Pride month is around the corner, so just a reminder:
Bi+ people exist in heterosexual relationships and in homosexual relationships.
Do not invalidate us. I will take your knee caps.
Y’all are going through hoops just to say you don’t respect trans people.
I understand that Harry Potter is a part of your childhood. But the magic of growing up is realizing that you can still hold on to that joy you felt as a kid and also not support a TERF.
I know a lot is going on right now, but please stop calling me a “diversity hire”.
It really diminishes my talent, abilities, and successes.
Black folk have always had to work x10 as hard to prove they deserve a seat.
I am beyond qualified for whatever I tackle.
Thank you.
Today was shitty, for many reasons.
But I think being hate raided during a sponsored stream was the final nail in the coffin.
Sorry for ending stream early, but I am gonna put my mental first and log off.
I know yall understand. Seeya tomorrow <3
Did an IRL stream today where I told chat whatever they tip, I would give it to the only two servers working the lunch shift at the restaurant we visited.
Chat tipped over $300. Sheesh.
Tip your servers. Pls and thank you.
The gaming space is still sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. For folks in minority groups, this is not news to us. It's been like this for a while.
But believe me when I say, that is gonna change.
Call it a threat or call it a promise.
I know men created arm wrestling as an excuse to hold other men’s hands.
But they also invented chugging to show off their swallowing skills to their boys.
FELLAS, IS IT GAY TO-
I’ve only been at RT for a year and some change, but learned so much in being a producer & show runner. I’ve also made and met amazing friends in the process.
I am grateful for the time spent here, but even more excited for the future.
Now time to dust off the old resume.
Content creators: You can’t cater to everyone. That’s exhausting. Push for the audience that you want, not one that won’t respect you.
Viewers: No one is forcing you to consume content. It’s okay to move on and find content that suites you best w/o dragging creators down.
Shoutout to the old man on the plane who told me “god didn’t create men to wear nail polish.”
I responded, “god put me on this earth to challenge fragile masculinity and you’re proving I’m successful at my job :)”
Time to be transparent.
Came across a Reddit thread about me last night and it 100% killed my mood because I was talked about so negatively.
And it wasn’t even anything constructive I could work on, it just highlighted how I am annoying, boring, and a diversity hire.
Respect my boundaries or get out.
If you are offended after being asked to respect said boundaries, unlearn that.
No respect = no access to me or my spaces.
Life update:
I have officially been diagnosed with ADHD. I start medication next week.
I am genuinely proud of myself for continuing to better my overall health.
A troll came into my chat yesterday and said “you make black men look bad”
Homie. I look good AND I know it. You just see someone who is unapologetically themselves. Then you get insecure and start to project.
Go away. I’m too busy shining. 😎
I don’t invest (time) in my friends because of networking purposes or clout.
I do it because:
- I believe in them
- I love what they do
- They bring me happiness
Here’s the thing with hate raids~
Although I handled things perfectly and shut that shit down real quick, it still affects my mental. It’s an attack.
It doesn’t make me weak for reacting how I do. Tbh I’m strong as hell for taking a step back to protect my brain.
HAPPY BI+ VISIBILITY MONTH
💖💜💙
IF YOU IDENTIFY AS BI+ (including bi, pan, queer, omni, etc) THIS IS YOUR MONTH.
DON’T LET A MOTHERFUCKER TELL YOU YOUR IDENTITY DOESN’T EXIST.
PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE INSTEAD.
Because I tweeted this basic thing about gun control, conservative snowflakes has bombarded my inbox to call me a “p*d0” and have made threats to kill and r*pe me…
Y’all are sensitive as fuck and can stay mad.
//TW: subtle mention of su*c*de//
I cried a lot making this last night. I didn’t think I would, but I did. I am very proud of myself and the younger me would be too. 💕
During this time, please give people space while they grieve and plan what's next. A lot of us don't have the energy or information to answer all of your questions. When we know something, we will address it. But for now, give folks some grace.
