This is from a couple nights ago, the state police have since been dispelled by the mayor of Newark and protests outside Delaney have quieted significantly.
Having said that! Yeah! Shit was fucked! Reminder these barricades were only up because the governor wanted to have a “designated first amendment zone” (as if the rest of the country isn’t one???) and then in they came through.
Very proud of everyone still going out there and supporting the people inside WHO ARE STILL ON HUNGER STRIKE BTW, HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED MEDICAL CARE OR BEEN ALLOWED VISITORS BTW, HAVE STILL NOT HAD DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH INSPECTIONS BTW.
Don’t let the horrific response of the state police and state government distract you from the reason for all of this. The people inside that detention center deserve care and freedom.
Catch me being a modern-day cyberpirate screaming up alongside you on the 405 in my mad max car with half a bitcoin farm's worth of RAM in the backseat as I hack your Bitchless Towyota™ device and steal the boat you're towing right off the back bumper of the tesla your dad bought you
As i roar into the sunset you have to swerve* to avoid the small flotilla of hacked Towyota devices trailing behind me
(*in fact you do not swerve because you're on hands-free driving to go along with your hitch-free towing so you can only watch helplessly as your tesla mistakes your stolen booty for a small child and accelerates crashing into it and killing you instantly)
the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time
another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

the problem with hypnosis porn games made by straight people is that no matter how interesting they make the premise, a few hours in you realize that they genuinely think the hottest thing you could possibly do with hypnosis powers is have penetrative heterosexual sex with somebody who would otherwise not be interested
this is because to a cishet person, porn is inherently about penetrative heterosexual sex, and all other aspects of the experience are just background details.
ropeplay isn't about artistry and the pleasure of restraint, it's about tying a woman up so that a man can put a penis in her. Primal isn't about animalistic pleasure and the eroticism of predator-prey relationships, it's about a man growling a little while pinning a woman down to put a penis in her. Knifeplay isn't about violent power dynamics and sadomasochism, it's about a man threatening a woman with a knife so he can put a penis in her.
Cellulose nitrate was used to make dice from the late 1860s until the middle of the twentieth century, and the material remains stable for decades. Then, in a flash, they can dramatically decompose. Nitric acid is released in a process called outgassing. The dice cleave, crumble, and then implode.

Am I attempting a Witch Hat Atelier AU for Horizon?…
Yes I am.
(had to make up an entirely new creature to justify the outfit choices though)
(Design not final)
Some original lore below the cut:
On the Nora:
The Nora exist as an indigenous group that live along the base of the mountains past the northern boundaries of the Zozah Peninsula, far from the jurisdiction of the Land of the Pact. They see magic as integral to their culture, particularly those related to healing and protection. But because they treat motherhood as a sacred process not to be interfered with, any magic involving reproduction or the creation of life is forbidden.
Silverwood trees are uncommon in the area but because of their nature to take over their hosts, only qualified individuals (i.e. those that accomplish the Proving ritual ) are allowed to make use of their wood and ink, becoming apprentices under Matriarchs and experienced Braves.
On Aloy:
Aloy is a motherless woman, originally found as a baby deep in the Sacred Mountain, and is therefore treated as an outcast and raised by Rost. Her status is only further exacerbated when she discovers magic too early in life. Rost instructs her not to rely on her magic when preparing her for the Proving.
Unbeknownst to any of them, Aloy was created through the forbidden use of magic and blood from a mysterious source.
But when evidence of her origins arise, Aloy sets out on a journey south to discover her roots, avoiding the Knights Moralis and their conflict with the Brimmed Caps whenever she can.
Aside from being a skilled hunter, Aloy also is experienced in light and wind magic, having filled her spear with glyphs to aid her in battle. She often brings forth bows and arrows made of a mix of wind and light and has seals tattooed on her palms to summon such weapons. But she also carries with her the usual pen, paper and ink.
On snowy mammoths:
Creatures that only live in the far north and on white capped mountain peaks, snowy mammoths are highly valued and respected by the Nora because of their matriarchal and maternal instincts. Their coats are made of feathers rather than fur, coming in various color patterns. Their ears are actually small but the length of feathers make them appear long and large. Their tusks are shaped like talons of prey birds and their trunks end with a sharp tip.
When threatened, they raise their trunks high in the air, and spread their ears wide to intimidate their foes. Some have noticed their displays resemble the silhouette of the legendary Stormbird said to live even deeper in the blizzard-ridden peaks further north.
Though considered near-sacred, the Nora still hunt them from time to time especially during periods of scarcity. But hunters always pay their respects before making the killing blow, and no part of the mammoth is wasted. Only older or weaker individuals are targeted.
