✨ 1. Calling yourselves slurs is pretty cool actually it's called reclamation 2. As a crazy nonbinary transsexual, my opinion about my own identity is still worth listening to?

✨ made a document that's like "people on the internet have made you doubt your plurality again, here's why your clinicians and you agree that it's the case" to try to spiral a little bit less about the whole thing

✨ so the hospital we were born in is on the list of at-risk rural hospitals… the nearest hospital would be a nearly 2 hour drive away… that’s… yeah. bad.

✨ we can tell we're getting older because every year we get a teeny bit more "why do they have to redesign everything all the time" where we used to enjoy the change yes we did install the new Apple betas on all our devices day one, why do you ask (iPadOS 26 is very good though)

🖤 some of our struggling to accept having DID, or like embracing it as a good or neutral part of who we are is because it’s a result of us enduring just horrendous things a child never should. Our brain literally broke itself because we were abused, and now we’re supposed to be thankful for it??

my first solo academic article has been published (it’s open access)! eek! thanks @yesthattoo.bsky.social and @tuttleturtle.bsky.social for co-creating the definition of expensive speech - now it’s officially in the formal literature! :) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

✨ reading journal entries from just a few months ago and it's shocking both how accurate our initial instincts of our system composition were, and how much we've grown and changed and learned to communicate and cooperate in that time also the tone of "what if we're plural??" is hilarious

✨ Just had an original Hue bulb fail that we bought in like, 2014-2015? Impressive lifespan, given how much we leave our lights on.

Having a child with a dissociative disorder is such a major L because like imagine being such a shitty parent that your kid’s brain has to come up with multiple people instead of the normal just one so they can all parent each other because you’re so unbelievably bad at it lmao 😭 -🍎

Kids can’t name abuse in homes where it’s the norm. Stop this bullshit about “why didn’t you tell someone” when all they’ve ever known is they don’t have the right to ask for help and if they do they’ll pay a further price.

✨ sometimes we'd like to sit down with the first psychiatrist we ever met with back when we lived in San Francisco and scream "LOOK AT THIS LIST OF DIAGNOSES!!! LOOK!!" he said we did not have ADHD and had "no signs of depression" and uh... that's the really boring part of what's going on up here

we have never once managed to get Personal Voice to actually transfer across Apple devices and have to set it up each time and the fact it's not consistent is troublesome to our brain

watching old episodes of kitchen nightmares, as we do, and there's a classic motorola surfboard cable modem in the background of this office and we have *such* fond memories of that modem, the first time we had broadband at home!

on monday someone we were pretty close to and hadn't spoken to in a few days while we were processing some shit was like "please talk to me about what's going on" so I was vulnerable about having DID and he hasn't responded since. like you fucking asked, man.
