A Follow Up Of This Guy

I do think it's kinda weird that the common response to "polyamorous people are oppressed" is laughter and ridicule. As if the societal status quo doesn't enforce monogamy, as if straying from monogamy isn't punished or treated badly, as if hatred of polyamory isn't always acted out with homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia and racism. I think it's funny that someone will be like "the nuclear family is bad" can see that society forces the concepts of straight/cis good but gay/trans bad, but can't for a second believe monogamy is part of all that. It's just very silly.

Glen Martin Taylor, “but i am safe in here.”

the concern that people will worsen their dissociative symptoms/identity disturbance by misinterpreting their experiences as plurality has never made sense to me because, like. most people who report benefiting from therapies like IFS/parts work also report that unblending (purposefully detaching) from parts of their psyche allows them to engage with those parts more fully and analyze their wants and needs. i guess 'detachment' is a scary concept for people because it can imply rejection or disavowal? and i agree, that absolutely hurts people! but if you're actively not rejecting or disavowing whatever you perceive as, like, an independent agent that shares your brain, i don't think it's inherently going to harm you to detach yourself conceptually from that agent, even if you end up being wrong about what it is.

Simple things you can do right now to support Gaza if you can't strike by staying home from work/school

queue posts about Palestine to regularly post throughout the week to keep them visible. Check tags like: #strike for gaza, #free gaza, #ceasefire now. I'm going to share posts from Bisan and other Palestinians on instagram.

don't spend money on nonessentials. if you didn't have time to prepare for the strike and still need to get groceries/medicine/etc, get it now to prepare for not spending the rest of the week! striking for even part of the week is better than not participating at all.

read bit.ly/StopGazaGenocide, this is a document put together by the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) with lots of good information and graphics and link to art you can freely use to spread awareness. There is also a link to email your representatives to urge them to stop supporting the occupation and the email is pre-generated! it took me one minute to send emails!

email your representatives that you are striking for Palestine!

keep talking about Palestine. keep reading about Palestine. keep caring about Palestine. If you make even one person pay attention, you've done good work! keep going!

Do what you can! Doing ANYTHING is better than doing nothing.