Also, read the fucking room.
If I sound too "loud", too "gay", or too "black"... you're gonna have to get over it.
I spent too long finding confidence in my voice after constantly being shut down in white spaces so you can disrespectfully get fucked.
I'm here, black & queer, and I am ready to instill fear.
Throwback to when bbj*ss tried to use me to get closer to a popular content creator she basically obsesses over and I noticed it day one and informed said creator (& friends) of her clout chasing behavior.
Girl, I’m a male Pisces, I know a manipulator when I see one.
Queerness and blackness are two different marginalized identities. I can’t pretend to not be black. That’s not a possibility for me. It possible to hide your queerness (pls don’t tho). So majority of the time, people are gonna see and judge my blackness before my queerness.
What if I told you I was on a billboard in New York?
I’ve never been on a billboard before AHHHHHHH
Huge thank you to
@twitch
for this opportunity and huge thank you to
@KiwiOnTheSticks

To the folks celebrating Pride for the first time on twitch, please have a plan for if you get hate raided or follow-botted.
If anyone has resources they wanna share, please comment below.
Happy to announce that I will be featured on
@Twitch
’s “Black Brilliance” campaign this month. You might see this bean on the front page here and there. Who’s to say?
I’m black, bisexual, & becoming your next problem ✨
Don’t forget it.
#BlackHistoryMonth
#blackbrillance
48 Hour Stream ✅
As I say goodbye to this room, this space, this comfort… I am reminded by my amazing community that we will find comfort in the next one.
Goodbye, see ya soon, and thank you for believing in me.
HAPPY BISEXUAL VISIBILITY MONTH
Reminder:
You are bisexual if you identify as bisexual. Doesn’t matter who you are dating or who you have had sex with.
You are bisexual if you identify as bisexual 💗💜💙
If people have a issue with that, send them to me.
I didn’t win LGBTQ+ gaymer of the year.
Although I am proud of myself, it is a little frustrating knowing I tried really hard for this popularity contest. White individuals will always be more favorable in the queer space, but won’t always use their platform to uplift.
I’m still gonna smile. You’re not gonna take my black boy joy from me.
(Also, to the racists/homophobes who keep DMing me shit, you’re getting blocked on sight and you can stay mad at this glow.)
@KdinJenzen
Hello! I’ll be honest, this is not a good apology. You are claiming to be an ally but by listing all the ways you stood up for black people? Tbh it’s odd. You hurt the black community (and others) and this isn’t the best show of you changing. It’s coming off as performative.
It’s that time of year again where people will say that I only got something because I’m a minority and will completely disregard the amount of blood I’ve shed throughout the years.
Black creators work x3 as hard in this industry, just to get a crumb.
I deserve this.
My Stardew Valley Opinion:
I don’t give a fuck about any of the towns people. I don’t care if it’s your birthday or if you lost your favorite toy in someone’s room. I’m too busy doing hot farmer shit, get fucked.
Why are we so big on supporting tweets about black trauma, but when it comes to black successes, things don’t necessarily get the same coverage.
Many black creators have said this before.
We are much more than our trauma. Celebrate our ups, downs, and middles. Celebrate us.
To update everyone:
I’ve been dealing with a major health condition that has left me bed ridden for a couple days. I’m losing a lot of blood and it’s causing me major fatigue.
No streams until I figure out what’s going on. 😭💕
Had to call 911 tonight while at a food truck because this white homeless gentleman called me the n-word and then punched a guy in the face for defending my friends and I.
We are safe, I am sleepy, goodnight!
My dad has cancer and is getting surgery soon. He will not be able to work for a bit so for this Father’s Day, I am taking majority of my paychecks to help pay for my family’s rent and all of their bills for the 3 months he is out of commission.
Happy Father’s Day.
DO NOT come into my chat and pay me money to do something for you. DO NOT continue to pay me money and question why I won't stop my stream to educate you. It's not my job and the resources already exist. I choose what I want to do in my own space. Respect that. Respect me.
