Hi! On the wider WorldWideWeb I go by Arilla. I don't use my account to post much, but I like to keep up with people.
Born in the 80s & tireder every year.
@AustinHarrisIA People in the comments need to remember that rights are to protect people from discrimination, not to enable it against people they think aren’t like them
@TwitchSupport Why weren’t we given 7 days notice to highlight this week’s VODs??
I’m going to lose good things from this week because it’s not possible for me to downsize overnight.
And why not let people subscribe to pay for storage temporarily?
I will say that im impressed I can log in and post from my 9 year old phone.
They really did just keep the old coding huh?
I’m on bsky under my same name as my g mail, if I find ppl there I’ve been adding them
I logged in to write a message @ twitch abt my issue with their abrupt storage system change
(I made some good videos this week — which I can’t highlight b/c Suddenly there’s a cap on highlights)
That site sux this site sux lol
@Twitch@TwitchSupport
Why not 7 days for us to make our last #twitchhighlights before blocking us from adding more?
I want to highlight last week’s streams, but it will take weeks to get under 100 hours and the VODs will expire
@trappuccino It would have to be a pretty nice place for me to be as nice as that guy.
It would also be better if they WARNED you. Not that it’s easy when you’re coming on a plane, but maybe you would have been able to take a sleeping bag along or something.
@kathmachine I feel u in all this.
Before I got on anti-depressants the decay of things just preoccupied SO much of my thoughts for a while.
Good things in the future have got to be possible. I hope they show themselves soon!
I’ve still been too lazy to go adding ppl elsewhere (& I don’t think I have a lot of ppl who are looking for me to keep tabs) but yea wow lol.
The descent continues~
I don’t think I ‘keep myself a little sad’ to avoid it—but I don’t always express myself for sure. & I pick the ppl I surround myself with v selectively, which means sometimes there’s No One available to get hype with me (w/ so few friends). I’m very vulnerable to feeling lonely.
I used to get SO excited under certain circumstances with certain groups of trusted ppl—but often with “I was REALLY annoying”/“I messed up” thoughts after. . Or saw it in the moment & had that sudden sobering experience. It sux.
One of the cruelest things about Autistic/ADHD masking is that you learn to treat positive emotions as a warning sign that you're about to do something "wrong" and that it is therefore "safest for everyone" if you maintain a constant, low-key negative internal emotional state.
For anyone who needs further clarification- we touched on the subject with helpful resources for negotiating extensively here

But even tho I love to use tools like character creators in games or to stage my lil dolls. . . I definitely still get something from the Experience of drawing (or writing RP). So. I’m pretty sure I’d still do that.
Discoursé:
If someone’s concept can be rendered to their satisfaction using AI, then I probably didn’t want 2 draw it 4 them anyway.
But ppl being ripped off isn’t cool. I imagine the quality of original new art (not remixed) we’re gonna b able to view online is abt to be Less.
Art for me doesn’t have much to do with technique—I really do just want to make things that can show other ppl what’s in my head. . If I could have a personal AI to train on my own art I would love to use that to supplement the hard work. Lmao.
@DwnJow That’s the point, isn’t it? This hasn’t got a bearing on them b/c they won’t be in the artist’s position... Understanding how much it’s worth to own ALL rights to an illustration is something artists should know—but if you’re not one... ??
Of course in the mismatch between price expectations and value expectations, it’s up to people who do the work to bargain for what they need, & sometimes they are in a vulnerable position. Maybe a min wage equivalent to protect freelancers from being coerced would help.
@marriedken There are jobs in every pay level for artists, yes—freelancers aren’t wage workers, so minimum ‘wage’ doesn’t apply.
This company COULD have afforded the quality of work they initially sought-out—but won’t pay for that. So they won’t get it.
