Friends in #Japan : if I marry an anime character or a vocaloid hologram like Hatsune Miku, can I get residency? Can I marry a same sex anime character?

I woke up today and wrote an essay. Ostensibly it is about the fears around AI but really a critique of capitalism. If you would give it a read and a follow, it would really help out!

And what was fascinating was when reviewing games and teaching me they would say about certain moves "AI says that is alright" and how human players usually did things one way but #AI taught us new moves.

I started playing #Go with a group in Oakland on Sundays. I am pretty rusty having stopped playing about 3 years ago when I was really sick, and I was never very good to be honest. But now I have a handful of stronger players to learn from and a structured curriculum to study thanks to the group organizer.

Today was my second week and I met more people this week who were at the #GoCongress in the Midwest.

I got a resonse to my CL ad. It was a Gay boomer from New Hampshre messenging me to tell me how terrible California is and amazement that we choose to live here at all.

Oh, and Rose could not retrieve Spinel all those years because the garden was Diamond controlled territory. Until Stevej brought reform to Gem society it would have been too dangerous or suicide to go there.

Steven Universe

I think people get salty about Rose Quartz because we saw her very real redemption arc in reverse.
Pink Diamond was not a good person. How could she be raised in such a toxic environment? But she literally reinvented herself and tried to do better. She was not perfect, but who is? Creating Steven truly was a selfless act. I don't think she meant for him to clean up her messes, gem society forced that on Steven.

Queer rage, Transphobia, genocide

I am DONE with cis gays & lesbians who think being transphobic will save them from the fascists during the current queer genocide.

They will not think you are one of the good ones and spare you. There will be no acceptable queer people to the fascists, they are just targeting the most vulnerable members of the queer community first.

Don't oppress your own family in the face of the unsafe conditions for many queer people. For fuck's sake.

I bet there were overserious Shakespeare nerds in Elizabethan (1) times that were all, Fuck the Globe ain't what it used to be 3 seasons ago. This claptrap about lovesick Italian teenagers is just pandering to the masses, what we really want is violent shit about monarchs! Enough of this kid stuff for the younger generation.

Was Fandom always full of overserious and toxic nerds?

I have had my hands on a few zines and even glossy publications before the internet gave everyone a printing press and megaphone and they were arguing about the same shit in the 70s, 80, and 90s until it moved to USENET, message boards, and now social media.

Queer rage (Target)

Pride is not a big gay party it is a statement that queer people will FIGHT for our right to live free of persecution and prosecution. This is quickly no longer the case for large portions of the United States. It's origin is in the Stonewall RIOTS.

I sincerely feel we need Target to be more afraid of Queers fighting for survival than rightwing bigots.

Queer rage (Target)

Ok. Target has admitted stochastic terrorism works against them and they fear right wing reactionaries.

Time to remind milquetoast allies who are happy to profit from our custom and give lip service but no action what PRIDE is about and it's origins and why we celebrate in June.

I forgot the #MutualAid hashtag in my above post. Thank you everyone for the boosts!

I was pretty back on my heels when Atherton Park Post Acute of Menlo Park CA illegally dumped me in a Comfort Inn with inadequate meds and no follow-up care this past Friday but I am starting to get my feet under me again -- and it is war footing!
