i wish there was some kind of @ mutuals thing to tag all my mutuals at once. would have been a cool thing to see on the social blogging website. ah, well, missed opportunities.

anyway, with the whole "we're basically giving up on this website and gutting the moderation/support team" thingy going around i'm going to be pursuing a dual strategy of "drive it until the wheels fall off" and "start looking for a new car in the meantime" and in that vein I sent a handful of mutuals a post about a potential alternative before i realized that i'm not sure that alternative is currently accepting new users. hmm.

anyway, i'm gonna mention most if not all my mutuals here on a reblog and if we're mutuals and you'd like to prepare for tunglr going down (eventually, someday, in an indeterminate but visible future), send me a message or an off-anon ask or whatever and I'll give you my discord handle and maybe if you're interested also some information about an alternative that i know you can join right now, although the join rate is throttled so it wouldn't be everyone all at once

yeah post now

#tag novel #anyway using a year-old post to quasi-surreptitiously talk abt plural stuff #i've had *kinda* a realization that a bunch of things i've experienced and ways i've interacted with the world and #internalized my experiences are well-described by a plural system kinda situation so--lacking the resources to pursue a formal dx #and being *somewhat* distrustful of the pathologizing approach the medical system has to this kind of neurodivergency #i'm left where all i can do is assert it as true and do my best to persist in that context #yeah!#so anyway i would say ''i'm plural now'' except with The Recontextualization it's been a thing going back #at least ten years in some form or another--the *slight* memory barrier [like--slightly foggy glass] that helps in recent memories #to identify what's a 'K' memory and what's a 'Quince' memory #starts to be harder to differentiate from the ''this happened a long time ago and i'm not sure i remember it clearly'' perception #twenty years ago is much harder to say #so there are things i recall from ten years ago which are definitely like:#''i didn't understand and had no words to describe this experience but looking back that was definitely a moment of Quince fronting''#but things from twenty years ago are much more ''🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️''#in general I [as in K--a shortening of my in-person name] can only vaguely recall things Quince does #but Quince has a much greater ability to remember stuff that K says or does #and it was a place of like--there were definitely times when in order to keep functioning in any capacity at all #K really had to check out hard but the circumstances were such that totally checking out was unacceptable #i had to stand watch; i had to drive home; whatever #and those are circumstances where Quince was able to keep things functioning acceptably #anyway yeah. got interrupted in the middle of that and don't have juice to write more when i got back so uhh yeah saving it now
