A piece on my path through science, engineering, death and dying, fantasy and science fiction. Spurred by a talk on digital necromancy in Glasgow where I used fiction as models, this is the first piece in which my worlds are brought together.

- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals
This is a HUGE breach.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

I wrote a little essay. Would appreciate if you read, share, and tell me what you think.
There’s this line in the film Borat where the character is searching Jews for their horns. It’s absurd and meant to be funny, but when I pointed it out to my mom, who grew up in Poland, she grew sober. (1/11)

With less then 20k usd a month you can get a wholeass researcher with a phd, and they're real world trained too! They even have these cool biomechanical manipulators that grip things based on object recognition from biochemical vision systems, so they can do lab work too!
This does not mean for even a second that Microsoft has agreed to reduce its revenue share, just that OpenAI "thinks they will." This is all timed to get investors to complete the $10.3bn employee share sale, to make it seem like the deal is done when absolutely nothing has changed.

I keep waiting for someone to reach out, fact check with witnesses such as myself. Not a peep anywhere. The herd behavior coming out of this whole thing is staggering.
The continued cruelty toward me because I tried to privately report abuse and an admirer of the abuser put out an uninformed hit piece to silence me is even stunning me.
Remember, none of those successfully de-platforming me have talked to me. None. Not a word. That's *vital* to consider.
