Early in the month, Facebook decided that something about the "account integrity" of my account was off, and so it suspended my account. Not Facebook jail, but rather "your account no longer shows up for anybody." I was given one single appeal, probably to an AI, without having the slightest fucking clue what "account integrity" means, or why it means I was suspended. I had that account since at least 2009, Alex has had his just as long and hasn't run into this issue at all. But oh, fuck me I guess.

Worse, the lone appeal failed, and now that account is permanently suspended. Facebook offered me a download of my account's information, which 1. is a bit weird given the "account integrity" thing, and 2. did not include any of my photos or videos or anything I actually give a fuck about.

After thinking about whether I even wanted to try for a new account for a few days, I tried today to make a new account. I had to make a new Google account for a new Gmail address, then tried to make a new Facebook account with that. It seemed promising, though it included taking a video selfie that I don't think worked right because one, the replay didn't display right, and two, I thought "upload" meant "upload a video from your computer" and so after the one that Facebook took failed to replay, I was going to upload one I made myself, since I went through the rigamarole a second time with my computer's webcam, but "upload" did not mean what I thought it meant; it instead meant "this shitty video we claimed to take and then fucked up (and yes, I checked the webcam was uncovered first) is what you're submitting."

And then naturally it figured out with the more accurate name (Fay Arts instead of Fayanora whatever) and the new email address that it was me even before the facial recognition bullshit. (Which Alex has never had to go through.) And what happened instead of getting a new Facebook account was it linked the new account attempt to the old account and gave the same bullshit answer about account integrity.

I am at my fucking wits ends with this bullshit. Does anyone know if there's a way to contact a human being in customer service on Facebook/Meta to get this bullshit straightened out? Because if there isn't, then I may just give up. If this can't be fixed then FUCK Facebook up its every orifice with rabies-infected knives. Even Alex is thinking of giving up on Facebook if I can't fix this shit.

Only other thing I can think of is to come up with a new ID entirely with a different name and email address and so on, and avoid putting any photos of myself on it at all, because Alex doesn't have any photos or videos of himself (IYK,YK) and he's never had any issues. Nor did Pi with his Svaenohr account when he was using it. Not sure how I would tell all my friends it was me without Facebook nuking the account, though, so... not sure if I want to do that or not. Because if I try it and it doesn't work, I'll be angry enough that I would hex Meta's servers with a spell to make all their fucking servers melt into slag.

I mean I suppose I could set up an email account with no connections at all to any of my others, with an address something like "facebooksucksshitoutofanasshole@dieinafirezuckerberg.com" and name the alter ego something like Harry Fangballs or Eris R. Kayahs or something. Though with the enshittification of the Internet these days, I'm worried it might require the use of a VPN to get away with that, even though again, Alex's account is still fine.

Just finished writing 90% of a very exciting chapter, will have to do part two tomorrow or something, as the chapter ended at a cliffhanger.

Rebuilding journal search again

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Idea fishing again.

Been thinking of creatures that live in the forest of Tirffiniol, not just from folklore but just coming up with ideas, mainly for an upcoming scene in book 7. Deer sized or smaller, magical or mundane, but preferably things that would be terrifying yet mostly harmless. The scene I have in mind is going to be a mostly safe but scary adventure in some woods at night with wards that keep out anything too dangerous to be around kids, with a preliminary scene of the same area of the woods during the daytime for them to see animals that won't scare them off from going in at night.

While some animals there are related to Earth animals by way of Earth animals occasionally falling through the Veil into Tirffiniol and using the high magic there to evolve in many interesting ways, most species there are not related to Earth animals. But they may look like Earth animals or something that could exist on Earth, via convergent evolution.

Even if you can't think of anything specific, I love hearing ideas because then the ideas mix in my brain and give me amazing ideas like some recent ones: carnivorous deer the size of cats that climb trees, something resembling a cross between a monkey and an owl, and spider-like things the size of pomelos.

Also feel free to draw from stories you know of various cryptids, small humanoid creatures, and anything spooky you can think of, especially as doing so might jog my memory of similar stories.

Oh, I also want to note this is in the part of Tirffiniol you can only get to by portalling in from Earth in the pacific northwest region, so I'm shying away from cryptids and mythological beings from places other than North America unless they resemble something we have in North America such as how a peryton is a winged deer (and also I have griffins of various sizes), and also selecting for roughly the same sort of ecosystem/climate/landscape as the Pacific Northwest, IE mostly forested, hilly and interspersed with mountains and buttes, and has a wet season; just a little bit drier and interspersed with fields of what looks like grass but only looks that way because of convergent evolution. (These "grass" fields are big enough that massive, elephant-sized unicorns graze in these fields, only going through the wooded areas to get to more grazing areas. But Fae Springs is on top of a cliff on the other side of a ravine from most of these grassy areas, and leans more towards the forested side.)

But that's more for me to worry about. Just hit me up with ideas if you feel like it.

Scary dream

Just woke up from a dream where I had some kind of lengthy bit of thorny vine stuck in my thigh, and even though I was trying very carefully to take it out, I botched it so badly it tore my thigh wide open into such a gaping wound that I was afraid I'd die before I could get to the emergency room.

Thankfully, I then had a false awakening where I proceeded to freak out and cry about that nightmare in my sleep until I recognized I was still asleep and promptly woke up before something worse could happen.

Interestingly, I did not freak out or cry upon actually waking up. And thankfully, there was no real world pain inspiring the leg thing. Now I just have to hope I'll never have that particular dream ever again.

I still eagerly await news of her demise.

How the fuck is this woman simultaneously so untrusting of people she thinks are men in dresses, and yet so very trusting of actual men? This is a new low for her, even though it's the kind of ridiculous, self contradictory cognitive dissonance that Christianity is infamous for.

Also, she's basically like "I'm going to try to protect women from people I am wrongfully accusing of being sexual predators by encouraging women to be sexual predators."

Because yes, seriously, what she is advocating here is a sex crime and if it were actually treated that way by law enforcement the way it should be, anyone who does this would be put on the sex offender registry and probably go to prison as well.

If there is a God, I hope She makes a Hell specifically for J. K. Rowling, and I hope her Hell is being reincarnated as a 'boy' with all her memories from her present life intact. I can think of no more fitting punishment for her transphobia than her being forced to be trans herself.
