Reactivating temporarily to send a warning. Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience. It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc. Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere. And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself. I will be deactivating in 20 minutes. Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

EP Review: Shobijin Shobijin snuck into existence quietly. Their debut EP, which is not self-titled but is actually called self-titled, was dropped with little fanfare in early January, yielding no prerelease singles. Th...

Read @yourdeeprest.bsky.social's review of Shobijin's debut EP "self-titled"! The band blends shoegaze, post-hardcore, + grunge, but mostly it just has a ~vibe~, sort of like if Title Fight and Deftones started an emo band. Read the review + listen below:
