OOOH and this is specifically for LA and more urban areas, be mindful of our unhoused folks and how much more at risk they are of violence, arrest and further displacement during protests because they have no where to else to go. We protect the most vulnerable among us.

Anytime you engage in any action, regardless of how low-risk or low-tension it may seem, no matter how non-violent it may be, there is always a risk of violence against you.
Be Smart. Be Safe.

6. Always be aware of your surroundings, have exit strategies. Do not unnecessarily put yourself in any more danger and do not believe that you are NOT in danger.

Also give contact information for someone that your loved ones can check in with if you do not show up, an organizational representative if you're with an organization.
Over the last decade, we've seen a rise of activists "disappearing", make it hard for them to disappear you.

5. Also with that in mind, do NOT take your cellphone. Write information, your name and contact info of a lawyer or someone you need to call in case of arrest on your arm. Let someone know where you will be, who you will be with, where you will go when leaving the action and give a timeframe.

4. There are enough people documenting what's going on, let the journalists and the white folks use their privilege to document what's going on. LOL also do not be afraid to use them as human shields........I joke but....seriously.
let them use their privilege and take the bulk of the risks.

3. Why the hell are you posting selfies and pictures of yourself and others that are clearly identifiable? Sure, it's cute and all if you're at low-risk, low-stake actions, but in high-risk situations you do not create a footprint that puts a target on you or others.

2. Do not speak to the media and always refer them to the organizers or designated spokespeople. If you do not know who those people are, you definitely DO NOT SPEAK TO THE MEDIA. "No comment" is a full, complete sentence.

He gave me this link for you and says you could try using medical rehydration salts, but you CAN'T use other salts then and he's not sure if it will taste good because he's never tried putting the medical salts into salsa or any other food, but they're not sweet

In other news, if any publisher wants to take over a really good medieval action-thriller novel with lots of queer romance, hey, SCOTTISH BOY is a proven seller even with zero marketing

Seriously, FUCK Boundless.
Writers, do not publish with them.
Agents, do not submit to them.
Bookstores, do not carry their books.
Any company that thinks torching this many authors will result in being able to “continue publishing and rebuild trust” is delusional and deserves to die.

I always think of one of my really good friends who has become one of my best friends...waaaaayyyyy back told me if I needed any ideas for writing he had some and it was a testament of the love i bore him that what i did was show him my literal boxes of ideas. I was like, if you can give me time...

To work the algorithm.
And that's the thing. Even when I was 'here'... I had no interest in working the algorithm, so, yeah.
I'll pop in every once and a while to see if I see any posts from friends, I guess, but mostly, if you want to maintain a friendship with me hit me up and we'll find a way

Tos isn't quietly changed to allow their own ai model to have rights to be trained on everything you've ever said or art you ever posted. And I think this is going to be standard for all chat apps that maintain a chat log of any kind

I mean we can ban the IDs and all but we know that, realistically, discord is going in the direction to scrape everything anyway. Whatever temporary measures we implement, the writing is on the wall: the enshittification of discord is underway. I'd be shocked if, in the next... 2-3 years the

If AI is so amazing, why do they always try to hide it and force it on everyone like this?

Somebody in one of my servers posted a list of three others with a similar function. The four IDs (I'm including the one above just as a backup) to ban are:
1153984868804468756
1288638725869535283
1090660574196674713
1104973139257081909
Use the /ban command and enter those numbers for the user.

I muted this cuz it got annoying lol but I want to reiterate to never just give gen ai companies and bots the benefit of the doubt and trust. (The discord post I linked from above was someone else forwarding to me. This below is my own comments)

This only kicks the bot from maybe passively scraping the server. The app options to use it are still there.
You can toggle off external apps in each channel to turn those off too. Just double check it doesn't break any other bots.
