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.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- 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.

Tidligere i år meldte vi et forskningsprosjekt til redelighetsutvalget ved OUS og UiO.

Nå er forskerne felt for alvorlige brudd på forskningsetiske normer.

Facts.
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.

"A multitude of motion and texture and place, in ways I could only begin to describe, but fortunately, you can experience."

Now that the book is officially out there, may I introduce you to the first review?
Storytellers bless us in every moment.

I hope you will read.

It wasn't done by design, but it's something that delights me. Every author blurb Hornytown Chutzpah has received has been written by a woman.

Has that ever happened in the history of noir?

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)

Four days.

We can do this.

In a world that is increasingly fractured, translations and bridging of worlds are needed connections.

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.

If people stop liking and sycophantly kissing a white dude's post where he insults Deaf/HoH, women and people with mental health issues but with snark and wittiness... I will be glad

But you are still doing it.
