Sort of a care post but I’ve seen women and parents terrified about posting photos of themselves and daughters online in the wake of AI. And I think it is somewhat justified. A lot of sick people out there.

Hey guys, while you're all maxing out donations to Kamala, don't forget MUTUAL AID for trans community members like games journalist Ana Valens. 🙏
https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ana-valens-recover-from-burnout-pay-her-bills wrote:Heya! My name is Ana Valens, I'm a journalist, VTuber, and audio content creator who recently left the games media industry. And I am very, very burnt out.
If I'm being honest, I've been struggling with burn out since well before 2021. I went hard -- really hard -- as a journalist at Daily Dot, and as a freelancer before that. When I made the switch over to GAMURS as a managing editor for We Got This Covered, I burnt out within my first few months. Even in my last job as an editorial strategist, fatigue, anxiety, depression, they were all knocking at the door day by day.
Things increasingly deteriorated at GAMURS (you can read about this at Aftermath here , which describes the company as "hell" and "a race to the bottom"), where I was switched over to an SEO/news writer. There, I couldn't hit my 4x article per day quota, and no job to stave off burn out existed for me as an alternative. No extended or medical leave was an option, either, as I was told time off would ultimately lead to the same path: Being put on a performance improvement plan. I was given an option to end up on a PIP without severance, or quit and take severance.
So I quit.
And I've been grinding out my content creation career ever since, creating video essays and audio content for my fans, putting all my energy toward the only job I can bear to have while carrying half a decade's worth of burn out on my back.
I've been blessed with early success (and a growing income), but I still need support. I'm not making enough yet to actually, sustainably pay my bills. Which are expensive, living in NYC! I'm close to depleting my savings. I haven't been able to take time to rest and recover, which gets in the way of working. Due to the state of the larger media landscape, freelance media jobs are particularly difficult to acquire and low paying. And taking them is often robbing Peter to pay Paul, hurting long-term income.
These days, I wake up every morning frightened the money won't be there in time, that I'll lose everything once my savings are gone. I have no additional safety net, nowhere else to go. There won't be a future left for me once that happens. I literally have no idea what I will do.
I could really use some help just as things come together. A dollar goes a long way to pay the bills, provide some remaining safety net, and just make sure I can get an occasional day off or two. As my VTuber income begins to become a full-time, sustainable income, anything extra from my GoFundMe will go to time to rest and recover from burn out.
Thank you all for the support and for shares. ILU <3 Quote:June 23rd, 2024

Hi all!! Thank you SO SO MUCH to everyone who's donated ;w;. We're very, very close to hitting $3k! Literally just a couple hundred dollars away, which is nuts to think about.
If you could boost & share to Twitter, IG, etc, I think we might hit the goal before the month ends.
Thanks again for your generosity and support over the past couple days. Y'all are wonderful, it means the world to me to have your donation at this time.
With love,
Ana

HI EVERYONE! We reached our $3,000 GOAL IN LATE JUNE <3. Thank you so, so much to everyone who contributed!
I've bumped the goal up to $4,500, just for some additional funding to help cover bills as I begin my freelance job hunt after taking time off. If you'd like to donate (or know someone who might) feel free to do so, but know I feel blessed and have the initial support I need from $3k. Thanks all again for your support <3

The problem with the Ava thing on Era is that Era is so heavily invested in the Trans identity and the trans mafia that no “normal” user can be critical of Ava because they will simply be banned for transphobia, they simply cannot say “Fuck Ava”

They said this stuff while ignoring that they purposely annoyed the judge just to make a show from the trial and spread their word.
People that do worse, generally, at least pretend civility during their trails because they aren’t driven by narcissistic activism. But if you guys love when mass shooters try to subvert the process to bigoted activism , like the Christchurch asshole, be my guest.
The just stop oil people suck so hard people think they’re a psyop from corporations to sour the populous on environmentalism.

One reason it's important to convince people of things rationally is to overcome the bias against change. Although it shouldn't be my job to educate you about this when you could just show me basic human decency.
Beyond 'lived experience', there's also just the general accumulation of things over time; if you don't actually own any property sounds pretty great to say property is theft and get free property. If you don't have any kids, its pretty easy to say who cares if schools let kids pretend theyre actually a cat. If you don't have any professional skills or reputation, seems harmless to hire people based on diversity checklists not qualifications and experience. If you're not paying any tax, why get mad about stupid boondoggles on the government dime while real issues get underfunded.
Similar to the choruses of folks who have never run a business and have no financial stake in them, demanding businesses invest tons of money in games or whatever that don't sell

Thread title: Elon Musk's trans daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, absolutely eviscerates him on Threads after he deadnames and misgenders her in interview and Twitter
Elon's Post:
Elon's kids response:
Elon Musks's Daughter wrote:"This is entirely fake. Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don't even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said "eh- good enough" in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own fucking story."
"I did not have a "love of musicals & theatre" when I was four, because y'know… I was fucking four. I did not know what these things were. My earliest real experience with musicals was when my twin brother had a hamilton phase in 8th/9th grade and overplayed it so much in the car to the point where for a long time I swore off the entire genre."
"I never picked out jackets for him to wear and I was most certainly not calling them "fabulous" because literally what the fuck. I did not use the word fabulous when I was four because once again I would like to reiterate… I was four. Like this is so obvious I don't even think it warrants explanation but apparently people believe this nonsense so here I am."
"This entire thing is completely made up and there's a reason for this. He doesn't know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn't there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness. Obviously he can't say that, so I've been reduced to a happy little stereotype f*g-ing along to use at his discretion. I think that says alot about how he views queer people and children in general."
"As for if I'm not a woman… sure, Jan. Whatever you say. I'm legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don't concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me. Obviously Elon can't say the same because in a ketamine-fueled haze, he's desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him. Go touch some fucking grass✨"
TL;DR:
Elon's daughter:
Era's Response:
Elon Musk:
One person says that other person is lying = absolutely eviscerates him.

Amount of cliche phrases in that is amazing. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Genetics are something else.
Why yes of course I recall what I did or didn't do, when I was 4. I definitely knew I was a woman with a cock, so I fucking know I never said 'fabulous!'.#hatemydad

it feels like what era types and other internet communists have done is pretend socialism/communism is imminent or already here, and to achieve the most personal utility in that world, you maximize your gains by minimizing your utility to the state
you say ohhh yeah I'll do my part to the best of my ability, it's just a shame that my autism is flaring up again, I don't have many spoons today, and then there's my self-diagnosed gluten intolerance when the state just keeps giving us bread and that makes me sluggish

" absolutely disgusting" doesn't mean you immediately believe everything, it means if nothing else, the situation (if true) is disgusting

they should've been equally concerned in the wake of photoshop
I know AI makes it easier, but not THAT much easier, it's been possible for some lone weirdo to obsess over someone and photoshop their face onto porn repeatedly and spread those images online for over 20 years, and when it happens that person is dealt with
