Happy Valentine's Day. Zak has posted his statement, so I'm responding with some of my favorite anti-abuse resources. #AbuseIsNotAGame

For all y'all visual learners: The Duluth Model wheels. I've attached an image of the Power and Control Wheel. theduluthmodel.org/wheel-gallery/
The National Domestic Violence Hotline has some great definitions of abuse, as well as explaining the Power and Control wheel in further detail. thehotline.org/is-this-abuse/…

Love Is Respect has a great "is my relationship healthy?" quiz if you decide you need to gamify your diagnostic tools.

Women's Health dot gov for the US has great resources on how to leave an abusive relationship.

For those of you interested in prevention and restorative justice, NYC Safer Spaces has some great resources.

Thank you to @madfishmonger for these resources in Canada!

Some people asked for a continuation of my #LessWrong abuse thread. Some people told me I was polluting Kathy's legacy and twisting her words. Some people said I made up my abuse, that I threw in Michael Vassar and Andrew Rettek to get more views.

So I guess I'm continuing.
Before I go on, I wanted to thank @davidgerard at @RationalWiki and the folks at r/Sneer Club for helping propagate Kathy's note. I also want to thank @bi_gendian for being an amazing co-spear carrier and friend.
I also want to include links to some of Kathy's works before I talk about my own abuse some more. Her note is what allowed me to come out publicly in a way that could be spread.

#LessWrong and Effective Altruism are cults. I was abused by both Michael Vassar/Arc and Andrew Rettek, both of whom used @slatestarcodex 's writings to emotionally torture me.

Fuck Less Wrong.

Sarah Constantin, who assisted in my abuse, Keller Scholl who tried to step on my boundaries to prove he was cool, his girlfriend who named herself after the wolf that suckled Romulus and Remus but made it very clear I was dangerous because I disagreed...
Ray Arnold the wannabe cult leader, Thomas Eliot who got physically angry at people if they weren't pretty enough to be around him, Eliezer Yudkowsky who kept brilliant women as his "math pets".

Fuck them. Fuck all of them.

Happy Valentine's Day, lovely people.

What do the planets have to say about love? As always, you know I'm going come at it from another angle. Read on!
While Venus is often called the planet of love, sex, and pleasure, each of the planets speaks to us about love.
Love can be defined in practical terms, spiritual terms, psychological, etc. But I'm going to include all of the above and then some as I share what the planets have to say about love.

happy valentine’s day from the albemarle county school board meeting
oberg again voiced his concern about the (imaginary) risks of building a cell tower near a school, but it passes as part of the consent agenda anyway
later tonight we will finally hear discussion of a possible ban of hateful imagery in the school dress code. so much love for @hatefreeacps for their tireless work & leadership on this issue 🖤

Happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful wife.

She's my partner in this adventure we call life.
The picture is from The White Temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand.
I had no idea people would like these photos.

Wat Rong Kun (The White Temple) is bizarre to say the least.

The man in the last photo is Chalermchai Kositpipat. He designed and built.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
