Read / watched Sacheen Littlefeather interviews and came to a sympathetic view of her identity. Wrote how @SFChronicle opinion writer Jacqueline Keeler knowingly used an incomplete genealogy and string of media errors to smear Sacheen’s legacy
voshart.medium.com/the-crashing-o… #longreads
Also shared an analysis of @jfkeeler and @VedarHe that strongly suggests they are run by the same person. If true, she used the account to astroturf Sacheen’s sister @truthjusticenw and others.

@jfkeeler @VedarHe @truthjusticenw The one about a likely Alt account was going to be part of the Sacheen blog but it got too weird and strangely funny. I could be wrong and I didn't want the distraction. Jacqueline has yet to confirm or deny. (Doesn't mean guilty)

You can read either one first. Dear Jacqueline Keeler,  As you know, I have been critical o
I hope the 18 writers who republished Jacqueline’s opinion uncritically have a chance to read it
The forceful denouncement by Native twitter actually stopped news from hitting large, reputable news sites uncritically. Tagging journalists below who still need convincing:

There’s WAY MORE @jfkeeler BS that was fact-checked but had to be cut out for the sake of length and readability. I can probably respond to them here if you’re interested.
Final note: Fact-checking someone who claims to be fact-checking is kinda infuriating. Please unfollow @jfkeeler

Sacheen is not listed on the Screen Actors Guild's In Memoriam Page. What is going on @SAGawards? @frandrescher, please read ⏫
18 hours later she responds asking me for my documents. LOL
The blog of "unverified statements" is this.

It's deliberately vague to maintain privacy. I'm certainly not going to share family details with her rink-a-dink crew of anti-Black racists, a witch and a rapist. No thanks. voshart.medium.com/pretendian-con…
Like, one of her collaborators self-identifies as a witch.

Giving witches a bad name.
Just going to preemptively say sooner rather than later the odds of @VedarHe being run by @jfkeeler alone has dropped after some new info. Account more likely run by two people.

Broke my wrist two months ago so I relied on new machine learning models to keep "making art".

Deep-dive 🧵 about the things I learned in my thousands of #dalle2 prompts and why I've decided *not* to sell the finished product. ImageImage
Late July, an SUV hit me while I was in the bike lane. They didn’t look or signal as they turned right.

I got a concussion, two fractures in my dominant wrist, roadrash etc. Driver was charged at the scene.

Luckily only my wrist and helmet cracked. It could have been worse. Image
Prior to the accident, I was experimenting with text-to-image AIs: Wombo, Midjourney, Disco Diffusion, DALLE2, and Stable Diffusion.

None had much use in my role as Set Designer on Star Trek.
1. Too much digital *garble*
2. Intellectual property concerns. (more on this later)

Roughly half of Quebec has Indigenous ancestry. About 5% identify as Métis.

Pernicious academics are calling them "fake".

There is sub-zero trust in many Indigenous communities (rightly so) and people like Darryl Leroux exploit it mightily for... attention and a few book sales.
The government of Canada has a GIGANTIC problem.

Potentially millions of people in Quebec considering themselves Indigenous. Reconnecting with communities, learning from elders the truth about the settlement of Canada.
So our public broadcaster stoops to quoting eugenicists. Amplifying voices of people who are saying that *so and so* isn't reserve enough. Hasn't suffered enough.

There is truth to it but what is the end result?

Disunity.

Anything that promotes disunity is good for Canada.

1/Not many people seem to be giving @NORTHERNGRRL the benefit of the doubt and I find this concerning.
cbc.ca/news/indigenou…
2/ As a filmmaker in Canada with a vague mixed ethnicity my approach was to simply not say anything about my background.

As a suburb kid I had no real cultural identity. I just thought about computers and cameras. Nerd culture. Tech culture.
3/ Fast-forward through university (film), I'm getting by as a cinematographer.

Get asked by a director I work with a lot to shoot a week-long travel doc on an aboriginal and non-aboriginal student exchange program.

What did I do during quarantine? 54 Machine-learning assisted portraits of the Roman Empire.

For this project, I transformed or restored (cracks, noses, ears etc.) over 800 images.
medium.com/@voshart/photo…
Using the neural-net tool Artbreeder, Photoshop and historical references, I have created photo-real portraits.

54 Emperors spanning The Principate (27 BC to 285 AD). Image
Each Emperor was (hopefully) meticulously documented.

Whenever possible, eyes, hair etc. was matched to historical texts. Here is what I have for just Augustus. 🔗medium.com/@voshart/appea…

@PrisonPlanet Forensic video consultant here: Can you please share a google drive link to the file you originally uploaded to twitter? Thank you.
@PrisonPlanet It appears the issue may have something to do with frame blending and -maybe- a drop-frame. Need original upload to know for sure. Thanks.
@PrisonPlanet There is a difference. I'll need the original upload (not compressed by twitter) to take a closer look.
