being trans over the telephone - passed between insurance and hospital and all around - learning how the bureaucracy works, the biases and temperaments at each level, how broken and vacuous the whole thing is and how unhappy it makes everyone - and it has to -has to!- happen during business hours

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

all in all it speaks to the sad truth that we chose the stupid, easy, sharper no over a tricky, harder, softer yes - something something freshness of being, something something they'll never win

there are numerous un(der)employed women who deserve to be British academics - on some level it is a tragedy ; Negarestani deserved all his limelight ; it will drive you insane reading Urban Future and realizing how middling he actually is - Xenosystems, sure, but there is a reason they chose Yarvin

thinking about a world where nick land transitioned and things got weird in an interesting way instead of an inhumane, sad, infuriating, horrifying, and embarrassing way

I don't like to think about the alternative, that is what nightmares and poems are for

Listen, I am optimistic but I’m saying I’m concerned about a lack of directness and willingness to change

you are seeking safety in a corpse, and its heat is fading

Still haven’t heard anyone really reckon with the fact that the gloves are off and the screens are down in earnest - like there’s only a handful of ways to “go back” now and they’re not what we’re doing lol

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

travel back to 2008 to tell them that in 2025 they're basically trying to finalize making MGS4 real but in the most evil and stupid ways possible like we are living in an evil satire world - like the AIs are real (but stupid) and the war economy is real (and arguably way more evil, and stupid)

partner said I needed to "have a messy T4T relationship" to "help me sort things out" and that I need to "kiki more" and that I just need to imitate Sophie style wise because my hair is the same so 2026 me is going to be very, very annoying standby for that

Oh side note first time a work of “queer” art made me angry cry along with it last night and of course it was over a PLAY

I had a dream that we were both still young, cleaning out one of those old houses that other young people ruined, together. And we never even said anything of the sort and we never even touched even accidentally. Impossible longing in uneventful dreams to launch you out of bed. What do you call it?

Listen you might have a relationship that feels a lot like "I hope you die I hope we both die" but eventually some day, maybe even just once, even just briefly, you're gonna "I wish that we could talk about it..." about it because... well? Isn't that the point of getting past it? So one day you can?
