Hi loves. This is important. I understand the sentiment & importance of cancelling subs on Twitch. Voting with your wallet Many of my friends are full-time streamers & that is their only source of income. Please consider moving support to other platforms like ko-fi. This could ruin lives.

It'll be a month since a friend and I went different ways. It's more along the lines that they left in a way. It still stings a bit and I sincerely doubt that they're going to do the right things. It's possible that I may be better off without them, but the sting has not completely disappeared.

The stream schedule will be posted after work. There will be some uncertainty Wednesday and Thursday due to the wildfire smoke conditions and hot temperatures, so that could have a major impact on the streaming schedule. Definitely no stream tonight right now. Catch you guys later.

I'm going to take the night off from streaming. I'm not feeling up to it. I am also questioning whether I should continue doing the charity streams on all streams or do fewer of them. With the reach I have, I feel like I'm underperforming. Thanks to those who have given or at least spread the word.

Today's stream plans will change, and I'll probably stream at 9-10 pm (21:00-22:00) PDT. I might end up doing more of a chat about current conditions later, so if this makes you uncomfortable, heads up. I'll let you know if I change my mind.
