I thought dating apps looked like torture before 2026 and have avoided them but now I'm seeing screenshots of people responding using LLMs so I will never ever ever go anywhere near a dating app now. Ew wtf

I can't believe we're all alive and we don't just love each other all the fucking time. What the fuck is that about???

So mog or mogging comes from AMOG which means Alpha Male of the Group. Seeing people who identify as women use it is...odd. Everyone please stop using it unless you want to sound like a teenaged boy who believes in applying debunked studies on captive wolf behaviour to humans

When other people are struggling: you're dealing with a lot. Try to be kind to yourself When I'm struggling: well, fuck (I do try to be kind to myself but my brain doesn't always cooperate with that intention lol)

Never read into anything unsaid with me. I'm middle aged & I started using public social media in the 2020s lol! I would never have touched twitter if not for streaming tbh. I don't know the unwritten rules about following & so on + sometimes I just don't know how to respond

I do feel a lil like a skittish cat at times when dealing with other humans. If someone doesn't answer all my questions then I may not know how to proceed & social phobia may prevent me from asking again. So tomorrow I'm taking my e-waste on the bus bc junk guy sucks at email Iol

This is part of a wip bigger piece but I'm proud of this lil corgi sketch so you get a sneak preview 😯 #art | #dogart | #familiar | #sketch | #wip

I've been estranged from most of my family for a decade or more but I still woke up with a nightmare about them today. Mōrena/good morning lol

Sometimes I go to share something and then I pause to consider if it's an unsolicited "war" story and I decide against being the weird old dude in the corner. I have journals and close friends for that heavy stuff ❤️‍🩹

Gonna skip streaming this week. I'm still recovering from sleep debt from Saturday so my pain is worse than usual so I'll focus on resting and taking care of my body ❤️‍🩹

Guess who's B-Day it is! I'm so excited and mega nervous. I'm a bit sleep deprived cause of the prep and jitters and I'm a lill scared there will be major jank... (I'm already spotting some mistakes, all events take place in the PM CEST) But we'll make the best of it!

I actually prefer the "what did I come here for" feeling over the alternative flavour of memory disruption where I go into a room and do something completely unrelated then leave without realising that I forgot what I first came in for

I apologise for all the typos I have made today already. There will be more. My skull is full of lava that is dripping down the back right side of my neck (figuratively describing my migraine symptoms today)

Why doesn't anyone display their engagement ring like they're offering a fist bump? That's what I'd do if I believed in engagement rings lol

Too many people, queer people included, are only willing to expand the gender binary into a trinary with man, androgynous, and woman as the 3 points that one can be defaulted into. The spectrum is much more complex than that! Please open your hearts to new possibilities 💜

Part of chronic illness that I hate is how much recovery time I need after doing tasks that'd be simple for an abled person. I had to go to the pharmacy today but they were out of stock so I had to wait around for ~70 mins killing time. Got groceries & walked home. I'm knackered

ACAB includes queers who police the labels that other queers use, btw

Executive dysfunction is kicking my butt lately. I told myself I would wash my hair before watching more of the series I've been watching and so instead of washing my hair I've been watching YouTube for 2 hours lol the chronic pain isn't helping either

My asexuality was used against me in my abusive marriage where I was shamed for "low libido", sent to doctors, sexually & reproductively coerced, constantly picked at for any compliment I ever made about anyone's body, & etc. Also, asexuals do not have to prove our oppression! ❤️‍🩹

Quick PSA for LGBTQIA+ streamers: I had someone come into my chat today trying to argue that homophobia is involuntary. I said that's untrue and deleted their comment then they doubled down so I banned & reported them. Please be prepared for trolls this month. But don't fear! 1/

🔴 who wants to play video game*? *watch me play dark souls twitch.tv/magevivika

I overslept but I'll do my pain management routine and see how I feel for a late stream playing some more dark souls ❤️‍🩹

Grocery store gave me a free sample jug of milk so I made bread pudding with it. Pics are before and after nutmeg and icing sugar dusting. I put little dollops of raspberry jam instead of raisins inside. Custardy goodness 💜

Happy Pride Month! Reminder that I'm part of the following umbrellas: asexual, bisexual+, and non-binary as a demisexual, pansexual, and genderfluid person. I'm also polyarmous. It took me years to understand and be open about my gender and sexuality. Much love to all LGBTQIA+ 💜

GenAI is part of the alt right pipeline btw

While we're reconsidering the language we use I'd like to suggest we stop saying "body count" in reference to people's sexual history. Human beings are not just "bodies" we fuck. Body count comes from the gamification of war. It's violent dehumanising rhetoric. We can do better

I got too into the fallout TV series season 1 and stayed up past midnight so now my brain is full of gremlins tearing the curtains and setting things in fire. Chronic illness lyfe lol

I've gotta start taking winter walks so I better practice now while it's still autumn. So, for the 3 days lol

I realised how my conception that people who wake up early are the only successful way to be healthy, productive, and a real adult™️ clashes with my ethics and lived experience. I think the beautiful thing about being human is my ability to self reflect and shape myself 🌱

🔴 i'm live now or something, ig twitch.tv/magevivika

Despite waking up an hour before my alarm thanks to a nightmare I will be live in like an hour 💜

Gonna try to stream tomorrow (EDT Monday 6PM / NZT Tuesday 10AM) but depending on how I feel when I wake up stream might start 1-2 hours later ❤️‍🩹

i'd really like to get some more chibi examples in my new style done, so my chibi comms are now available at a discount! 😳 4 slots only!! will come with a transparent BG, could be perfect to use for twitch panels 💖 ko-fi.com/puffilee/com...

You don't even have to journal. Just screenshot that draft you feel too vulnerable to send and save it in a folder or copy and paste it into a note app of some kind. That can serve as a record of one's thoughts too

I just learnt that two pro football players who are going to face each other in the Women's Champions League final tomorrow are actually a couple, and I can't get over this fucking yuri scenario

I think some insults act sorta like Rorschach tests that have no meaning but deal psychic damage based on the individual target's personal biases and insecurities

There's this strip of dirt that I worked really hard to make it into flattened terraces so it can retain more water. I used fallen branches for the retaining walls & some mirror plant (native coprosma repens) branches are growing leaves! I accidentally made little living walls 💜

Found another edible weed so I'm planting it in a pot to grow more! 🎉 I say pot but it's a half cinder block, that keeps my rubbish bin from blowing away, with cardboard at the bottom to keep the dirt in. Wouldn't be a kiwi if I didn't make do with what I've got lol

I didn't think it would work but I stuck the pieces of my fern in some seedling potting mix and watered well. I checked one today and if has tiny roots‼️ I may actually be a plant growing miracle worker

Not sure why he's holding Charlize Theron like that, tho

I'm so grateful that in my past life I got myself some long lasting items of clothing. I'm grateful most still fit me. I might have pushed through unto disability but I do so appreciate my past self for getting me through all that with a bit to show for it. Thank you, past me ❤️‍🩹

The same Bill that a majority of our parliamentarians chose to progress to a second reading today was introduced in Australia by Pauline Hanson and their parliament told her to fuck off. The absolute shame of it all.

Here it is with alt-text Didn't mean to post without

My hunger cues the last 2 days have been random lower abdominal pain or the sensation of someone using an apple corer on my brain. This is not ideal

Thank you to everyone who shares about their human experiences. Marginalised people of all types, people with life circumstances that aren't often seen in art or media from their perspective, for people who society deems as non-existent. I see it, it's hard, I appreciation you 1/

Dave Grohl was actually so good in this movie

The more I learn about plants and gardening the more I realise that the mint family is so damn massive lol

I painted a cat

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI
