As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

Hot take: When someone trusts you enough to tell you they're scared or something makes them feel unsafe, a good way to speedrun losing their trust forever is to act like a victim, call them crazy & bitter, and tell them they're overreacting without hearing them out. People don't forget that stuff.

There are many dissenters we'll never know - because when they refuse to comply, they disappear. There are countless allies who have given up their own comfort, security, opportunity, and personal wellbeing to fight for justice. I'm very grateful for their sacrifices. #gratitude #thankyou

There is no McTry.

I've been away far, FAR too long. This whole VTubing thing started with hopes to stream 2077. I'm a happy sp00der tonight because: 1. I'm back..! 2. ...starting with Cyberpunk 2077! twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAra...

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

Just saw a pretty decent little video about Fluxer. I'm honestly excited for this app, where it's going, and how the developer is responding to the Discord shenanigans.

Still bunches and bunches of scuff that needs ironing out, especially with getting my mouth tracking to work properly, but we are back! Thursday's stream was fun, kinda chill. Hoping to do something more substantial tonight! :D

Oh. Oh, I feel that one!

Aaaah! I didn't even know stuff like this existed. How incredibly cool, and immensely useful!

Y'all... If you're worried about this Discord thing that's going down? Take a look at @fluxer.app. It's kinda completely freaking awesome. It has very much the same look/feel/function as Discord, but it's decentralized like Bluesky. Feel welcome to friend me over there; I'm ItsyBitsyAraneidae#8888

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Inktober day 22 - Button Cornflower, Bachelor's button #inktober2025

I'm here. It's been a really tough time, this being the time of year that's got all the Bad Anniversaries® packed together. Missed my streamiversary. Got nothing planned for my birthday. I'm just doing the best that I can get back to hitting "Go Live." I'm trying. all. <3

Happy fall 🍂 #autumn #fall

OMG, she's so cute! My head just exploded into pink candies!

I am SO. EXCITED. Tomorrow the sign-up gets posted for the closed beta. If I understood everything from today's talks correctly, people will be able to start playing and testing the new overlays and stuff this coming weekend. It's so surreal to finally see this taking shape!

Feeling this one hard tonight. open.spotify.com/track/2NJeOO...

Full moon auroras in Fairbanks, Alaska

a cookbook is pretty much a grimoire for food

Hearts are DUMB, and they do stupid things without logic or consent and now I'm going to go scream into my pillow and blush and flail.

The thing we don't want to talk about (just like we don't talk about how a partner that doesn't hit us or raise their voices can still be abusers) is that all that's happening is ALREADY violence. The scales are imbalanced and things won't settle until they are. Violence begets violence.

I knooooow I've been crazy quiet lately. I know I've not streamed in a minute. But Swarmlings, I have been BUSYbusybusy! We're getting very close to being able to reveal what I've been working on. Not long, and I'll have something special for my witchy friends. I can't wait!

Not sure if stream will happen tonight. Last session, we found some problems with how/where the story has progressed so far, and some small revisions here and there need to get made, and they're taking a bit longer than expected. Will post again if we're going live tonight!

Tonight: A new patron claims us. A new challenge awaits us. New blood spilled, new weapons unlocked. ...And we still don't even know that Anduin is a threat. Find out what dumb things Bitsy blunders into tonight! Starting soon! twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

Very sorry, Swarmlings but I think I'm going to need to postpone tonight's stream until tomorrow. The migraines looked at my plans for the evening and said "no."

The mission to establish a base of operations in The Rift was a success, but potentially at the cost of access to & support from the College of Winterhold. Tonight is all about maintaining reputation. And maybe a little bit of magic. Starting Soon! twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

This WAS going to be a cute little recap of the rescue mission planned for tonight's stream. Instead, I'm going to grumble about getting attacked by not one, but TWO dragons as soon as I loaded my save. This MUST be Skyrim. twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

It's (hopefully!) going to be pretty chill tonight, but we're just going to be kind of hanging out and living in Skyrim, getting some social and domestic stuff done in The Rift. Starting momentarily. twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

One wee Wood Elf against a very big, very cold world. Does the world stand a chance?! We're continuing our Skyrim playthrough tonight over at twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

The north is for the Nords? Not while there's still a rabid Bosmer on the Worst Hunting Trip Ever®, carving her name into the hides of every Thalmor she finds. The Nords can have what's left after the chaos settles. The Mossthorn's saga continues now! twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

I'm back in Palworld, with a fresh(ish) start on our new community server, getting a little base established. Come see what we're making! Maybe even come make one of your own! twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

The sun shines. Water is wet. Spice must flow. Taking our first steps on Arrakis in Dune: Awakening! twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae Going live now-ish. Relaxing, chilling, hanging out with friends. Where better for FriendTime than PalWorld?

I've been so silent for so long. I've been going through some stuff recently, and trying hard to sort out some things. It's been a tough month. I'm working on getting things back up and running, though. To those who've reached out in messages: I'll be okay, and thank you SO much. <3 <3

Pain spiked super, super hard last night. Seem to have a fever now? That's not ideal. Headed for the hospital soon to get that updated lab work. Need rest. Need more water. Pain and a very upset tummy are making both of those reeeaaally hard. I don't feel good. 😥

Before I stumbled nervously into VTubing, my life was a mess and so much of my time was obsessing over my diagnoses. This latest medical thing has shown how much this year has helped my heart & mind. To all who have supported & encouraged me so far: Thank you, to infinity.

Okay, Body... look. You wanted rest, you wanted water. I GAVE you those. Stop getting worse! Back in a few days. Headed back to the hospital, I guess. Stupid meat bag. When do I get my sexy "autonomomous brain in a jar" technology?!

The loneliness & isolation is the worst part of being so sick and weak. At least I'm not completely alone on this one. She got worried when I didn't come out of the restroom for a while, and now she won't let me out of her sight. Of course... I can't move my leg now....

For tonight's community game night, rather than doing the stuff to make everything play nice with Twtich, we'll be in Discord, getting up to some mischief there. Fully planning to be back on Twitch tomorrow from 3-7 Pacific for our return to Fallout 4!

Work's done. The obvious scuff and stuff has been put down. I dare say it's time to get to this VERY late stream! With the artifact finally in hand, it's time to take the fight to the Thalmor. Skyrim will, we hope, never be the same after tonight. twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

I've had a last-second work assignment hit my desk, so there's going to be a little delay in today's start time. Instead of 4pm Pacific, I'll be aiming for 5pm Pacific. Very sorry!

Training Montage? Finished. Artifact? Spotted! Plan: In motion. We're about to institute some changes in Skyrim. twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae

There we go! All the different pieces are talking to each other! Tonight, we're back in Skyrim, as our little Bosmer has finally been forced to get off the fence. With revelations of depth of betrayal of her people, it's time to push back. twitch.tv/ItsyBitsyAraneidae
