Two years of memories and a new path forward... It’s now been two years since I debuted as a VTuber. This journey means the world to me and I want nothing more than to keep creating and connecting with all of you for many more years. I was deeply moved by the love on my last post and seeing that support gave me the courage to finally be honest about my current situation. While I always preferred to keep things light and positive here, I owe you the truth regarding the reasons why I’ve been quiet and away from streaming for over two months. The past year has been incredibly difficult. My trust has been broken repeatedly by people I considered close and I’ve been struggling in a toxic environment that turned me into someone I no longer recognize. Recently, I was also diagnosed with severe depression and health complications that have made it hard to function. I’ve been scared to speak up for the longest time but things have become heavier than I can handle and I’ve reached a breaking point: I am currently in an unstable situation and need to relocate to a healthier environment so I can focus on my own well-being and recovery through professional help. This is why I will be hosting a Donothon for my 2nd Anniversary. My goal is to cover these urgent relocation and medical expenses so I can heal and return to being the version of myself that I strive to be for you and for myself. Any support—whether through donations or just being there, means everything to me and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for being my light during this dark time 💚 With love, Chaeri

I came across this and assumed it must be faked, given how painfully transparent and on the nose this appalling writing is. But it is genuinely from an official James Bond novel: On His Majesty's Secret Service by Charlie Higson. The book was published in 2023.

France lost 18M private citizen Digital IDs to hackers. They got biometric passports, national ID cards and driver’s licenses. Today the King of England announced a sweeping Digital ID initiative. All this means is that hackers will breach it all and over time, have it all. Age verification has the same problems. Your data is secured by the gov's lowest bidder. The age of privacy is over and there is no way to secure any of this. It's a matter of when, not if.
