@documense We have one alter who occasionally gets Completely Fed Up (he deleted Facebook in like six different ways since 2020)

@transguyenergy I haven't yet, partly for the same reason (can't decide whether to change the last name or not) and partly because It Costs A Lot Of Money

Like... I don't like my irl last name... but also i don't wanna insult my family, and my other choice would be too easily traceable 😭

I propose plurals in general do away with the "host, protector, persecutor" method of categorization and instead use DE skills.

The thing that gets me about the 腐女子 ‘’’’’discourse’’’’’ is that it’s just a bunch of Westerners (&overwhelmingly white westerners, though obviously not exclusively so): 🪡🧵

Urgently:

If you live in...

Floirda
Mississippi
Montana
South Dakota
Tennessee
West Virginia
Wyoming

Call your local rep/sen right now and tell them you oppose the gender affirming care bans.

These states are at highest risk of imminent passage.

Used to worry about blocking ppl who didn't "deserve" it.... vs me now, just blocked someone for having an emoji I don't like in their username

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

Go ahead and drag that person for being tr4nsph0b1c to your heart's content! but please stop insulting them for the side effects of taking testosterone, because they won't see it or won't care, and really you're just hurting wayyyy more trans people by doing that

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

Not to pay attention to disk horse or whatever but I think now is a good time to remind everyone that bodyshaming has splash damage

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

@eeveeauramgold Horrifying bc we've got Several fictives of minor characters who split when the body was a minor (some when we were younger than the character) who have grown up with the rest of our body and are now adults who make adult decisions and participate in our adult life as adults

In this house we don't spend money on reusable water bottles. we refill the same disposable plastic soda bottles with tap water until we can taste the microplastics as they leech into our bloodstreams

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

Two years ago id be afraid of blocking someone who was outright harassing me because I thought it would look weak or immature on my part

Today I just blocked someone because their screen name had an emoji I don't like

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

@Risu_System Tw: mention of csa-adjacent trauma

.

And it's not all necessarily nsfw either, just very much adult in nature and not something we want to encourage minors involved in. we were MIK and it was a major source of trauma for us so we just don't wanna worry about accidental exposure

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

Also honestly considering removing minors/minor-bodied systems from our following so we can more freely discuss the topics that we're interested in without needing to worry so much about if those topics are acceptable

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

@Risu_System He was talking about substance use that we don't feel comfy discussing in detail in front of anyone under 21, and non-educational personal interest in specific nsfw topics, which is important to my system's identity these days but very much not something we want <18s to see

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

@the_corvidae Like if someone really wanted to go to an event, we'd get them. If someone really didn't wanna go to work, we'd find someone. If someone was really feeling an outfit, they'd see themselves. Aside from that we didn't wanna think too much abt it; if we did we'd overthink badly

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

@the_corvidae I stopped calling my system median bc it doesn't apply as much anymore as it used to, but we mostly tried not to think about it. If something was important we'd find ways to get other people to remind us, and we tried not to think too hard about who fronted unless it mattered

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

Also probably gonna make more "finished project" styled videos for our youtube rather than trying to do more of those talk videos that are a pain to keep up with

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

Considering reworking how we use social media

Kinda wanna make this a private account and use it as an extension to our Instagram

Shift away from all the discourse we used to stand for and just have a space to dump my thoughts on our life

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

Maybe I'm not "the work alter" maybe I'm just more able to motivate myself to deal with my responsibilities than the others

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

We took a mental health day from work so I could front for the sole sake of resting for the first time since I split and tbh I think this is the most needed thing I could've possibly done today

[Iolite System @IoliteMedian]

My system kinda dreads making me front because I'm a "high-spoons" alter; maybe it's just because they only have me front when we need to get a ton of work done and they're exhausted when I leave because i don't have any rest days? They always want our days off 😅
