As long as they know why you called and that you're furious, that's enough. You are not a lawyer or government official or whatever, it doesn't have to be done in corpospeak or a formal speech. Call and scream if you have to.

screenshot of press release from four nations with their logos: Tlaโamin Nation; Homalco Nation; K'รณmoks Nation; Klahoose Nation. March 11, 2026 Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting. Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist. Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada. They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing. No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty. Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back. Hegus John Hackett, Tlaโamin Nation Chief Darren Blaney, Homalco Nation Chief Nicole Rempel, K'รณmoks Nation Chief Kevin Peacey, Klahoose Nation

How to make yogurt: milk a cow, homogenize + pasteurize the milk, heat up the milk again, let it get back down to 110 F, stir in some bacterial culture, let it sit for 8-12 hours, add fruit/sugar to taste.
How to make ultra-processed yogurt: Do all that and then add a drop of food coloring.

if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

a shirt design featuring a skateboarding boy who may look somewhat similar to a famous skateboarding boy from a cartoon but it's impossible to know for sure because there's a black bar over his eyes, holding his own severed head and saying "anything subversive or countercultural can and will be commodified and re-absorbed by existing social order, defanged and neutralized, reduced to an aesthetic pose. No product can ever be radical, man." in blue and red on white
My new shirt design is so powerful that part of it had to be redacted for the preview image

So... does anyone care about this? That Michael B. Jordan's parents flew to London to see their son and they left the BAFTAs in tears? That he was repulsed?
Still don't think an apology was owed? Some of you people are wretched fools.

So, there is one way around this, but it would require a lot of community coordination:
Stop being affiliates, stop being partners, and go back to direct donations as the method of creator support. The partner system was always simply something cheap and convenient for Twitch.
Text on Twitch's website saying "Verify Your Identity" "Submit proof of identity and location to receive your payout" "In order to receive your payout, you need to verify your identity through Persona, Twitch's identity verification service. You will have 3 tries. Please be ready to provide both of the following: 1. A picture of your government-issued identification card, such as an identity card, passport or driver's license. 2. A "selfie" (i.e., a picture of your face), taken using a webcam or phone camera. By clicking "Start Verification" below, you understand that you will be leaving Twitch and will be redirected to Persona's service, and further understand and acknowledge that Twitch may send Persona limited personal information about you to facilitate the identity verification process, in accordance with Twitch's Privacy Notice. Information you provide to Persona will not be used for any purposes other than to verify your identity and will not be stored for longer than necessary to fulfill this purpose. Need Help?

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4
