HEY.

I haven't been able to keep up on the whole Dhar Mann lore as of current day, and I'm sorry, BUT FUCK THAT PIECE OF SHIT RIGHT NOW. He's not important at the moment. There's someone else who I really need to discuss. You probably know who this person is if you're in the Sonic fandom.

A few questions for anyone who's new to this person:

1. Do you know who Chris Chan is?

2. If so, what are your thoughts on Chris?

3. Does the character Sonichu ring any bells? If not, here's an official picture of him below:

For anyone who has never heard about Chris Chan, I don't have time to go into the whole lore here because it's not important. You can jump down the CWC rabbit hole on your own. There are MANY documentaries on this person. I recommend Geno Samuel's docuseries on Chris Chan, if you want to know EVERYTHING about this person so far and you're committed to the task.

To sum up Chris Chan in a few words, she's an autistic trans woman who created Sonichu and dealt with a shit load of trolls. Her parents (her late father and elderly mother) have enabled their own child her whole life.

I'm thoroughly disgusted by this person and I don't fucking respect her whatsoever. The ONLY amount of respect I'm bothering to give her AT ALL is using the correct pronouns for Chris when referring to her. That's IT.

Obligatory trigger warning (I am DEAD SERIOUS here, so please listen):

This post will be going into sensitive subject matter such as r@p3, s3xual assault, elder abuse, inc3$t, and Chris Chan ADMITTING TO (ALLEGEDLY) HARMING HER OWN MOTHER. (There will be videos linked in this post if you want to watch them. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.)

If any of those subjects is triggering for you in ANY WAY, or they just flat-out make you uncomfortable, please don't feel like you're obligated to read this post. I understand that these subjects are extremely sensitive, and I'm going to try my hardest to talk about these subjects in the most respectful manner possible. I don't want to bring back any trauma you or someone you know may have. That's the last thing I would ever want to do. Put your mental health and well-being first. Again, like I say with every post that talks about sensitive subject matter that may be triggering or uncomfortable for people, consume media that sparks joy for you.

Any resources that you or someone you know may need will be in this post too. Some countries might not even have resources for things like this locally, but I will try my best to find them.

United States:

Canada:

Latin America:

South America:

ALL European countries:

ALL of Africa:

ALL of the Middle East:

ALL of Asia:

Australia:

New Zealand:

Anyone who's still here, let's get on with the subject of this post, which are the current events in Chris Chan's life.

Recently, Chris Chan has admitted to (allegedly) s3xually assaulting Barbara, her elderly mother. There is audio that was leaked yesterday of her admitting to this very (alleged) action.

One of the phone calls that was leaked is below. This is that full phone call:

Here's a video with the segments where Chris admitted to (allegedly) s3xually assaulting Barbara (WARNING: THE THUMBNAIL IS GROSS):

As of now, Barbara is currently in the hospital for a mental wellness check to see if she's lucid. She's also there for a r@p3 test to see if there was any penetration.

Chris was detained (most likely to be questioned), then released. Her initial plans were to stay with her aunt and uncle, who live near where she and her mother live. Those plans fell through, as apparently they rejected Chris. She's not allowed to have any contact with her mother, or be at the house until August 5th. Their pets are currently left unattended in the house....I don't know who's going to be taking care of the animals with nobody there. I don't know where Chris will be staying for the next few days. That hasn't been disclosed to the public, as far as I've been able to do research on these current events.

I cannot say that Chris has actually COMMITTED THIS CRIME until the test results come in for Barbara, Chris is tried in court, Chris gets a prison sentence, and Barbara is put into a nursing home. That's why I said she (Chris) admitted to ALLEGEDLY committing this crime.

Incest between a mother and son (that's how the crime was written, please forgive me) in the state of Virginia is a Class 5 felony. Class 5 felonies are considered "wobblers", as they can be deemed felonies or misdemeanors, depending on the circumstances. If deemed a felony, Chris could face from one to up to ten years in prison. If deemed a misdemeanor, Chris could face up to twelve months in prison. Because Chris is on disability, they might go easier on her. On the flip side, because of Barbara's age, they might go harder on Chris.

