This is the second person that I’ve dealt with in all the years that I’ve been livestreaming whose behavior has been inappropriate enough to warrant the intervention of law enforcement. Their police department has been contacted, which referred it to my police department since my children and I are the victims in this situation (I’m just going to go through my own local law enforcement from here on out for as long as I live here, though my ambitions are to move somewhere that makes it easier to livestream and work from home… when that becomes the case I’ll continue to go through whatever my local law enforcement is unless otherwise advised). There is a case number in the system for this person’s doxxing ꟷ this person doxxed my intellectually disabled nineteen-year-old son posting his phone number encouraging friends of hers to contact him “and remind him not to tell me”, or however she worded it ꟷ harassment, stalking, and threats. She has been given formal notice to cease all of these things, but since she has escalated this behavior over the course of months I will do what I continue to have to do to keep us safe and am filing for emergency protective orders next week covering my children in addition to covering myself. It’s whatever I have to do.

I want to resume streaming. I really do here.
Although I had been putting a lot of effort into saving money to relocate (I am epileptic so can not drive a motor vehicle, and as such would not even trust myself to drive one in the first place now… I feel like that ship has sailed), thinking that it would be easier to delay streaming until that time was close to coming or actually did come, it’s been taking me a bit longer than I would like to relocate. I’m exploring other avenues to come up with the funding for that, and next steps to get out of state to one of the locations I’d like to live with living arrangements lined up. Right now just about the only worthwhile use of AI has been spitballing moving costs, giving myself more of an idea what I can reasonably expect to spend to have our items shipped where and which way we’ll be joining them. I would legitimately just like to live somewhere safer than I do now.
Though it’s not so much the inherent safety of the area, it’s the lack of supports Texas has for streamers.
That’s one down. How many of them are left now?
As far as I am concerned, the mentally ill stalker that I had from the Portland area of Oregon is no longer being considered a threat to my family in spite of the degree at which he described threats of things he would do to us. I’ve had it confirmed for me that law enforcement in his area was able to find him after he spent a few months leading them on a wild goose chase and that he was informed that if he attempted to make any sort of contact with my family members or follow through on any of these threats that law enforcement would swiftly intervene, and he seems to have gotten the message behind that in a meaningful enough way to preclude further attempts at contact (even by way of ban evasion since he has now had numerous Twitter accounts suspended for precisely this), which includes attempting to contact people that I network with as a content creator “to deplatform me” and “to take (my) money away from me”. Based on what I’ve heard from the Portland branch of the FBI and IC3, I suppose Logan will always remain a person of interest with applicable state and federal agencies. They know that he is severely mentally ill. They know that he can not perform any sort of substantial gainful employment due to mental illness to the tune of Section 8 and SSI. (And perhaps the worst thing about all of this is that he can not even attempt to “work from home” because he’s literally stolen if not literally attempted to steal from companies and people that he has tried to work with in the past. His own brother knows that he is mentally ill enough not to be able to purchase or own his own firearm and yet was legitimately strawmanning purchases to him to facilitate this).
This just leaves the mentally ill woman from New Mexico who has been pretending to be a retired clinician online for years to the tune of stealing this poor woman’s identity attempting to illegally practice medicine by giving out medical advice “as a doctor”. I have most of the information that would be needed on her for law enforcement to take action in the event that she or her friends escalate, and over the course of the last few weeks alone Kathleen Crawford (Pollard?) has been showing people how dangerously mentally ill she is. I now completely see why she has been a frequent flier on her city’s police department’s well checks and how she has been having them done as often as she has been having them done. The only thing I can genuinely hope for in this situation is that she is made to seek the mental help she so desperately deserves to get…
Twitter has a lot of mentally ill people using it…
I’ve made absolutely no secret of the fact that Twitter has begun to attract increasingly more people with mental illness to the platform, and I mean that in the worst possible way. And I don’t mean it in a good way.
I have had the person who has been pretending to be the retired clinician “Dr. Sabrina Sage” for years Tweeting me as I had inadvertently become her newest obsession. This, however, was short-lived seeing as how it was quick for me to figure out just how deep the rabbit hole went… I used the contacts that I had established from my Portland stalker (as content creators being stalked is now taken much more seriously than it was years ago, for which I remain thankful) and insight from new friends to figure out who this person really was, the general location in which she lived, and how familiar her local law enforcement already was with her having to do repeated well checks to deal with her when she would crash out on Twitter for more than twelve hours a day pretending to be this doctor when she didn’t even work because obvious mental disabilities on her end completely justified that. After two well checks that I know of because I was contacted about them in some form or fashion, she finally locked her Twitter account down. I am genuinely hoping that it stays locked down, and I hope she consents to mental help at some point in her life.
