TwitchCon = NEW FRIENDS and so many treasured memories. Here's a THICC THREAD of #TwitchConSanDiego stuff to spare your timeline!

My pancreas attracts every other pancreas in the universe with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

This is a baby step, not a step backwards. Nobody who's discussing their life & experience as a minority in good faith is getting censored. This is specifically targeting vitriol and politics. Sincerely, a Jew who wishes Twitch would just drop Hasan, but this is a start.

@BeccaBeckery @TwitchSupport Read. The. Guidelines. safety.twitch.tv/s/article/Cont…

We have made some updates to our policy language to better clarify what needs a "Politics and Sensitive Social Issues" Content Classification Label (CCL). We want to make clear that you don’t need to label your stream if you’re talking about your lived experience. We’ve made this clearer in our CCL guidelines, which are linked below. We’ve also clarified that a label is only required if discussion of the listed topics is the focus of the stream. Our goal here, as with any CCL, is to give viewers and brands more info about what’s happening on a particular stream, so that they can make an informed decision about what to watch and where to engage. link.twitch.tv/PSSIContentCla…

@lomadia So, did you actually read the Content Classification guidelines? Because I would love to know which specific parts you think will be used to punch down on LGBTQ communities, when it's so clearly aimed at political advocacy and vitriolic speech.

@MayTwitch Dude. It doesn't matter what it's aimed at if it allows "both sides" type arguments. I've been around 15+ years in content and have seen this before - it's very naïve of you to think that this won't be weaponised against LGBTQIA+ communities or other hate raid targets.

But what about if I want to discuss and celebrate my community and THEIR lived experiences? It's better than it was, but it needs more. You can't push out reactionary changes like this - never works - but clearly their hand was forced. Bigots will use these rules to punch down.

@lomadia Dude. Calm down. This is aimed at people who literally spend all day on Twitch ranting and raving about politics. (Response to the Hasan drama.) Re. Lax. You aren't being silenced. Nor is book club. Unless they're going on anti-Semitic rants and glazing terrorists.

just remembered book clubs exist on Twitch and let out such a loud honk of mild hysteria that I injured my own throat

@NonTrotski This time they're looking East instead of South: at MSG, Rudy said Palestinians learn to kill Americans at 2 yrs old, and yeah there's probably some good Palestinians, but Kamala's gonna bring them to YOU.

In 2016 trump said Mexico was sending their murders and rapists, but some were fine people. This time, he left out the fine people, then campaigned wearing a garbage man costume after one of the speakers at his rallies called all of Puerto Rico garbage. This should not be close

In 2016 I was pained because I felt like trump effectively tricked huge swaths of the country, that he won because Clinton failed to look like she cared as much as him. But if he wins this time, I will feel like the country deserves it. This shouldn't even be close

@AllyMalinenko @JoshuaAndrews72 Interested to know what you think about this discussion @JimTheLibrarian, since Ally here is gatekeeping the conversation to LIBRARIANS ONLY. What I see here is a tweet about a *private* fantasy-library, and a very miserable public librarian who doesn't see patrons as people.

@AllyMalinenko Guys she uses X in light mode instead of dark mode 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

@AllyMalinenko You realize this *nightclub vs library* comparison conjures the image of a PRIVATE establishment, right? A place that you can go for free, enjoy the atmosphere, and purchase refreshments. Reading is hard though, I get it. Context is important!

You don’t know anything about libraries apparently

Two words: private library. Nightclub - $ Fantasy library - $ NOWHERE DOES IT SAY FREE OR PUBLIC. This tweet caught my eye because it's a "librarian" who is gatekeeping the concept of libraries, not to mention the ability to have opinions about them. Miserable humans. 🤧

@AllyMalinenko @JoshuaAndrews72 Hey @StephenKing do YOU work at a library? No? Then I'm sure Ally couldn't care less about whether you like her book.

@AllyMalinenko @SarahJDaley That's ridiculous. Only trashy libraries tolerate this. Maybe yours does. ;) This tweet & all of your replies are negative & gatekeepy. 🤢🤮 dO yOu wOrK At A LIbrArY? As if patrons are all NPCs. The quote is sounds like teen dreaming. Let 'em dream.

@SarahJDaley Sometimes they have quiet. Most times they have kids playing loud video games on the computer

@therealcliffyb I tell everyone that this is a Zelda FOR people who prefer the puzzling over the combat. So it's definitely not the Zelda for CliffyB.

I've loved Nintendo all my life and Zelda but, NGL, just can't get into the new one. I play a Zelda game for action and adventure, not stacking benches on crates and pushing trees.

@big666ontwitch Back hurt brain static want food and cat

How's everyone feeling post twitchcon

@MeredithMarks0 This is the first time a RHO show has made me cry. 🥹 Mazel Tov!!

Beyond excited to read the Torah 💖 #RHOSLC

Alright. Confession time. I iced @therealcliffyb on Thurs. 😭 Stood to my right and tried to make friendly convo, but he caught me RIGHT after I'd shut down a creepy guy, so my walls were UP UP UP. Anyhow CliffyB, MY BAD. 😅 You and @BlitzBladeVX rocked it at Whiskey Girl! 🙇‍♀️

P.S. Friday fit featuring @teddyfresh Looney Toons crop! 🐻 ☮️+💜 🐻

Now THIS was surreal. There were people waiting in line for my crochet session "Dare to Granny Square: Crochet 101." EVERY seat was filled!! Thanks to everyone who came, and especially those who found me afterwards to tell me they enjoyed. 🙇‍♀️ THANK YOU @Twitch FOR HAVING ME!