If Barbara happened to be lucid during those events, the charges above would apply. If she wasn't lucid at all and was confused, shit would get VERY serious for Chris.

I also can't exactly say if the phone call is even real; however, there's evidence of Chris admitting to having a fetish for old people, including her own mother. According to a person Chris is friends with, she's had dreams about having s3x with her mother. I also am not sure if Chris is confusing herself with having s3x with fucking MEWTWO, if she was coerced into lying, or if she's hiding something else and decided to say this to cover her own ass. Did I mention she's married to some of her own characters (Magi-Chan, Cryzel, and Sylvana) AND Mewtwo from Pokémon? THAT'S TRUE. YOU CAN LOOK THAT UP IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.

Why do I say that Barbara needs to be in a nursing home? BECAUSE CHRIS OBVIOUSLY ISN'T FIT TO TAKE CARE OF HER OWN MOTHER. I'D LIKE HER MOM TO BE SAFE WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF HER.

This whole situation is disgusting and it makes me sick to my stomach. Chris Chan is a MONSTER. I hope Barbara's okay. I know she's not a very good person either (welp, birds of a feather flock together), but I do have sympathy for the elderly and what happened to her is unforgivable.

Some other YouTubers who have talked about this are Gibi and Rogue The Internet Man, as far as I know for now.

Thoughts at 1230pm

It's finals week here and I've had the absolute week from hell. Most days I've been lucky to get 2 or 3 hrs of sleep at some point, even if just cat naps in my car. Exhausted doesn't even begin to describe it... but... here's the rundown of everything going on! 

Let's start with dad. Earlier in the week I got a call from his ex wife, and text messages from my sisters that dad was screaming at them that he can't walk, he can't get out of bed, and that he hadn't eaten all day and needed them to come over and bring him food. So I leave campus early, walk in the door and he's sitting in his chair pissed off that my sisters refused to bring him food. He was fine. He had had a can of corned beef hash, eggs, and bacon for breakfast, he'd made 2 tv dinners for lunch, and it was 5 pm, and he'd already gone through an entire bag of veggie chips and made a liverwurst sandwhich at some point as well. So... you know... he hadn't had anything to eat all day in the way a dog says he hasn't had anything to eat all day, right after you feed him. :| But man was he LIVID that no one fell for his "boy who cries wolf" bullshit. Those fucking cunts! They better fucking learn to get their asses over here when I tell them to! I'll remember this, I'll make sure they learn their lesson!!!

Yeah.

It gets worse from there. I also caught him self medicating on zoloft. He's been taking 2-3 pills every day more than the ones I've been leaving out for him. The bottle should have had 34 in them, it had 2 so this has been going on for some time. When I confronted him about it, he just brushed it off and said mind my own business, and then that the doctor told him he can take as many as he wants as needed. Yeah, no, it doesn't work that way. See, here's the problem for any of you caregivers out there... there are laws you have to be aware of. One of them is that you cannot deny access to medication unless you have certain powers of attorney. They're adults, you can't treat them like children even if they act like it, even if they are causing self harm. Only the courts can decide that, you cannot, and it's very difficult for a court to rule against an adult who still has their "mental facilities." So while he is self-harming, the social workers and courts have basically said that it's not their place to take away his rights because he's an asshole, they'd only do it if he's incompetent, which he isn't. Where this becomes super tricky is that he has a tendency to throw me under the bus and say things like "well I only take the pills Mike puts in the pill holder, I don't touch anything else." Absolute bullshit, and that puts me in danger of elder abuse and other massive fucking felonies. So a while ago I started documenting everything, taking pics of the holder after being full, and as soon as I caught this new twist, I immediately emailed his doctor and let my sisters know what he was doing. Dear dr, I've noticed that my father has been taking twice the normal dosage of zoloft, I've advised him that this is very dangerous but as he lashes out aggressively when I try and tell him why he has to stop, I need you and the assigned social worker to please counsel him as well and take any steps necessary to prevent this from continuing for his own safety and well being. Of course he exploded that I sent that letter, because he's like Trump when it comes to that whole loyalty bullshit. Hell no i'm not loyal to him, and this way, i'm legally covered.

