Stream tomorrow (March 28) from 6PM – 10PM PST! In the future I think I'll post these updates to @ally@live.allykotetsu.com, so make sure to give me a fediverse follow there!

Hello! I know I've been streaming on and off lately, but I want to get back to consistency. I have updated my Owncast with a stream calendar that shows my upcoming stream dates, as well as what the regular schedule is like. Current plans are for Friday streams from 6PM – 10PM PST. For more information check out the page! To get notified of when I'm streaming you can follow the page and get browser notifications. You can also follow ally@live.allykotetsu.com on ActivityPub enabled websites (such as Mastodon) to see when I'm live and to see when I (rarely) make posts, which will announce upcoming streams.

I've heard time and time again that MAPs need a “stonewall”.

I finally hopped onto the hype and made a Bluesky! Finally back to having a microblog I can use. The PDS is self-hosted, so they can't ban me in any meaningful way. Please hit me up with a follow if you like my old posts and want to interact with me again! I've been away from this community for a while and have been itching to get back into it. My profile is @allykotetsu.com.

Big thanks to everyone who attended last night's Christmas stream! That stream was a last minute idea, so for our next one I wanted to provide more announcement time, which will be on New Year's Eve! Come join us on New Year's Eve from 6-10 PM PST for a silly stream celebrating the turn of the year. The livestream will be at https://live.allykotetsu.com/.

Thanksgiving is a holiday I am not too fond of, not only does it lead to awkward family get together, but it is based on an event taught to us all as a lie, a continued propaganda despite the fact that most adults know it is a lie. I am referring to the colonization “discovery” of America and the “peaceful” meal shared between the native Americans and European emigrants.

Everyone is scared about a Trump presidency: women, people of color, and, what I'll be writing about in this post, queer people.

It's easy to see the election results and go doomer. No one wanted this outcome, but I think the only thing we can do is stand our ground. Don't let this change life for you. We're in a fight for our rights, so fight.

This is one of, if not the most, important American presidential elections of all time We are facing a tyrant that wants to restrict reproductive freedom, queer lives, and racial equality. If you are old enough, you can play a part in making sure the conservatives don't win this election.
