I'm celebrating my birthday and pushing for my highest sub-goal yet all month! It will end October 1st and there will be a big event September 13th through September 22nd. ty in advance for any support on this!
“Nobody is free until we’re all free” isn’t just a silly phrase to tweet when you want internet social justice points it means listen to all of the oppressed and fight alongside them. To ignore the Sudanese is a result of anti-Blackness!
if you don't believe in the dangers of AI, know that people are justifying Sonya Massey's murder because of an AI video floating around that makes it seems like she attacked the officers with boiling water.
gentle reminder that boycotting means not to buy or promote products on the consumer end. it does not mean throw away what you’ve already purchased. idk why people think it’s a gotcha to bring up what people purchased years ago.
thread of Sudanese GoFundMes that have not met their goal yet.
#KeepEyesOnSudan
thread will be locked as I don't want spam that doesn't center Sudanese folks in need, but you can DM me with links if yours needs to be added!
Y’all will never be able to convince me there isn’t racism in the trans community when y’all raised 3k for a racist to buy a computer and the Black people that person was racist towards can’t even crowdfund for food. I hate this platform so much.
I KNOW who needs to hear this, but reclaiming a slur means using it endearingly to other members of the community after it was used negatively towards you and/or members of the community. Not perpetuating its negative use in the community. Hope this helps!
A lot of y’all follow
@ErinInTheMorn
despite her running block chains on black trans people to defend Keffals. A lot of y’all follow
@keffals
who is now telling her followers to pretend to be “black butch lesbians” to “infiltrate tenderqueer communities”. These are your faves.
This is why
@Twitch
needs more disabled ambassadors and partners because WHY would you put any requirements for consistent streaming and responsiveness to chat in the monetization agreement? You do know disabled and non-verbal creators exist… right?
The disabled community itself also has an issue with white supremacy and the promotion of disability-forward thinking with a white face that will need to be talked about. The way white disabled people are treated is completed different than disabled POC; I’ve seen this firsthand.
It is super important to understand that escaping war and suffering as a refugee is expensive and dehumanizing. Egyptian political leadership, for example, has stated that Egypt has no duty to assist those fleeing genocide. Some refugees report that they are also not able to-
"Why black people?": distrust for the medical system, not wanting to be seen as weak, autism dx can make people think we are not smart, over-trust in religious faith as a source of medical care, lack of access to testing, lack of follow-up from schools due to racism, etc.
Mr. Beast discourse is annoying because people won’t acknowledge the nastiness in how he built his wealth in the first place, how his content is used in right wing spaces, and how his content shouldn’t even be necessary.
thread of Palestinian GoFundMes that I have been sent by Palestinians in need.
#FreePalestine
thread will be locked as I don't want spam that doesn't center Palestinian folks in need, but you can DM me with links if yours needs to be added!
The majority of bigger autistic accounts are white. While many auties of color might relate to some stuff, it would be cool to have BIPOC autie representation in the form of bigger accounts as well.
Mutual aid is so incredibly important during strikes and I hope we can work to organize support for those who cannot afford taking time off of work. Please consider supporting people so that they can survive while striking and we can make strikes hit harder.
Saw someone on TikTok say “intrusive thoughts are your intuition” and I need to desperately inform everyone that this is not true and that if I acted on my intrusive thoughts a lot of people would get hurt.
This is a small and impactful way to support and help Congo. Please consider holding onto your tech as long as possible. Streamers, we can make a big difference this way!
Please understand that the “lack of notice” on the Global Strike was because it was a response to the veto the US imposed on the UN’s vote for a ceasefire. That is where this strike came from.
Stop calling this a western thing when it was called for by Palestinians.
Parasocial relationships also apply to the obsessive dislike you have for a person you know nothing about. Parasocialism isn’t just about being over-friendly.
Black ppl: Please do not use “SayHerName” for anyone who is not a black woman
White women: “Not everything is oppression Olympics!!!!!”
This is part of why I don’t speak on anything that involves white women.
1. Khartoum Aid Kitchen: The war in Sudan has contributed to millions of Sudanese folks facing threat of death by starvation. The Khartoum Aid Kitchen program assists in the maintenance of 17 kitchens. (£280k out of £300k goal raised)
supporting boycotts for things you have already purchased means: hiding logos (stickers, drink covers, etc.); not talking about the target of the boycott in a positive way (including if you p!rate/steal it); educating others about why it should be boycotted-
A lot of your white trans faves are racist as fuck and I’m going to start unfollowing people who follow these two specifically, as they cause harm by blocking all black trans people and platforming fascists. 👍🏽
Just a gentle reminder to my pals to please consider not streaming Phasmophobia. They housed a person who was sexualizing people without consent, being racist, and more in their development team and removed those trying to bring it up to the community.
