xxx.4 true story
this is actually a true story, but we are going to avoid using names, because although it’s a matter of public record, the woman it is about has spent years trying to escape it. so why even tell it? it is worth understanding. that is why. we hope she is happy and safe and that

∅.2 recreational mindfxxxing, a guide
sian isn’t a terrible hypnotist. their hypnosis method is their own. they have tried others, including the most common variants used in secondlife (the one sian has seen most is where the subject sits and gazes at a rotating spiral, and the words of the hypnotist are superimposed over it). sian’s version, which works on

xxx.1 pixelising out the gacha
(look, you already clicked on the adult content button. if you’re offended by trans nudity, just go somewhere else, all right?) sian is, intentionally, out of the loop. so. occasionally, on logging into secondlife, sian’s rlv doesn’t kick in fast enough and some group chat pops up before the im block has activated, and sian

∅.n mindwipe
“sex is now a conceptual act, it’s probably only in terms of the perversions that we can make contact with each other at all. the perversions are completely neutral, cut off from any suggestion of psychopathology—in fact, most of the ones i’ve tried are out of date. we need to invent a series of imaginary

0.1 antisocial
the last time sian had a blog, everything was linked up with the socials. sian was an early adopter of this: facebook, twitter, flickr, even plurk (plurk is a weird one, being an also-ran twitter competitor from the far east that’s literally only used west of singapore by people in secondlife, but which is also,

xx.xy tryouts
it took a long time for a lot of us to realise it, but one of the unexpected, unintended niches of secondlife has been its use as a testing ground for trans identity, for the sexuality of unaccustomed bodies, a relief from a dysphoria we might not even have known we had. We wanted to

0.0 expendable
there is a moral calculus often made by supposedly progressive communities that considers the wrong sort of queer people expendable. so you get situations like the one with isabel fall, where a trans person wrote a thing that was powerful and angry and provocative and transgressive and paid for it. because she was not performing

7.0 purity
what does it mean to be good? sian struggles with this; their neurodiverse self-perception in both worlds as a hollow mannequin imperfectly aping human affect (and their horror of that) combines with the fact that they have in the past done some terrible things. they produced a large body of work that was racist, for

6.0 transverbal
this morning sian’s rlv chat redirect stopped working altogether, and because it’s locked, they couldn’t do anything about it. to their own surprise, rather than just talk normally, they decided not to talk at all, only using their communications implant light for yes and no. a friend stepped in who was wearing an avatar charm,
