100% as a native person im begging yall to drop spirit animal from your vocab if you're non-native. I dont even use spirit animal because i dont even have one. you cant take online tests to figure yours out, its ceremonial to tribal location based. its not yours to use.
if a streamer has helped you get to where you are on your journey but you treat them like they're nobody now/refuse to talk about them because you fear they'll steal your viewers- you have in fact exploited that person. other streamers are not your stepping stones.
in a world where discoverability for small streamers especially is nonexistent, making them feel bad for yes, advertising their channel is weird
I don't even do this but I'm all for people getting their names out there, it's harmless. I think we shouldn't discourage people 🤷🏽♀️
Don't slap your Twitch handle across the middle of your clip. It turns the content you made into a desperate ad for your channel and reduces shareability.
Let the content stand on its own. If people like it, they will share it and watch more from you.
reminder pepe and peepo emotes are used in alt-right spaces to target poc, LGBTQIA+ and jews
it's a symbol of hate and has been used to target hate towards these groups. there is no reclaiming it because the damage has and is still being done
we're 8 days into
#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
and
@twitch
has yet to acknowledge it
it's extremely exhausting battling constant erasure. Indigenous streamers deserve so much more than this, we're here creating content too. we also deserve to be highlighted and recognized!
insta saw it first but all body types are beautiful so im finally trying to not care about mine and heal from my ED and the beauty pressures from society 😊
i have a tummy and its cute and no i dont wanna work out. i dont wanna feel like the way i look is gross anymore❣️
TELL your favorite streamers they're your favorite. tell them what their streams mean to you, how you feel when you're there ect
as streamers were super hard on ourselves and light boolying is fun and all but getting genuine compliments like that help our mental health so much
if more non-native streamers also spoke up about how
@twitch
has neglected to acknowledge indigenous people exist i think we'd gain more traction
but im seeing a lack of it. yall, we deserve recognition just like everyone else, twitch hasnt posted anything about NAHM
hi im not picking on anyone but my disability makes me unable to use dark mode on certain apps and websites
i know people are just joking but i get "ew lightmode" constantly from others and its honestly really exhausting. i just wanna remind you that IS an ableist reaction!
i get feeling like twitch is high school but you're all missing the actual point that a lot of us have REAL established friendships with eachother. thats not what a "clique" means no matter what you may feel
hard pill to swallow but you are not entitled to anothers inner circle
this is all i wanna say, and just... dont be fooled into his game. his community is not safe for women
he abuses his power of being a well liked streamer so he can prey on/form parasocial bonds with his community
this is also why i dont check in on others mental health anymore:
treat people who are grieving with patience, if a mourner tells you they cant do something dont assume their motives. grieving is so hard, its exhausting just to function. like yall dont understand how much i wanna just stay in bed for the rest of the year but i know i cant
i think its important as content creators to make sure your community doesnt pedestal you. you are capable of making mistakes and handling situations poorly, your community should understand and know you're imperfect. allowing them to pedestal you is extremely dangerous
instead of being passive aggressive to people posting recaps (which a lot didnt know about the strike today) you could've taken that time to educate them instead. your fellow advocate is not the enemy here
direct your aggravation and anger at the right people, call your reps
some of yall (white streamers) only mention bipoc when it's for performative engagement
yall don't show up for actual bipoc streamers, engage with our posts, uplift us, or even speak out when it's not to make yourself look better
we know if yall actually come around just sayin
reminder to support native streamers since twitch wont. If you want to see me reach goals, then you have to be there for the journey, not the end result
theres only so much i personally can do when a whole website is against supporting me and what i do because im not profitable
please dont assume why someone is or isnt doing something, especially on social media. people, myself included, are going through really hard times irl right now and were just trying to surround ourselves with any positivity to balance out the bad
as streamers please do not imitate having a safe mental health space just because you see others doing it. know your limits and boundaries
the second you open that door and approach someone struggling- if you cannot handle it, backing away causes way more harm than good!
