Not to alarm anyone, and I know this may be a shock for some, but I'm in fact ... Canadian. I don't know why folk seem to think I'm a US American, but I was born in Canada. I'm not sure how I'm giving off the impression otherwise. I'm also sick so my stream today might not happen. Sorry.

Since #discord is going down the surveillance route (whether forced by US regulation or not), I'm cancelling my subscription. Giving your ID or likeness online, especially in this age of AI, is risky and should be a choice, not a requirement.

I'm going to take a mental health/behind the scenes day today. I'd meant to do that on Sunday but I got swept up in the momentum of things. I do however, need a day this week where I can focus on some things on the back end and generally unwind. Please don't expect a stream today. Sorry.

Since Discord is apparently rolling out Government ID based authentication requirements soon as of their recent press release, you'll notice my Discord will be disappearing unless this decision is reversed. More below the link to the article: discord.com/press-releas...

Just going to leave this here: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... The more people that sign, the faster this becomes a thing the government has to deal with. Please. I beg of you, don't let this pass you by. Help us make sure Canada remains an accepting and open place for all. Closes Feb 16th, 26.

On top of Operation Transcendent Love taking off today and as of this post making $625.07 on the first day alone! There's another way you can be a sidekick to a trans person in need: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... If you're #canadian, that includes being a resident in #canada. Please sign.

I can't believe I didn't post the video. HEY! WANT TO SEE ME IN A YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A YEAR?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA8E... Go see my cat Watch. And then everyone else!

And to kick this off we have the lovely KayteeKhaos streaming #Elite:Dangerous on #twitch AND running a bit of a give-away on stream! www.twitch.tv/kayteekhaos Come give her a watch, and join us in the fun this Sunday! #fundraiser #translifeline

OPERATION TRANSCENDENT LOVE 2026 IS LIVE! Hi. A fun little gaggle of various streamers are trying to raise $5000 USD for Trans Lifeline. You can find more about Trans Lifeline here: translifeline.org And if you have a spare dollar or two, you can find our donation link here: tilt.fyi/P7hJXx3Ka1

This is what I get going to the site. Forgot to add it in the original post: It's just a "500 | Server Error" issue. Hoping your site administrator isn't too stressed right about now. #chillhopmusic #chillhop #chillhop.com

@chillhop.com Not sure if you're aware, but your site seem to be inaccessible in at least Canada at the moment. I'm not sure if you are in the middle of a site-wide update or if there's a service outage, but I hope you over there in the lofi music world are doing alright tonight. ♥

Oh gosh! NEVERMIND! WE'RE #LIVE ! ON #TWITCH! This is NOTHING BUT SCUFF! www.twitch.tv/talisidekick We're going to help Worsty while NOTHING IS WORKING RIGHT! Camera: Offline. Music: Offline OBS: Barely functional. LETS GOOOOOOOO!

My stream tonight is cancelled. I'm experiencing some software issues and connection troubles. My internet is dropping out randomly and for some reason OBS is giving me the nightmare treatment (though I did try to set up an entirely new profile for video making so that might be my fault).

Because I'm seeing chatter here that there's been a bit of issue protecting trans folk who were getting harrassed, and a few of my siblings have apparently been chased off, I'm going to just invest in a back-up: gandersocial.ca Looks like early access is sometime this year.

Want to come hang out in space for a bit? I'm #live on #twitch playing #Elite:Dangerous and listening to lo-fi. www.twitch.tv/talisidekick If you need a moment to relax, come by, we welcome the inclusive.

I'm seeing a lot of accounts pop up talking about how bluesky is "failing the black trans community" and it's just post after post going on for hours. I've seen this for days. These aren't threads. They're just posting, not replying. Did something happen, or is this just clever bot spam? (1/2)

Some knowledge: As a transgender woman, it might surprise you to know I get period symptoms every month around this time. This includes mood swings, an increase in smell, gastrointestinal issues, and the big one: cramping. The only thing I don't get is the bleeding. I can thank HRT for this.

I'm #live now on #twitch! Come join for some fun chats about my day and stuff I have planned. As well as me doing TERRIBLE ART that will later become Vtuber Avatar ... www.twitch.tv/talisidekick If anyone told you that you couldn't, I'm here to show you that you can anyways.

I go live in 30 minutes! On this trans womans' agenda today we have: - Talking about discussions and decisions made over a busy weekend! - Polling chat about the future theme of the channel! (mostly making sure I'm not going too crazy) - Art on the VTuber Avatar! - Plans for future mischief!

Drawings Owed: 16 -> 17. Oh for the love of- *sighs* Are we ready to admit this trans exclusionary sports thing has just been about making pseudo-science to support a pro-patriarchical ideology? Or do we need more studies proving trans people are humans and not biologically superior aliens?

Just a reminder that the transgender flags colours represent: - Transgender Men and Trans Masculine Individuals (blue) - Transgender Women and Trans Feminine Individuals (pink) - Nonbinary and Gender Diverse Individuals (white) Read that last one. They're trans, not "trans lite" or allies.

"You just need to relax. Worry a little less." Okay fair, but, counter, have you considered I have no idea what I'm doing and I've somehow tripped into getting production advice from successful people in the entertainment industry? This is like being goon #76 and having the boss call you by name.

My advice is leave him. I grew up in a conservative family and they lie about their views to seem agreeable. They're two-faced. You made it clear your boundaries, if he's crossed them, end it. From experience, it starts small; this won't be the last time he crosses them, he'll keep pushing. (1/3)

If being "popular" or "successful" on Twitch, YouTube, or the internet in general requires me to sacrifice my beliefs and morals to put out reactionary "content" ... I'll just be unpopular and unsuccessful. I don't need you 7 day online "boot-camp" to "maximize" engagement. I'm here to ...

