FRACTAL
July 23rd 2006. When a transport ship capsized, an unidentified liquid leaked into the ocean. It formed a perfect Mandelbrot’s fractal pattern. In the following months, strange fish were reported in the area.
Little did we know, this was only the beginning. (🧵)

September 2006. Hurricane Julia approaches the US East Coast. Its strange fractal patterns and iridescence can’t be explained by meteorologists. Organisms put in contact with it would begin developing odd symptoms in the following days.

I don't use Adobe's Creative Cloud because I like keeping my files locally.
But seeing how they think they can use anything you upload there for AI training purposes, I'm filling up my entire 20 GB storage with random Nightshade-poisoned images.
I encourage others do the same!

We all better get used to explaining what an AI image generator is quick, because we're about to see a new wave of endless machine-made disinformation sent directly to our parents' less discerning eyeballs. And no fact-checker is going to be able to keep up. "Yeah mom, you know that app that turned my face into a drawing? Yeah, the japanese-style ones. Well that picture of Joe Biden eating a kid was made the same way. No mom, not by the japanese. It's a machine."

Last surviving photographs from the secretive De La Cruz family. Mexico, 1910s-20s.
The following documents were smuggled out by Adrián de la Cruz, a disowned relative. According to him, the thing in the photo is who the family called "Tío Alfredo". The De la Cruz were local landowners. They lived in an isolated estate in Morelos for generations, surrounded by croplands and pastures. They were rarely seen outside, leading locals to circulate many rumours about the family and their sickly disposition.

Happy Pride!
Feel free to use these found footage pride flags to scare the phobes! (thread) The flags in the tweet above were: trans, bi, asexual and pansexual.
The ones below: nonbinary, lesbian, genderfluid and intersex!

Norway, 1953. Erling Jørgensen, a local journalist, visits the isolated parish of Hernes, accused by many of being a cult.
His unpublished notes and photographs are the only remaining source on this group, and the events that culminated in its destruction. The small parish was based around a modern church. Though initially unremarkable, starting around 1947 the community would take an isolationist turn.
Parishioners started shunning external contact except for the occasional missionary, sent to recruit people into the group.

Does anyone remember those old "Not-People" conspiracy websites? They claimed there were some entities pretending to be human online, catfishing people. They said you could sometimes see their disguises "slip". I wonder if there are people that still believe that stuff! I got reminded of this because I had a strange interaction recently. This user appeared on my twitch channel, their messages were mostly coherent but always a bit off... I assumed English was just not their first language, no big deal. But then it got weirder.

In 2005, a group of friends reportedly got lost in an "empty city" while traveling Europe. Their train to Prague made an unexpected stop, and they got off in a nameless town. Buildings were solid, windowless. "There was a crowd, but no people in it. They moved like clockwork." Empty cars drove in synchrony, without need for traffic lights. Streets had no names. Billboard ads showed senseless items.
One of them would describe the place as "the idea of a city."
They left after waiting in the station for an entire day, until a real train arrived.

Skeleton recovered from the Le Lanchon experiments on human evolution.
In these tests, volunteers were subjected to procedures to "accelerate the development of mankind". No subject is recorded to have survived. Their crab-like form is thought to be an instance of carcinization. //#Eerievember2021 Prompt 9: Rapid Evolution Echo Chamber.
Now, here's what happens when I base a whole story on a meme. Let us all pray we one day advance to crab, our final and perfect form. Claws up! 🦀

Calcium hyperproficiency is a rare complication of vitamin D deficiency, where excess calcium from bone resorption forms complex structures resembling primary teeth.
Neoformed teeth grow on different bones, such as this patient's hand, causing fractures and joint dysfunction. //#Eerievember2021 Prompt 8: Calcium Hyperproficiency

Since I already see some of the reactions coming, I just want to make it very clear: this is Photoshop! Calcium Hyperproficiency is not real and you shouldn't worry.

Reminder that if you are a TERF and interact with me in any way you will be dunked on. These images go hard, feel free to screenshot.
