It's very important that none of us share her name. Not even in "awareness" of what has been done to her. Not in sharing images of her doxxing. She's Jane Doe unless *she* chooses not to be. Then, we pursue vengeance against all rapists & their enablers until none of them are fucking left.

The EN/JP anime name thing came and went at lightning speed, but it did get me thinking about the spectrum of anime name conventions in English-speaking countries, especially at spots you hit a sort of 50/50 (I swear I've heard "Boku no Hero Academia" and "My Hero Academia" fully interchangeably)

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

I do think they probably ran his texts through an LLM and it hallucinated crimes. That’s scary and bad and it’s funny they got caught, but imagine how many other times this happens on a day to day basis against people with no rights, let alone the ability to publicly humiliate the AI prosecutor.

#swordtember day 29: “kelpie”
Colored pencil drawing of a sword.  The blade is deep shiny black with drops of bog water dripping off of it.  The pommel is a black horsehead with a glowing eye and a dark gnarly greenish mane.  The grip is mossy, and the black metal crossguard has moss streaming from it.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Of all the awful uses of generative ai this is one of the most quietly disgusting. These aren't tributes. They are snuff sympathy cards done by dopamine addicts groping themselves over the clout they can squeeze out of a tragedy. I'm furious when I see these. Can't imagine how their peers feel.