interesting how
@twitch
can fire off multiple tweets screamin about kpop but cant retweet or uplift indigenous streamers
my video remains relevant
#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
should be talked about
go support native streamers since we got the most borin QRT reponse in history
we're 8 days into

twitch: (is founded by americans, have american CEOs, headquarters is located on native land ect)
also
@twitch
during november: (pretends they dont know indigenous people exist and what native american heritage month is even tho it's existed into american law since 1990)
I wanna thank my community for helping me get this PC
I will forever be grateful for the belief you have in me and the energy I throw into the universe. this PC is a product of the pure generosity my community embodies
It was funded by you and built by
@KaiinRetsu
♡
with that video circling around just wanna remind people there are a handful of us in the community currently who have lost a parent or sibling in the past 4 weeks
we isolate ourselves from people because were afraid that someone will react the same way that dude did
just a reminder when a streamer is celebrating an anniversary, a goal or a birthday please dont come into the stream and allow your jealousy and envy get the best of you. guilting streamers because you dont have the same as them is not that streamers fault
Im happy there's a pride guild now but for how long we've been pressing twitch for an official indigenous guild and been told basically "no too bad there's not enough of you"
im feeling more invisible than ever on this website
its really hard to keep caring when they dont care
anyways the only thing i care about is that
@twitch
still hasnt acknowledged native american heritage month. me and tons of other natives have been carrying this month on our backs by raiding each other and spreading visibility.
if this enrages you, it should. its fucked up.
I have trust issues with men who i considered to be great friends with, dropping me once i become unattainable
Its shitty im still going through this years later. If you cant be happy for me then we were never truly friends, which hurts
im allowed to be with someone whose not u
i dont like to make big deals out of this for followbot fears but we officially hit 4k 🥺 this may not seem like a lot to some but last year i lost all my followers after initially hitting 1k. I gained 2k back last year and 2k more before the end of this year. im very grateful.
its november which means its officially
#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
! like every year since 2020 I'll be raiding into only native streamers this month since twitch doesnt care about us to give us front page privileges
so support native content creators♡
im tired of feeling like I cant say certain things in fear ima hurt yalls feelings lol so ima just start saying them
im tired of bipoc not getting more opportunities but the same white people get everything
im tired of not seein more bipoc hit partner plus/partner in general
my whole twitch revolves around normalizing mental health in online settings
so i dont understand why some people have decided figuring out whether im in a relationship or not is more important to them than that???
that has absolutely nothing to do with my twitch content
hi just wanna remind people that even tho i do use she/her pronouns i also use they/them and theres a lot of people who still refuse to acknowledge the they/them part
i know i look very female girly woman but im still genderfluid so please dont default me to she/her cause im not
blocked out every name that wasnt mine for consent purposes but this is why im not gonna sit here and praise
@Twitch
for makin that RT yesterday
this month cant sneak up on you, it happens the same time every single year since the 90s
im tired of allowing them to think its okay
we officially hit my pc goal last night!!! 🥺🥹😭
words cannot express how truly thankful and lucky i am to have the community i do. you all believing in me doesnt go unnoticed, im only able to do the things i can because of all of you
thank you from the bottom of my heart 🩷
yesterday i had a regular spoil a movie reveal to me, and after i expressed i didnt know about it and it was a spoiler, they decided to back n forth argue with me over it instead of apologize
they were banned
I just wanna remind yall to read and familiarize yourself with rules
i wanna thank you all for reaching out and sending your love. I cant respond to everyone but i just wanted to say that i appreciate it
im not okay and i dont think i ever will be but thank you all for supporting me
today is orange shirt day, a day of rememberance for residential school survivors. my grandma survived a residential school so i wear orange for her and the other indigenous children who didnt get to come home. id love to see orange shirts today from my community🧡
hi sorry i was mia, was dealing with someone lashing out at me over their imaginary version of me
i am not whatever you perceive me to be, dont try and take down my character over a fantasy
stream is back today but im not in a good headspace and havent been for the past 2 days
was dreading going to sleep all last night...
anyway, todays my brothers funeral so I'll be mia today and especially tomorrow
thank you everyone for checking in on me. life can be cruel and unfair and honestly im struggling a lot but i just want you all to know i love you
hi yes, please put captions in your stream, i also recommend to not use the twitch extension ones since they arent user friendly to the ones who actually need them! i use pixelchat so the captions stay on my vods and clips. everyone should get to enjoy stream not only able-bodied
Hey, would y'all mind adding captions to your streams? You can download easy little programs & customize them to match your vibe! The automatic caption widgets you set up through Twitch are often fidgety & don't always work.