In additional news, he's been so out of his mind because of the meds and other crap going on, that he destroyed my air fryer and the kitchen faucet. I have to pay 200 for a plumber, and buy a new fryer :| I love that fryer too!

So what has been the cause of his latest acting up/out? He thought he could screw Discover out of a personal loan, and ended up 30k in debt at 21% interest instead! I had just gotten his debt load under 5k a few months ago... now it's going to skyrocket again because he has no way of paying that off, as he somehow spent the money already!

Oh and Marina was supposed to come on thursday, but apparently dad slept through the phone ringing and door bell so she couldn't get in! I always leave the door unlocked when I leave so she can just come in, but apparently he got up at some point and locked it and went back to sleep. I really needed her to clean his room because there's a smell in there that is so god damn bad. Hopefully she comes this weekend! But fuck... we have a god damn deaf phone, so it flashes lights and is super loud in his room, the doorbell is also meant for the hearing impaired and is super loud, gives a vibration off that you can feel throughout the room, and flashes the lights. Remember, he's not deaf... he's a little hard of hearing, but not too bad. He's just a lazy shit who sleeps all day.

Moving on from dad, but sticking with family.... my Aunt passed away the other night from lung cancer. Calling my mom to let her know was one of the hardest things I've ever done and the tears came immediately from her. When Mom and Dad moved to LA, my Aunt was already here and helped them get set up and started. There's a lot of history there, and as many of you know, I don't really have any family because we were all so spread out that I've never met any of my cousins or even aunts and uncles. They never came to visit, we never went to visit, I never got cards or anything, they're names I've only heard in passing. It was just my paternal grandparents out here, and this aunt. Her kids were all grown by the time I was in kindergarten and they all moved far away so I had no relationship with them either. Every time I ended up in the hospital, she was the one who showed up. Not mom, not dad, just my aunt. So. Yeah, this is hard. What's made it harder is that there is a huge fight over her funeral. I've never had to plan for one before, but she had asked me a while ago to take care of it and to make sure her wishes were met and now I know why. I can't believe that there are people who would deny a persons last wishes for a funeral, and just demand that they be cremated by the county instead so that they can have claim to the money set aside for funeral expenses. They've literally screamed at me "THAT'S MY MONEY!" and have filed a challenge with the courts. I'm glad as a UCLA student I get free access to legal representation, but the stress of this is INSANE. Stop being such greedy fucks, it's not like I'm spending this money on myself in any way shape or form... but money that isn't in their pockets, is money stolen... idiots. Fuck them, fuck this family, I'm just going to do what i can to make sure her wishes are met. Fuck this.

Now onto Finals! My take home final for the SCRE class makes no sense. We never even discussed the questions, it's not in our readings, or in the guest lecturers stuff. When we confronted him on it he just said "maybe if you all fail, they'll stop making me teach undergrads!" So... that's an issue and it's due tuesday. Fuck.

I had another final this week that I fucked up on as well. I thought it said 4 pages.... it was 4 PARTS! I could have sworn he said 4 pages in class though, and he was shocked when he got over half of the papers and they were 3-4 pages, because to actually do the 4 parts, it was at least 30 pages. I had budgeted my time so that I would start it at 10pm the night before it was due, that way I'd write it, get some sleep, proofread it, turn it in. It wasn't due till 2pm, so that would work great! Nope. Sat down at 10, read 4 parts... didn't finish it till 9am! I barely skimmed it, grabbed a little sleep, and then drove to class. Fuck. At least I did turn in the full thing, 33 pages, single spaced, 10pt font like he asked. All 4 parts. Done.