Hello my fellow Sidekick's, Henchie's, and Goon's, I'm #live on #twitch! Playing #Elite:Dangerous and ... hey ... do things look a little clearer to you? www.twitch.tv/talisidekick ... something's ... changed ...

To the #CouncilOfEurope: thank you for voting to ban Conversion "Therapy", thank you for not supporting the torture of LGBTQI+ folk. In a world where an increase in isolationism, hate, and intolerance has gripped many countries and begun the walk back of Human Rights: thank you for standing up.

It is SO me for the first thing I do once I get internet back is to check NONE of the notifications, and immediately launch into a socio-economic rant on why we should eat the rich. Sorry my fellow sidekick's, henchie's, and goons. Anxiety and ADHD meds go make Tali Sidekick go BRRRRRRR.

But honestly, lets get a little old-school Tumblr about this. This will be a thread: Firstly, in order to break down why being rich or becoming rich is actually bad, you first need to understand that Capitalism is built on the principle of infinite growth. This principle is a fallacy. A lie. (1/12)

By this logic if I were to post an article about how a majority group is bad on social media it would do terribly, resonate with no one, make every single follower I have leave my account, and get horribly ratio-ed... So in this essay, I'll discuss why the rich suck and why wealth caps are good...

I now have internet again. IF there's a stream today ... please be gentle with me. I am ... so over today. The internet guys were wonderful. Just ... I'm only a people person on stream, IRL is ... too much.

So. Internet is still out. The guy came, turns out he has to drill a hole. Landlord is fine with it. Had to talk to our neighbour because the new wire will have to pass over his balcony. Why? Becauae otherwise it's a whole weeks wait for a bucket truck to string it over the roof ...

Wait. But now there's five! Oh gosh, this is getting worse ... what's next? 6!?

Three goals in life right now: 1. Become Vtuber again. 2. Learn to draw. 3. Learn to program code again. 4. Make a dumb gay solar-punk game about sailing. ... wait. I said three ... why are there four?

The boredom has hit such a low that I'm now scrolling through code just to see how a piece of software works. The two things I've learned is: 1. My software degree is worthless. 2. This trans foxgirl programmer/vtuber is such a better software engineer than most software engineers I've met.

Hah! My internet is out! They've no idea why, but the wire to our building just won't report. So we're getting a free fiber optic upgrade! ... tomorrow ... that might not work until noon Friday. I ... need to learn to draw so I can make a comic about my life. It'd do numbers ...

I looked outside and saw a guy on his run wearing a near skin-tight breathable soccer jersey style shirt that was the progress pride flag with the intersex inclusion chevron. It's -20C outside, and he's just in booty-shorts, and a gay pride soccer jersey. Just ... O7 - my good man.

Hello my fellow Sidekick's, Henchie's, and Goons! I'm #live on #twitch streaming #Elite:Dangerous. www.twitch.tv/talisidekick Given recent events and the nose-dive the rich and powerful in this world seem intent on taking, I've decided to focus more on spreading happiness and kindness ... (1/2)

My GG, my great grandmother, my have been Jewish. I had someone point out to me that I have some Yiddish words in the way I speak. I was confused because I never noticed those words weren't English. My GG always used them. Then some of the things she said in passing suddenly made more sense ...

"Just us AI as a reference tool!" How about I use peoples real art as a reference tool? You know, sit with it, and admire it as I get inspired to try to incorporate the aspects I like into my own developing style? Like how art is SUPPOSED to be viewed? Not as a commodity, but as an experience?

Additionally, at 6PM CDT, we're going to raid someone. I'll leave it up to chat to recommend who, but if you want to drop in during then we might be able to give someone a fun surprise!

There's no lead-up to this stream. No 8 minute wait before the ads. I'm #live on #twitch NOW! www.twitch.tv/talisidekick Come say hi! And give a HUGE thank you to @gemma.transwrites.world because this rare Saturday livestream is happening because I missed the shout-out I was given last evening!

Learning perspective is hard, proportions is harder for me. But I swear, the moment I have this down I'm going to flood this social account with as much LGBTQIA+ art as I can. Also as much cute art as I can. So much positivity planned. Just have to wrap my head around proportions ...

I should check my socials during my streams because how DARE you give me a shout out and not let me say "thank you" on stream. Guess I'll have to do a rare Saturday Elite: Dangerous stream to say it in person today. Also ... DM me the system if the colony isn't done yet? I'll come help. ^.^

Hey. I'm #live on #twitch sketching out a new Vtuber Avatar concept. www.twitch.tv/talisidekick This stream is running a little later than usual but that's because I did something VERY dumb. Anywho, this is just going to be a chill art and gaming stream.

Just wanting to know when the universe plans to stop throwing punches. That's all.

The battery for my car is dead. Just had it jumped. Ran it for an hour to recharge it. Shut the car off. Tried to start it again. Wouldn't run.

I'm over my cold and #live on #twitch. www.twitch.tv/talisidekick We're mainly gaming, maybe doing art, mostly chilling.

I was sick yesterday, and today, which is why it'll be two days without streams. I'm so sorry. I'm not sure what this is but it's making it hard to breathe, I sneeze like 5-9 times in a row every few minutes, my nose is running ... I feel aweful. If I stream today, it'll be very late if at all.

Wanna go to space with me? You can! We're playing #EliteDangerous #live on #twitch! www.twitch.tv/talisidekick Also the new goth dress came in and I may show that off MULTIPLE TIMES because my heck is it CUTE! Anywho. Space time!

The dress came in over the weekend.
