Welcome back to the Artemis II crew :) Such a huge relief watching them arrive safely!

Trying a new-to-me game today: Slime Rancher! Come join me as I fumble around! 😆 www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale #SmallStreamer #CozyStreamer #SlimeRancher

Working more today on the Autumn Blanket by Margaret Holzmann! Come join for Knit and Chaos Chat! www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale #CraftStreamer #CozyStream #SmallStreamer

I've had to step back from watching The Pitt because watching all these people burn out spectacularly is mirroring my real life a little too much right now. And it's a little heartbreaking because there's so many compelling stories there and I want to see them, but I'm going to breakdown if I do.

I'm live again playing #StardewValley! Come join me as we do....farming stuff. 🍂 www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale #SmallStreamer #CozyStreamer #LurkersWelcome

Playing Peak tonight with Dani! Come watch us flail! www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale

And we're back on that #StardewValley Grind! Chickens today, mayhaps? 🐣 #SmallStreamer #CozyStreamer www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale

Had an absolutely blast and made good progress on the first part. Had some silly discussions about trees and nematodes, then raided @salfordsal.bsky.social to finish it out.

Trying something new today: an afternoon crafting stream! Working on a blanket I've picked specifically for this, come join me in yarny excitement! www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale

We got a coop! (After a bit of a wood selling catastrophe, whoops.) Chickens will be next stream. 😄 We raided out to @dyotheyarndragon.bsky.social who's playing FFXIV!

We're going for chickens today in #StardewValley! 🐣 www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale #SmallStreamer #CozyStreamer

im dead serious when i say fucking around (starting cool projects) is about 2% of the effort required in finding out (finishing projects), this is mostly why you don't see a lot of finished projects

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

Had such a fantastic time getting Summer wrapped up and starting fall! 🍂 Thanks to everyone that came! Raided @dyotheyarndragon.bsky.social at the end for some yarnie goodness!

We're finishing Summer today in #StardewValley, but I have no clue what we're going to do. 🏖️ www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale #CozyStreamer #SmallStreamer

asking for a friend, how do you finish something when you have the exciting combination of perfectionism and imposter syndrome

Come join me as we search for iron and probably finish out summer in #StardewValley! www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale #SmallStreamer #CozyStreamer

Turns out when I think everything I do is shit, I probably just need a nap.

I just want everyone to know that when you spot factual errors or other mistakes in my work, that is NEVER the result of a genAI hallucination. I made those errors myself, all on my own, through genuine, hard-working human incompetence

Thank you for such an awesome stream today! 💚☺️ Raided out to @queerlybee.bsky.social and now am scampering off in search of lunch!

Come join me as we get back into the swing of things in Stardew Valley! www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale #stardewValley #CozyStreamer #SmallStreamer

1000% this. Every bit of attention and money she gets is used to advocate for real-world harm to people. There's no separating art from artist when they're still alive and using their wealth for ill.

We're getting tomatoes today. 🍅Come join me! (We're also celebrating that I hit affiliate status!) www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale #smallstreamer #cozystreamer #stardewValley

It's really wild to me that I'm catching blocks for interacting with content that says censorship is bad. So, let's lower the rent a little here: Censorship is bad. Letting the government and pay pros tell you what you can and can't create or spend money on is so phenomenally bad.

Surprise Stream with Kallen! Playing Peak (and falling down a lot) www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale

No stream today, I’m not feeling up for it. 💚 Take care of yourselves!

Come join me as we head into Summer Year 1! Melons here we come! www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale

I know I have too many fiber WIPS when I don't have the bins for them. I need to *finish* something already jeepers.

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Teaching myself to rest is one of the most difficult undertakings I've had to do. I still don't know how, but the voice that yells at me for not doing enough is slowly getting quieter.

Come join me as we continue Stardew Valley in Spring Year 1! twitch.tv/u/gemma_hale/ #CozyStreamer #StardewValley

Going live with more Stardew Valley and Coffee, come join me! (Lurking welcome, don't stress.) www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale

We can't grow coffee yet, but we can drink it! Come join me for Coffee and Stardew Valley. 😄 www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale

Come join me as we grow a whole bushel of kale in Stardew Valley! www.twitch.tv/gemma_hale

ngl after recent events of politicaI & online stupidity, i really need this kinktober to be for the freaks™. need u all to get so freaky with it, just unabashedly weird. concerning to outsiders, perhaps. i want to question things about myself, i want to feel like my ao3 bookmarks need a lock and key

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write.

Even if it feels like the world’s ending, don’t forget your HALT: Hungry. Angry. Lonely. Tired. You can’t fight fascism on low blood sugar

It wasn't until a client made the comment that she needs more coffee that it dawned on me that I have not had my requisite coffee (1 cup vs 2) nor have I taken my brain meds. ....well fuck.

Therapy is good to do but damn today I feel like a wrung out towel.

ADHD = Always Dropping Hobby Dollars

when you open a service you've been using for a decade only to find it out it caught the virus

We need to keep the threat of backlash against the use of genAI in art spaces as harsh as fucking possible because if we give these talentless, plagiaristic fucks an inch, you bet your ass they're gonna take a mile. They won't stop until AI "art" enshittifies every medium it can reach. End of story.

It’s distressing that I can’t craft and write at the same time; usually because all my brain bits are as plugged in as much as possible already. 😭 Trading off between them feels completely unfair.