One of my research projects hit a major snag as well. We gave our presentation, it went well, and then at the end we were informed that our project will be taken over by a new stakeholder who is going to end the biggest element of our project and instead use us to gather data on a very small, inconsequential thing that none of us care about. its just a pet project of hers, but as she's the stakeholder and the high mucky-muck in the uni, she can do this. We're still in a bit of shock and we'll see what we can do to push back after spring break.

The other one hit a wall. We need data from a certain person to move forward. We've reached out to him multiple times and got ignored for 8 weeks, so my P.I was all "I am meeting with him 11am on friday, why not crash the meeting, and we'll get you what you need?" Perfect! Awesome! So I drove 2 hrs to get there, and... the guy didnt show. He didn't show for his normal work meeting that is super important.... he called in sick apparently... which seems super bullshit... but yeah. We needed that info and data, so that we could spend spring break compiling the numbers and making the charts and maps. But nope, now we have nothing. FUCK.

So ... now some good news: Saw Black Panther this week, I will be a guest lecturer for a class next quarter on combining safety and design principles for architects. For 4 weeks, I'll be giving presentations on NFPA and local fire codes, give a basic understanding of how firefighters handle structure fires and other responses in buildings, and also the importance of creating a building with a safety first, not aesthetics first, mentality. Next fall I'll be a Learning Aid in a class designed for Life Science transfer students who want to explore STEM careers. So ... this should be fun. I've also been hanging out with some new people this quarter which has been fun, we tried a bunch of new food at barney's and rocco's which was hit and miss lol. 5 dollars for 3 tacos is a good deal tuesday nights, the normal price... is not. lol Breakfast sandwich at barneys is awesome, but way too much lettuce, and not enough sausage. We're gonna try a few new restaurants next quarter as well, and we have a bunch of movies playing on campus that I'm excited to see.

Ok, back to cleaning and finals, and maybe a nap soon... be safe everyone, tonight's a wild one for drunks and morons. :|

If Yogi Bear Were God, I’d Have This Thing Wrapped Up

by Don Hall

From a Letter from Pontus Pilate to Tiberius Caesar:

...from that moment I was convinced that the conquered had declared themselves the enemy of the conquerors; and I would warn the Romans to beware of the high Priests of this country. They would betray their own mother to gain office and a luxurious living. It seems to me that, of conquered cities, Jerusalem is the most difficult to govern. So turbulent are the people that I live in momentary dread of an insurrection.

At first I was apprehensive that his design was to stir up the people against the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day in passing by the place of Siloe, where there was a great concourse of people, I observed in the midst of the group a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected, so great was the difference between him and those listening to him. His golden-colored hair and beard gave him the appearance of a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about thirty years old. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a Contrast between him and his hearers, with their black beards and tawny completion!

I extended to him my protection, unknown perhaps to himself. He was at liberty to act, to speak, to assemble and address the people, and to choose disciples, unrestrained by any Praetorian mandate. Should it ever happen {May the gods avert the omen!} should it ever happen, I say that the religion of our forefathers will be supplanted by the religion of Jesus, it will be to this noble toleration that Rome shall owe her premature death, while I, miserable wretch, will have been the instrument of what the Jews call Providence, and we call destiny.

Pilate knew that he was witnessing a new religion forming when he saw Jesus speak. He could see the demise of Roman rule at the hands of this new prophet and gave him the freedom to speak publicly about it. People believe in things that inspire them or provide them with a road to dominance because religion is both a way to codify behavior for oneself and to then enforce that behavior from everyone else.

Back in college, I really wanted to date Diane. OK. That was coy. I wanted to jump her bones. There was chemistry but she was Mormon. Like, full-on Mormon. Her father was an elder at her church. She told me before we could date I had to talk to him first. He invited me to meet at the church.

“You want to see my daughter socially?”

“Well, yeah. Uhm. Yes, sir. I would.”

“We don’t allow dating outside of the church. Would you be interested in coming to some classes and workshops before I give permission?”

