So, it's with a heavy heart to say that on Monday, Sept 21 at 3:27, my mother has passed away in the hospital. She fought long and hard with the battle she had with cancer, and she took it down with her in a draw and did not let it win. My ko-fi is still up and running to help pay for bills (1/2)

Fuck locking these behind a paywall that requires you to give money to Amazon, especially when they're getting more aggressive in their approach to letting AI use our content.
You will still need to subscribe to my channel if you want to use them on other channels, but that's your choice - you now no longer need to be subscribed to use them on my own.
# Additionally, unless you're using a complimentary Twitch Prime subscription, I would like to ask that instead of subscribing to my channel, you consider donating $5 via [my Ko-Fi](https://ko-fi.com/flickybirb) each month.
This would mean that I get a larger share of your support, and Twitch/Amazon gets none of it. They don't need it, and you can rest easy knowing your money is being split less aggressively between the person you actually want to support and a platform that enables creators to get that support more directly.
Even if you don't have the BetterTTV extension installed (i.e., you're on mobile), if you type in the correct name of a BTTV emote, it will appear to everyone else and on the on-screen chat as that emote.
# You can install the BetterTTV extension on your preferred browser [at their site!](https://betterttv.com/)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ijyvyopyvsubwuojjz2dkbrg/bafkreidnzt7jxmldz2po2pxnyqix54c63tlv7y3khupnm7a35xetlxlkiu)
