We are getting actively fucked over by the government and they’re demanding so much in such little time

I’ll be opening extra slots but we need just a bit more time. Please spread the word if you can, thank you

YEP. It's extremely tough to see folks I knew as capable, clever, wildly talented individuals now just.....yeah.

I'm not used to places or folks that look at me like I'm super skilled cuz I don't use AI. It shouldn't be praise, it should be normal???

It doesn't just not teach, it effectively -unlearns- you, too. I've seen in real time the de-skilling AI does. It's a terrifying thing. Sure I've got job security and folks look at me like I'm a wizard for never using it.

But that's a terrifying fact in its own right. AI actively de-skills people.

I have now realized that both games I stream now are cat related. I am a cat streamer without being a cat.

Night in the Woods is live!

Shuball - Twitch Hi! I'm Shu! I do art, gaming, and a myriad of other things! Not all sure where this is gonna go but it's gonna go SOMEWHERE. This channel may be dedicated to gaming and art!

I'm alive! Work week ate me alive, but I'm still alive!

Doing a new game today - well, new for ME at least. Goin' live with Stray!

KIBBY HOURS

YES.
YES!!

If it's how you process stuff, that's fine - it's more just if there's something that we can do to help ya through it, we'd love to know, that's all!

Happy to assist like I said before, even if it's just talkin' you through it. I know I needed it at times, so just wanted to pay it forward if I can.

I guess my best question is:

When this occurs, is there anything we at large can do to assist in gettin' ya back on your feet mentally? I'd love to help where I'm able ;u;

Even if it's just talkin' through it, all that stuff. It's super rough! If we or I can help in any way, I'd love to!

On *my* timeline. I am so tired lmao.

But the point remains - There's only one -you- in this world, and I'm happy you're here and keeping on. WAY easier said than done to internalize it, but I'm sure me and many others would be happy to remind you as needed!

Hard disagree, you absolutely deserve to live. Be it to outlive those who desire to see you fall, and also because the world is better for having you in it. Your art, your perseverance, all of it is something I love to see on your timeline.

While I am some duder on the net, I maintain this as fact!

THE most fantastic news I've had today.

This is art. And if you need an exact look into my sense of humor this is it. RIGHT HERE.

I STILL DO! I can manage it perfectly fine, yes, but that does not mean there isn't a damn maelstrom a-sworlin' inside my cranium.

And folks who know how to reassure and just -communicate- with this in mind are a godssend ;u;

I may have to steal this because WE are also having Cane's for dinner tonight. These are amazing omg

Seriously. I've come to be so thankful for folks who are mad at me for when they just ask me to sit down and talk direct with them. It is *so much easier* for me to keep a level head and work through it when the other party is calm as well.

It's such a boon, and I pay it forward whenever able ;u;

Reposting this as someone who has had to live with this, had no idea it was a term, and who still has to battle it regularly.

For those of you who have provided metaphorical bridges for me in the past, and still do today - you have *no idea* how much it has helped me.

GODS DON'T I KNOW IT. I may be able to handle conflict but boy did it take some major 'experiences' to get there.

Like. We are all different, and we're running on electric meat in our skulls. How folks don't get that that means we're all VERY DIFFERENT baffles me.

Just as an overall, if there's any way someone on the outside like me can help, lemme know! Always happy to be a positive voice/angle where able ;u;

GOOD. And naw, everyone's different, I totally get you! I've been hurt enough times that I get pretty quick to guard-up, so to speak.

I'm sorry you got hurt, and I'm glad you've worked on moving past it! Like....if there's a silver lining, it's that we can better curate our circles and friends.

Gods, the walls I'd put up immediately at the 'why bother?'.

Friendship is maintained regularly - even for normal folk. It's just more visible for those of us with RSD. I love the bridge analogy because that's exactly what it is - They can set the bridge down every time to help us cross our ravine.

Threw $25 towards this! Heck yeah, NO ICE!

MANIFESTINGGGGGG

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

UH OH. STUFF HAPPENIN. More Night in the Woods!

Gregg is the fastest I've ever come to adore and relate to a character. I love him.

Happy Valentines day!

Ayyy folks, happy Super Candy Day! As the prior week has been super rough and a fam member is unwell (and I might have caught it), no stream today! Also going on a date with my wife and wanna get rest do I can....yknow, do that. LOL

Tomorrow will be NITW streams tho!

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

Also, one tip I've given to my folks who got outta that kinda fire is very much to give yourself time to feel emotions as more and more bullshit they've done in the past makes sense, but it's all different reactions for different folks.

Either way, thrilled for you and excited for your future!!!

I am so, *so* glad you're free of that mess. I live with two people (my wife and best friend) who came from very similar family types, one of which I personally detonated on that was wildly similar to this (my wife's ex-mom was HEINOUS).

I'm so glad you're outta there!

Also, the whole 'We are living beings, we can focus on more than one thing at the same time' statement is something I regularly remind myself of. Expressing joy in your own existence does not make you complicit in the atrocities of the world.

So take joy in your transitioning and any wins you get!
