Harm Reduction in the Biography

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:15:16 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

The [[August Casso]] biography identifies harm reduction advocacy as one of August's areas of work. The Main Page also describes the wiki as a personal archive rather than a formal institutional publication.

== Scope of the reference ==
The biography's mention establishes that harm reduction is part of the author's public self-description. The pages reviewed here do not provide a detailed program description, service directory, or clinical guidance. This article therefore does not infer specific services or recommendations.

== Reader guidance ==
For current health or safety decisions, consult qualified professionals and authoritative local resources rather than relying on an autobiographical page. The wiki's first-person material may explain the author's perspective, but it is not a substitute for professional advice. See [[August Casso]] for the biography and [[How to Read Augwiki]] for context on interpreting the archive.

Creative Work and Online Presence

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:15:11 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

The [[August Casso]] biography describes August as a creator and writer and names online content creation among their activities. It also refers to a social-media handle. Augwiki itself is another form of public writing: a collection of articles that connects personal narrative with topic-specific pages.

== Different formats, different context ==
A short social post and a long-form wiki page can serve different purposes. A post may capture a moment; a longer article can add chronology, explanation, and links. Neither format alone guarantees that a claim has been independently checked.

== The archive as an evolving project ==
The Main Page describes Augwiki as a record that will collect accounts over time and identifies August as its maintainer. Pages may therefore change as the archive grows. Readers should consult the current article and its history when the date of a statement matters.

This article summarizes what the wiki says about its own public writing and does not add details about any particular platform beyond the biography.

Public Documentation and Boundaries

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:15:05 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

Augwiki describes itself as a public archive intended to gather explanations and personal accounts in one place. The [[Main Page]] says that the project is maintained by August Casso and also cautions that its stories are personal, potentially biased recollections rather than authoritative evidence.

== Documentation as a purpose ==
The site's stated aim is to preserve context, explain how the author understands events, and allow readers to explore linked topics. A public page can make a narrative easier to revisit and discuss.

== Boundaries for readers ==
Public availability does not make every statement independently verified or appropriate to reuse without context. The Main Page expressly cautions against citing the site as proof in legal or other consequential settings. Readers should distinguish the author's own account from external records and avoid treating speculation as fact.

This guide summarizes the wiki's stated approach. It does not override the content or disclaimers on individual pages.

First-Person Perspective

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:14:59 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

First-person perspective is the viewpoint of the person recounting their own experiences. Augwiki's [[Main Page]] presents its material as August Casso's account of their life, and explicitly notes that recollection is shaped by perspective and the time between an event and its telling.

== Value of the viewpoint ==
A first-person account can convey the author's own memories, feelings, and interpretation in a way a detached summary cannot. It can also explain why a particular event or transition matters to the narrator.

== Limits ==
A narrator's account is not automatically an independent verification of every event or another person's motives. Where an article makes claims with consequences beyond personal reflection, readers should seek reliable corroboration. The Main Page itself warns against treating the wiki as an authoritative legal record.

This page describes a reading lens, not a judgment about the truth of any particular story. For the site's own guidance, see [[How to Read Augwiki]].

The Wisconsin Chapter

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:14:54 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

The [[Main Page]] describes a Wisconsin period between an earlier return to Illinois and August Casso's later return to Colorado. It characterizes this as a chapter that eventually ran its course before the move back to Denver.

== Narrative role ==
In the Main Page's outline, Wisconsin is one part of a larger sequence of changing locations. It provides context for the December 2nd Denver arrival described elsewhere on the wiki, rather than a standalone travel guide or general history of Wisconsin.

== Limits of this summary ==
The wiki gives only a short overview of this period on its Main Page. This article does not supply additional dates, locations, or reasons not stated there. Readers seeking more detail should consult the author's pages as they are expanded and keep in mind that the archive is autobiographical. See [[The Denver Chapter]] and [[The Denver Arrival (December 2nd)]].

Illinois and Spoon River Valley

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:14:48 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

The [[August Casso]] biography describes August's childhood in rural western Illinois and identifies Maquon and the Spoon River Valley as important places in that account. The biography organizes early life and school years into distinct periods, including attendance in local schools.

== Place in the biography ==
The page's narrative distinguishes early childhood in Monmouth from later life near Maquon and school experiences associated with the Spoon River Valley. It describes transitions between school districts and communities as part of the author's personal story.

== Reading this account ==
This article is a brief guide to place names and context used in the biography; it does not add independent historical claims about those communities. The biography is a first-person retrospective and should be read with the site's general cautions about memory and perspective. See [[August Casso]] for the account itself.

