If you'd like to commission me, but don't want to use Fiverr, or would rather not donate through GoFundMe, I also have a Ko-Fi page.

ko-fi.com/zeerathezesty

Again, I hate to plug things and self promote like this, but it's pretty desperate for me right now.

Hello everyone. I hate having to talk about this, but I haven't been doing well financially lately. I likely won't be able to pay rent next month. I started a GoFundMe in August, and it's still up now, but things are dire for me by the end of this month

Sorry Voidgazers, I'm not feeling too well today, and I'm going to have to cancel today's stream. Might still try to stream tomorrow at 2PM though.

Stay zesty!

Sorry Voidgazers, my current computer desk chair is too unstable and nearly broken to be safe to sit on anymore, and I'm currently too broke to afford a new one (and rent is more important to pay regardless), so I'll need to go on haitus for a while. Hopefully I get to see you all again soon!

Hey Voidgazers! I'll be streaming in about an hour at 6PM EST! We'll be playing some modded Minecraft, but not the usual pack. I've got something more...dangerous in mind. If that sounds like your cup of tea, I hope to see you then! Stay zesty!

United we stand, divided we fall.

Political cartoon showing a line of dominos. The first one is labeled Trans Rights and has a blue-pink-white trans flag painted on it and is tilting. Three people (representing a trans man, trans woman, and person wearing rainbow colors) are pushing back to keep it from falling. Behind it the second domino is labeled "Gay Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" and has a couple, one member of who is pulling the other from behind the domino and walking towards the first domino. The 3rd one "Women's Rights" and "Free Love", a woman is pointing and shouting to rally others behind the domino to come forwards, the 4th one " Free Speech" and "Democracy" and has people peering out from behind it as well as two people running forwards with a piece of lumber, the 5th one "Freedom of Religion" and "Modernity", and has a few people nervously peeking out from behind it, the 6th one is "Literacy". Dominos 7-10 are unlabeled and faded out in the background.

Text on bottom: "United we stand, Divided we fall"

Yes you read that right: There’s a queer exception to Meta’s restrictions on attacks on people, specifically: 🧵

Oh! I should probably announce that I'll be streaming #SonicXShadowGenerations on Twitch tonight at 6PM EST! If watching me play through the game for the first time (well, okay, I've played the original, but still) sounds like your cup of tea, I'd love to see you there!

Hey, Voidgazers! Trying to decide on an update to my Vtuber avatar by adding a hair fade, and figured I should ask y'all which one you prefer. The green fade, the mixed fade, or the red fade? (I'd make this a poll, but I don't think those exist on Bluesky yet...)

Yesterday, 37 Democratic Senators voted to pass the anti-trans NDAA.

Those same Dems refused to allow Senator Baldwin to advance an amendment to remove anti-trans provisions from the bill.

EITM has released an easy to read list of Senators who voted for it.

Remember the nazi bar story. You must apply this to transphobes too, or this will become a transphobe site... and probably a nazi site at the same time, there is a fair bit of overlap.

Do not let them in. Do not let them be comfortable. They will take over if given chance to root.

The game dev known as Cavemanon are horrendously bigoted.

Do not support Snoot game, or "I wani hug that gator"

Snoot Game takes an enby character from another game they have no affiliation with then makes their games "good endings" converting said character to be a cis tradwife

🐺 Wolf Nanaki 🏳️‍⚧️ @wolfnanaki.bsky.social · Jun 27

I literally got doxed for calling Snoot Game anti-trans, and now here are the developers themselves gladly boasting that it is, in fact, anti-trans, on their new blog that launched today.
"Grooming operations." What the fuck.

“First, and personally my favorite example, is from Snoot Game. In Snoot Game, several important points were made. In a society infected with rot that deconstructs everything someone needs to properly develop – including family values, friendship values, heritage, religion, and even the concept of love itself, it offers the youth very few options while pretending the world is theirs. It’s a horrible situation where now the rot of modern living has infected every aspect of identity, and developmental phases teenagers go through are categorized by and associated with political movements. Specifically, in Snoot Game it’s discussed how even the mere act of changing your mind once you’ve started identifying with these movements is tantamount to betrayal, and you will be treated like garbage and swept under the rug for daring to go against the grain. In real life, the tragedies go further between massive grooming operations, stalking, and the like.”
