Been having intense/strange dreams recently since I started taking my meds (sertraline) before bed.

You might think that would be a reason to stop taking them at night but I'm morbidly curious about what the next one will be like.

what happened at twitchcon w/ emiru is not okay and it is the responsibility of twitch to keep creator's safe at their events and they failed.

these events should be a safe space for everyone and twitch needs to stop slacking and DO SOMETHING to protect everyone in attendance.

Emiru, who was assaulted at her meet and greet at Twitchcon, has responded.

The statement makes clear that she feels Twitch security and staff did nothing before, during, or after, and that only through her team's own action was anything done.

hello everyone, I am okay and thank you for all of the kind messages, sorry I cannot respond to them all 🩷

Yesterday, the man who assaulted me was allowed to cross multiple barriers at twitchcon and even in front of another creators meet and greet to grab me and my face and try to kiss me. Fortunately he wasn't able to, but a lot of people have pointed out it could have been a lot worse!

I'm obviously shaken up by what happened and it's not the first time I've dealt with something like this, but to tell you honestly, I am a lot more hurt and upset by how Twitch handled it during and after the fact.

Like I said, I don't understand how he was allowed to make it to me in the first place. The security in the clip who reacts is my own security (it's true my favorite and usual security guard was banned for holding a stalkers arm to bring him to police, at a past Twitchcon)

However, there were at least 3 or 4 other Twitchcon security staff in the area who did not react and let the guy walk away, as you can see in the clip since they don't even appear in the frame LOL

The woman who is walking me away is my own personal manager, and behind the booth, the only two people who were checking on me and comforting me were her and my friend. None of the Twitchcon staff came to ask what happened or if I was okay.

My friend who was present told me Twitch security were also behind the booth afterwards joking about how they didn't even see what happened and immediately laughing and moving on to talking about something else.

So if no one was checking if I was okay or if I needed anything and they let the guy run away initially, I have no idea what anyone hired to keep the event safe was doing LOL

In Twitch's statement they said that the guy was immediately caught and detained, I'm sorry but that is a blatant lie. He was allowed to walk away from my meet and greet and I didn't hear he was caught until hours after he attacked me, and it felt like this only happened because of my …

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

Sceptical about whether this extension actually contained malware or Google were just mad about it providing a useful feature that Chrome used to have anyway

Having an anonymous feedback form at work was a mistake

Interesting juxtaposition with the comment below it though

Further context: the company is based in the energy sector with an ostensible focus on the environment and sustainability

Comment from an anonymous feedback form at work "Drop DEI, Net Zero - these are very unpopular nationwide and will go when Labour lose the General Election. Company should be more open to new income streams as the ones it is tied to will be dumped in the next few years. Electric car charging points, solar farms - they will not be a thing in the future."

The comment below it says "Friendly environment"

Anyone else super embarrassed by their town being covered in flags 😫

Instead of adding to the litter in the streets, you could of cleared the pavements and recycled the rubbish

Now even the lampposts have trash on them
