You might notice I'm not streaming right now lol My bank account overdrew this morning auto paying a minor bill so friends are taking me to deposit bottles and deposit bottle deposits to my bank. 🫣 I also have an offer for a free smart watch that I'm gonna see about picking up so I can start showing my heart rate on stream again because I know that was fun for all of you before and encouraged some people to interact with stream in certain ways more. I want to bring that joy back for people haha 

My payment for my storage unit bounced last night because as it would turn out - my credit card is over its limit from bills during GOTEL month unfortunately It going up another $60 a month starting this week is killlling me lol So I am really locking in on what I can revamp, things to change/try, stuff I know people want to see, potential sponsors, etc. and will otherwise be spending a lot more time looking into DoorDashing via my bicycle as soon as I get the rest of the maintanence on it done 

As well as some paid projects for groups I'm part of that I have been working on for a REALLY long time and look like they are finally coming to fruition! 🤞🏻Which won't help these bills but will help in the long run Also, I am hopeful some part time work that a friend has discussed with me will finally be available later this Summer so keeping my fingies crossed while also prepping a yard sale to downsize stuff

My merch has a promo for all of pride that auto-applies free shipping and there are discounts on access to this blog that has over 60 scheduled posts over the course of now to August (not counting the posts I'm putting back up after fixing some broken links - those go back up on Saturday of this week), and there are discounts of all sorts here on my website if you're a Twitch sub (bigger discounts depending on tier you are)

My commissions for services are open on Ko-Fi as mentioned in my other post, of course, which are things from voice work to video editing for Twitch streamers, to tarot readings - all the stuff my website's provider doesn't allow because they aren't 1 time tangible items.

And Friday Afternoon's Summer blends just came back into rotation so if you want all sorts of fun blends that haven't been available for 9-ish months~ (Code: FIERYASHES to save yourself 10%)

Not to be too much of a shill lol. Sorry! I'm not asking for straight up tips/donations especially after a month of charity efforts, but if you want to support one of your favorite queer creators during Pride Month: that wooooould be pretty cool of you and there's lots of ways to do that ⁠🥰〡how-to-support and there's new community-goals listed in the Discord have some other stuff that I thought would make things fun for everyone should they be met

Lastly, my spouse's work schedule looks like it is somewhat drastically changing and so I think I'm going to align my schedule changes I'm planning on trying for the rest of the Summer with when their schedule would be switching as well but in the mean time I'm doing a lot of research on my analytics and all that good stuff. We love data driven choices! ♥

As I change things up and reflect, if any of you have content you'd like to see days/times you'd love content available, games you'd like played or activities you'd like to engage with, Discord events you'd love to see, a silly merch idea - anything - please feel free to always drop them in suggestion-box in discord or in comments

I'm gonna stream for a couple hours this evening once I'm back from errands and I'll be streaming during the day tomorrow too - both a little Like A Dragon Gaiden and an official Summer Games Fest Co-Stream before going to a recording session in the evening

Sorry about everything 🫣 More fun things soon and hopefully a schedule people will really like ♥
