I will attempt to upgrade my PC this weekend. My streamerversary is 5/27 so maybe we test out these decks my very cool coworker, with yuo, let me borrow. I'm not sure how but I will be looking into it this week. Reminder me not to leave the house! There's no good outside! Avoid grass!

Took a minute for it to sink in, but after my ex said who told me I was the love of his life, told me that they got over me after buying some new clothes, everything shifted. I'm not a snack baby, I'm the whole meal. They should have been grateful they got even a morsel. #makeup

It is beyond frustrating for someone to enter a space just to tell everyone that their effort was meaningless and that they should try harder. That every decision and expenditure they have made up until now was "stupid" without having a single clue how hard it was to get to that position.

at least half of the transphobic and misogynistic lawfare happening worldwide being funded in part by xllenials who cannot let go of an ultimately mediocre fantasy work for kids that represents the complete disneylandification of britain & attendant middle class paranoias is something

Learning self worth isnt just a one time and "You got it". Still learning how to see reality even when my emotions are taking the center stage. This week is going to be tough..lunar eclipse is really bringing a lot to light. Self care is mandatory. Time to do the work. #innerwork #shadowwork

Continuing to learn I will learn people better from what they show me versus what they tell me. People who do not know themselves can mislead others down paths both parties will eventually regret. Honesty starts with you being honest with yourself.

I was just thinking about gender dynamics and how I couldn't tell this person's gender, but because I assumed they might be AFAB, I tried to give them space and didn't wanna get in their view of the TV. Then I heard their voice and immediately shifted how caring I was.

This is about survival and gaining stability to be able to start prioritizing my health, happiness and a road to receiving gender affirming care. We have raised $435 currently. If you are able to donate and/or reshare, I would be so grateful. ⤵️

Just saw a drag queen encouraging people to have sex frivolously because getting STIs is common and we shouldn't be shamed for them. "It's normal". You know what is not normal? Super gonherrea. Wear some damn protection and stop undoing all the hard work we have done by being uneducated.

There are many ways we can take action to help protect our community members from the constant dangers from ICE. Taking action in whatever way you can is better than doing nothing. 1. Bother your local politicians 2. Donate to Mutual Aid efforts 3. Boost & observe resources More information Below

Having a lot of innerwork is just the way it goes, but I'm always gonna wish I started some of this work sooner. Too bad we cannot change the past. Time to learn how to love the present.

We really have to stop wallowing and start taking our power back. We are already seeing people do it by force. Vote with your dollar; look for alternatives: find groups within your community. AND SPEAK! Use your platform. Use your voice. Change is happens regardless, help write its narrative.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht

My doctor told me I have gastritis so I'm having to change my whole diet. Kinda went ham buying supplements, but it's helping me learning how to manage my day to day everything. I miss streaming, but I have to get a steady regime so my mind can function. Slow and steady...

It's gross that this man is going around telling people that my spiritual practice I shared with them was sexual. Especially when I was half way across the country and there was no verbal or visual communication during the session. This gives people the wrong idea about my spiritual practices.

I have yet to pay off my insurance, water & phone bill. If I don’t pay off my insurance, I won’t be able to access my meds. Being able to get caught up on these bills allows me to hopefully not be in the negative come September 1. If you have the means to donate, I would really appreciate it. ⤵️
