Sex work is real work. OnlyFans banning sexually explicit content after benefiting from it/their platform growing because of it is gross, horrible, unacceptable.
Support sex workers.
Caleb and Essekโs stories, both as individuals and together, spoke to me throughout C2.
Many of their interactions had pieces of wisdom that helped me. So I got a tattoo to honor them and all the healing they brought me.
Thank you,
@matthewmercer
and
@VoiceOfOBrien
for them.
TTRPG people, please, Iโm begging you to stop being condescending towards people who canโt hire professionals to do things for them. Some of us know we have important stories to tell & want to do what makes us happy, but financially MUST make do with what we can do ourselves. ๐ญ
Hey TTRPG pals, Iโm going to start GMโing for the first time ever. What are some of the tips youโd like to share? ๐ฅบ I am just curious to see what others would like to share with a new GM. (Be nice.)
if you're going to conventions PLEASE PLEASE WEAR A MASK!!!
I almost died from coronavirus in January, with no prior health issues. This stuff is SERIOUS and still a major issue! Conventions are super spreader events.
BE CAREFUL! For yourself and everyone else's sake.
Hey, if youโre interested in being a PLAYER on a Twitch STREAMED Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign, wanna drop a lil reply here?
Prioritizing queer, disabled, and BIPOC players, always. ๐โจ
Financial compensation included; WIP. Might be via tips earned from stream
The main character of the last tv show/movie you watched is now your D&D characterโwho is it and what class would they be?

@WhatTheADHD
What's that ADHD thing where I can't do anything if I have an important meeting/call/event later in the day? I'm frozen in my seat and cannot function until it happens.

during his "Note to Self" book tour. I got to tell him his book saved my life & that I was also 24, having gone through a bad break up. He said "you'll be stronger because of it and also, fuck that guy" and gave me the best hug.
Hey,
@quiddie
I'm still shaken and blown away by "are you worth saving?" and will be thinking about that brilliant moment for the rest of my life probably.
You summed up a key theme of the whole campaign (whole WORLD tbh) in one question.
#CriticalRoleSpoilers
Hey TTRPG world, if you were a NPC in a campaign, what would you be? Romanceable? Clue giver? Secret enemy spy? Shop owner?
Let me know who and why! ๐
When you find out someone is an abuser it is in fact often shocking because abusers are usually very good at hiding their true nature.
But focus your energy on supporting and believing victims. Thatโs where the energy needs to go. ๐
Hey besties, I have an announcement to make that I have been terrified to do. I thought I couldnโt be non-binary bc I loved being femme. That I didnโt meet the โrequirementsโ but more on that some other time.
Letโs celebrate for now.
Hey Iโm Kristin & my pronouns are she/they.
deleting my dating apps because i want to meet someone the old fashioned way (they open a big corporate bookstore around the corner and threaten to put my small local shop out of business)
@jameelajamil
you have zero right or footing to tell trans people how to clearly state their identity or pronouns. if you want to reply to someone or call them out or whatever, the least you can do to respect their pronouns is click on the profile you're about to tweet at or subtweet.
tw - suicide
For the last few months I genuinely contemplated not being here anymore. Life felt too difficult.
But now Iโm living in LA with one of my closest friends and I have a new job that I love and have successfully completed my first week!
Hold onto your hope. ๐ฉท
If you are entering into a TTRPG project with people you do not know well, one of the first things you simply MUST do is learn & honor their pronouns. For example, if someone's pronouns are he/they or she/they, do NOT just focus on 'he' or 'she'.
This is BASIC courtesy, y'all.
Yes, it is unfortunate to fans that actors will be cancelling convention appearances like SDCC due to the strike. However, it is unjust, predatory, and wrong the way writers are being treated. The strike is meant to disrupt. I'm glad it will disrupt SDCC.