Consider taking just a few minutes to do this 💜
i didnt want a cake, but i humored my parents for having brought me one anyways
thank you everyone, i didnt officially celebrate this year but the outpour of love regardless for me was substantial
i made my wish for you all instead✨️
omg I'm going through my laptop and I took this back when I did the NCA gotta grow fast charity event
this was my modern sonic cosplay I did for my stream
also keep an eye on
@twitch
twitter... wanna see if they even acknowledge this month at all cause it will be quite ironic
we've informed them for months, they had plenty of time to throw something together and refused to.. ive gotten no emails from them/nothings happening
i still get together and eat with family but i do not celebrate lies created around this day
what i do celebrate is a time to give my gratitude and thanks
so i wanna start off by thankin all my mods for helping my streams run smoothly. yall are beacons for the community equally
im not leaving twitch, i dont wanna start all over from scratch again. all support to those that leave but i just want a platform that actually listens and pays us for what we actually put in and give
twitch is flawed but it can be good if they just stopped focusing on bullshit
also just wanna say, please dont start stressing others out with suggesting they gotta create content on 20 other platforms
this is about twitch. we want twitch to be better- lets focus on that. side content can be good, but im not spreading grind culture propaganda right now
situations like cole's hits close to home, as it does for many indigenous peoples. my oldest brother had so many non-natives attack him for having long hair as a child. he was made to feel ashamed from all the harassment he endured...
im proud of him that he wears it long
retweeting this to moreso tell people to read the comments/qrts to show yall people actually do use lightmode for disability reasons
this is why i dont like when people make lightmode jokes in my stream. me and others need it to see so this right here is ableist
my depression makes me unable to clean my stream room for months BUT
i finally did last night and got around to rearranging some shelves and adding new things yall have gifted me over the weeks 🥺
hi im sorry i didnt tell yall properly that last night was my last stream till i come back from break
here's my discord announcement since it has all the information and i don't wanna type again ♡
just got told my cousin passed
he came out to the wake with my aunt when my brother passed cause they were close
everything feels heavy and im refeeling things of that day.. if I stream later its cause I want distraction
this was him right after our wake and him w/my brother
if poc streamers got half the attention as white streamers did things would be really cool
a lot of us do the same things as them, even better, but we get overlooked because people dont wanna engage with us in fear they'll say something "wrong"
just exhausted from the same ol
i took this screenshot last year on january 1st so i could see my progress throughout 2022, heres my new 2023 screenshot. I dont always notice my hardwork so i thought if i did this i could actually be nicer to myself
this was awesome to see for myself
this is a "i protect adriana and amouranth" account
ive learned this week that even if you're going through the worst possible things, shitheads will limit your traumas to 0 if you do sex work/have OF. im actually sick of it, yall dont see women as people so im about to fight
i cant listen to my brothers music still because hearing his voice brings me to tears but I was able to find the strength to watch this video from 10 years ago..
he was incredibly talented and driven and i just wish every single day that this wasnt real. I miss seeing him smile
it doesnt feel like its been 1 year
every day since you left ive been stuck in a timelooped daze, 2023 felt like it never existed. I've just been reliving the same week over and over...
it should've been me, not you. you were going places and making something of yourself..
some positive things since ive moved in with ramscal
• I have energy to clean our home every thursday and keep up with house work so it remains clean
• Im able to do the dishes. He cooks and I clean
• I do our laundry and fold it same day, I enjoy this
• I can actually sleep
I wanna thank the actual community for speaking up, we gained enough traction to be heard by
@twitch
because of all of you these past 8 days
but they still need to do better. they had a full year to plan something, this month happens the same time each year, there's no excuses
i have never done this, but i think this year i wanna finally celebrate my own streamiversary. i didnt feel like it was worth celebrating before since the followbot situation took everything from me
its not happening till july 2nd but it'll be my 6 years on twitch this year 👉🏼👈🏼
🥺 think were gonna say fuck what my house says (since i rent my house) and get a kitty. going to register her as an emotional support animal considering /everything/
ive missed my kitty so much since she passed, so with my brother passing having another one would help so much
idk how to braid my hair at all but i literally just tried so i can stand as a community with cole today. this whole situation is truly heartbreaking, ive cried & saged in cole's rememberance
our hair is sacred, i wear my braids for cole & the many whose braids were cut/attacked
I'll be going on break starting the 15th till the 24th
I'll be streaming my brother's actual copy of Resident Evil 2 Remake on the 14th to remember him
Because idk when I can comfortably celebrate my birthday ever again this is how I'd like to start my bday week going forward
i cant wait to spend my birthday with you all tomorrow on stream. i just need the distraction before these next couple weeks.. plus yeah first birthday without my brother here so its gonna be a tough one. see you all tomorrow 🩷
good morning friends ♡
just wanna say thank you for making my last birthday centered stream special. i wont be celebrating my birthday anymore till ive healed more, so ty for all the kind words, the raids, and just being there. i was able to actually sleep since his passing

yall see what indigenous people have to go through?
