So we used to like Neil Gaiman's writing for the same reason it now scares the shit out of us. The way his writing describes memories slipping and returning for his characters is a fantastic representation of dissociative amnesia. He's alleged to be a predator. Now it makes sense in a bad way.

In a rly bad way, because psychological manipulators that know how to manipulate dissociative memory states - has the immense capacity to undermine a victim's attempts to report by creating unreal circumstances. And y'know, the whole rich pedos ruling the world problem.

Funny not funny. Get accused of using someone, and not being a real friend. Asked to reassure the friendship. I list personal qualities and connection activities. They only list appreciating me for DID info. Who's using who?

Finally reaching a point in therapy where I don't just KNOW the concepts, philosophies, practices, and 'what helps'. Reaching the point where we fucking embody that shit - That's a massive fucking shift. Cussing for emphatic happy mindblown reasons

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this beautiful page on HUGS, by the talented @miyuliart! Such a good example of how even in a seemingly static pose there are always TINY adjustments to GESTURE, INTERACTION and POSTURE which add SO much more EMOTION and STORY! #anime #manga

I really wish the process of repatterning attachment was easier and more immediate. Wdym I keep falling for rapists and abusers, while actively knowing I'm primed for that dynamic And wdym there's no single epiphany to fix it?

A lot of people want me to tell them when they are bothering me in the exact moment I am being bothered. A lot of people want unrealistic things. I don't even know when I'm being bothered in the exact moment that I'm bothered. 2 to 5 business days.

It has actually been studied that within the field of nursing bullying is a cultural phenomenon. And when somebody goes through schooling and training that involves being treated with ableism, and emotional abuse and psychological abuse.... what are going to be the outcomes for the patients?

Well I guess something to unpack in therapy, as if I haven't been trying to unpack it for years, is "why do I keep romantically falling for rapist? How do I stop?" Surely it can't have anything to do with being a survivor of incest CSA. Right? Riiiiight????

People being upset about twitch payouts being only once a month often made me laugh, and uncomfortable. Since about 2018 I too have been living off of once a month payments, the wonderful USA govt pays 1x/mo for foodstamps, disability, and SSI. Fight for federal benefits. ๐Ÿ˜…

Never use fucking Tumblr as your gateway into kink... FetLife exists for a reason, and at least those communities always have some things centered on appropriate settings, laws, consent, respect, communication skills. Jfc introducing the people to an extreme kink through Tumblr. Fking dumb

I made the QRP go from 69 to 70. I just needed to honor the 69 reposts

Busy week but a good one! Come meet me and @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social, the co-writer for The Long-Lived King, at Golden Apple in LA and get a book signed! #theowlhouse #thelonglivedking #TOH

I'll be forever angry that since the 90s we've known that depression is not a chemical imbalance of the brain issue, and that the medications don't balance the chemicals of the brain. But because that's how to make Neuroscience easier to understand, we're all lying to people.

I recently learned the only other transgender cousin I had Died by suicide earlier this year. She was 29. She didn't make it to 30. I almost didn't make it to 30. I wasn't there for her. We haven't talked in 5-6 years. I cut contact w/that side of the family in 2020-2021.

I'm sad, I'm angry, and I don't know how much more grief I can stuff into a 3 month period. I can't get groceries, go to the bank, or do laundry w/o having to regularly swallow down tears in public, or hurry to my car so that I can get it out before scaring strangers with unexpected grief wails.

tADC - Has a weird lil hope for AI, that with enough exposure to human experiences and connections, it can behave more benevolently. As if breaking out of tACD container to the wifi helped Caine become a safer, healthier, more supportive AI. I don't feel like that's the point of the show tho.

I think being a smaller system is a double-edged sword. 1) You have less to keep track of, less confusion btwn alters compared to a 100+ system 2) You get to pretend that there's an 'end' to your systemhood. Find all the people, get them in line. 3) Which can prevent genuine connection btwn alters

P.s. I have emergency contracts now - But I'll never forget how ppl responded when I had NO ONE after fleeing DV and my abusive mother. They didn't believe me and were annoyed moreso than empathetic or concerned. "I guess put down 911 as my emergency contact bc that's all I have"

Remember today that people calling you "oversensitive" has zero to do w/ reality-- it's 100% them trying to control you by evoking shame. 100%. People are as sensitive as they are. Slapping an arbitrary label on it is a control move, not a valid judgment. Remember.

