I got to see my childhood best friend perform drag today, and it's so healing to see how happy he is these days. Shoutout to trans drag performers, y'all rule.

My doctor just told me she's surprised I can still get out of bed given my blood test results and,,, hahahaha,,,

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

I'm going to get the merch store up and running again, even if I have to get a PO box out of town and ship things myself. I have a plan - an ambitious plan, but a plan nonetheless. I'm really nervous, but even more excited. Stay tuned, folks!

Today I overheard a child say "ChatGPT it" instead of "Google it" and genuine fear was struck into me

Sorry for the short stream, folks! All the technical difficulties soured by mood a bit, and I'm still feeling the fatigue of moshing so hard last night. I appreciate the hell out y'all. Take care of yourselves, I'll be back on Saturday with a functional charger and more energy!

For the first time in my life, someplace feels like home 💚

Extremely delayed stream schedule, apologies folks! I'll be taking it easy this week while I focus on getting things in order for my upcoming streamaversary - mark your calendars for March 4th - but I appreciate y'all and everything you do to the ends of the earth. Be there or GET BIT!

With the @shiniesforgood.bsky.social #ICEOut community fundraiser come to a close, I want to thank everyone for the love and support this past week. Together, we raised a total of $8,238.67 for the American Immigration Council, with $2,840.67 coming from our very own Ashen!

We have just under six hours left on our first drive, and we're under $2k away from our second goal of $8,192 raised for @immcouncil.org! Let's rally together to break that barrier and fund #ICEOut that much more! Pitch in if you can! tilt.fyi/2HUfblT91q #Charity #ShinyHunting

Sorry for the delay, folks! It's the final night of the @shiniesforgood.bsky.social #ICEOut fundraiser, and I want to thank you all for helping us support an incredible cause. I'll be contributing my share tonight. Lets hunt some shinies! twitch.tv/aerchivist

The battle against age verification requirements and digital censorship is about more than just Discord. Bills like KOSA and the SCREEN still threaten to strip our privacy here in the US. A free, private, and accessible Internet is still possible. But only if we fight for it. Don't give up.

In the face of fascism, standing by our communities is key. Protect your neighbors. Tell your friends you love them. Organize, and have each other's backs. They can't kill us all.

We're back with more shiny hunting as part of the @shiniesforgood.bsky.social #ICEOff fundraiser! Thank you so much for the support thusfar, I could not be more grateful! twitch.tv/aerchivist

Tiny compilation of Legends Z-A shinies from the ongoing @shiniesforgood.bsky.social #ICEOut fundraiser benefiting the American Immigration Council! Our community has raised over $2000 this past week, and I could not be more proud. The hunt for Shiny Alpha Scrafty continues tonight at 7:00 PM EST!

it's 2026. PC Gamer is doing journalism while actual news outlets post more transphobia. a sandwich costs $16 or five easy payments of $5 with SandoLoan

New video, out now 🧡🏳️‍⚧️ It's been 99 days, it's good to be back <3 youtu.be/TaaDPP2um6E

Hello this is my son and he hates ICE!

Apologies for the delayed start, folks - In any case, we're back for another night of shiny hunting as part of the @shiniesforgood.bsky.social #ICEOut fundraiser, and last night the group goal of $4096 was reached! Lets see if we can double it! twitch.tv/aerchivist

I'M SO PROUD OF Y'ALL, KEEP IT UP

I think this is the first time since my partner push that my streaming has had a sense of purpose. This shit is worth every moment. Thanks, folks :]

Didn't have too much time for off-stream prep today, BUT we're back for DAY 2 of the @shiniesforgood.bsky.social #ICEOut fundraiser benefiting the American Immigration Council! We raised over $1000 yesterday! Can we do it again? Twitch.tv/AErchivist

I'm proud to be the loud punk bastard that the VTuber scene desperately needs <3

First target of the @shiniesforgood.bsky.social #ICEOut fundraiser got! And we've already smashed our personal donation goal twice! The hunt continues!

We're live with some Pokemon Legends Z-A for the first night of the @shiniesforgood.bsky.social #ICEOut fundraiser! Even if you can't donate yourself, please consider lurking, as I'll be donating half my twitch revenue for the week <3 Stream: twitch.tv/aerchivist Donate here: tilt.fyi/CovYCR15Hq

#Pokémon streamers are shiny-hunting Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel types, all super-effective against ICE, to raise money for the American Immigration Council during a weeklong #charity-fundraiser titled @shiniesforgood.bsky.social! indiecator.org/2026/02/10/s...

