unfriendly reminder.
No, splits are not *only* caused by severe/extreme trauma. After the disorder is formed your brain will split as it feels is needed. Someone's for stress, sometimes to lessen the load of another trauma holder ect. If you are hyperfixating or watching a show and have strong feelings about a character it's possible that new split or fragment will attach to that characters identity. Stop Fakeclaiming and bring assholes to people who split easily, often, or are fictive heavy. You are only causing harm. Stop fucking Fakeclaiming in general. YOU ARE ONLY CAUSING HARM.

Words are tools. Use whatever feels comfortable to describe the nature of your existence. Linguistics serve the impossible task of describing small parts of a wide and beautiful world. Just enjoy yourselves, and don't get too caught up in the minutiae.
this is beautiful . thank you so much <3
baller statement, my child also WHO'S TRYING 2 CONVINCE U ?????? HELLO ?!?!?!?
I wish more people were as accepting of systems as you are
I was genuinely worried I would ruin our relationship with you because I dont personally know you
But then you sent your asks and made it very clear you saw me as separate from our other alters
And it's just so nice to see
Not enough people do that
< and its more than likely our irl friends wont accept it unfortunately.. as long as it dont have to introduce myself its fine >
-◇☆◇
I try my best!! Especially since like 80% of my friends have found out they’re systems (one of them is dead convinced that they have to convince me I am one too??)
I make it my duty to make people feel accepted, and that includes systems<33
This is based on a conversation I had with some people in a server...
DOWN WITH THE SYSCOURSE / DWTS )
Down with the syscourse (can be abbreviated to DWTS or referred to simply as syscopunk) is an "endo stance" in which one rejects the concept of syscourse and wishes to be separated from endo stances altogether.
Down with the syscourse is inherently . . .
· Anti syscourse
· Neither pro nor anti endo in nature
· NOT endo neutral unless the user WISHES to refer to themself as such
· Respectful of others' identities && methods of self expression
· Against demonization of pro endos, anti endos, and endos themselves
· Against gatekeeping terms
· Against strict syscourse-involved DNIs

I'd rather not connect this to other discourse areas so i will not but keep in mind that I, the creator of this term, am pro good faith, anti harmful transids, and anti radqueer. that being said, I do not care who uses this as long as it applies to you and you are respectful towards myself and others it applies to.
you shouldn't have to apologize for the things that make you feel safe and comfortable

Whelp gotta edit this again bc of how many hate I'm getting with my "your" and not "you're" (dw I've deleted most of them) :(
hey quick test, reblog or like this if you DONT think neopronouns are stupid im trying to prove a point to my sister and her partner
for context my sister is a binary trans lesbian dating a genderfluid lesbian and today she came up to me saying that her and her partner as two trans people have both decided neopronouns are stupid
now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.
this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.
If you grew up constantly apologizing and then apologizing for apologizing and you were/are afraid (or unable) to express your emotions and feelings because it was seen as “manipulative”, or for any reason, I love you and I hope you’re having a good day
came across an acct made within the past 2 days based solely on hating on the osc the creator is a former member of the osc, but says bc of the trauma he experienced by being cyberbullied by members of the community, he left i'm not going to tag him, because that's going to give him a lot more clout than he deserves but i jsut wanna say: i understand trauma, and it's definitely a big thing if it means you can't enjoy something anymore, then it's sad, but it is what it is but hurting other people isn't going to heal you do you rlly think that hating on the osc and all of its members is going to bring some kind of better being about ? it's not going to fix anything object shows, ESPECIALLY ii, have tended to be a safe haven and comfort space for many people, esp those in the queer and neurodivergent communities hating someone you don't even know for having a special interest or hyperfixation on something that people who who hurt you also had an interest in is just continuing the cycle of abuse let people have their enjoyments and be nice everyone just be nice
i forget if i already reblogged this, but oh well
some actually practical pieces of information that hopefully may quell some worries about Trump's second term:
This article explains the impracticality and illegality of Project 2025, and why most of it is very likely to be legally struck down.
This article explains how, even with a narrow Republican majority in the House, Trump will only be able to pass very bland partisan laws or bipartisan laws.
The ACLU has already prepared a gameplan for combatting the effects of Project 2025.
The state of New York has contingency plans to fight against Project 2025.
like obviously it's still gonna be a rough 4 years, and i'm not dismissing any legitimate worries. i'm just hoping this might ease some anxieties just a little.
if anyone else has some similar pieces of practical information that can dispel some of the panic, please feel free to share them!
stay vigilant and keep fighting, but try not to despair. try to keep a calm and level head as we head into the new year.
If you haven’t started already, start archiving/downloading everything. Save it to an external hard drive if you’re able. Collecting physical media is also a good idea, if you’re able.
Download your own/your favorite fanfics. Save as much as you can from online sources/digital libraries. Recipes, tutorials, history, LGBTQ media, etc. It has been claimed, though I can’t find the exact source if true, that some materials about the Revolutionary War were deleted from the Library of Congress.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry and save and preserve what you can. Remember that cloud storage also is not always reliable!
Library of Congress - millions of books, films and video, audio recordings, photographs, newspapers, maps, manuscripts.
Internet Archive - millions of free texts, movies, software, music, websites, and more. Has been taken offline multiple times because of cyber attacks last month, it has recently started archiving again.
Anna's Archive - 'largest truly open library in human history.’
Queer Liberation Library - queer literature and resources. Does require applying for a library membership to browse and borrow from their collection.
List of art resources - list of art resources complied on tumblr back in 2019. Not sure if all links are still operational now, but the few I clicked on seemed to work.
Alexis Amber - TikToker who is an archivist who's whole page is about archiving. She has a database extensively recording the events of Hurricane Katrina.
I'll be adding more to this list, if anyone else wants to add anything feel free!
Before January 2025:
If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!
Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.
Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.

Yearly reminder to everyone trying to find alternatives to tumblr/social media in general: go make a Neocities account and teach yourself basic HTML and post your art/writing/shitposts there.
It does take extra time to set up (but there are templates out there!) but it is so so worth it to have a site that is 100% YOURS!
You don’t even have to be that good at coding. I’m not. My site is not very accessible via mobile devices but that is fine with me (keeps me off my phone) but there are plenty of ways to make your site mobile friendly. There are plenty of bare bones/accessible sites I adore purely for the media on it.
Imagine having your site on your phone and showing someone- hey! I coded this from scratch. And I didn’t even have to pay a company like squarespace. All your images, links, writings, in one place. I have my fandom edits, memes, fanart, and custom graphics there.
Neocities has a very bare bones follower and comment system, but you can disable this if you want your site to truly abstain from any social media-isms. I use it because its a great way to meet other webmasters and get help with coding problems. Neocities isn't an exact replacement for Tumblr (no reblogging here) but html coding is an invaluable skill to know, as is keeping a personal website in this day in age.
The awesome thing about having your own website is if, god forbid, Neocities goes down, you can move your site to any other number of hosting platforms (like Teacake.org). Your site is truly YOURS, and no one else (shitty tech CEO cough cough) can take it away from you.
If you need help getting started, I recommend checking out sadgrl.online. (More links to resources in the comments section of this post).
I know neocities has been talked about before, especially within my follower circle, but I thought I'd bring it up again for anyone unaware of this awesome platform.
Reblog if you're black tumblr.
You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.