“I’m a college student. Classes and workshops are all I do right now, so sure.”

For six weeks I’d go to Mormon school. Diane would check in with me at lunch in the commons area to see how it was going. I sat through spiritual exercises, hour-long seminars on the history of the church, and workshops designed to indoctrinate me into this odd belief system. If something they told me was not unintelligible, it was vague. If neither unintelligible or vague, it was unverifiable.

Yet these decent people believed. They believed in the absurd story of Joseph Smith and his magic glasses and disappearing golden tablets. They believed that multiple marriages primed them to live as gods and goddesses in the afterlife (even though officially they denied this, the classes sure made polygamy seem like the path to follow). There was the whole thing about binding underwear.

“Well, Mr. Hall. You’ve passed your classes. Any thoughts about what you learned?”

I wanted to get into Diane’s pants but not enough to stop myself from being honest.

“Sir, no disrespect intended but I’d sooner believe that Yogi Bear was the Divine Creator before putting my faith in this nonsense.”

While leaving me with a six week case of blue balls the time was instructional although not in the manner expected. I wondered what was going through the minds of people who believed Smith when he told them his bullshit story? I’m certain some thought he was a loon, others thought he was maybe an idiot, but enough people believed that it started a new branch of Christianity. That’s big. A new religion in the midst of so many.

Like Scientology, the Branch Davidians, the Aetherius Society, the Gentle Wind Project, and the Reformed Druids of North America, it seems so many are looking for answers in cults so cults are born on the flimsiest of reasons with nonexistent means to verify their connection to truth.

Turns out it isn’t difficult to start a cult and gain followers.

Step 1: Choose a set of grievances and attribute them to an amorphous enemy.

In the odd quirk of being the only truly conscious animal on the planet, each one of us is the hero (or anti-hero) of our own private movie. Each of us, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, believe that our struggle is the Greatest Struggle (often in spite of all evidence to the contrary). The Cult of Personality functions by breaking that quirk down, effectively convincing people that someone else is the real hero and themselves pawns to his or her victory over the Other. The Cult of Personal Anguish exploits this quirk, enforcing that each of us has Greater Pain than anyone else and by attacking the Other, we each receive our due.

So pick one. Pick some slight you feel personally. Anything that makes you feel all the bad feels. You know, because you are misunderstood and treated with less...whatever you think you deserve. Hell, pick a couple that seem related.

Some examples might include:

You feel objectified by _____. You feel unheard by _____. You feel left out by _____. You feel criticized and shamed by _____. Your choices in life have left you with LESS than _____. _____ are happier or more fulfilled than you

Step 2: Use language to pre-emptively invalidate all criticism or questioning.

This is key. The idea is to take an already agreed upon set of words that denote injustice or abuse and gradually expand the meaning until your specific anguish is cloaked in them. That way, when anyone questions your logical conclusions, you can throw out those words and phrases and shut down dissent.

If someone is critical of a war, they are automatically supporting terrorists. If someone tells an off color joke in the office, he is automatically a sex offender. If someone points out the obvious connection of a flag to slavery, she is automatically attacking your cultural heritage.

By expanding the umbrella that words mean, you destroy the nuances of language. Like when the word "rape" — defined as sexual intercourse without consent — is attached to the word "culture" and suddenly paints a broader brush that covers pretty much anything men say or do. Attaching the word "verbal" to the very specific "assault" amps up the calling of names to felony territory. Add "heritage" to a long standing bigoted "culture" and it seems goddamned noble.

More importantly, let these words and phrases completely dominate your discourse. Find ways to attack anything and everything through the prism of your pain. Eventually you and your followers will begin to lose the ability to see the complexities of living on a rock with seven billion fucking people and only see society through that kalaidiscope of personal misery. The mere opening of a door can be construed as sexist. The practice of women's basic health 97% of the time is completely eradicated because of a legal surgical procedure. Everything a white person says or does is automatically racist in intent.

