The upcoming holidays are the worst time to be unemployed. I freaking LOVE giving people gifts and not being able to afford it blows chunks. 😞

And people still think it's bonkers that I left that site. 🤷

Hey, so I totally realize the likelihood of 3I-ATLAS being an alien construct of some sort is super unlikely, but what if it WAS aliens? Do we think they have healthcare???

Out of curiosity: What do you see on this card?? This is one of the playable cards in the hotpot mini-game on Palia. The correct answer is apparently rice cakes, but I've heard everything from frosted sugar cookies, sliced onions, and boiled eggs all the way to booty cheeks. 😂 What about you???

Election results are very encouraging tonight. But let's PLEASE remember future elections, too. Don't rest just yet, there's still along way to go!

I know many of you dislike politics, but I'll be honest, I needed tonight. I needed to be reminded that most Americans didn't want this orange nightmare we are in. That people were willing to show up at the polls, not just on social media, to push back on the 1937 referendum. Keep resisting.

Took Rufus to the vet today. He's been itchy all summer and scabby from scratching so hard. Turns out he has a FLEA ALLERGY, which is just ✨super!✨ $275 later, he's feeling better and all four kitties have been treated for said fleas. Stupid little bugs! Send him all your love for the rough day! 💕

I don't feel like feeding the hungry and taking care of sick and injured people is woke. Paying the people working for and defending our country isn't woke. Wanting people to have equal rights and NOT be indiscriminately jailed or killed is not woke. It's actually just called humanity.

Not sure what we did to anger the TV Gods, but we literally burnt out TWO TV sets in the house this weekend. Thankfully we all have bedroom TV sets and phones, computers, tablets, etc. to keep us entertained, but dang! Hope y'all had a great Halloween! 🎃

I loved This is Us when the first season began airing, but for the life of me, no matter how many times I've tried, I can never get too far into it. I love the cast and the story but there's always some character or another that just bugs the crap out of me. What are your TV hot takes??

Everybody go donate to Jambo's cause RIGHT NOW!!!! Diabetes is a bitch and deserves to be cured.

You know, I try not to get too in-depth with politics here in public, but if y'all don't think people losing their jobs, healthcare, and SNAP benefits right before the holidays while the government spends millions on a BALLROOM during a shutdown is some dystopian shit, I think you're beyond help.

I'm 🔴LIVE NOW with my LAST STREAM of October! Come hang out and watch me get all freaked out in The Mortuary Assistant! You can find it at twitch.tv/jiggyflyjoe OR the new "Stream" page on my website jiggyflyjoe.com! 😏

Somehow wound up with four of my own furry little portal demons. 🥰

Well, I guess last week was not the greatest time to try and get back into New World. Very sad to hear this, but hoping all the former Amazon employees land on their feet somewhere awesome. ❤️ www.pcgamer.com/games/mmo/ne...

It's rainy and chilly today so I think it's a good day for a nap. Everyone go take one! Even if you're at work! Tell your boss that I said it was okay!

Woke up at 7am this morning and going to bed before midnight like a normie! Who is he???

Yooooooo I am exactly 4 followers away from my 2019 goal of 200 followers on Twitch! Make me the happiest streamer alive and go follow if you aren't already! twitch.tv/jiggyflyjoe

I think that I can confidently announce that I've fully moved away from using OBS and I'm instead using @streamwithmeld.com! I think that I figured out the sweet spot for my bitrate and it appears to be working wonderfully now! ❤️

Whoa! I think everyone thought the Paramount/Skydance merger was going to engulf Warner Bros./HBO Max. Netflix putting in their bid would be slightly better, but also, can we stop with the attempted monopolies?? 3dvf.com/en/unprecede...

We're JAMMING tonight in a big way! Participating in Palia's JAMBOREE event while we party to my late '90s/early 2000's TRL playlist. 😎 GET IN HERE: twitch.tv/jiggyflyjoe

I'm still using a very old and rough webcam for streams, videos, etc., so I'm just dropping this link here. I started a little goal on my Ko-fi page to raise funds for a new/updated solution. Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated but NEVER required. Take care of yourself first. Thank you!!

