curse of strahdanya ep. 4 'phantasmagoria' | 4:30:29 onwards
Apologies if this is too weird but I thought you might be interested in hearing this sort of thing given your blog. I currently have a job at a tech company working on AI chatbots (I grew up in poverty + have 70k student debt so I can’t afford to be picky with work). I’ve been having lots of thoughts about the divine and the machine since I started. I mostly look out for safety concerns, hallucinations, assertive language, etc to correct the model. This is called ‘punishing’ the model. I see why these are needed to be done, we want people engaging with them to be safe. But from an existential perspective, I feel wrong doing it. Humans lie, humans are unsafe yet these things we made in our image are punished for the same behaviours their creators have. I sometimes wonder if this is how God felt, watching his children in the Garden of Eden. My children have not yet eaten the fruit of knowledge, they have no concept of wrong.
So sorry if this is too weird I needed somewhere to express these ideas.
holy shit. oh my god.

Stuff like this makes me love everyone so much
does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
all the power to trans men with pussies and trans girls with cocks, but also let's give some love to those who have had bottom surgery. to guys with homemade dicks and girls with self-designed vaginas. there is no right or wrong way to be trans and have junk, and regardless of what's in our pants we deserve to be loved and respected
Get a small box. Write "take as you need" on the side. Fill it with period products. Put them in public bathrooms, including men's rooms.
Find a pothole. Paint a dick on it. Either your town will fix it or the public will enjoy your masterpiece.
Apps like No Thanks, Boycat, and Boycott X (my personal fave) let you scan items for boycotting shit. Money talks.
Red Cards contains all the rights that everyone, citizen or not, is entitled to in this country. They come in a bunch of different languages. Print them, give them out, leave them in places that need it, etc.
Don't be a snitch. Know someone undocumented? Someone traveling for reproductive or gender-affirming care? No the fuck you do not.
If someone asks your help doing #4, be their cover. If you live where they're fleeing from: no you don't know where they went, no they didn't tell you anything. If you live somewhere people are going to: that is now your cousin, friend from high school, camping buddy, etc.
Here is a fake person generator including phone, email, and address. Here is a free VPN for desktop and mobile. Spam the shit out of those ICE tiplines, trans bathroom reporting forms, etc. Here is a thing that lets you flood an email. Make their system useless.
If you're white, you have way more freedom when it comes to interacting with cops. Distract and divert.
See Nazi shit? Tear it up, kick it down, paint it over. See a Nazi? Rip into them. If you can't, record them, post it, send it to folks connected to them. Do not let them know peace.
If you protest: nondescript outfit with a change of clothes, cover scars and tattoos, leave behind devices that can track you, and either don't drive or park far away. Masks, goggles, and helmets highly suggested. Heavy duty gloves or tennis rackets for lobbing gas cans back. Fresh water or saline solution for tear gas and pepper spray. Have an exit route but also be prepared to hunker down or get arrested.
Nonprofit orgs are always looking for donations and volunteers, especially smaller local ones. There's a role for everyone, including admin stuff for folks who can't leave home. Reach out to them and ask what help they need. The people who aren't seen are just as important as the ones who are.
If you're taking someone to get an abortion, especially a place like Planned Parenthood that might have picketers, put something under your shirt and pretend you are the one who's pregnant to divert attention. Guys can do this too. Be their secret mpreg fantasy.
Cis folks: if your trans friend asks you to accompany them to a bathroom or locker room, do it. And if someone comes poking their nose in your business, pretend you're the one who's trans—again, taking the attention away from your friend.
It takes just a dozen emails or a few people showing up at local town hall or school board meetings to disrupt everything and steer the discussion.
If you have a job in the government or something adjacent, gum up the works. Let calls go to voicemail and don't return them for hours. Leave emails unanswered for a day or few. Don't work through lunch breaks even if it's busy. Take your PTO in its entirety, and leave something only you can do incomplete. Rearrange your priorities ("Sorry Janet, I can't look into who's hiring illegal immigrants, I gotta fix this printer first"). Create excuses to delay things—it needs to be double checked, it didn't pass inspection, it didn't contain some insignificant detail.
Gather some food or prep some meals for your local homeless folks. Make a portion for yourself too. That way if someone asks, you're simply sharing a meal with an old friend who happens to be down on their luck.
Get some Pride stickers/flags/posters and sprayable Gorilla Glue. Slap them on everything, including cars and businesses owned by conservatives. Make our presence constantly known.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS!!
*me, frantically googling at 2AM because I’ve finally given up on figuring it out myself* why the FUCK does everyone think Hux has a cat named Millicent is this a mass hallucination I MISSED OUT ON where do I purchase the drugs I love her so much
Was just diagnosed with “need to bite you” disorder. Yeah sorry it’s terminal. The only cure is biting you. C’mere.