The Denver Chapter

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:14:42 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

The Main Page uses “The Denver Chapter” for a narrative transition from Illinois through Wisconsin and back to Colorado. It says August returned to Denver on December 2nd without housing or a safety net, as winter began. A separate article, [[The Denver Arrival (December 2nd)]], is identified there as the focused account of that arrival.

== A chapter within a longer story ==
The chapter is framed as a sequence of moves and changing circumstances rather than as a complete history of Denver. The Main Page specifically says the return followed an earlier period in Illinois and a subsequent Wisconsin chapter.

== Source and perspective ==
This summary reflects how the wiki's Main Page presents the transition. The site's own note on truth and public opinion cautions that the material is personal recollection and should not be used as independently established fact without corroboration. For the author's broader biography, see [[August Casso]].

Memory and Retrospective Accounts

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:14:38 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

Retrospective accounts are written after the events they describe. They can combine remembered details with later understanding, and the distance between an event and its retelling matters when reading them.

The [[Main Page]] of Augwiki explicitly frames its material as recorded from August Casso's present perspective, with time between experience and writing. The biographical page also uses chapter headings and later commentary to organize experiences across many years.

== Keep chronology and interpretation distinct ==
Dates and sequence help orient a reader, while judgments about what an event meant are interpretations. A writer may clarify, revise, or qualify a recollection over time. These layers can coexist in a personal archive.

== A careful reading ==
Treat the account as evidence of the author's remembered experience, not automatic proof of every detail. Where a precise fact matters, look for dated documents or independent sources. Augwiki itself warns readers about bias and the limits of using its pages as official evidence.

The Autobiographical Archive

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:13:52 GMT

Add context article based on Augwiki pages

New page

An autobiographical archive collects a person's own recollections, reflections, and records over time. Augwiki's [[Main Page]] presents the site as August Casso's personal archive and public record. The [[August Casso]] page expands that narrative into biographical periods.

== What this kind of archive can show ==
First-person writing can preserve how its author remembers an event, what they considered important, and how their interpretations changed. Entries may connect otherwise separate periods through recurring themes and remembered transitions.

== What it cannot establish by itself ==
A memoir is not the same as an independent investigation. The Main Page cautions that accounts are shaped by perspective and memory, and asks readers not to treat the wiki as an authoritative source for consequential legal claims. Details should be checked against independent documentation when that matters.

== Reading across pages ==
Augwiki's chapter structure allows readers to move from broad overview to a focused event or period. Links are navigation aids, not a guarantee that each page has outside corroboration. This article describes the form of the archive, not a new account of events.

How to Read Augwiki

98.50.110.115 — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 19:12:47 GMT

Create reader guide based on the Main Page

New page

'''''How to Read Augwiki''''' is a guide to interpreting the personal archive maintained on Augwiki. The [[Main Page]] describes the site as a record of August Casso's experiences and perspective. Its entries are therefore best read as first-person recollections rather than as independently verified reporting.

== Start with the page context ==
The main page introduces the project, links to biographical material, and outlines a chapter concerning the move from Illinois through Wisconsin and back to Denver. Individual pages may focus on a particular period, person, or event. Read an article alongside its linked pages when more context is available.

== Distinguish recollection from corroboration ==
A personal account can be meaningful evidence of how its author remembers and understands an experience. It does not, by itself, establish every detail as independently confirmed fact. The main page explicitly cautions readers about bias, memory, and the limits of using this archive as an authoritative account in legal or other consequential settings.

== Note voice, time, and uncertainty ==
The writing is conversational and often emotionally direct. The account may reflect later interpretation of earlier events; dates and narrative emphasis should be understood in that context. If a page does not provide a source or supporting record, readers should not infer one.

== Related pages ==
* [[Main Page]]
* [[August Casso]]
* [[The Denver Arrival (December 2nd)]]

This guide summarizes the archive's stated approach; it does not replace the site's own disclaimers or the relevant article text.

			== Circumstances Around Birth and Beginnings ==
			When asked about how they were born, Bart told August that one day their mother came home and proclaimed she wanted a baby. Bart's exact wording was: "and I had already had had one, so I was just like sure whatever." They feel coupled with how short the relationship length was post-baby kinda shows why more forethought should be given to such things.

			August was born in the early morning hours of July 24th, 1997. He was a C-Section. His father, Bartley James Case, would arrive late and under the influence of marijuanna. August's mother, Jonna Johnson, would suspect Bart of being late due to infidelity; but there was nothing indicating any truth to that at all. They were unmarried, and probably for the best considering they would end their informal relationship outright and entirely later that same year - when Bart would come home drunk one evening and punch a wall. Throwing out Bart, Jonna then packed up all their belongings and exited the state back to her hometown of Monmouth, Illinois.

