Hi frens! This is where I’m putting my old Twitter archive since that place has gone to hell.

Everything from @StrivingAlly will be here, except the stuff that BlueArk can’t transfer.

I love you all. Stay safe. Protect each other. Trans rights are human rights. We aren’t done til we’re all free. 💜

So many people have no idea how bad shit is about to get in the USA.
Fuck. I’m so sorry, American friends. I don’t know what to say.
Can someone explain to me, in a way that fucking makes sense, why Neil “The Game” Strauss is now seen as respectable by literally ANYBODY?

I have conscious/gentle parenting insta accounts reposting that creepy rape apologist asshole into my feed. What the fuck.

PUAs get fucked.
I still remember when the younger adults in the Trump dynasty faced criticism and scrutiny over their involvement in government matters without any accountability, and there was WEEKS of pterodactyl screeching from the RW commentators about “GOING AFTER THE KIDS!!!*!*!*”
The fact I am howling into the social media void about my mental health tonight instead of talking to someone in my life - because there’s nobody I feel okay doing that with - seems to back up my brainweasels on this one.
Intellectually I know that objectively speaking, “nobody likes me and I’m actually alone and nobody cares” is not true. Like there is ever-present, tangible evidence to the contrary.

But sometimes when I’m down and things are rough it *feels* very true.

And easy to believe.
Fascinating to see the split of opinion on my timeline about whether the NABJ appearance was a good thing or a bad thing.
Downloading my archive today. Deleting tomorrow.

This place has gone full fash.
Nuking this account in seven days (13/7/24).

There’s just too many things about this place that turn my stomach. I can’t continue to be a part of it.

Same handle at bsky. Come find me. 💗🫶🏼
Slightly behind my deadline. Gonna pull the plug tomorrow.

Please come find me at bsky, friends. 💜

Republicans will yell about “tyranny!” when the First Lady encourages kids to eat more vegetables, then outright declare that the President can commit unlimited crimes with zero accountability as long as he yells “I’M THE PRESIDENT” while performing them.
Decades watching Republicans work the refs til everyone in media is scared to point out their blatant misconduct, of setting up the court system to make sure they chosen venues have outsized influence to shape the USA, of Democrats too timid to throw elbows…

And here we are.
Strongmen play by the rules until they can get away with not playing by the rules anymore, and then they just do whatever the fuck they want because nobody can stop them.

And legally speaking, SCOTUS just cut Trump a blank cheque.
Trump. Is. Going. To. Abolish. Term. Limits.
If you’re one of the smug douches saying something along the lines of “but with these powers, the next Dem President could-“

Just stop. Stop right there. If you think there is going to BE another Dem President, you don’t understand the stakes Trump has been playing for.
Also someone can have been involved in things that are good - like exposing info in the public interest - and *still do horrible things*.

A ton of lefties don’t seem to have a handle on the idea that JA might have both done necessary work AND also committed SA.
Shit seeing how many people are celebrating Julian Assange’s freedom is kinda making me not want to be online today.

If you listen to anybody who was at Wikileaks before he made it All About Him, he’s basically the Elom Musc of the org - entitled, self-important and a figurehead
So yes, you freaky lickers at the boot of Roko’s Basilisk, we DO hate you for using the thing that’s going to replace creative, inspired artistic works - replace them with an endless sea of literary grey goo, perpetual derivative mash-ups & remixes of things human brains created.
The LLM tech is nowhere near the point where it could write something compelling or memorable. But because neither the hedge fund predators nor the executive suite assholes understand or value the difference between barely readable slop and artistic brilliance, they don’t care.
Because for all their talk of democratisation and what this will do for everyday folks, the customers for this scam aren’t you and me. They’re the suits who hire and manage the people who are currently doing these tasks. And they’re being told AI will cull their employee budgets.
Almost every *actual* use case that has been implemented is basically some variant of “stop paying qualified, trained, experienced, skilled people to do a thing, fire them all and make someone on a lower wage finesse the garbage this black box outputs”.
They try to paint it like we’re regressive luddites, mourning an old tradition out of sentimentality and fear of the future unknown. Candle-makers scorning the electric bulb.

No we’re observers of what happens when VC cons biz execs into cutting personnel “costs” with a gimmick.
The AI cultists think this is an own but YES, this is 100% unironically what we are saying.

AI cannot write something good enough to take the place of a human writer. But it writes basically parseable text that could be used to fool a c-suite douche into canning writers.
That’s only ten words, Chaya, you need four more.