In the latest of a series of attacks on digital privacy, Discord has announced plans to implement age verification measures globally. If you care about this space we’ve built together, I ask you to stick around and speak up.

I'm going to be so real. I'm not doing okay right now. I'm scared for the future of my content, I'm frustrated with the world, and to top it all off, I'm sick. I need to take time to be offline and regulate, but the universe isn't really allowing that. Please be patient with me right now.

The number of people jumping ship from Discord without taking the time to fight back via other means or even establish alternative spaces scares me. Please, speak up. Fight back. We can't keep giving up and jumping ship at any hint of adversity.

From 2/10-2/16, I'm going to shiny hunting in support of the American Immigration Council as part of the first @shiniesforgood.bsky.social fundraising event! Hope to see you there. Fuck ICE!

Do not leave Discord yet. Prep your alternatives. Have your backups. Research. But. Cancel your Nitro. Send an email or support form a day. Call if you like. If you couldn't before for the Visa card shit, now is the time. And above all else; stand by your communities. Fight. FIGHT.

Age verification policies like those soon to be implemented by Discord will inevitably be used to target queer and leftist voices, and protecting your privacy is VITAL as any variety of marginalized person on the modern internet. I would know. In June of 2025, I was investigated by the FBI.

The schedule is a bit up in the air this week, largely because we'll be shiny hunting in support of the American Immigration Council as part of @shiniesforgood.bsky.social !! I'll be dedicated a much of my stream time from 2/10-2/16 to the campaign as possible, expect more news very soon...

It's been 7 months since my last longform YouTube upload, and while I've talked extensively about this in various platforms, I want to apologize again. I'm finally getting help.

Listen, I can't directly advocate for crime on the internet, BUT piracy (and the requisite skills) are fundamental to the preservation and propagation of digital media and art under a capitalist system. If you care about preserving art, please learn to torrent.

MY VINTAGE STORY RP SERVER, PROJECT DAYBREAK, LAUNCHES NOW!!! Come join stream while stumble around, choke on DIRT and learn how you can join me and the rest of the community! twitch.tv/stellakosmistr #VTuber #VintageStory #SixDollarShrimpSpecial

Ngl, stumbling into the shower the morning after a punk show after passing out with the lights still on is kinda gender

A few weeks ago, I wrote and recorded a song in about two hours. I didn't think I was going to release it - it's a sort of angst I don't like to project these days, but, well... You can thank Host for this weird mash of folk punk and hardcore that honestly fucks harder than it has any right to.

Honestly, the knowledge that all this fatigue I've been functioning under is real and has some sort of explanation is simultaneously extremely relieving and has instilled so much anger in me. I've always been a resilient creature. I've always managed despite the odds against me. I shouldn't have to.

So it turns out I've likely been functioning for the last year with vitamin D levels less than 1/3 of the minimum considered "normal"

I LOVE DOING DRUGS (the drugs are HRT) (And also weed sometimes)

UPDATE: The opening of Stella's Vintage Story server has been delayed to give the team more time for setup. In response, I'm going to be switching our Wednesday and Saturday streams around. Expect some Hades II shenanigans on Wednesday, and a new adventure in Vintage Story on Saturday! Hopefully!

The doctor stole my blood and they won't give it back :[

I adore the human tendency to look at random inanimate objects and decide they are Son. This quesadilla is Son, and I will be eating it now.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

It's my honor to announce @shiniesforgood.bsky.social, a new charity group for #ShinyHunting content creators, and our first drive - the #ICEOut Fundraiser for @immcouncil.org! Join us Feb 10th-16th as we raise money catching shiny Fire, Fighting, Rock, & Steel-type Pokémon! Discord link below!

Y'ALL check out this absolute banger from Minneapolis-based ska punk band Space Monkey Mafia! Supporting leftist art is one small way to fight fascism, and they have local mutual aid resources linked if you're in need or have the ability to donate. spacemonkeymafia.bandcamp.com/track/fuck-ice

As a VTuber who has always had politics at the center of my art and creation, I am so proud to see the community at large starting to speak up against ICE, Trump, and fascism. For so long, I've felt alone in this space. Thank you for standing up. Thank you for proving me wrong.
