights due to my cough despite trying half a dozen remedies. My hair is a frazzled mess thanks to days of humid, rainy weather and today’s wind.. but I made it to the office. Yay, I guess? The weather looks awesome for the next week, I’m feeling much better and so far have been coughing much less today. I so hope a corner has been turned! #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #girlswithglasses #pinkpeekaboohighlights #curlymode #curlyhair #onthemend #thatfrizztho #transvengers

I’m still not sleeping well due to major coughing spells at night. However, it is day 3 of antibiotics and other than my sleep being jacked up, I do feel a lot better. So.. things are #lookingup (Haha, get it?) Also #tanktopwars #girlslikeus #ariiscurlyagain #curlymode #curlyhair #pinkpeekaboohighlights #girlswithglasses #omgnoglasses #blondehair #transvengers

I was jokingly told I need to up my selfie game in a group chat with a few Instagram peeps you may know. I don’t know what I was trying to do here. I think I should stick with my more basic shots. 🤔 #girlslikeus #transvengers #tanktopwars #pinkpeekaboohighlights #omgnoglasses #blondehair #stillsickbtw

Catching up on Instagram posts, follow me there for my latest posts I was like.. do I be obnoxious and post that last set of shots of my new red dress/sweater dress? Well I done went and did it! Originally posted on Instagram 03/06/2019 – https://ift.tt/2GYqWOB

Catching up on Instagram posts, follow me there for my latest posts New office outfit monday part 2! 💃 This #reddress is a #rossfind I acquired Saturday while having a blast shopping with my daughter. Time to get back to #coding work. I hope you all are having a wonderful monday! Expect maybe even one

Let’s call this my #transvengers test shot. I vanquished a foe today. At least temporarily. I was up until 4am coughing up a storm and driven to some tears because of my extreme fatigue and very sore throat. I finally fell asleep and slept until around 11am. I know what my body needs to beat a cold and thanks to forcing myself to go grocery shopping last night I had what I needed. I started the day with some strong coffee, a large banana, and almond milk vanilla yogurt with some crispy light strawberry granola and raw almonds mixed in. I also drank some water and then prepped my bike for a ride. It was 73 and partly sunny and I had to get out there. With being sick, I wasn’t sure I’d have any energy left once I hauled my bike down from my second story condo. I got out there though and I rode. With all of the recent rain my normal trail was flooded out, so I decided to ride some grass and rock trails I had never taken. They were challenging but fun! My ride was only 4 miles today unlike my usual 9 to 11 mile range, but it was just as challenging with the terrain and so much more rewarding considering the circumstances. This pic is from just after my ride. The endorphins made me feel ready to take on the world and my cold feels absent at least for now. Also.. @mikaelaville keeps challenging us with the #tanktopwars hashtag. Well I’m officially starting the #sportsbrawars hashtag. Who’s next? 😘 #girlslikeus #coldremedy #inspiration #getoutthere #pinkpeekaboohighlights #pigtails #omgnoglasses #blondehair #workout #twitchaffiliate twitch.tv/maidenariana

Welp! I’m officially sick. I had a temp of 99.8 today and took some more dayquil. I slept away most of this beautiful afternoon and I am so bummed to be missing nice weather. After sleeping most of the afternoon, I was starving. So, I perked myself up as best I could and headed to my local target for groceries. Just getting dressed and doing my makeup made me feel a little better. I almost convinced myself I’m fine. A target employee was going out to get carts and saw me walking up. He told me a really bad joke that I don’t remember but I cough/laughed quite loudly to it. I think I scared him! Lol #girlslikeus #imsicksendhugs #nofilter #pinkpeekaboohighlights #girlswithglasses #blowoutstyles #blondehair #omgnoglasses #nomakeup #transvengers #twitchaffiliate twitch.tv/maidenariana

I’m still fighting off a head cold.. what did you give me @mikaelaville ? 😁 jk, I think with after coming back to 4 days of constant rain, flooded rivers, and very high humidity after being in LA.. my body is like WTH let’s go back to that nice place! 😂 Regardless of how I have been feeling, work is back to a normal pace, and after a little extra rest I am ready to go grab some sushi with friends tonight. I also got to meet my cousin for lunch today. She is up visiting from Florida and hasn’t seen me since before I had been able to just be me. It was wonderful to see her and we had a nice time. 🧡 #girlslikeus #girlswithglasses #peekaboohighlights #blondehair #pinkpeekaboohighlights #skaterdress #transvengers #girlswhocode #oddanglefutonshot

Ever get back from a vacation and feel like the world is punishing you for taking time for yourself? The world exploded in on me last night and today. We had issues with a rollout at work and I was up until almost 1am to help with that. Then there was fallout and catching up today because of that. I was making some uncharacteristic mistakes and feeling stupid while trying to find one last issue. Also, my kids were here and I could not give them the attention I wanted at lunch and dinner time after missing them last week due to catching up on work. During a conference call, I heard someone accidentally misgender me on the phone. No wonder, my voice was stressed and tired. It’s been a long time since that has happened. I just wanted to hang up and cry. On top of all that, I just really want to be back in LA and run away from it all for just a short while.. I miss the feeling of being stress free and happy. Arrgh. I do feel better now though. I needed to decompress and got to go to the salon for a blowout on my hair. It needed it after traveling. I also streamed again finally on twitch and said hi to some friends there. My night ended well and I am feeling better but what a day. #thisgirlistired #girlslikeus #missingla #roughdayatwork #hanginginthere #girlswhocode #needafollowupvacation #nofilter #omgnoglasses #pinkpeekaboohighlights #twitchaffiliate twitch.tv/maidenariana #blondehair #blowoutstyles #transvengers
