none of this fake opsec bullshit that won't work anyway! fascists want information about DIY hidden from the people who need it. the best we can do is ensure that AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE know that it's easy and legal (in the US, may vary in your country) to order HRT online
earlier i quoted OP disagreeing and deleted cause i didn't want a fight but actually yeah i want to say on the timeline:
DO NOT stop sharing DIY resources! if you speak only in whispers the people who need HRT won't be able to hear you, but the fascists who are already listening still will
the constellation of existing DIY websites are already basically that, they are meant to be able to go down when they have to because they have redundant information between them and a pretty robust network of backups
thanks this actually helped me not kill myself
that only helps people who are in those forums and already connected. this has happened before and will continue even if we hide, so trans communities will rightly continue sharing DIY resources more and more widely until they get too much attention and have to go lower profile again
i want to move to a cabin in the woods, in a different country, that no one knows the location of, and also i don't want to be around corporeally i just want to haunt it as a ghost
i wake up and i look at the news and i feel sick and i stop looking at it and focus on my own life and i feel sick and i stop that and focus on what i can do and i feel sick and i stop that and i focus on surviving and i feel sick
i got .0017 and i'm colorblind
when it happens it's not even gonna be a leftist radical, is it? it's gonna be a guy who runs a startup bank
guy circling around the grocery store parking lot at 10PM in a fancy convertible blasting an Iranian monarchist podcast (in English) extremely loud
my favorite part was that it was trained with sex roleplay (because that's a big part of the corpus of text-based roleplay) and then he got surprised when it replicated that
i loved AI dungeon 2 when it was new (6 years ago lol), and then when the big commercial developments of GPT models ended up being applying the exact same format to a tool meant to be factual and helpful i was horrified
yeah that's fair
i think this is true in some cases, probably many, but "audiences are" is such an impressive generalisation
i've seen this happen a few times on here
it's kind of concerning how central the cliches are to many people's understanding of the topic! i had to avoid talking about ai with other people on the left for years because if i tried to talk about it accurately that was automatically taken as "pro-ai"
i've seen "guy"s say shit like "grungler is a really important part of my identity"
wait can i ask what part of kentucky
yeah i was gonna say "whoa same what are the chances" but im pretty sure the chances of early modern english people claiming distant and dubious royal ancestry were high actually
idk i'm really not sure if i'm just being paranoid. at this point i'm regretting having ever signed up and posted anything
every once in a while i think about how the ATproto firehose makes it quite likely (rather than merely a concerning possibility like with other social media) that in a few years there'll be a database where any personal information anyone shared on here is compiled and easily searchable
you're a creep who shouldn't feel comfortable talking to people in public like this
Do you ever get hit with the feeling you might be fake as fuck? I try and cultivate the expectation that I'm not anything more but then people still think I'm a person, it's weird. I'm just a virus on your computer tbh.
here's element's post from the time about how they sell encrypted messaging services to cops, which was widely misreported as them selling encrypted messaging data to cops mastodon.matrix.org/@element/110... i don't love this either but it's not whats often claimed
and the "obviously unreal" beliefs aren't quite that, either; the other characteristic trait of StPD is "double bookkeeping" where (speaking for myself) i can keep track of which thoughts of mine aren't acceptable for consensus reality and act accordingly without exactly disbelieving them in private
this is exactly what it's like yeah. i get a lot of that and also always assume everyone remembers everything they've ever seen me do wrong and holds it against me. it is essentially a delusion but it's impossible to separate from reality so it sticks unlike the more obviously unreal ones
tbh i'm a little bit reflexively anti-psychiatry so maybe don't take advice from me about it but i don't see much point in the psychiatric approach to StPD. i think it is mostly about training us to pretend to be getting better
there isn't really a reliable treatment for StPD itself. antidepressants or mood stabilizers can help but do not really treat the condition itself. not getting worse is mainly about recognizing symptoms to live with them instead of letting them get out of hand
that does sound like it (i'm not a doctor though of couse). with the paranoia, is part of it a certainty that people secretly don't like you, even if they say they do, or that they watch, or talk about, or plan to betray you? that paranoid anxiety is especially characteristic of StPD, i get it a lot
have you talked to other schizotypal people much? sorry idk you i just got bored and searched it and saw this and relate a lot