Managing a hypervigilant nervous system adds a layer of stress & distraction to every task on CPTSD survivors' plate every day. Trying to stay grounded adds a layer of stress. Fending off sucidal & self harm urges adds a layer. And none of it feels easily explainable to anyone.

The fact that CPTSD survivors often feel drained or depressed after social situations-- no matter who we've been hanging out with-- doesn't necessarily mean we hate people or being social. Masking & managing our keyed up nervous system & inner critic just gets exhausting.

Something a lot of ppl don't understand about poverty is that you can't just dump supplies on people without asking first. There can be costs associated with keeping food fresh, storing hygiene products, utilizing an appliance, making space for clothes, cleaning & maintenance of a water filter..

Learning better, practicing better, doing better - Doesn't mean you have to hate the old you. It doesn't mean you need retroactive punishment for having 'done worse'. You survived in the context you had then, and you're in a new context now. Things shift, you can give yourself a lil slack.

You're not "stupid" for having struggled to be on your own side in the past-- you were conditioned to imitate your bullies & abusers. Not only that, you were programmed to believe maybe they'd like you if you were enough like them. You were skillfully conned. Not your fault.

"I don't meet DSM criteria for-" I'm not talking about the fucking genocide guidebook - I'm talking about your BEHAVIOR that clearly shows you're TRAUMATIZED and how that's NEGATIVELY affecting your communication and interaction with me. My bad, let me speak without my own trauma:

I don't like the feeling of being corrected and argued with and it seems like you're intent on misunderstanding me. I don't want to talk anymore if you're going to keep assuming what I mean instead of just ASKING me. I'm getting really aggravated by this. I'm leaving if you don't stop. Better?

When it comes to migraines, forget the headache. It's a neurological disorder, and can mimic stroke and seizure activity. I LOVE having the headache pain managed but still being disabled bc my words sound drunk af. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž MRI in one month, gimme ANSWERS

When suicide prevention campaigns do a video advertisement showing loved ones begging and screaming at a locked door, I got to tell you that's not preventing me from my suicidal ideation. That's very triggering and activating, actually.

Maybe instead of modeling the tragedy and drama, we could model how to respond to suicidal people? Maybe we should model emotional intelligence? Compassion? Responsiveness? Active listening? Emotional support? Healthy boundaries? Naaah, let's just trigger all the suicidal people ๐Ÿ™ƒ that'll help.

It took more than a decade, but finally the neurologist agrees that maybe we should get MRI of my fucking brain. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! Not like the clinical paperwork says that there should be a differential assessment for epilepsy before diagnosing the DID but here we are. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Today we're doing pretty good. We definitely use this blue sky account as a means of venting, and expressing things we don't feel like we can express in other places. I'm impressed by those of you who have stuck around. Are any of you waiting for an update on a previous project?

Some people will wish you well on your healing, instead of just saying they don't want to have this conversation anymore. That's condescending, and rude. It is no different than "bless your heart" meaning go fuck off and die. Say what you mean, mean what you say.

I should not be so accustomed to being assaulted. I should not feel like one abuser is better than another abuser, because at least this abuser doesn't yell and throw things. Alas this is the reality of childhood abuse and how trauma continues into adulthood.

It's so fucked up that I'm so accustomed to sexual assault that when it comes to be SA'd by my recent ex - I shrug it off. I'm more angry at how she gets away with it and how many people she's trauma bonded with, than I am angry at being assaulted again.

If you're running a community and you have friends in the community who are racist, rape apologists, transphobic, queerphobic, start arguments just for the fuck of it, and are cruel to other members... And you can't give your friend consequences and kick them, probably stop running a community. ๐Ÿ‘

Don't make a zero tolerance rule in your community if you're not willing to enforce it as if you have zero tolerance. I have left so many communities that propose to be safe, have zero tolerance for racism, transphobia, and rape apologists - that the admin team wanted to do nothing about.

I'm really sad that it doesn't seem like enough people understand that when roe v Wade got overturned, we lost privacy of medical Care when it comes to the government. We don't have privacy anymore when it comes to our medical care. It's going to become more apparent real soon. -Charlie & Plio

2/2 I would often use LofiGirlโ€™s music playlists for my art streams in particular. Does anyone know if you still can? I know they had some copyright issues, and I canโ€™t find any info on their website, unless Iโ€™m blind. If I have to switch, thatโ€™s fine. Just wondering if anyone was in the know.
