Live again on Twitch streaming some wall framing for the kids at St. Jude! You can get your name emblazoned for all time on those very wall studs by donating just $10 to childhood cancer at mvo.live — among many other lovely donation treats. Time is running out, so donate today!
Friends, I am going live with more construction today and announcing a *donation reward fire sale* for the last few days of the campaign! - Sign-A-Study is now only $10! - Coasters and coin holders are down to $50! - Cutting boards are only $150! It’s a great time to give at mvo.live

Live again on twitch continuing to disassemble my home (where my wife sleeps; where my children play with their toys) with a sledgehammer and power tools. Tune in and hang out, and do some good by giving some money to the kids at St. Jude mvo.live
(Did I mention you can also claim treats? Cutting boards? Coin holders? Coasters?! They call that "enlightened altruism"). mvo.live
Going live on Twitch with continued demolition work in the office build — join me as we make a mess and smash some gypsum board all while raising money for the kids at St. Jude. You can donate now to make my life annoying at mvo.live
Going live on Twitch, installing a window and possibly injuring myself while raising money for the kids at St. Jude. You can donate today to claim either a donation treat or a donation *punishment* (for me) at mvo.live and tune in to the construction project.

I do these sketches every year to help people visualise the new phones. If you have ever found them useful, I’d appreciate it if you donated a percentage of the money you might spend on a new phone to help St Jude in their fight to save children who have cancer: klmatthews.com/stjude

I’ll be live on Twitch throughout the month, chipping away at wall framing, window replacement, and electrical work. Stream times may be random, so I do recommend subscribing and hitting the bell etc etc if you want to follow along. Going live shortly to get that ancient window replaced! mvo.live

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