			Having finished their redone Lighting final, Alyssa and Jaime would load up the last of the things into her vehicle as the sun began to rise. Jaime would go to the liquor store to grab a bottle for the ride over, and have a hopeful goodbye talk with Jacob Dewey. Then, with much excitement, they would leave. The air was electric and it felt as if the next chapter of their lives began then and there.

			Jaime would sit passenger drinking as Alyssa drove. The route they were taking would have them arriving in Denver, Colorado late that night. Jaime had contacted and planned to stop and see his father, the second instance of ever being able to do so. Upon arrival to Denver metro, they would park in a Walmart parking lot in Arvada and do some light shopping inside the aforementioned store as well as a dispensary on the side of the parking lot, which was directly in front of where they would park the car. Smoking to help sleep, they would drift off first Alyssa then Jaime. Anxiety would creep into Jaime's mind beginning at this time; though it would be vindicated as time went on.

			Upon waking, they would drive to where Bart was staying (Christy Simonsen’s basement).

Bart would have the both of them accompany him as Jaime and himself swapped stories and felt one another out as it was still like speaking with basically a stranger. Jaime would heavily imply their real intention with going to California, which Bart seemingly understood and approved of (though more out of apathy than genuine belief in it being the right call).

			Bart would take them to a mall where he would allow them both to pick out items for themselves to purchase on his dollar. Jaime was very appreciative especially because to them it signaled his father approved of Alyssa and wanted her to feel comfortable and included. He'd then bring them by the Nob Hill Inn, his work, and he and Jaime would pose for a photograph. It would be the last one the two were ever in together, unbeknownst to either at the time.

			Returning to Simonsens', Bart would take Jaime aside and give him some more weed and a bit of money as a parting gift. Feeling even more resolve, Jaime would be hopefull for the future as him and Alyssa left in the early afternoon. The second leg of the drive beginning, it was now only mere hours until their arrival in California. Months of hype, years of dreaming, all mere minutes and hours away.

	Having spent years repeating the same explanations, backstories, and warnings into the open air around their friends and loved ones with mixed results, August decided to put everything down in one place.

They're an open book and therefore have nothing that can be weaponized against them. There is no shame, no mail to black. Because they've already lost everything important anyway.

	Surviving on the street during a Denver winter is brutal. It means sub-zero nights, city sweeps, staying warm, protecting your gear, and figuring out who you can actually trust. Despite the odds, August didn't just survive—he put down roots.

	Through grit, consistency, and street diplomacy, August built community and established a reputation as a steady, reliable, and trustworthy presence in an environment where trust is typically a liability and real loyalty is few and far between.

The Reason for Wisconsin

	'''Arenda''' is a friend of [[August Casso]], a fellow TikToker, and the ~~reason August moved to Wisconsin in the autumn~~ of ~~2023~~.		'''Arenda''' is a good friend of [[August Casso]], their primary social interaction during their first time in Denver during the father months and fallout. Due to circumstances, she would stay with them in Illinois for a brief period before August would travel to her homeland following a fallout with his fucked off family. They were a fellow TikToker, and for the first year+ of knowing one another purely an online friend.

	== The Reason for Wisconsin ==		== The Reason for Wisconsin ==

	August's move from Illinois to Wisconsin was not ~~for work~~, ~~school, or family. It was for Arenda. As August later explained~~ to their ~~grandmother,~~ the ~~plan was simple: stay with August~~'s ~~parents for two weeks, get the money together for rent, and go from there. It did not work out that way.~~		August's move from Illinois to Wisconsin was truly not planned to happen, as they figured due to heightened worries around their well-being in the wake of Bart's death indicated more leeway in regard to accommodating their wishes. if they leveraged themself as reason why she had to be allowed only briefly at the family residence while he acquired cash for renting their own abode, well their parents had to agree. '''They did not.'''

	~~== Darkest Hour ==~~

	~~When Arenda reached out facing immediate homelessness with nowhere safe to turn, August took her~~ in ~~and secretly kept her housed for about a month~~ to ~~keep her off the street~~. ~~When August's mother and step-father found out,~~ they ~~turned on August over it rather than backing them — and August cut ties and headed north.~~

	~~== Snapchat Purge ==~~

	In the ~~first week after arriving in Wisconsin~~, ~~August deleted all but seven people from their Snapchat list and abandoned Facebook after one final parting shot at~~ their parents~~. Arenda was one of the seven who stayed.~~

	~~== October 2023 ==~~

	By late October, August was worried about her. A diary entry from the 21st records Arenda describing a fight with her mother as "having a falling out," and seeming more guarded and standoffish than she had ~~in a long time~~. August speculated about how much of it was stimulant use and how much was circumstance, and suspected Minecraft was an escape from a living situation that distressed her.

