Twitch Twitch is the world

I know I haven't done a stream or even posted in a WHILE, but we're out here playing our FIRST playthrough of #BG3 so come watch! #BaldursGate3 twitch.tv/pastelnyx

USAID informed employees via email that it is terminating 2,000 workers and placing thousands of foreign service officers and other direct hires worldwide on paid leave, effective tonight.

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

It's been a while 😆 I got sick over the holidays and have only just gotten over it completely, so I haven't been doing makeup since I didn't want to risk contamination... Anyways, purple again? Who would've thought? #makeup #darkandmoody

*ETA when I say "my weekends" I specifically mean the days off I requested to have, not the other two extra days they're currently not scheduling me for.

I'm just really stressed right now, and I wish that I could figure something out so that I could get past all this and thrive. I've just tried so many things, been to so many interviews only to be denied, I've struggled so hard for so long, so why does it feel like I'm constantly being punished?

Now I'm thinking it's all a fever dream, and I'll have to give up on that idea. And it hurts, because the one place I'd have liked to go, so that I may see my partner, I might not even see by the end of next year either. And it makes me think I'm not good enough for him, even if he says otherwise. 🧵

I'm still going to keep trying to see what I can do, hope for the best, and maybe down the line, I'll get lucky. I just want things to work out for me for once in my life. I wanted to save up to travel next year. My hours I got last year during this time of year would have been BIG for me. 🧵

As someone without a degree (and even if I had one, I'd only be in debt bc I've got friends with degrees and no jobs in their field), jobs are slim to none. I've looked at least twice a week for a new job, hoping something that fits my requirements will pop up. Things look bleak, my friends 🧵

Doing the math out, I won't even have a net of $10K for this year, even after taking extra shifts when I could, which included days I usually need to have off (my weekends are Tuesdays and Wednesdays bc appointments are easier to schedule that way). 🧵

Meanwhile, I've seen new "seasonal" hires. So why am I not getting those hours? Simple, either my boss dislikes me for some unknown reason, or the company is specifically asking her to cut the hours of anyone making over minimum wage. (My 14 cent raise for a of year work is insulting) 🧵

I just realized something that's made existence reaaaally frustrating for me. Right now, I'm working 12 hours a week. During the "off-season" I had 8 hours a week. Last year around the same time (holiday season) I was making 26 hours a week. Yet this year, I don't get HALF those hours. 🧵

naps with a weighted blanket hit different

Yeah, I pretty much gave up on TikTok bc the algorithm is so skewed. Sometimes I'll get a couple hundred views, others none at all. My lowest current is 19 views, *views*, my highest is 1977. Idk what the difference is at all.

Thanks Spotify Wrapped for showing me just how big of an Arcane nerd I am, lmaoooo 🤣

Broaden your horizons… you won't regret it.

It's Black Friday, so of course I put on makeup to not look tired from yesterday, while people argue with our staff about what is and is not on sale. Wish me luck 🤣

"What do we want?"

"Autocorrect to stop making us look stupid by changing simple words in our texts."

"When do we want it?"

"Not!"

Don't usually use gold or purple in my makeup looks, but this didn't turn out so bad? I did try a gold lip at first, but a friend's advice led me to change it.

Mine were, in order, "happiness", then "dead"

Yeah, that would be just my luck

Since it's been a few days since the last episodes of Arcane released... Proud member of the "Jinx/Powder deserved better" club. Also, the "Jayce did nothing wrong" club. And the "Fuck Ambessa" club. Did I miss any?

Another reason why simmers, content creators and gamers need to just move over here.

As simmers, we see first hand how "just a description" doesnt work. People want easy and quick access to the source so they dont have to go through extra loops.

wish I could use Skyrim cheats in real life. not for the reasons you'd think (like giving myself money or resurrecting people), but for instantly spawning like 500 cheese wheels in order to get out of conversations

@ Netflix Arcane. Why? Comma. How could you? Comma. That hurt.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
