Heads up: While this is not really a NSFW blog at all, I do not really moderate the content on here so there may be some mature themes or nsfw stuff or personal posts.
introjects aren’t literally blorbo from your show and expecting them to act exactly the same as blorbo is weird
u cant just demand someone else fronts it’s rude and weird. also talking to a system isn’t really a choose your own adventure type of thing
no there isn’t an “evil alter”
persecutor alters do exist and are common but they arent evil alters and should be treated with the same respect youd treat anyone else
some systems have like 2 or 3 members and others have hundreds. its generally not ur business why a system has the amount of alters they do
u arent entitled to know whos fronting 24/7. a lot of systems dont even always know whos fronting let alone want to share
switching is often not obvious or dramatic at all. it can be but generally it’s not.though it does depend if someone has a more overt or covert presentation
did isnt actually that rare. around 1.5% of people are diagnosed with did and it goes undiagnosed a lot. and 1.5% is around the same amount of people who have red hair or ocd or green eyes
you have absolutely no way of knowing if someone is “faking” or lying about being a system. “what about-” nope not even if they do that. almost everything that people claim make it obvious someones lying (nonhuman alters, bigger systems, overt presentation etc) are just… ways that systems exist. ur not in their head, u dont get to decide what theyre experiencing
I didn’t want to disrupt the post about hostile architecture I saw because it’s true that the main target is homeless people but I did want to mention that this architecture also hurts people who aren’t skinny. I want to preface this all by saying I am in no way trying to minimize how this impacts people experiencing homelessness I am just trying to add on to the discussion of how these are bad.
You think that someone who can’t fit into those weird little yellow seats is going to feel comfortable? No. It will only make them feel bad or excluded.
Look at this shit. It’s not good or nice.
It only adds to the ways fat people are made feel unwelcome and though we already needed to tear this shit down because it makes life a million times worse for people experiencing homelessness and so this isn’t saying this is why you should tear it down. It is saying that our society is fatphobic and that sucks.
This isn’t a side effect, hostile architecture is designed to drive EVERYONE who’s “undesirable” from public spaces. Homeless people are the biggest targets but also disabled people, fat people, elderly people, etc. Other things, like anti-“loitering” measures and increased presence of police and security, drive out even more people, especially people of color and teenagers.
You aren’t disrupting or derailing discussions by talking about your experiences, we NEED to talk about the ways that different kinds of people are declared “unwanted” and pushed out of society.
Yeah, we no longer have “ugly laws” on paper, but in practice and architecture, we still absolutely do. If anything, we’ve gotten worse and more hostile towards “ugly” (unhoused, disabled, fat, etc) people in the past ten years- and this is exacerbated in the USA especially by the way communities are built to be car-dependent and segregated by class and race.
So, I just now opened up Tumblr, and yikes. Look, I’m not one of those “the UI changed, therefore it’s bad” kind of people, but I literally cannot understand any reason to changed what we had before. Tumblr does not need to be Twitter. The UI we had before was perfect.
The tumblr update has finally been forced upon me and is miserable to use on my ipad in safari now, which i insist upon using that so i can use the app for my other log-in augh
