www.twitch.tv/redlianak - More Olivier! ... I mean Trails in the Sky on Twitch

Apparently it's required that I launch Trails in the Sky, crash it, then launch again to make it work. But I'm on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/redlianak

www.twitch.tv/redlianak - Playing more Trails in the Sky with my new buddy Olivier!

It's a real sign of the the times that people freaked out way more over Elon's "gesture" than him lashing out at South Africa and getting Trump to yank their HIV funds because they're trying to return some land seized in 1950 to Black farmers.

If you want to guarantee people will aggro you on social media, suggest that people be kind. It's the weirdest thing. Being kind doesn't mean being a doormat. There's zero point to having a temper tantrum over kindness.

Playing more Trails in the Sky on Twitch. A wholesome escape from the insanity of the world. www.twitch.tv/redlianak

Writing an original message (don't use a form or script) to, or calling, your local representative is more effective than freezing your butt off in a protest right now.

There's a lot of fear out there. People are going to be losing it. This isn't a personal failing. It's not "weak". People can only take so much. Set boundaries. Don't accept screaming at you, name calling, or lying. But be kind. Don't lash out at easy targets. Stay focused. Don't be a bully.

This is a word of warning to all of us. Left, right, or anything else. Constantly reevaluating and learning.

#clearthelist #teachersky Please retweet. I am a fourth grade nyc teacher in a title I school. I would love some help with our wishlist with school supplies, books, and more. I appreciate you and any help you can provide. Thank you www.donorschoose.org/classroom/23... www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Feb 2, 2025. The second day of Black History Month and the 2nd quote from Mr. James Baldwin. For those unfamiliar with Mr Baldwin, I will again suggest watching a documentary about his life “I Am Not Your Negro”. He can still teach us so very many things if we just will listen.

In honor of black history month, I will be doing a daily thread of James Baldwin quotes. If you have never heard of the late great Mr Baldwin, he was a trailblazer in so many ways. If the weather is crappy where you are might I suggest “I Am Not Your Negro” a 2016 documentary.

Momentum Canada has a petition calling on the GoC to recognize that the US is no longer a "safe third country", to update travel guidance to the US and create a clear and accessible pathway for trans refugees. Please join me in signing. #TransRights #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Hey remember when George Lucas was like “hurr durr Trade Wars” and we were like that’s so silly and he was like no wait that’s how Emperor Palpatine comes to power and we were like you are obviously dumb Jorge.

Google spent billions of dollars on this shit.

Imma need the internet to take this to heart today, because wow.

Ever notice that people who can't admit they were wrong accuse everyone else of being unable to admit that they're wrong?

"Protect trans kids" Just got a lot more real.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

If you think you can just punch a Nazi in the face, you don't understand the unique evil of the Nazis. Historically, if you punched a Nazi in the face, the Nazis went after your family. Stop this grandstanding nonsense.

Be like Bishop Budde. Choose mercy

It's weird how many people who claim I'm just awful and terrible keep watching my YouTube content, take it personally, and keep commenting on it. I don't watch content by people I think are bad people.

It's interesting how often people tell on themselves because they get enraged and keep talking.

Multiple people responded to this with "I'm not scared! I'm pissed." You have that right, but it's not relevant here. Others said "I'm not going to be kind to Trumpers!" You don't have to be kind. Just don't ATTACK and ABUSE.

Really tired of the premium cable/ streaming gimmick where a character appears to die at the end of a season, only to be brought back in the first episode of next season because they were too popular. Killing characters is not the only way to create excitement. Be creative.

A lot of people are scared right now. Attacking and abusing others because you're scared isn't the way to handle your own fear. When you do that, you're just adding to the aggression someone else has to process.

Sharing, but please respect her desire to not be bothered about this anymore. People have the right to be left alone and get on with their lives. This represents a LOT of work, and if she's done, she's done.

Passengers, you have rights! Tell your fellow riders they have rights and should use them. To report ICE activity or an active ICE raid, call or text the @waisn.bsky.social hotline: 1-844-RAID-REP (1-844-724-3737).

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!

Okay, real talk. After all the swastikas that showed up on signs at left wing anti Israel protests, Jews aren't persuaded by people insisting we get very upset over Elon. You don't get that we're used to being hated by EVERYONE at this point. There's nowhere to go.

If Elon did THE GESTURE on purpose, it was bait. If he didn't do it on purpose, the controversy is bait. Don't take the bait. Focus on the sum total of his antisemitic behaviour. Two arm movements are nothing compared to all the hate speech he invited onto X.

It's really not about leaving the other platforms. It's about bringing people here and giving them more engagement than the other apps. That's what people want. Engagement. Takes nothing to offer it If there is a user on another app that you like, DM them and invite them here. Post and tag me

You can't beat MAGA with grievance. You can't beat MAGA with rage. Be the more compassionate alternative so their scare tactics stop working. Midterms will be here before you know it. They lose one branch, they become much less dangerous.

See I agree with the way the ADL handled the Musk thing. They gave him the benefit of the doubt at first, then when he kept making nazi jokes, they said "okay not cool". It shows they weren't determined to hate him no matter what, and he exhausted the goodwill. It's more effective.
