  • I am prepared to die in this country.

    I do not deserve to die in this country, I don’t choose to live here.

    But because I am transgender, my federal government explicitly wants me dead.

    And the populations of other countries do not care for my survival, because I was born on an overseas American military base, and then brought here as a child, means I am a citizen of this evil empire.

    And I understand that even though I myself am not evil, I am a member of an evil empire, and my government and large portions of the outside world want me injured or dead in some way.

    But I am scrappy and I have a heart full of love and beauty.

    And I outlived Charlie Kirk.


  • I’m working as hard as I can to undermine him, but I’m a disabled photographer five thousand kilometers away. What, exactly, am I supposed to do to fix this, that I’m not already doing? I’m too weak to use a gun, I’m shit at rallying forces, and besides, America is far too distributed to amass people at a single point. Even if I did somehow summon up the motor skills to outwit the Secret Service and be the best assassin in the world, I’d have to be okay with losing my wife and my friends, as I’m executed basically on the spot. I can’t lose that. Trump will die before I do, and it will likely be by his own ragged mind.



  • I said this in another thread recently, but Ted Faro from the Horizon Zero Dawn series was so badly written. He was a one note guy, use technology to get profit at the expense of the planet, lying and dishonesty and being a douchey and thoroughly despised tech bro—

    and then I realized, he’s incredibly well written. He’s fuckin’ Elon Musk but American. He’s Sam Altman. He’s all these fuckers, and they’re him.

    Elon Musk would totally irradiate himself in a bunker to become an immortal monster. Hell, that’s literally what Peter Thiel goons his tiny dick to every goddamn night!

    Ted Faro was a bad villain back in ‘18. In ‘26, he fits in.
