weirdly-queer intro post

over 1k posts and im finally doing this!

Name: Poem/Quest/Portal, if you're close (like @dawn-machine-official close) you can call us Nephele (sorry for @ bestie)

Pronouns: Any neos, preference for Minecraft (specifically Minecraft End) themed. main sets are tas/well/taswell/taswellself, end/ends and song/songs.

We're not anti-endo or pro-endo specifically, some parts are anti- and some parts are pro- endo. Please do not label us as either. Overall we think that endogenic plurality is real but different from CDD's.

Please do not call us a 'sysmed' or 'sysmeds' as we 1. aren't and 2. are mostly non-dysphoric trans. if you really just wanna be a prick call us 'traumascum' lmfao.

We're autistic and may need clarification on a lot of things. It's why we ramble a lot :) we like making sure our posts are clear.

We also switch between we/us and I/me a lot.

Hellenistic polytheists. Which means that yes I do believe in the ancient Greek gods, no I will not take shit for it. If I have to deal with Apollo giving me signs all the damn time someone gotta hear about it.

We use parts terminology.

We're collectively an mspec gay. If this offends you leave my blog ✨now ✨ thanks <3

we write. a lot. probably wont post our ao3 publicly but if you want it just DM us!

we discourse. a lot. its like the whole reason i joined tumblr i just like arguing with ppl lol

going to introduce a tagging system going forwards! general posts will be tagged with #wq-talks, asks with #wq-asks, reblogs with friends as #wq-friends, other reblogs with #wq-reblogs, discourse with #wq-dis (wq-dis-sys for syscourse, wq-dis-q for queer discourse, wq-dis-t for trans discourse, wq-dis-pro for proship stuff etc).

as for proship stuff: we are proship. only proship. i do not fuck with whatever the hell "consensual incest" bullshit part of tumblr is trying to pull or anything else like it. i am pro. ship. i support shipping whatever. yes, even if that "whatever" is fucked up. yes, even if i dont like the ship. hell, i hate some ships, like, violently hate some ships! but i do that shit in private bc its not my place to decide what other people write about. yes fiction affects reality. but oh my gods it is not my place to tell other people what to write!! irl books are fucked up and gory too!! fucks sake 💀

DNI:

  • aggressive antis (willing to talk with those who don't wish death upon me please and thanks),
  • people who equate syscourse unaligned/endo-neutral with "sysmed",
  • dsmp stans (yall know who you are. i dont mean "casually watches tommyinnit" or "has seen a few minecraft manhunts and liked them" i mean like,,, puts way too much effort into caring abt those cc's. that doesnt mean fanfics/fanart i mean like. borderline stalking them.),
  • anti mspec-gays or lesbians (obviously),
  • anti neo-pronouns or xenogenders (again, obviously)
  • generally just a bigot lmfao

(special interest is minecraft btw. i know too much)

Homeland Security Uses AI Tool to Analyze Social Media of U.S. Citizens and Refugees
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is using a tool called Babel X that can link a person's Social Security number to their social media pos
vice.com

TLDR: Homeland Security has been tying our social media to our IPs, licenses, posts, emails, selfies, cloud, apps, location, etc through our phones without a warrant using Babel X and will hold that information gathered for 75 years. Certain aspects of it were hushed because law enforcement will/does/has used it and it would give away confidential information about ongoing operations.

This gets renewed in September.

Between this, Agincourt (a VR simulator for cops Directly related to this project), cop city, and widespread demonization of abortions, sex workers, & queer people mixed with qanon/Trumpism, and fascism in Florida, and the return of child labor, & removed abortion rights fresh on our tails it's time for alarms to be raised and it's time for everyone to stop calling us paranoid and start showing up to protest and mutual aid groups.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

These are the same feds who want to build cop city and recreate civilian houses en masse and use facial recognition. The same feds that want cop city to also be a training ground for police across the country. Cop city where they will build civilian neighborhoods to train in.

Widespread mass surveillance against us.

Now let's cut to some parts of the article. May 17th from Vice:

