''Is it ableist if I don't want to speak to any of my friend's alters?'' Let's start off simple: Yes, It is. But, allow me to explain why It's ableist. I feel like this type of saying coming from singlets Is a big problem that comes from misunderstanding and lack of research. Many singlets often don't know anything about how DID/OSDD works, and end up saying things like this as a result. DID/OSDD forms In childhood. If your system friend, Is, for example, 13 and FOUND OUT (important keyword here) they were a system, then they didn't just create their system right off the bat. They found out. And let's remember here that your friend wasn't a singlet before discovery, they simply found out about the disorder and their alters! They are an alter, too. There Is no 'original' personality, you have already spoken to their alters before, too. You just didn't know it, and neither did they! Saying ''I don't want to speak to your alters'' Is ableist, and very disrespectful at that. They're an alter too. They all are, and they're not any different from the host, or any alter that you have spoken to before. If you're a singlet with system friends, please do your research instanstly Instead of assuming things like this. They WILL appreciate you trying to understand them. Don't be afraid to reach out to resources or research websites. Please remember. Be respectful. And if they allow it, don't be afraid to ask questions. My system personally always appreciates questions about DID/OSDD, and we're always happy to answer. For systems, I know singlets may struggle to understand. But please give them time and resources to learn, have patience and allow them to understand you, even if it's just a little. thank you for coming to my tedtalk

WAIT

I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

Was looking for a book today when I saw these various animal books all on the same shelf and noticed their titles made a nice little impromptu poem about veterinary medicine
