iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm even beginning to quash the guilt for doing something for myself! And also baffled that my whole life I've felt like I'm being selfish if I do something to look after myself because it *might* mildly inconvenience someone else (it also might not, but try telling my brain that 😅)

I know this could just be another "good" week, and I haven't fixed everything. But I'm so hopeful that the steps I'm taking now are going to keep building habits that will not only help me make better content, but more importantly be a happier, healthier person who isn't constantly overextending.

It's been really nice having that little sense of yearning like, damn I wish I was streaming today! I have to wait til Tuesday??? But then I get excited about the rest and fun I'm going to have, and the other projects I'm going to work on, and that's something I haven't felt in SO long.

It has honestly been so good for me. Ending streams before my ADHD meds wear off and my concentration/energy is depleted has been SO helpful. Learning that having a good energy day doesn't mean I should immediately spend it all, and can and SHOULD reserve some just for me has been life changing.

A few weeks ago I realised I was rapidly approaching burnout. Not with streaming, with life and being neurodivergent etc. The way I have always done things has clearly been pushing me beyond my limits. I came back to streams with a reduced schedule, terrified I'd lose what I've worked for.

Streamers: if you have opted out of Twitch's genAI training policy, please consider adding the 'aiOptedOut' tag to your streams. It will help easily indicate safe spaces to myself, and other streamers/viewers who don't want to spend time in or raid into spaces that haven't opted out 💜 #twitch #genai

Tripped over my own feet running to turn this shit off. Opt-out rather than opt-in is gross. 🤢

Signal boosting this. To be clear, we don't know whether this IS happening, and we don't know any of the details, but I think it's still valuable to upvote this Uservoice and provide feedback about not wanting AI being trained on our content. I do not want to see this happening on Twitch.

Finally did a MASSIVE doom task that has been hanging over me since literally a year ago when some Bad Things™ happened and I kinda went into survival mode and my executive functioning just fell off a cliff. It's a tiny step, but at least it's in the right direction.

I've been trying to go on nature walks the last few days, but today the tranquility was destroyed by me saying good morning to a man walking his dog at 2:30pm. Maybe I'm just letting him bank that one til tomorrow. 🫠

So sad to find out that @belghast.com has passed away. I met him many years ago through blogging, and he was always a kind and supportive force in the wider gaming community. I met many lovely folks and long-time friends because of Blaugust. Thinking of all of you. 💜 Fuck cancer.

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

First day of my week off, and I fell asleep early last night and woke up without an alarm at 7am so I went for an early morning walk in the woods and got coffee and breakfast and it feels good. ☺️ My ADHD is convinced I'll definitely do this every morning but let's not get ahead of ourselves. 🥲

Past me booked a full body de-stress massage for myself then forgot all about it. Present me is very grateful for the pleasant surprise when I remembered about it last night, and I am now composed entirely of jelly.

(Warning, these books are genuinely terrifying so read with caution! They're non-fiction but written like thrillers and may have somewhat sensationalised descriptions of the viruses but still fascinating and definitely changed the way I think about infectious agents.)

This biohazard interest sparked from reading a TIL on Reddit about Kitum Cave and how elephants scratch the surface to "mine" salt, and how two people who entered the cave died of a mysterious illness in the 80s. Which then got me reading The Hot Zone (and now Crisis in the Red Zone)!

I get so hooked by mysteries, I think that's why I enjoy reading about/watching unsolved mysteries and true crime, but that has now evolved into really enjoying reading about the people trying to figure out solutions to things like lethal viruses. It all ignites the same curiosity in me!

I keep thinking my special interests as an adult make no sense. Socially acceptable: skincare! A bit weird, actually: level 4 biohazards Then I remember my special interests as a child were horses and crime scene forensics. Yup, that tracks.

Hey so, I think social media is super dangerous in its current state and I agree that kids shouldn't be on it unsupervised. Harvesting IDs to "verify age" in order to access social media is not the solution and is a massive invasion of privacy.

Nothing quite as affirming as going to a queer event after a week filled with hate. 💜

Signal boosting this again today. 💜 Whilst unrest has calmed overnight, there are still many people being intimidated or forced out of their homes. I'll look for other fundraisers or ways to help later and share here!

100% this. I can only imagine how scared people are. It's absolutely vile. 😔

I'm so sorry Clo, hope you're both safe! We're okay where we are for now but I was a bit nervous heading to an appointment this morning. Absolutely shocking.

Anaka Women's Collective is a grassroots organisation in Belfast, currently working to support families impacted by the violence in Belfast and NI over the last 48 hours. The knife attack on Monday night was awful, but I wholeheartedly condemn the violence and racist rhetoric that has followed.

Support people and groups impacted by racist attacks

What's happening in Belfast and the rest of NI at the moment is absolutely horrific. If you can, please consider donating to a fund to help people affected by the racist violence. Your donation goes towards emergency accommodation and transport. 💜 Reposts appreciated! chuffed.org/project/1854...

We are raising funds to support people who have been attacked, displaced and traumatised in racist attacks in Belfast.

As an aside, if you don't know what happened, be careful if you look at news or various social media outlets. There are uncensored videos out there of a very violent attack on a man who is currently in critical condition. I have not watched the video but I have been sent it far too many times.

0120

Also very telling that none of them have had a SINGLE thing to say about the many women murdered over the last few years, because that doesn't fit their little narrative. I'm so angry.

1120

Genuinely I'm actually livid about this. Last night something horrific happened in Northern Ireland and seeing the usual suspects come out in force to push their agenda is absolutely disgusting.
