PCRF Charity Stream 

I like when people set a bunch of donation milestones where they’ll do specific challenges or fun things but hit their goals immediately so have to adjust all the donation milestones they set for the stream. Not such a thing with Drawfee because they’ve done charity streams before so know a little of what to expect but still I enjoy when that happens.

Once again another lovely example of your vote, or by extension your voice/choice, matters. The voters in Michigan who put pressure on the democrats to actually do stuff about Palestine, the people in this stream slamming down the big bucks with a united ease, it's enough to make this not old not man cry. In a bee hive, our values and goals are the queen and we are the workers. The workers would struggle to live without their queen, and our values mean nothing without workers behind them. We are reliant on each other-thats why every bee matters in a swarm ❤

@@Vesperad0I don’t think that’s how bees work, but I love the sentiment. 😅 but yeah teamwork makes the dream work

As a VOD watcher, it’s super fun to pop into the stream long enough to donate at the top and then come back later to see the chaos you’ve contributed to

if ye could eat egg, would ye?

merobiba, you've done it again!

So true bestie

Sometimes I think about the enormity of my mistake and the pain and suffering I've caused closest to me, and I wonder if it's worth it to continue going. Im merobiba -Merobiba

I think in the French version, they buy consonants because vowels are clearly the prerequisite

We used to play a lot of Hangman in my French class, can confirm the best strategy was to start with every vowel.

BRAZIL MENTIONED... wait.... that was my donation!!

🇵🇸🇮🇪

I misheard it too 😂

Thank you, you brave soul, for the warning. I'm not sure my heart could've handled the stream if I had been exposed unwittingly to Cats (2019)

nooooo

fuck

I love how the top three comments are two heartfelt messages about the charity, and then this.

I thought the same thing!!😂

he can't die, it's his birthday!!

RIP drawfee variety hour, you made my 2019 a little brighter

The cake will shave a couple years off. Playing the long game. Jk. Long live Nathan and free Palestine!

Probably not the most appropriate circumstances to make a joke about random, pointless death that's impossible to avoid.

this is beautiful💛

And thank _you_ for doing that hard work!

Thank you for sharing a little bit of your story! People like you make a ton of difference in the world by accepting change and personal growth. 🇵🇸🍉❤️

proud of you for doing that work!

We love you!

"We did it again!" killed me. They sound so like, dismayed but also pleased.

I thought when Jacob asked what you said that Julia or Karina would have responded with something like “Um. A cinquedea can’t talk. It’s big knife.” Glad they didn’t, though, cos sometimes that kind of humor can come across as patronizing or…cold…hmm?

I literally downloaded twitch just to watch this stream, and then forgot and missed it anyways. 😭 thankful for the donation link in the description so people can still contribute.

I was genuinely worried about that, too. I'm glad these guys put in the effort to not let stuff like that into the community.

I wasn't worried about that at all. I know how incredibly nice their fanbase is. The only risk was random people coming in and being rude, but the mods would've squashed that immediately.

It was wonderful to see how Strongly Nathan felt about this charity stream too. Not that he didn’t care about any of the others, but this was clearly personal. Like, he always happy and there for the ride and to be support, but you can tell he treads carefully as the only (as far as I’m aware) cishet drawfee member (they mentioned this on a stream not long ago, in a hearty comedy moment where they made it clear that if all the bi/queer people were to leave the room it would just be Nathan); you can tell he wants to support without talking over and doesn’t want to step on toes (and we love him for it). But he was vibrant and the one giving as much information to help out as possible. And as shit as the whole genocide situation (and the Zionism associated with it) is, it’s really good to see what joy in the face of your oppressors can do. The drawfee charities have been a huge rock in my life lately… mostly just cuz hyperfixation and the giggles make my brain go brrr. But they’ve helped me grow and mature in my connection to my human adulthood and the way I view politics and the world

I wasn't too worried, bc he at least looks caucasian. If he appeared ETHNICALLY Jewish, that would have caused some serious concern, bc let's just call a spade a spade, the whole Palestinian thing is just being used as an excuse for racism, for some people. Is what Israel doing absolutely atrocious? Yes. Objectively. Most of the Jews catching shit are in America, though. 🙄 Also, HAMAS is doing terrible stuff, too. Just horrible Israel is attacking a whole nation over it. Well, that and territory disputes. So glad Drawfee raised money for the children in Palestine. And that the community was chill about it.

@@jf2801this is not a community for you, please go

And given the state of American liberalism, a very blunt tool at that...

Direct action may include joining demonstrations, disrupting Business as Usual for the powerful, blockading weapons manufacturers, participating in Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions. Examples of each of these and their methods are well documented on alternative news sites!

