Not to beat a dead horse but Ci's back on Twitch in case anybody wants to ban/block him preemptively. I was looking at my blocked users on Steam and saw he'd changed his name to his new Twitch url. I wouldn't make a fuss, just block/ban and move on.

Hey y’all it’s the end of August and as we get closer to horror month please remember to not shorter spooky by removing the y because it’s a slur. Also maybe even consider using a different word as we have plenty others.

Happy 1st of Halloween! 🎃👻

Heres ya reminder to not use the term "Sp***y" if youre not Black! 🐻🔪

It has a Racist History & there's lots of good replacements {my fave is Cweepy 🤭} so expand ya lexicon! 🥰

Info: www.npr.org/sections/cod...

Shit's also not allowed in my spaces if you're Non-Black. 💖

In most horror spaces online the word “Sp**ky” is frequently used HOWEVER, NON-BLACK folk are prohibited from using it in this community!

Although it is commonly used as a silly way to describe horror / creepy content - the word “Sp**ky” has racist history in Northern America.

For more info on the racist history click this graphic!

As a half cutesy & half horror channel - we push back on this & ask you to expand your literary horizons! = !cweepy”

This panel links to an article from NPR code switch about the racist history of the word “Sp**ky” in Northern America!

So, a few weeks ago I saw someone say the word "habibibaboo" on a Bsky post... {linked below}.

I sent a screenshot of that thread to my lovely friend River who sent me a mock up of an Arab Labubu bc he said it sounded like the word for one & well...

#OC #digitalart #arab #labubu #silly {1/3}

An illustration of a floating light brown Labubu wearing a white Thobe, black shoes, a red & white checkered Ghutra, & an agal.

The Labubu, also lovingly known as, The Habibaboo to Jazz, is against a blue background.

Theres minimal cell shading in a grey colour, as this is a simple piece.

Shading was a dick but I think I understand it a bit better {?} & tbh I love the end result! 🥰📺🪬

I also want to say that I love horror mixed with nostalgia, and Knights of Guinevere does that perfectly. I'm eager for the next episode.

Reminder: its not a good idea to equate a person's physical appearance with their morality. That's how we get concepts like 'the undeserving poor'. Don't do it, even with people you don't like. I'm seeing it on this timeline far to often, and it *will* come round to bite you.

2025 seems to be the year of trying to make friends with people only for a handful to keep turning out to be shitty.

Giving me real big flashbacks to Mx lies to my friends for fun back in 2024 and I'm starting to get real sick of it.

as a general rule you should always, always, always ask for proof / screenshots / more info from others in hearsay situations. if someone has truly caused harm & is someone that should be avoided, the unquestionable proof will always come out eventually. don't believe everything you hear.

pls how do i get rid of this EXTRA notif thing on my Discord??? 😭

It just gives an extra notification to look at when a server posts... WHILE the server also still shows the notif on itself too??

This just overwhelmed the shit out of me showing i had DOZENS of notifs when it was just servers 😭

A screenshot of Jazz's Discord notification sidebar, showing a new icon. The new icon is a bell that notifies when you have a notification.

Jazz circled it and drew a question mark and a sad face too bc wtf man.