If you’re having a hard time thinking of “how can I use this slur endearingly” then that is your sign that the slur is, in fact, NOT reclaimed and therefore shouldn’t be used 💗
2. Assist 15 families in evacuating North Darfur, where war rages, to a safer area in South Sudan. An organizer is assisting the families in their travels.
(£7.5k out of £20k goal raised)
We told y’all last year that anyone who defended Keffals was racist and you didn’t listen. You called us Jai Orbiters and wokescolds. I don’t even know Jai. And here we are being proven right over and over again.
someone came into my stream asking if I support isr*el, and a new viewer mentioned how it is a rule that cozy streamers do not discuss politics. I wanna take time to say that, while this is a norm, it is NOT correct or a standard of how cozy creators should be.
thinking about all the queer and trans people in Sudan, Congo, Palestine, Ethiopia, Yemen, Lebanon and more who we owe it to in recognizing this month and every month to continue to fight for their liberation.
This month, I’m being intentional I’m remember that there are disabled folks in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Lebanon, Ethiopia, Yemen and more who deserve support during this month. Also, please mask! 🙂↕️💗
3. Help Mujtaba's family escape the war in Sudan. Mujtaba is a Sudanese autistic looking to raise funds for themself, their mother, their brother, and their two sisters after over 16 months of living in fear.
($3.6k out of $19k goal raised)
4. Help four Sudanese families: one needs to evacuate Sudan, one is to support a medical student, one is to promote positive mental health and education, and one hopes to better manage life as a refugee in Egypt.
(€2.4k out of €50k goal raised)
Even if Keffals was not actually tricked and knew keemstar was a transphobe still, she still chose to platform him instead of… idk, a black trans person in need. Still chose to monetize her interaction with an objectively bad individual because he’s a “trans twt hot topic”.
I mean this in the kindest, genuine way possible: if your timeline had nothing about Palestine, Gaza, the UN vote, the strike, not even a tweet that you could happen to see, you need to increase your awareness of what’s going on with at least one of your social media accounts.
Feel really weird that people are commenting saying this isn’t a black thing or asking me why I made this tweet about black people. I’m black, the black autistic experience is much different than other races.
5. Help Asjad and her family escape war in Sudan. She is attempting to evacuate to Egypt with five other members of her family. Her father would work two jobs and her disabled mother is a housewife.
($9.4k out of $20k goal raised)
just a gentle reminder that someone setting a boundary with you does not mean they do not like you, it does not mean they are upset with you, and it does not necessarily mean they want to remove you from their space. it is a boundary that is set because they trust you to listen.
Hi, autistic people are actually very highly empathetic and I’m sick and tired of white autistics implying that their racism is a result of autistics not being empathetic. Our empathy is just performed differently! If you lack empathy, that is YOU, not your autism.
An additional strike is being called for, specifically calling for us to affect the economy through banking. I'm going to try my best to participate in this strike as well!
6. Help ThomaSerena recover from war in Sudan. This GFM assists a family in which working members are unemployed after fleeing to Egypt. ThomaSerena's home in Sudan was raided as well.
(€1.6k out of €5k goal raised)
10. Assist Eman, whose family's home in Khartoum was bombed. Eman lost their younger brother in this bombing. This GFM aims to establish shelter for Eman's family.
(CHF22.6k out of CHF38.5k goal raised)

hi. please do not do this???
I'm a streamer who cares about social justice and I WILL use my voice for what's right. If you don't like it, find another community. I'm a human being, not just media for you to consume.
7. Assist this Sudanese family in covering basic needs, relocation expenses, rent, food, and travel along with debts accrued during their journey.
($23.5kCAD out of $25kCAD goal raised)
8. Help Aalaa's family escape to safety. This GFM assists Aalaa's family in evacuating their mother to access medical care.
($7.3k out of $20k goal raised)
9. Help Abeer, a Sudanese girl who has been displaced eight times due to RSF Militias, and whose parents are chronically ill. This GFM supports 30+ members of Abeer's family.
($15k out of $40k goal raised)
Y'all do not get to just "try out Kick" and still call yourself a safe space for transgender people when the face of Kick said he wants us dead and Kick will not remove him.
