Due to some circumstances out of our control that complicate things, we're not going to be able to make it to TwitchCon anymore, but I hope everyone has the BEST time celebrating 10 years, and I can't wait to see everyone's photos and videos! 💜

I'll miss everyone 😭

Healthcare should be a basic human right.

People shouldn’t have to fear bankruptcy for needing the ER.

They shouldn’t end up homeless because they became ill.

They shouldn’t have to “prove they matter” to get Medicaid.

For profit medicine is cruel & punitive.

Universal healthcare saves lives

I have to get better about not doomscrolling, but part of me feels like the least I can do is stay informed and be vocal about *waves hands*

I know it's okay to take breaks but I feel so much guilt, and I wish there was more I could do.

*sigh* anyway, I'm overehelmed and needed to vent. Sorry. ❤️

I know I'm not alone in this, and understand that in the scheme of things, this feeling is such a minor issue. I'm just looking for advice on how to stop letting it take over my brain.

We are living in unprecedented times, through world events we could never have been prepared for. It's so heavy.

Sorry for the rant, but literally how tf do we carry on every single day when the world is on fire, there's an ongoing genocide, people are dying, and we feel so powerless?

How do we plan a wedding, how do we take a trip, how do we work every day, and just... move along? How???

I'm so sad, y'all.

The world is SO small.

When I was 20, my best friend passed away. He was only 20 too. His dad moved away a couple years later, and we lost touch. But my mom is on a trip on the other side of the world, and she sent me this message. 😭

I wish I could tell him.

My mom's text reads:

Jamie, you won't believe this but Tyler's dad is on this ship?! Him and his wife. Our friends saw him by the pool so we talked for a bit. Tyler looked just like him... made me sad

i'm out to lunch right now, and at the end of the bar here, a man is flirting with the two lady bartenders by using chatGPT to come up with nice things to say about them in an effort to show them how it works and flex his chatGPT skills

we're absolutely fucking cooked, chat

I completely understand this feeling. I feel when folks share their lives in that way (especially as a chronically ill person myself) it creates a sense of community, and that's what we are all so desperately craving.

I'm not sure if one of them is Zuza, but that loss really hit and hurt. 💔

I don't want to stop being informed. I don't want to just scroll past things that make me uncomfortable. I don't want to ignore what's happening around me. It is a privilege to do so, and one I don't want to have.

I will be damned if the world takes my empathy from me.

I just want to say it's okay if it's difficult to function right now.

Staying informed and taking in all that's happening, all who are suffering around the world; it hurts, it's infuriating, and it feels impossible sometimes to just keep going like every day is normal.

We aren't built for this.