@@SashaClaudeee Thank you for the additions!! I'm very much in the camp of protest anxiety, but there are so many amazing things we can all do, no matter what our abilities are.

@werewolf1301 I absolutely get it ♡ Another option available to folks is to volunteer to help prepare for demonstrations. For my org, the PSL, I've distributed flyers, sent texts, and helped assemble signs for demonstrations I could not make it to. It's a lot quieter, but just as important. Plus, being in touch with an organization has really helped me to build a consistent politics.

Yep, voting AND direct political actions if you're in the US can be much better than donation. There are already plenty of trucks with food aid on the borders waiting to be let in Gaza right now. What's lacking is the political will to let them in. (And yes, this IS a deliberate strategy of starving civilians, something that one would hope ended in the Middle Ages)

I politely disagree that the world is getting increasingly intolerant. I never thought i'd see such an outpouring of support for Palestine, when everyone i'd talk to about it when i was younger would do the "it's too complicated for me to have an opinion" (this was before the term 'take') thing. Now, that's been squashed. People can see the horrors; the genocide. They can see how uncomplicated it really is, in real time. When i was younger, being trans wasn't at all accepted. I didn't even know it was really a thing until i was a young adult. And the horrible things and slurs i heard were constant. It was maybe the most transphobic era of TV, as youtuber Lily Simpson has explored in depth. Now, there is undeniably more acceptance than there was then. More openness and understanding. It's just more polarized. Some people have gotten worse; more scared, because of that progress. Because LGBTQ+ people are more visible, and gaining rights and recognition. But the majority have gotten better. And we have seen an uptick of hate and violence with the vileness being spewed by the terrified bigots, but that will only lead to an increase in tolerance, in the end. Most people will see those horrific acts and realize how wrong they are and to be more tolerant. To oppose them. Now there is the threat of fascism to worry about, and the hateful people getting all the power if we don't oppose them everywhere we can. And even the less-hateful ones are still largely complicit in genocide. We're not there yet. But the world's getting more tolerant. It's getting better in a lot of ways. Climate denialism has gone from the norm to fringe. Islamophobia has dropped off a lot, at least in the US (obviously not the case everywhere, given... ongoing genocides and concentration camps). I get to fight to be recognized and addressed as nonbinary. 15 years ago, i never would have thought that could ever happen except among close, tolerant groups. Not a fight i could ever even hope to *wage* in the world at large. It's still a fight, but it's one with far more allies than i ever dreamed. Progress is real, and we just need to keep fighting for more.

@@origami_dream I completely agree, it's where people in this generation have come to realise that ruling classes and governments aren't actually there to represent the people as a whole like we've all been told under democracy, but that there's a class non-alignment on major issues like wars, exploitation, and inequality. I say this generation because there's always fluctuation in the political climate and there was a much more established (maybe less socially conscious but nonetheless visible) left wing movement in the 20th century due to similarly radicalising events as we see today with the overturning of Roe v Wade, the genocide in Palestine, or the restriction of trans rights. It's a time where politician's agendas are the most transparent to us in our lifetimes, no matter where they say they sit on the political spectrum. It's profit before people when faced with a conflict like this, and an example of even left wing politicians selling out is here in Australia where our often seen as progressive party, the Greens, are still being protested for taking down their Palestine flag in one of the offices despite supporting pro Palestine rallies across the country! It's the kind of issue that (very similar to the anti war movement in Vietnam) desperately needs the spirit we see nowadays, and people should really harness that to pressure politicians into submission. Whilst I really don't think pushing for reforms will ever get many of our societal issues solved, it's far too convenient and cheap in the current system for exploitation/bigotry/cruelty to be fully abandoned, but its wonderful to see so many people coming to the realisation that governments have been selling a lie of these 'western ideals' like progression, rights, peace, and equality because clearly this doesn't hold up in foreign relations, let alone even inside those specific nations.

You forgot: 00:00:03 some sick beats

@@turoni314I’ll add

@@turoni314added

I was gonna comment “Uhhh Jacob made those beats not turoni” 😂 instead I read the comments and commented about commenting

@@Willyazaa🤣 totally understandable

Have you considered getting a hecked up medieval cat? There are plenty of those lol

lol i do that all the time, i always forget to refresh at the time the stream starts

Don't think that has anything to do with age. Like, literally no one has time to do everything. Personally I never watch stuff live because of time difference, so I didn't know that either until now.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@M.Daturathey said “not knowing how Twitch works” though, it wasn’t about time ^^

@@VultureSkins You realise I was responding to the original comment, right?

@@M.Daturayes, I was quoting that comment.
