I am hoping for a wholesome, fun place for this channel. We are all about love, kindness, and respect.
**1 - Love and inclusion:** People of all identities are welcome here. There is zero tolerance for hate, discrimination, and harassment. Please avoid any negative self-talk - self-deprecating humor has a tangible impact on how you perceive yourself.
**2 - Off limits:** This channel is meant to be an escape from the real world. Please be mindful of discussion about current events. If your politics involve taking away human rights, you are not welcome here.
**3 - Spamming/Solicitation:** Please respect the time and attention of your fellow viewers. No self promo. Please be mindful of triggering topics and avoid trauma dumping. We are happy to help you get the help you need if you are in distress.
**4 - Respect the mods:** The moderators are here to guarantee everyone a safe and enjoyable experience. Please allow them to do their jobs without interference.
I am proudly a part of YOUphoria, a Twitch stream team of nonbinary and gender non-conforming content creators. We are here to uplift each other and to show this space that there is no “correct” way to look or be how we identify.
Our name, YOUphoria, is meant to bring a focus to you being the source of your own euphoria. Only you know what makes you thrive and feel valid in your identity.
I usually stream Wednesday or Thursday evenings starting around 7pm and Sundays at noon (Eastern Time)
I always post updates in the Discord. Let me or one of the mods know if you want to join the server!
Hey you, do you like my Linguini emotes? You can get merch of the lil gorl **[right here](https://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/TurtTay/)**.
*Did I forget to add something?* Let me know what to add! I can probably do it if you can wait another few days!
###Some recommendations for merch:
-Get a sticker and put it on your forehead
-Acquire three shirts and wear them all like a really thicc shirt
-Pick out your favorite color of hoodie and put it on your cat as a comically large piece of clothing (unless your cat is comically large, in which case it would fit I guess?)
**[Blue Sky](https://bsky.app/profile/turttay.bsky.social)** - I post go-live notifications, cute pics of dogs and nature, and whatever I thought about in that split second before falling asleep on Blue Sky (get hecked, Elon)
**[YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@turttay)** - Watch full let's plays and gaming highlights on my YouTube channel. I promise it's fun stuff!
