Today I did a rare thing: I did a livestream on twitch.
With the Gender Federation, I was part of a looooong (going on til Sunday) raid train to raise mutual aid funds for a trans-owbed clinic for gender affirming care.
Things I knew before this stream:
It is stressful
I always expect to screw everything up
I will be exhausted afterwards
I will be in a lot of pain afterwards
I was only there to fill in space between good and experienced streamers, while the americans slept
(Therefore) I wasn't going to raise much money, but that's ok because that wasn't my main task
Notes for post-stream:
I didn't fuck anything up. Even the stuff I never did before worked (despite taking a minute to figure out how to use nightbot for a giveaway, I got it and continued to get it done for the others)
I raised hardly anything, but I alsocheated and made sure 3 ppl (instead of the 1 that should have for what was raised) got rewards from me personally, on top of the scheduled stream rewards 🫢😆
As long as I have a list, I can and will talk about writing forever (my stream for 2hrs)
But I do like answering people's questions as well, especially when it helps them or is entertaining
My source of happiness today was your Substack 🫶 And also that beautiful photo of Peppur living her best life! 😆🥳
Enjoy the closing stage of your 2023 Perth stay Lauren & roll on the next. A whole new year of 2024 adventures lie ahead- how exciting 😆😍🥳! Ps. Glad to hear you are keeping the snacking industry in business Lauren😂...I’m fulfilling my duties here on the Emerald Isle, you’ll be glad to know 😆😆

Whenever Cuddles posts in chat it makes me happy
Today the pain and exhaustion is worth it
I'm happy I did the thing
There, I made a list for you 😁
I truly smiled throughout the second part of this 🧡 how lucky anyone tuning in was!

HAHA! Between the two of us we are supporting a lot of snack businesses and that is just being a good person, isn't it? 🧡🧡
