We’ve been evicted for Christmas & I think this is a perfectly measured response all things considered 🔥🎄🔥

We have 5 days.

Support our mad dash to a hotel, a storage unit, and safe housing beyond that:

do you like our Christmas decorations
a large red sheet hangs like a sail over the front doorway of a suburban house. Messy, white, hand-painted lettering reads: "MOLD INSIDE - DO NOT RENT"

creators, lemme hold your face in my little goblin hands and tell you:

A "free" product that a brand wants you to promote in exchange for content is not free and it is not payment. That's asking YOU to make free marketing materials in exchange for a fraction of your supplies.
That's f*cked up 💚

New episode today! This episode might not stay up forever, but the consequences of staying silent are too high. Literally and figuratively.

Where do you go when you're turned away from the emergency room because "You're not Canadian" and you don't have $1,500?
The whole mess is on YouTube, tomorrow at 7pm EST.
Close-up illustration of two people sitting side by side in a car at night. The person on the left has long dark hair, a furrowed brow, and their mouth open mid-reaction, looking up and to the side. The person on the right wears orange-tinted aviator sunglasses and has a large medical bandage taped across their forehead, smiling slightly as they look ahead.

The next episode of our docu-series, The Last Threshold, is finally out on Monday 7pm EST! If you've wanted to help a couple of gays make it through an almost hilariously challenging time, but haven't known how, being in the chat for the premiere is a huge boost! This one's a whopper 🫠
Hand-drawn movie-style poster. On the left, Az and Lou walk through a forest trail beside a glowing green leaf with a strange sigil. The path is surrounded my small folded leaf envelopes. In the center, Lou looks shocked while a raccoon peers at him from scraps of garbage above. On the right, Az sits in a car outside an emergency room, wearing sunglasses and a bandage. A white mouse sits on Lou's shoulder.

Have I ever mentioned that I love the comments sections of my videos? Every now and then you say something that is like 3 years of rocket fuel for my spirit. This is your warning that I'm gonna start using them like review quotes on movie posters.
Illustrated scene of two people at a dimly lit table. A homemade cake with several lit candles glows between them. On the right, a person with dark, wavy hair smiles softly at the other. On the left, a blond person watches from beside a curtain. Behind them, a house is eerily lit with blue and purple lights. A YouTube comment quote at the top reads, "It filled me with so much HOPE watching this."

some details so you have the full grasp of how unhinged this is

Colored pencil lines and airbrushing show far more detail than a youtube thumbnail could ever feasibly warrant.

why SHOULDN’T I draw movie poster style illustrations for youtube thumbnails
A hand drawn movie poster style illustration showing Trystan and Lou inside car at night, a raccoon is above Lou’s left shoulder and underneath is a collage of the both of them in a park surrounded by leaves and small leaf envelopes. A large leaf with a stick through it like a sign has a strange symbol on it. There is a small white mouse on Lou’s right shoulder, and out the window is a neon-lit emergency room sign. Trystan wears sunglasses and a bandage on his head, and Lou screams while looking sideways at the raccoon.

I’ve realized!! If you care about medical justice and want to make a direct material difference in my case for totally free, here’s something quick that anyone can do:

Send a brief impact statement to [email protected]

For both general audiences and fellow creators.
For general audience & supporters: If you’ve followed my work and noticed the impact of this ordeal in any way, you can help me by giving firsthand accounts of that impact. A few lines like these are perfect: 1. How long you’ve followed me 2. What kind of work you saw before the injury (my TikToks, my streams, my YouTube videos, photos, written stories, even cameos) 3. What you noticed after February-March 2024 (my streams declining, projects falling through, posts disappearing, wondering where I went, etc.) 4. Anything you felt when I came back or realized what had happened It doesn’t have to be formal or long, just specific and honest. For creators & professionals: If you’re a creator, artist, or professional whose work depends on online visibility, you can send a short statement about what would happen to your income and visibility if you went through what I did; if you were sick, disfigured and couldn’t reliably appear on video/photos for a year or more. You can also mention what you’ve seen happen to others in that situation, or what you personally noticed when my posts disappeared. Things you can include: 1. What kind of work you do and where (e.g. Twitch, Etsy, YouTube, Instagram, freelance, etc.) 2. How long you’ve been doing it 3. How long breaks affect your reach or income 4. If relevant, what you observed with me or my content during that time- change in subject matter, projects falling through, declining posts, less responsiveness etc 5. End with your name, occupation, and the date (a typed signature is fine- letterhead is even better if you have it).

People talk a lot about critical thinking, but rarely how to practice it. This breaks down the process into buildable habits for each step: observe, communicate, analyze, infer, solve. Small habits make a stronger community and a stronger movement. Free to use. Save it to stay curious 🍃
Infographic showing five steps of critical thinking—observation, communication, analysis, inference, and problem solving. Each step includes small examples of what to do at that stage, illustrating critical thinking as a repeatable process that helps to understand new information and take action.

Clarity protects communities. Picking even 2-5 questions from this sheet before reacting to new information helps me not make a fool of myself online, 😅 Save it if you want to train your critical thinking skills as well. Free to use. Save it to stay curious.
Colorful chart of WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW questions to practice critical thinking and evaluate new information. The design resembles a classroom reference sheet, encouraging curiosity and careful analysis. Full readable PDFs available in the link on the first comment.

Weirdly, a capitalism escape plan inspired by theme parks might be exactly what the doctor ordered.

I started documenting what's happening to my partner and I to prove that it gets better. But if enough of us fight for the communities we deserve, who knows!! We may not even need an apocalypse!
A stone arch doorway glows with purple and orange light. The wooden door has iron bands and a diamond-shaped window with a glowing floral pattern at its center. Overlaid at the bottom is a YouTube comment reading: “@ClaudiaDCD: ‘Capitalist escape plan’ is so real and so succinct. Feel like that’s the rallying cry for so many people. Definitely what I needed to hear.”

No worries! It’s actually aaaall the way at the bottom of the post under “attachments” 😅 so thanks for catching that, I’ll add a note to the top asap.

So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.
Infographic on spotting self-sabotage in communities. Three signs: 1) Dilutes the Purpose – off-topic nitpicking; 2) Replaces Curiosity with Caution – fear or futility messaging; 3) Drains Morale – leaves people discouraged. Passing comments add clarity, use curiosity not fear, and leave participants stronger. Infographic on countering sabotage. C Concrete facts- verify; O Orient to purpose; M Mind morale; P Protect the point; A Acknowledge don’t accuse; S Steer to solutions. Each step pairs with research showing how clarity, purpose, empathy, and small actions restore cooperation.

We find the fun wherever we go, but hopefully my next birthday won't be spent trapped in a slumlord's moldy rental. 🙃 In 2 hours, our road to a castle in a housing crisis continues! Episode 3 premieres on ▶️ Ye Olde Tube at 6:30pm EST. Come hang out and fight landlords with me.
