Playing minecraft on #AstraeaSMP!

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.

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.

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..

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

I know a lot of people have been struggling with stuff lately, myself included. It's difficult to see so many people that I care about struggle in so many different ways and not being able to help them do anything about it.
I hope we can all weather our individual storms together. Please take care.

I'll often get a little dopamine bump right when my brain registers that a #minecraft build is complete. I can say with 99% confidence that my Halloween build for the #AstraeaSMP server is ready. Now to wait ten days for show and tell. 🎃

This is something I've hemmed and hawed about for a few months, but finally relented. I shouldn't frown about creating an avenue for subscribers and supporters to throw me some loose change. If you have some, feel free. If you think I'm sellout, cool.

If you aren't standing up, then sit down.
The time is not to sit quietly watching as our country falls to a dictator. The time is to rise up, peacefully, with love in our hearts for a country who tolerates no kings, no dictators, no tyrants.
Please stay safe, peaceful, and strong today.

Digging out Spawn
Day 16 of my Forever World
Using iron picks (saving my diamonds for a mending enchant soon please hopefully lol), I've been digging out the spawn chunks to establish an iron farm underground.
It's not a very glamorous job, but I'm enjoying the work.

I'm so excited for the #AstraeaSMP Halloween Town Contest! The site looks amazing, and I'm pumped to see everyone's builds in one place on October 31st. 🎃 #minecraft #minecraftbuilds
The Halloween Town contest on the #AstraeaSMP is underway!
It took from September 4th to October 1st to prepare the land, build boxes, portal area, villagers and other mobs.
Thank you especially to Asumi for the sand and prep, and Rubix and Evan for helping terraform early in the process.

Hardly finished; but I've established a very large village population and am starting to work on details and landscaping around the buildings. These villagers will populate the future spawn farms to come.

What's that? #Minecraft #AstraeaSMP episode 15 is dropping 4 hours before a live stream (Oct 13, 3PM PT / 6PM ET)!? Crazy...
You won't want to miss either. We're building a mini-game on stream and this video is eye candy - in honor of Halloween, of course.

The Road from Spawn
Day 15 of my Forever World

Today I started on main roads: two to local rivers I've been using for travel, one to spawn where I've been digging underground for a future iron farm, and one in the nether to nearby biomes and resources.
