Hi!
[We, you and I, sit in a dark room with overhead lighting from a single lamp. There is an old oak desk between us. My hands are folded in front of my slightly turned face.]
Me: So... (Reaches into pocket and slides you a $20 over the table) let's become friends and talk about our issues and relentlessly support each other through everything. Or, (reaches into pocket and pulls out a number of queer flag stickers, flipping them between fingers) should I sweeten the deal?
*wakes up*
WHERE AM I? WHO ARE YOU? ... OH oh I remember.
I'm still alive! Mostly through the streaming world, but alive nonetheless! Went through a gambit of doctor visits (so fun!); turns out I have ADHD and fibromyalgia (very much fun!). Also, my phone just decided to give me all the notifications I missed from here, so hopefully I'll be on more now.
In celebration of achieving 200 followers on Twitch, I'll be holding a giveaway raffle for a custom flat color chibi during my stream on Tuesday, Dec. 1st, 2020

cw: racism, police brutality, mh (- w/ some +)
So the #BLM fundraiser I'm doing on the 7th, I've been trying to promote while making memorial social media posts of people who died from police overreach or systemic racism in general. In searching for them I got so unnerved and depressed that I couldn't continue, so then I got a volunteer team to hand it off to but I had to keep writing personal reflection blurbs for them, and that was somehow even worse. All that plus the charity stream (that I'm really worried will fail) and just America currently and general life, I have not been well. No longer crying my eyes out like I was all weekend, and I dumped the blurbs because just... too much, but I'm worried I will still be unable to sleep till sunrise.

Would have just uploaded the poster as a pic so I could add alt text, but for some reason Fedilab won't let me. 😒

Link to the fundraiser page and poster download because my brain is still in promo mode even at 2 in the morning:

upcoming charity stream of mine (cw racism, police brutality, tiredness)
Most of what I've been doing lately has been streaming, and probably since August I really wanted to do a #BLM fundraiser since I actually have a platform now. So the past month or so I've been pouring pretty much everything I am into Nov. 7. I'm having a 12-hour stream called "it's a VIBE (Virtual Initiative for Black Equality)" and everything has been prep for that. Making visual promo materials, social media pages, contacting folks, finding people to guest star in stream (which I still actually need. 🙃). I am so so tired and, tbh, a bit shaken from all the research I've had to do. But I'm really hoping it works out.

chronic pain, medical annoyances, money, adhd mention
Over this past month I've been trying to chronicle the pain that I feel every day because I keep having these big bad days with weird unexplained happenings and I feel like I keep getting brushed off by doctors. So, started documenting, have been mostly consistent but weekends are hard, and crimidy I'm in pain a lot. Like, more than I realized because my base reaction is to ignore it, or I let it pass and forget it completely (yay ADHD). But it's like I can't deny it now? And seeing how often I have these pains are freaking me out? Especially since I'm poor and I worry Medicaid is gonna lead CPs to dismiss me? 🙃
Money is the fucking worst. 🙃🙃🙃
So it's the anniversary of my shrieking arrival into this hellworld today
I'm not asking for anything, but I know some people like to give on occasions like this and I won't turn down generosity cuz existence is expensive
