It's OK to be confused. It's OK if parts of your identity seem contradictory.

Sexuality is so weird when you're dissociative. I guess it is just weird in general, but we've been identifying as a lesbian for almost a decade, but I as an alter am a guy who's into guys. Everyone of us seems to be pretty aroace however, so it's not really that much of an issue for us anyway, but it's still confusing. It is liberating to say labels are fake anyway and just go with the flow tbh. We aren't looking for any relationships as it is currently, so like who tf cares what label we use

…psychiatry assumes that society does not cause distress in biologically normal people, who are considered biologically normal at least in part because they are economically productive. This assumption permits the conclusion that if a person is distressed to the point of unproductivity, it is because that person—not society—is abnormal. Thus, psychiatry’s commitment to biological essentialism not only masks the role of the constructed sociopolitical environment in creating distress but depoliticizes it by characterizing that allegedly irrational distress as induced by biological abnormality.

[I.D. an edited version of the "is this a pigeon" meme. A man with glasses, captioned "my overstimulated ass" points at a butterfly, captioned "someone making an annoying noise". At the bottom of the image, a dialogue caption reads "is this a crime deserving the death sentence?" end I.D.]

Briana Boston faces terrorism charges and CEOs are getting free therapy

Briana Boston is a 42 year old mother of three from Florida who is under house arrest for expressing her frustration at her insurance (which she PAYS for) who denied her claim. She owns ZERO guns and doesn't have a criminal record.

She was originally held in prison for $100,000 bail. They have not dropped the charges and she is under house arrest even after widespread backlash.

They are trying to charge her with terrorism. They want her to spend 15 years in prison.

They are calling her a Luigi Mangione copycat. As if she killed someone. She made a indirect, not at all credible threat.

Meanwhile...

I want every woman who has ever faced threats online, stalking, etc to bring this Briana Boston up at every opportunity. Every time you were told by police that there was nothing they could do, know that they not only CAN do something, but they WILL do something, just not for you.

it makes me sad that the same few conditions consume disability discussions. the disability community is so diverse and I know there are other people out there who have diverse experiences. I think the community needs to do a better job of lifting up the voices of people with rare conditions (or even just conditions that aren't spoken about) I want to hear from people who have different experiences from mine. people with rare diseases often have very unique experiences and it's really shameful that we don't get to hear those voices very often.

anyways, if you have a rare disease (hEDS is not rare) or a condition that isn't talked about often feel free to promote your blog or share something on this post.

When you're finally able to front again after some child alter you don't know kept having flashbacks for like two days

She's stuck in time somewhat. At least we knew that is wasn't actually the year 2000 and that we weren't actually a little child, it just felt that way and we kept having internal images of our home when we were around like baby to 7 years old pop up in our mind. Idk if she's a fragment or an alter who's been hidden away since we were that age

Bro istg we switched mid writing this lmfao how do other systems even manage to track switches? We simply forget or the alter fronting is like "nah i dont want to think about that" 💀

Man ok I think im going into rapid switching or something, I feel like my brain is put into a tumble dryer and it is being tossed around
