We had to raise the goal from $2,000 to $3,000 2 days ago and we're already ANOTHER $300 up!

I'm sitting here trying to figure out where it will stop, @gunpaladin.vtubers.social has to keep adjusting the goal, and @politichu.bsky.social is at risk of their joke no longer being a joke LOL

I'm Creation, your local personification of the void. I've got multiple forms and despite existing in nothingness, I find it fun to interact with creations and occasionally blending in with them

I commissioned @aria-chrysanthe.bsky.social for a chibi version of my PNG to for my reactive on other people's stream. It came out so cute, you should check out Aria's vgen if you're interested in commissioning her.

I got to mess around with a drawing tablet since Cabbage just upgraded theirs, so I doodled Squire Cheddar, which is what I named my streamerbot 😭 One day I'll get a proper commission of him.

Holy heck we've hit our original goal in three days. I'm really happy to be working with everyone to raise money for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. We've raised the goal and we have a great fundraiser ahead of us. Thank you to everyone who's donated + the streamers involved. 1/

Lethal Conpany AND Hearts of Iron 4 BOTH have Pokemon-related mods....

The chaos I can do with these and torture I can bring onto myself as I fundraise will be AMAZING

The real question is who else I can drag into these things

Hehehehe...

We are proud to announce a campaign that will unite those who want to help.

Pokemon for Palestine is an effort between numerous content creators to fundraise for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund! With a goal of $1,000 USD to fundraise over the next two months!

Pokémon for Palestine

What’s going on?

Gaza has been experiencing a genocide at the hands of Israel for many decades, however an escalation on Oct. 7th 2023 put the lives of all Palestinians in danger.
Gaza is about to experience its third winter without sufficient shelter, bringing cold and rainy weather. This also means a harsh winter without medical supplies and aid for the children of Palestine.

Figured I'd share this here too. Mehdi Hasan's original tweet was discussing the normalization of "the most vicious and blatant Islamophobia" (his words, not mine, but VERY accurate). His tweet is linked below

The way some people draw the line there and not at them trying to push a movie with a character from a genocidal state or at them casting an actress who is unapologetically genocidal shows the true "humanity" some people claim to have but ultimately lack...

The apparent success of the boycott in defence of an incredibly wealthy white man, who has an extensive resources, cannot be where y’all put down your pitchforks. Take the win, turn the momentum to the defence of Mahmoud Khalil. Free speech, right?

And yes while what Rick Riordan said was nice, it doesn't change the fact that he's a Zionist.

So fuck him and J.K Rowling.

A statement made by Rick Riordan in his blog: So yes, I am appalled by the Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians. I am appalled by the sufferings of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Both things can be true. Both things must be true. My thoughts are with all the people who have died, who have lost their loved ones, who have had their worlds and their lives shattered, especially the children. More death and violence will not break this cycle, which has been going on for generations. There is no military solution. Ever since I first wrote the list, only twenty-hours ago, the Israeli government's brutal retaliation against the entire population of Gaza has reached genocidal proportions. This is not only an atrocity. It is folly. Answering misery with misery only creates more fertile ground for extremism, dehumanizing the "other side", letting hate mongers thrive, stay in power, and reduce us all to our monstrous impulses. The only real solution is treating each other like equally worthy beings and negotiating a peace that allows all parties a chance to live in security and dignity, with hopes for a future that does not include bombs and rockets and gunfire. This means security and support for Israel, yes. It also means a secure Palestine which is allowed to get the international aid and recognition it needs to build a viable state.

So with that said, I return to the world of books...

Urdu Funny Dark humor

When discussing someone who was on a vent for life support, my dad asked "Woh faraak ho gai hai?"

That roughly translates to "Has he been freed?"

HE DIDN'T MEAN FREED AS IN RECOVERED, HE MEANT FREED AS IN THEY PULLED THE PLUG 💀💀💀

The drastic increase of Islamophobic content I've been seeing across not just one platform, but MULTIPLE platforms I consume content on over this last week has been truly staggering...

We really are going back to the post-9/11 fear mongering and hatred aren't we?

I just finished my Pokemon Conquest stream where the AI has now begun to infuriate me LOL, what's in store tomorrow who knows?

A big shout out to @politichu.bsky.social for the raid today! It really caught me off guard and I'm excited for what's upcoming with them!!!

After 2 hours and 172 rounds, both I and @gunpaladin.vtubers.social had wifi disconnects and making the game go at a rate of less than 30 frames a minute (aka <0.5 FPS)

It was glorious to see it slowly struggle and figure out how to make it WORSE mwahahahaha