Hidden replies will have a content warning for ableism, racism, anti-blackness, and/or medical tragedies without proper trigger warnings. Because stop commenting about black tragedies without a CW/TW what’s wrong with y’all
-work when they have gotten to "safe states", and Isntreal in particular has shown that they will destroy safe areas intentionally. Some people wonder why GFMs have such high goals, but these GFMs aim to pay for travel and obtaining refugee status along with shelter and food!
This kind of contrast and identification is actually a good accessibility feature but y’all pretend it’s not necessary because you only think about yourself.
please please think about who you follow on the platforms you engage content on. many people are saying they didn't know, but if you are active on social media and follow just one or two accounts speaking on the horrors in sudan, congo, palestine, and more, you will be informed.
I’m disappointed that the conversation in twitch twt regarding Palestine has now shifted to conversations about “not bullying” people for not supporting the strike, when the things that are being called bullying are genuine questions and attempts to educate.
Some of y’all are playing validate and commenting on black experiences while not being black. Some of you are giving all the grace to non-black characters while crapping on the black characters. I do not like what I’m seeing.
I didn’t announce it here… but I applied for YouTube partner and got accepted in less than 24 hours. 🧿💗 Thank you for supporting me, and I’ll be celebrating this weekend!
And it’s not lost on me that nearly all of my mutuals following these accounts are white btw. Like y’all know they’re doing this and don’t really care despite pretending to care about intersectionality.
Edit since I don’t want y’all accusing me of erasing identities lol
Many GFMs are extreme underestimates and/or short-term solutions to an issue that is or will become ongoing. At the end of the day, GFMs are donation protected. Please stop bringing up the amount asked for in GFMs by people actively facing genocide.
In order to be monetized on X beginning July 1st, users will have to give Israeli intelligence company AU10TIX access to their government-issued ID and biometric data.

Anyway if you wanna support the primary target of that gr*fter’s racism you can support Jai who always has to deal with some BS from people with THAT emoji in their DM
C ashapp and V enmo: @/$DreadedJai
No one is telling him not to help people. People are asking him to acknowledge the systems in place because one man doing these things, or even 100 men doing these things, is not as sustainable as systemic change, which these people have the money to produce.
People who think muting and blocking are the answer to the absolutely disgusting comments women, femmes, and enbies get on Valorant don’t understand and will never understand that the harm is not undone by not having to interact with these ppl anymore.
It bothers me to see people calling this an American thing because that's directly proof you haven't even researched before crapping on this strike. The Strike for Gaza is WORLDWIDE, with people across the world participating. It's not an American-only thing.
You are going to be shocked by this but did you know that you can support Palestinian men (and men in general) without sexualizing them? Did you know that only valuing men of color who are attractive to you is just another kind of racism?
I am sharing
@gothicpluto
’s guide she made for people to start acting in solidarity with Palestinians. Please consider using this. Thank you Char for creating this as well!
Being Black, autistic, and learning to unmask means carefully differentiating between unmasking autism and maintaining the social habits that keep us from harm as Black people. This presents another layer of unsafety in masking that non-Black autistics won’t fully understand.
For those saying boycotts don’t work, Starbucks is on its longest EVER loss streak for value (11 days) during what is the busiest time of year for the company.
Please spend today supporting Palestine and educating yourself about the world!
Here are some websites you can use to get more information about specific areas/groups:
PALESTINE:
CONGO:
YEMEN:
What’s scary about white fragility is that white people hold so much power and also get away with leveraging their fragility and softness. People of color are often viewed as bad for leveraging negative things that happen to them to build community.
My dislike for the wizard game extends beyond transphobia and discriminatory actions by JKR. It also includes the blatant racist and anti-Semitic tones present throughout the series and especially this game.
I said it in replies and I'll say it again: this is not about how I or anyone feel about certain slurs but rather what reclamation is; reclamation is an interpersonal, social thing. Using ANY language towards anyone involved boundaries and consent. if you don't like it that is ok

You can’t use this latch if you are outside of your home. The maintenance person was waiting inside of Miya’s home before she even got there.
I really need
@StreamElements
to know that no one can sustainably do these sponsorships that require their community to sign up and play games for financial support without some form of base pay. Too much overlap in communities means most of my followers have already done them.
Unfortunately, white people and their tendency to hyper-inflate their marginalized identities’ impact on their living compared to their white identity applies to the disabled community as well. This is something I continue to learn to navigate as a leader in this community.
Now that the Gayming Awards has been aired and they are over, I think it's time to have a conversation about what diversity and representation truly mean. These buzzwords were thrown around quite often throughout the event, yet, so few POC one individual awards at this event.
