My name is Kris (he/him), I'm a language teacher, mental health advocate, and owner of a PhD. I made a game: [Looking Back](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1068680/Looking_Back/). I love foreign languages and speak German, Italian, Spanish, and some minimal Dutch and Portuguese on top of English and my native French. Feel free to interact with me in those languages -- but please don't mind my accent! Topics of interest to me and that are close to my heart are animals and insects, retro Nintendo games, languages and linguistics, accessibility and disability (I'm Hard of Hearing, and suffer from severe anxiety and depression), indigenous cultures (I'm part Mohawk), diversity, minority rights and marginalized communities (I'm fiercely queer and staunchly anti-racism), indie games, drag, visual arts and literature, pedagogy, and crabs. I'm also a huge Pokémon and Mario nerd. I love discussing all of these topics so if anything sparks your interest, tell me, and let's chat!! :D

My beautiful Cocker Spaniel is named [Goomba](https://www.twitch.tv/nursegoomba/about) and loves attention, so I apologize when he gets needy during stream. He's the true star of the show, after all!

I am the very proud creator of Heart & Soul, a team of fantastic streamers who put their heart and soul into their community!

In the Krab fam… 1) No one under 18 years of age should come to the stream. 2) Lewdness and sexual talks happen, but should not take over the stream and are never in any case to be directed at someone who is not comfortable with it. 3) We care for, lift up, and support one another. We exert kindness, empathy, and compassion at all times. 4) We do not accept racism, xenophobia, homophobia, sexism, ableism, ageism, body shaming, transphobia, antisemitism, classism, and any other forms of prejudice. 5) We apologize often and we mean it! We all make mistakes, but we strive to grow. We apologize, learn, and forgive. 6) We may discuss sensitive topics like religion, politics, and sexuality. Always with empathy and thoughtfulness. 8) If we want to interact with the streamer in languages he speaks, we may do so. This stream is multilingual.

My absolute favourite way to be shown support is for you to hang out and chat with us. I'm here to be part of a vibrant community where people lift each other up. Show your support through your presence, your participation, and your kind words! If you have the financial capabilities, here are the additional ways that you can go above and beyond to support the stream, in no particular order: **1) Subscribing** 50% of the cost goes to me and 50% goes to Twitch. It allows you to bypass ads, use my 27 Tier 1 emotes everywhere on Twitch, get a sub badge, get x1.2 more channel points and x1.5 more pokédollars in PCG. Tier 2 gets access to 5 additional emotes, unlimited emote flipping, and x1.5 channel points. Tier 3 gets access to 10 additional emotes, unlimited emote flipping, pointing, sunglasses, and x2 channel points. **2) Gift subs** If you see someone you like in chat, you can target them for a gift sub, or simply donate subs to the community randomly. I'm sure they will appreciate it very much! **3) Stream Raiders skins** 50% of the cost goes to me and 50% goes to Stream Raiders. This allows you to use one of my amazing skins on any SR battles and rep the Krab Fam, and also helps us towards unlocking more skins. You can also gift skins to specific people or to random people in the community. Please note that all my proceeds of Flag Bearer sales goes to charity instead, Rainbow Railroad. **4) Donations** You may choose to directly donate funds to me through [this link](https://streamlabs.com/drkrabby). **5) Discord boosts** Boosting our Krab Fam Discord server is a useful way to support us, especially if you have Discord Nitro and have a free boost or two lying around. **6) Merch** You can browse and purchase from my [merch store](https://streamlabs.com/drkrabby/merch)! I get between 15% and 35% of the proceeds, depending on the product. **7) Bits** I get $0.01 USD per bit (so 1 US dollar per 100 bits). Bits are a fun way to support me and make fun alerts appear on my stream (list below). At specific thresholds (1k bits, 5k bits, 10k bits, etc.), you also get evolving bit badges and bit emotes to use everywhere on Twitch that stay unlocked forever. Bit alerts: - 1: Honk honk - 5: Ooh! More! - 10: Grindr - 15: Seel of approval - 20: Toasty! - 25: Britney - 30: Rip... - 33: Shantay, you stay - 34: Sashay away - 40: Game over - 45: Speak moistly - 66: Gruntilda's poetry - 69: You’ll learn respect - 75: Hype! - 99: Je m'appelle Caillou - 102: Jonathan's Theme - 103: DJ's Theme - 111: F-ck-ng b-llsh-t - 123: Cranky takes it to the fridge - 125: Belly rubs - 130: Great Mighty Poo - 133: So yummy! - 140: Gay panic - 145: Great big hug - 150: Mother Krabesa - 169: This boy is a bottom - 175: Starmie - 200: AHHH - 222: Specialist Waluigi - 250: Hi I'm Daisy - 333: A Little Bit DrKrabby - 420: Krabscares - 444: Pole Dance - 500+: Goomba and DrKrabby's happy tree - 1000: SMW Thank you!