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is using an invasive, AI-powered monitoring tool to screen travelers, including U.S. citizens, refugees, and people seeking asylum, which can in some cases link their social media posts to their Social Security number and location data, according to an internal CBP document obtained by Motherboard.
Called Babel X, the system lets a user input a piece of information about a target—their name, email address, or telephone number—and receive a bevy of data in return, according to the document. Results can include their social media posts, linked IP address, employment history, and unique advertising identifiers associated with their mobile phone. The monitoring can apply to U.S. persons, including citizens and permanent residents, as well as refugees and asylum seekers, according to the document.
“Babel data will be used/captured/stored in support of CBP targeting, vetting, operations and analysis,” the document reads. Babel X will be used to “identify potential derogatory and confirmatory information” associated with travelers, persons of interest, and “persons seeking benefits.” The document then says results from Babel X will be stored in other CBP operated systems for 75 years.
"The U.S. government’s ever-expanding social media dragnet is certain to chill people from engaging in protected speech and association online. And CBP’s use of this social media surveillance technology is especially concerning in connection with existing rules requiring millions of visa applicants each year to register their social media handles with the government. As we’ve argued in a related lawsuit, the government simply has no legitimate interest in collecting and retaining such sensitive information on this immense scale,” Carrie DeCell, senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute, told Motherboard in an email.
The full list of information that Babel X may provide to CBP analysts is a target’s name, date of birth, address, usernames, email address, phone number, social media content, images, IP address, Social Security number, driver’s license number, employment history, and location data based on geolocation tags in public posts.
Bennett Cyphers, a special advisor to activist
organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Motherboard in an online chat “the data isn’t limited to public posts made under someone’s real name on Facebook or Twitter.”
The document says CBP also has access to AdID information through an add-on called Locate X, which includes smartphone location data. AdID information is data such as a device’s unique advertising ID, which can act as an useful identifier for tracking a phone and, by extension, a person’s movements. Babel Street obtains location information from a long supply chain of data. Ordinary apps installed on peoples’ smartphones provide data to a company called Gravy Analytics, which repackages that location data and sells it to law enforcement agencies via its related company Venntel. But Babel Street also repackages Venntel’s data for its own Locate X product."
The PTA obtained by Motherboard says that Locate X is covered by a separate “commercial telemetry” PTA. CBP denied Motherboard’s FOIA request for a copy of this document, claiming it “would disclose techniques and/or procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions”.
A former Babel Street employee previously told Motherboard how users of Locate X can draw a shape on a map known as a geofence, see all devices Babel Street has data on for that location, and then follow a specific device to see where else it has been.
Cyphers from the EFF added “most of the people whose location data is collected in this way likely have no idea it’s happening.”
CBP has been purchasing access to location data without a warrant, a practice that critics say violates the Fourth Amendment. Under a ruling from the Supreme Court, law enforcement agencies need court approval before accessing location data generated by a cell phone tower; those critics believe this applies to location data generated by smartphone apps too.
“Homeland Security needs to come clean to the American people about how it believes it can legally purchase and use U.S. location data without any kind of court order. Americans' privacy shouldn't depend on whether the government uses a court order or credit card,” Senator Ron Wyden told Motherboard in a statement. “DHS should stop violating Americans' rights, and Congress should pass my bipartisan legislation to prohibit the government's purchase of Americans' data." CBP has refused to tell Congress what legal authority it is following when using commercially bought smartphone location data to track Americans without a warrant.
Neither CBP or Babel Street responded to a request for comment. Motherboard visited the Babel X section of Babel Street’s website on Tuesday. On Wednesday before publication, that product page was replaced with a message that said “page not found.”
Do you know anything else about how Babel X is being used by government or private clients? Do you work for Babel Street? We'd love to hear from you.

Wow that sounds bad right.

Be a shame if it got worse.

.

.

It does.

The software (previously Agincourt Solutions) is sold by AI data company Babel Street, was led by Jeffrey Chapman, a former Treasury Department official,, Navy retiree & Earlier in his career a White House aide and intelligence officer at the Department of Defense, according to LinkedIn.

🙃

So what's Agincourt Solutions then right now?

SO FUCKING SUS IN RELATION TO THIS, THATS WHAT

In essence, synthetic BATTLEVR training is a mixture of all three realities – virtual, augmented and physical. It is flexible enough to allow for mission rehearsals of most types and be intuitive enough to make training effective.

Anyway the new CEO of Babel Street (Babel X) as of April is a guy named Michael Southworth and I couldn't find much more on him than that tbh, it's all very vague and missing. That's the most detail I've seen on him.

And the detail says he has a history of tech startups that scanned paperwork and sent it elsewhere, good with numbers, and has a lot of knowledge about cell networks probably.

Every inch more of this I learn as I continue to Google the names and companies popping up... It gets worse.

Monitor phone use. Quit photobombing and filming strangers and for the love of fucking God quit sending apps photos of your actual legal ID to prove your age. Just don't use that site, you'll be fine I swear. And quit posting your private info online. For activists/leftists NO personally identifiable info at least AND DEFINITELY leave your phone at home to Work™!!!

Apollo Soranus, Highest of the Gods, Holy Guardian of Mount Soracte, we who are foremost among Your worshippers, for You we set to flame the piled pine-wood, and Your worshippers, piously trusting our faith in You among the fires, press our step across the glowing embers.

Ó Febo resplandecente, filho de Zeus Canto a ti na certeza que sua clareza Ilumina a vida e afasta a ignorância funesta É próprio aos mortais entoar o Peã e Queimar os louros em tua honra Pois teu fulgor bondoso nos toma

Tornando a vida algo dedilhado por ti Nós mortais, ó Apolo de Delfos, Deus brilhante Pedimos tua sacratíssima harmonia constante

english:

O resplendent Phoebus, son of Zeus I sing to you in the certainty that your clarity Illuminates life and banishes disastrous ignorance

It is proper for mortals to chant the Paean and Burn the laurels in your honour For your kind glow takes us

More headcanon (boyfuck anon)

You also just sorta vibe with everyone’s opinions. You don’t really care what peoples opinions are. Well, you do and some of them piss you off, but you feel like it’s not your place to say shit unless it’s for argumentative or discourse purposes. You just want people to respect your opinion. You care about respect more than opinions themselves

i didnt ask for you to come into my inbox and slap me in the face with truth thanks tho anon

Hmmmm

I headcanon you as like. Some form of masculine non-binary. Boyfuck type energy

boyfuck / boyfck : a gender that is masculine/a boy but in a transgender, fuck around and find out way!

Aggressive and argumentative because it’s fun and you like to fuck around and start shit. But you can be nice if you want to be. You probably act like you care less than you actually do because you’ve been hurt in the past and struggle with disorders. Maybe low empathy? Or empathy flux.

u are literally right ???? im now using boyfuck from now on that is literally my energy

istg u either know me irl or are stalking me bc this is all basically true what the fuck /lh
