Boss shit
It's called a stingray. The way these work is they simulate a cell tower. Your phone is programmed to connect to the strongest cell phone tower. The device is small enough that it can be carried in a car. As such, law enforcement or other groups with access to one can simply drive around a protest and collect your data. If you absolutely need a phone, cryptophones have IMSI capture countermeasures or alerts. Please research cryptophones before buying one as not all are made equal and some wont have these features. The only way to be truly safe is to leave your phone at home.
State law enforcement tends to be extremely secretive about the use of Stringray. Some states require law enforcement to have warrents to use these, but it has been seen that law enforcement will use these in nearly all investigations regardless of having a warrant. States confirmed by the ACLU to have these devices are, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Alaska, Missouri, New Mexico, Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Delaware, California, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Maryland, and New York. If your state is not on this list, it does not mean that they are not using this device. It just means police haven't disclosed usage.
I'm sorry but it's way too sketchy to have to "sign up" for a protest. There's no reason you should have to give anyone your full name, email, phone number, and/or address in order to march in the streets. People are getting arrested left and right because cops have access to information that connects people to the protests they were at. If an organization is having people "sign up to join the fight," all the cops need to do is access that list.
Just go. Don't leave a fucking paper trail.
I bet it feels good as fuuuuck to slightly draw your sword with all the other knights in anger when a treacherous knave shows their face in the court
do you ever form close relationships with people in your dreams and then feel a little sad when you wake up
Please keep work place safety in mind at all times

You can call me Mima. Im an avid Touhou fan, and i love playing and talking about the games. Despite not being very good at them, I insist on playing Lunatic. First Windows era is my favorite. If it's not obvious, Mima is my favorite. Currently, Folded Letters is a bit of a misc blog, but i will make some sub blogs to reorganize once i have energy again. Im obsessively falling into HDG, so expect to see a lot of that content. I love mechs and the worlds and lore surrounding them. Please send me mech stuff, i will love you forever for that.
Im poly and surrounded by loving dorks who make me so happy. I might talk about them all now and again. If you dont like that, then unfollow me and dont interact with me. We are consenting adults, and it's not your problem.
Trans rights are Human rights, and if you disagree, i will brick your godsdamn windows with tungsten cubes.
me: I will do things when I am less tired
me: *never becomes less tired*
me: oh no
Mech piloted by neural link and the more you see it as "yourself" the more fluidly you can control it but the more pain you feel when it takes damage
You can be safe in your mech as a vehicle, under heavy layers of armor and ready to eject if things go wrong, seeing the world through grainy cameras as you drag it forward one clunking step at a time and struggle to track a fast-moving target
Or you can dance in your mech as your body, engine revving in time with your heartbeat as you feel the wind across your metal skin, the heat of the gunshots you're just barely dodging a constant reminder that if your mech dies you die with it