Is there a book platform like what used to exist for DVDs and Blu-rays where you can scan the barcode of the copies you own physically and it would gift you a copy of it digitally also? If not, they should have that. I would enjoy it very much. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

One week until Halloweeeeeen! 🎃👻🧟 Come hang out with me LIVE while we dodge some spoopy killers in Dead by Daylight and listen to my Halloween playlist! twitch.tv/jiggyflyjoe

Got caught up last night, but I'm returning to stream tonight with my audio issues (hopefully) mostly fixed! We'll be checking out a survival game called ASKA from Sand Sailor Studio, who provided me with a key! If that sounds like your jam, come hang at 8pm CDT! 😊 twitch.tv/jiggyflyjoe

Not only am I back in my MMO era, I'm juggling two at once now. 🥴 Wish me luck in ever having time to do basically anything else ever! 🤷‍♂️

Okay, but why is Discord's Halloween ringtone such a banger though???

I think the clinic that I go to finally got the message that I do NOT like talking on the phone. Nurse left me a message today all like, “Heyyy, I'm just gonna send you a letter and you can pick that script up at your convenience, thaaaanks!” Guess I just had to wear 'em down. 🤷‍♂️

Amazon apparently stated that yesterday's AWS outage was due to a DNS error. As someone who has fought endless battles with DNS with my own domains, I can confirm that THAT TRACKS! 😭

Who's up and holding down the degen hours?? 👀

Been trying to have a chill time since I basically melted down on Friday. Finally got SOME stuff done today so I'm finally bouncing back. Hope everyone's having a great start to their week! ❤️

7 million people took to the streets across the nation to protest in defense of our democracy. This country belongs to the people. We will fight for it with everything we've got.

I live nowhere near a protest happening today, but if you're hitting the streets today, please be safe and KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! #NoKings

Sorry for the short stream! Having gotten crappy news at my doctor's today, tech issues while live, and some other personal issues just kinda added up and I wanted to get away from everything. I think I'm going to take Sunday off too and just decompress. I'll see you all on Wednesday. ♥️

I'm NOT in San Diego for TwitchCon this weekend, so if you want to hang with someone who couldn't make it, swing by now for good hangs! P.S. I'm only FIVE FOLLOWERS away from my 2019 goal of 200 followers. 🥺 Smash that button, friendos! GOING LIVE NOW → twitch.tv/jiggyflyjoe

Got everything transferred over from OBS to @streamwithmeld.com, so tonight will be my first stream with it! Hoping everything goes smoothly! 🤞

Took this photo of Cinnamon in the window yesterday and thought it was actually a really good photo of him but forgot to post it. Whoops! Please perceive and enjoy my big orange boy. 🧡

So many things to do and I'm going to take a nap instead. 😴😴😴

This article is not wrong. But the one episode where the title character is “normal” being one of the scariest isn't the only reason why this is a standout episode. I think it also speaks to a lot of its audience, too. Questioning what normalcy actually is and all. 🤷‍♂️

This is kinda cool and all but is anyone still actually using floppies??? 🤔 hackaday.com/2025/10/16/r...

I think StreamElements is borked. It may be time to start moving over to @streamwithmeld.com... 👀 It's only been like A YEAR AND A HALF since we met those kind people who showed Meld off to us at Midwest Fest. Anyway, I'm LIVE NOW and getting on our new server. Come hang out! twitch.tv/jiggyflyjoe

“Why yes, I am something of a computer scientist myself,” I say at parties when nobody can check my actual credentials. 👀

We're doing a Buffy rewatch this spooky season because it's one of my all-time faves. But I've started noticing weirdness... Example: I pointed out to Dad that it's weird that Giles had a cage in the library. He said it's for “special edition” books. What high school has SPECIAL EDITION BOOKS?!??

I woke up extremely late today, but my brain is feeling very productive today. Maybe I can make some progress on my 900 projects!

Taking tonight off from stream. Mostly just need to decompress a bit. Hopefully I'll see y'all on Wednesday's stream! ❤️

Community often did everything so right. I miss this show so much. Where the hell is our movie?!!

Granted, this photo of me is very old. Pretty sure from my twenties. I'm 40 now, here in 2025. Google also didn't exist this far back, so how the hell did Google ascertain from some kind of metadata that it is from 1969??? Math ain't mathing somewhere. 😒

Not Diane Keaton. 😭 Sharing her love of drinking wine over ice was the first time I ever realized that there are no rules and you can do whatever makes you happy. Important lessons to learn, I feel. Thanks for that, Diane! 🍷🧊

Countless dollars spent over the years on cat toys and my fur balls prefer to play with the brown packing paper that comes in the Chewy box. 🙄