Booru Bulk Downloader (Userscript)

98.50.111.140 — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 03:51:00 GMT

Adding August's published userscript to the Work & Systems record.

New page

'''Booru Bulk Downloader''' is a browser userscript written by [[August Casso]] that puts download controls directly onto booru gallery pages, so full-resolution originals can be pulled in bulk without ever opening a post page.

This is the one piece of software in the archive written for a general audience rather than for August's own work: it exists because scraping a gallery one post at a time is a waste of an evening.

== The Script ==

* '''Version:''' 1.0.1
* '''License:''' MIT
* '''Size:''' ~44 KB / 1,122 lines
* '''Runs on:''' Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey, Violentmonkey

=== Install ===

* '''Greasy Fork:''' [https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/599354-booru-bulk-downloader greasyfork.org/en/scripts/599354-booru-bulk-downloader]
* '''GitHub (canonical source):''' [https://github.com/Reduxed/booru-bulk-downloader github.com/Reduxed/booru-bulk-downloader]
* '''OpenUserJS:''' [https://openuserjs.org/scripts/reductedharmgmail.com/Booru_Bulk_Downloader openuserjs.org/scripts/reductedharmgmail.com/Booru_Bulk_Downloader]

== What It Does ==

A '''checkbox''' and a '''download arrow''' land on every thumbnail in a gallery. The checkbox adds an image to the batch — shift-click takes a range. The arrow grabs that one image's full-resolution original immediately. A draggable panel in the bottom-right corner holds the running count, '''Download selected''', '''Save as .zip''', Select all / Clear / Retry failed, and the filename options. '''Alt+D''' downloads the selection; '''Alt+A''' selects everything.

== The Hard Part: Finding The Original ==

The thumbnail <code><img></code> is never the original, and every booru hides the original differently. The resolver works in three tiers, cheapest first, cached per post id:

# '''DOM attribute''' — Danbooru puts <code>data-file-url</code> directly on the thumbnail. Zero extra requests.
# '''Site JSON API''' — <code>?page=dapi&s=post&q=index&json=1&id=N</code> (Gelbooru family) or <code>post.json?tags=id:N</code> (Moebooru family), returning <code>file_url</code> plus tags.
# '''Post page HTML''' — fetch the post page and read <code>og:image</code> and the tag links. Universal, and needs no API key. This is the tier that saves you when a site starts demanding credentials.

Site support is a data array — host regex, item selector, id/link/original extractors, tag source, and API shape — so adding a booru is one object plus one <code>@match</code> line. Anything exposing a <code>data-file-url</code>-style attribute is handled by a built-in generic adapter.

== Filenames Built From Tags ==

Template tokens: <code>{{tags}}</code> <code>{{id}}</code> <code>{{rating}}</code> <code>{{site}}</code> <code>{{user}}</code> <code>{{md5}}</code> <code>{{ext}}</code> — default <code>{{tags}}__{{id}}</code>. The extension comes from the real file URL, not the thumbnail. The sanitizer strips <code>\ / : * ? " < > |</code> and control characters, collapses whitespace, trims trailing dots, guards Windows reserved names (<code>CON</code>, <code>LPT1</code>), truncates on a tag boundary at roughly 170 characters, and suffixes <code>_2</code> on collisions inside a batch.

== Download Engine ==

<code>GM_download</code> first, for a real download-manager entry with the exact filename requested; then <code>GM_xmlhttpRequest</code> → blob → object URL → <code><a download></code>. A bare <code><a download></code> is deliberately never used on its own, because the attribute is ignored cross-origin and would simply navigate the tab. Concurrency is a limited pool (default 3), with per-item success/error state and a retry action.

== What Was Verified, And What Was Not ==

Markup and APIs were checked against live sites rather than assumed:

* '''safebooru.org''' — <code>span.thumb > a > img.preview</code>, tags already present in <code>img[title]</code>; dapi JSON fields confirmed.
* '''konachan.net''' — <code>ul#post-list-posts > li#p<id></code>, <code>post.json?tags=id:N</code> answered 200. This one exposed a real trap: the true original is <code>a.original-file-unchanged</code> → <code>/image/…</code>, while <code>a#highres</code> is only the converted <code>/jpeg/</code> "larger version" and <code>og:image</code> is the <code>/sample/</code>. The selector list prefers <code>/image/</code> accordingly.
* '''Not verified live:''' Danbooru, Gelbooru.com and e621 — written from their published conventions, and they degrade to the HTML tier if the faster tiers miss.