A Cult of Personal Anguish requires a huge degree of fealty to these horse blinders, this narrowing of the world within the tunnel of your personal oppression or it falls apart under scrutiny.

Step 3: Recruit others who either feel that grievance or gain something by identifying.

In the Age of Constant Connectivity, this is a breeze. White Supremacist groups would be pocketed away in small, dark corners if not for the internet. With this tightening of the world via digital communication, being heard by others who hurt the same hurts as you is easier than ever before. 

There are also on the periphery those who, while they don't exactly feel your specific pain, gain a sense of validation by identifying with it. These "allies" to your cause are good for numbers but don't count upon them if things get tough. While they can assist in many ways, these are just groups of seekers who feel that things aren't quite fair enough for them but have no esoteric pain to attach to. Your cause is like a t-shirt they can wear and feel included in something bigger than themselves. 

Speaking of, sell t-shirts. Your "allies" will buy them. That's how you can tell them from your True Believers and you can make a couple of bucks in the process.

Step 4: Create an “Us vs Them” Mentality

Essential. Without an enemy to blame your grief upon, your cult goes nowhere. Focus lots of energy in pointing out the differences rather than similarities. The similarities weaken your cult. The differences are the fucking gas on the fire. Using Step 2 to amp up the discord, be on a constant attack on the Other. Ignore those other groups who, perhaps, have some of the same grievances because YOUR cause is FAR more important than theirs.

Remember the propaganda of WWII that reduced all Germans and all Japanese to evil caricatures. Observe how FOX News demonizes anyone who doesn't fall in line with their narrow worldview. Find your version of Bobby Jindal or Ben Carson to turncoat against those you see as Them. Remember, this is WAR (because if you attach the word "war" to anything else, it automatically becomes a Big Deal).

Become a Single Issue Proponent. Anyone who is not completely loyal to your cult becomes a part of the cause of your hurt. This is a broad strokes, scorched Earth approach that has succeeded for thousands of years.

When called out on this focus, obfuscate the issue by claiming a broader definition of the problem/oppressor:

"I love all sinners but hate the sin." "When I say 'white people are racist' I mean the system is racist." "I'm not saying Mexicans are the problem. All illegal immigrants steal our jobs..." "I'm not attacking the Good Policemen just the 'bad apples' when I say Kill the Cops." "It's not a war on women. It's a war on what's inside of women."

Once you have these four steps nailed down, go organize. Get a non-profit status or a Super PAC to support you (I mean, while you are out there sowing the seeds of revolution, someone has to pay the bills, amiright?) and legitimize your cult as either a political movement, a righteous cause, or a religion. Look around — there are legal organizations surrounding the pain Christians feel about abortions they don't have, the anguish Southerners have when removing their flag, coercing airlines to increase seat capacity for the Differently Weighted, the misery certain people have when their kids read about evolution, and Online Bullying.

A generation of citizens with crushing debt and few genuine job opportunities can feel bereft of transcendence and meaning, and “becoming woke” fills that spiritual hole. “Woke” is religion without God which strips away all the trappings of what we know of religion, simplifies the complexities of things like racism, income inequality, and the environment, and is really easy. Like Christianity, you profess your wickedness, confess your sins, and tithe to the church and you go to heaven.

Like early Catholicism, you wage war on those unbelievers and call it conversion. Create a moral binary that dictates a ‘with us or against us’ scenario and hammer it home. Spin the soft bigotry of yesterday and make it antiracism. No one likes to be called a racist and with no way to demonstrate that one is not racist, the moral binary takes hold.

I’ve read the books and heard the arguments. I believe most in the current cult are decent people who somehow believe in their movement.

Should it ever happen {May the gods avert the omen!} should it ever happen, I say that the religion of our forefathers will be supplanted by the religion of Kendi and DiAngelo, it will be to this noble toleration that America shall owe her premature death.

As for me? I’d sooner believe that Yogi Bear was the Divine Creator before putting my faith in this nonsense.
