ALL MY FRIENDS TAKES THE FUCKIN LEAD

Had to be some drama here. We are running a filter to make sure we strip out some bot voting esp at the end. Final scores to come.

[pending review]

Sorry all, we had a bunch of bot voting there at the very end that mucked up the Qualtrics results. After we filtered those out, we can say with confidence that the actual FINAL SCORE for the CHAMPIONSHIP is AMERIE 631, LCD 587.

Huge appreciation as always to the Selection Committee for taking on the enormous task of running this thing every year. Heroic! x.com/marchxness/sta…

Holy moly! What a ride! Congrats to Sejal Shah on her Champion essay & dances vids! Very much worthy of the W! Thank you Ander Monson & @EmbracetheHag for organizing!! This has been so so fun & exhilarating! Appreciate all the ❤️ & support I’ve gotten

The internet, like any widespread implementation of technology under the condition of private ownership of the means of production, was supposed to make a small few people wildly rich. It succeeded wildly.

Amen!

Proud of this video work I have to say