@negaoryx
either goes viral for crying over a rabbit or giving a misogynistic troll a powerful lesson. And both are epic (albeit the latter has REALLY important lessons attached.) โจ
if a streamer who has been exposed for harmful behavior is using therapy and therapy speak as a shield you should steer clear from them tbh. itโs a common abuse tactic and it makes me sick seeing them pander & not stepping the fuck away from public spaces like they should.
tw - grooming, vile adults, etc
Colleen Ballinger is a predator and itโs disgusting that she had the audacity to upload a vlog after all this time of not doing anything to make right all the harm sheโs caused.
Every single content production channel/team trying to switch to the Dropout model (especially w/ nowhere near as much content) seems to forget one thing: their audiences, more than ever, cannot afford dozens of subscriptions. It feels very out of touch with our economic reality.
tw // pet health, pet death
I will not be able to post this tomorrow. So, Iโm doing it tonight. Tomorrow evening we will be peacefully laying Maya to rest. She has gotten progressively sicker incredibly quickly.
Itโs unfair and Iโm angry and Iโm sad. I just want the universe
In honor of
#BiVisibilityDay
Iโm making a quick little thread of some bisexual creators that deserve your support! This is by no means a comprehensive list, but just a few people who have made an impact on my life and that I care about!
Hey
#DnD
&
#TTRPG
friends, do you know of anyone I could commission to create an overlay for Twitch? I'm looking to have a couple of TTRPG overlays made. Drop any recommendations below, including yourself!
texted bestie about wanting a d&d campaign and not even 30 minutes later we had 7 players, a discord channel, and classes being picked. ๐ I love my friends.
tw / death
my aunt just passed away. i was supposed to visit her in an hour. idk when i'll be back around here. tell the people you love that you love them. don't wait.
I DO NOT CARE what your reasons are: if you feel compelled to speak over or discredit a Black personโs lived experience and their feelings & thoughts about how a video gameโs racism impacts them: stop. Donโt. And examine your racism & racist behaviors. โ๐ป
Quite frankly folks, if you have the courage to post that TTRPG collab meme, I applaud you. I donโt have it in me, because the thought of no replies or anything truly makes me anxious. But I love yโall. Iโm rooting for you and I hope we get to collab together. ๐โจ
Tw // death grief
Things that are peak my grandpaโs energy. Heโs expected to die soon. So I took these photos when visiting him at home. These are all images that have existed in my mind me entire life and are tied to my grandpaโs essence.
Hey yโall keep my corgi in your thoughts. Iโm in Colorado, but sheโs home with my mom in CA and had to be taken to the vet for an emergency. ๐ This is really hard for me to not be with her right now.
Hi, I am not doing well. I suck at admitting that. Instead I brush it off or avoid conversation altogether so I donโt have to discuss how Iโm doing.
So anyway, Iโm doing pretty terribly, actually. Iโll get into why later. For now Iโm going to attempt to sleep.
Hey friends, I realize I havenโt announced it officially, but as Iโve paid my first month of rent, I think itโs time I let yโall know Iโm moving to Los Angeles. ๐
Finally on my way to the city of my dreams to live with one of my best pals.
Job hunting in the area now, too. โจ
Shout out to the best hosts and friends a person could ask for. These two radiate pure kindness and are made of love. Iโm so grateful for all they do for me and their support. ๐โจ get friends like them
Today
@blizzb3ar
mentioned to someone in chat that before starting streaming itโs important to have a โwhyโ you want to stream. So, I thought about mine and itโs wanting to connect deeper with people who share the same interests as me. Iโve always felt out of place where I live,
Y'all need to do better with defending a Black creator who is being harassed for speaking on fantasy racism and their experience. Support Lys, report the community note on the original tweet (linked below) and report the racists treating them terribly.
Hannibal is a modern television masterpiece. And it ended far too soon. Every part of that show was executed brilliantly and I am still in awe of it. My dream was, and still is, to be in that writer's room.
#HannibalDeservesMore
I don't want to talk about it in-depth & I do not even have full answers, but Maya, my sweet corgi and best friend, is very sick with cancer. I am not sure how long she has, but I will put her to rest when it is right & not let her suffer needlessly. I love her too much for that
In case no one has told you recently, you donโt have to do it all at once. You donโt have to speed run your dreams. Because you deserve to rest. You deserve to go at a pace that healthy for your mind, body, and spirit.
Breathe. Youโre going to do those great things. You are!
Sorry but I only find stories compelling when human beings write and create them.
Big L here.
And you wonder why layoffs are happening so massively in the gaming industry?
Yeah fuck this. Booooo Xbox.
