Playing minecraft on #AstraeaSMP!
Sometimes, I'll post my artwork too.

Drawing since 1984. Gaming since 1987. With my partner since 2009. MC since 2017.

Suddenly grateful that my lifetime hobbies of backpacking, foraging, hunting and fishing have come in clutch. My entire family is now looking to me for prep tips. Here's my basic guide.
I'm still alive, still protesting and fighting for justice. I've been detained again last week, and released from the hospital a few days ago.

I'm already calling my reps again until I'm strong enough to go back out and protest.

The ICE activity in Philly and surrounding areas gets worse daily.

When your white friends abandon you because you're too political... your melanated friends keep their distance because you are a target and they're scared to hang, and your only source of comfort is a terrified partner you're trying to keep calm for...

Spoke with Gov Shapiro's aide again today.

He informed me this morning that they already know that the Lenape Nation has still yet to be recognized in PA.

This is not okay!!! Silence is opression.

In honor of MLK, who advocated for justice and equal rights for oppressed people, I contacted Gov Shapiro, AG Sunday, and Lt AG Davis today to let them know it's so wrong that the Lenape Nation still has yet to be recognized in PA.

Now is my chance! Most of the big #Minecraft creators are distracted with #Hytale!

Are you open to exploring something new? Look no further... 😉

What makes things sad for me is friends who once spoke to me daily now avoiding me because I fight something they'd rather ignore.

I am the same generous loving passion i always was. And what made you love me in peace, you now turn away from in war.

All those that said I was exaggerating, that I was making a big deal of nothing also ignored me when I said Trump will start a war before the end of 2025. Okay. my prediction was off by THREE DAYS but where are the apologies for calling me a fear mongerer?

I know patterns. I see data.

Even if you're using (generative) AI for things that may be funny or enjoyable, this is still the problem.

AI data centers use small amounts of water for simple actions, however majority of people don't use it this way; they use it for videos, images, or to cheat on homework.

JUST STOP USING IT.

I made my first Christmas tree of all time last year on the Astraea SMP. This year, I've decided to learn more about building trees with a small village containing 7 custom trees in a creative world.

Here's my journey so far.

... you know what? I realized that I really don't post screenshots here, and I should. Pictures are faster to look at than a whole 20 minute video.😅

Here are some of my favorite angles from my latest build: a Roman style bathhouse. #minecraft #minecraftbuilds

No matter how good or bad your year, no matter where you live or what you celebrate... Wishing you find some joy this holiday season. 💙

Was crying tears of joy at the blue wave last night and how much more talking points it will give me when I'm writing my speeches. I'm so excited to get to work in DC and pressure the congress to do their job.

Here's some updates about my preparation!

Y'all, I know it's a pain in the butt (depending on the state), but please go vote if you can. At least read what'd you'd be voting on.

There are a surprising amount of high stakes items that can appear on ballots. As much as you might not think it matters, please make your voice heard.

Voting day in my state. Let's send a clear message.

Thanks to everyone who set up, participated, hung out, built, etc. for the #astraeaSMP Halloween Build Contest! There were some wonderful builds showcased today and it was fun playing games and hanging out with people. <3

I'm glad everyone liked my little ghosties too. Happy Halloween! #minecraft 👻

This is my face.

If they arrest me, know I've done nothing illegal.

I plan to follow every law to the letter about how I can protest and where. I've got maps telling me where I can be.

I've got regulations knowing how many people can assemble around me before I move (30 people, please don't..

I can no longer hide behind minecraft and stick my head in the sand.

I will be protesting in Washington DC starting next week. Thank you all for the fun and games, and for distracting my stressed out mind.

It's time for me to put my feet where my mouth is and do something to make a change.

Thanks for coming to hang out while I struggled to build in the air, and for sharing your ideas for my "Llama-Based PVP Arena™ " project! I really liked how this little hot air balloon turned out... I might build a few non-Halloween ones around my base as well. #minecraft #astraeaSMP