why do we need other people to VOTE for an indigenous heritage month to be a thing on twitch? like you see how bad this looks? we need to have voter acknowledge to know us as a people exist on their platform? hello????

its officially gay time!! so happy gay month 🌈
im pansexual 🩷💛💙
im also genderfluid 🩷🤍💜🖤💙
so please really try to start remembering when referring to me to not call me a woman. it bothers me a lot when i get "most beautiful woman" comments, im not a woman ty 😊
trigger warning
i better not see ANYONE in my community making jokes about amouranth. I dont take abuse lightly at all. this is legit terrifying, im worried for her. this is why i constantly talk about how you never know whats going on with streamers behind the scenes.
Amouranth has revealed that she has a husband, along with revealing his abuse
He has threatened to kill her dogs, take all their money, and forced her to stream.
(1/4)
just got off the phone with my mom and we talked about my brother (we gotta finish cleaning out his apartment this week) so now im having a very sad day. heres hoping for a better tomorrow 😊🙏🏼

Stop by and get to know me and my community!
i wanna express another thought: grief has changed me, im not the same alina you all knew prior
who i am today is a very sad individual whose lost + clouded
i feel very pressured a lot lately cause some arent accepting this and expecting me to be who i was before everything
on another note today is Truth & Reconciliation Day in canada.
my grandma was a residential school survivor, so i will be wearing orange later today for her and especially for those who never got to make it home
this day is always hard but we stay trying to heal from this 🧡
last night i finally platniumed bloodborne with the help from my community 🙌🏼
bloodborne was the game that got me to affiliate in 2018, it gave me my first raid & was my first taste into an active chat
It means so insanely much to me that i felt compelled to plat it on stream
LRT
I encourage people to lurk, even my mods. you arent expected to talk the whole time you're spending time with me. sometimes we just wanna vibe and watch/listen. dont be mean to your lurkers please, they dont have to lurk you at all
I opened up in yesterdays stream about things ive been going through irl so watch the vod for full clarification
but im moving to get away from my mentally abusive ex who i still live with
im thankful for my community, my bf and anyone whose been by my side during this time ty
hi frens, so my moving date might be a lot sooner than previously stated
its going from october to possibly may/june now!
ive been living in a very uncomfortable environment for years, which ill explain more later on, but any help is appreciated ♡
thankies for ALL the love tonight, you all helped make a huge difference. we ended out the charity with having raised 1,630 for
@afspnational
(more than we did last year!)
im so thankful for continuing to be able to normalize people living with suicidal tendencies♡
my 2 cents, people who already have a platform and don't need to do anything to get their channel out there- shouldn't be giving smaller streamers advice on how they get discovered
we are all not on the same playing field here, we are not given the same tools to succeed
We're live with the Gonna Grow Fast event raising money for

i know today is hard for a lot of people hell this month hasnt been nice but in case someone hasnt told you at all today...
i love you and id be really sad if you werent around!! 🩷
I gots to meet
@KaiinRetsu
and
@SkyeLihT
yesterday and I'm love them so much. I cant wait to plan an actual longer meet up next time so we can have more time together
as we close another chapter on native american heritage month i wanna give a special shoutout to the twitch women's guild for coming together and helping spread an extremely large amount of love to my stream team/indigenous streamers by surprise raiding us
mvto, im so thankful♡