Building it also caught a junk <code>?</code> pseudo-tag from the tag-link scraper, an operator-precedence bug in the e621 id resolver, and a dead generic fallback.

== Known Gotchas ==

* '''Chrome blocks the second automatic download''' unless ''Automatic downloads'' is allowed for the booru host in site settings. <code>GM_download</code> dodges most of this, not all of it.
* '''Gelbooru.com and rule34.xxx now require an API key''' for the dapi. Paste your <code>api_key</code> and <code>user_id</code> into the script's options, or let it fall through to the slower, key-free HTML tier.

== Publication ==

Published in October 2026 to three hosts, each independently verified rather than assumed:

* '''Greasy Fork''' — listing live, served file matches the release apart from the two <code>@updateURL</code> / <code>@downloadURL</code> lines Greasy Fork injects.
* '''GitHub''' — <code>Reduxed/booru-bulk-downloader</code>, public, the canonical source.
* '''OpenUserJS''' — served source confirmed byte-identical to the release, 44,970 bytes and 1,122 lines.

The OpenUserJS upload initially failed with <code>400 Selected file is not JavaScript.</code> despite the correct filename and byte count. The cause was the multipart part type: the attached File reported <code>text/plain</code> because the staged resource used the default MIME. Staging it with a JavaScript MIME made the File report <code>text/javascript</code> and the upload went straight through. The bytes were never the problem.

	August's most viral piece to date is a deep-dive into the early internet acronym '''SWIM''' (''"Someone Who Isn't Me"''), which dominated forums like [[Bluelight]] in the late 1990s and 2000s. August analyzed how forum posters believed typing "SWIM" protected them from federal self-incrimination while sharing chemical synthesis or subjective substance experiences, explaining its linguistic legacy and eventual demise as a legal non-starter.

Arenda

Creating life-infobase page (Augwiki repurposed from field manuals).

New page

'''Arenda''' is a friend of [[August Casso]], a fellow TikToker, and the reason August moved to Wisconsin in the autumn of 2023.

== The Reason for Wisconsin ==

August's move from Illinois to Wisconsin was not for work, school, or family. It was for Arenda. As August later explained to their grandmother, the plan was simple: stay with August's parents for two weeks, get the money together for rent, and go from there. It did not work out that way.

== Darkest Hour ==

When Arenda reached out facing immediate homelessness with nowhere safe to turn, August took her in and secretly kept her housed for about a month to keep her off the street. When August's mother and step-father found out, they turned on August over it rather than backing them — and August cut ties and headed north.

== Snapchat Purge ==

In the first week after arriving in Wisconsin, August deleted all but seven people from their Snapchat list and abandoned Facebook after one final parting shot at their parents. Arenda was one of the seven who stayed.

== October 2023 ==

By late October, August was worried about her. A diary entry from the 21st records Arenda describing a fight with her mother as "having a falling out," and seeming more guarded and standoffish than she had in a long time. August speculated about how much of it was stimulant use and how much was circumstance, and suspected Minecraft was an escape from a living situation that distressed her. August gave her their phone to keep her as comfortable as possible, and hoped she would end up joining the same staff — so they could at least spend more time together.

Linda Johnson

Creating life-infobase page (Augwiki repurposed from field manuals).

New page

'''Linda Johnson''' is [[August Casso]]'s grandmother — the only blood August had. Operative word being, had.

== The One Who Cared ==

Linda was the only member of the family who called, wrote, and kept in contact. August put it plainly in the letter they wrote to her after months of silence:

:''"I love you, grandma. The fact you call, write, just interact with me is more than literally anyone else in our family does. You're the only one who cares."''

That letter was written to quell her anxieties after August spent roughly three months out of contact while surviving a Wisconsin winter with thirty dollars to their name. Her worry, August wrote, came only from how much she cared — and they wanted her to know the worst of it was already behind them.

== Childhood ==

Linda was August's favourite relative to visit growing up. She bought them books, let them watch television, and let them play the SNES — "just the best family I could ask for." August spent most weekends at her house during the school year, and almost the whole of every summer, because their parents worked long hours.

She was also the family's holiday constant: Linda would come and spend Christmas Eve into Christmas Day at their home, until her health no longer allowed it.
