Idea for wholesome (IT) projectS for people with memory conditions (that is, everyone, since everyone is forgetful sometimes) | by Sansa Zet | Jun, 2024 | Medium
Let’s install air conditioners in places mentioned or not by John Oliver from Last Week Tonight
Sansa: It’s a beautiful day outside. Summer is here, tadpoles are dancing, even in North London (as Oliver Burkeman quotes someone else in one of his books about spring), so let’s enjoy it by installing air conditioners, then we can “tadpole around” more (thanks K. for coining that expression). Reference Spoiler hint: Double-check who said what first sentence.
We decided to use colours as fronting signalling, as well as keeping tabs on tasks
How would you rename OSDD-1a and OSDD-1b so that they're not just relegated to the "Other Specified" category but got proper specific names?
Hank Green: "What is more me, the me in their heads or the me in mine?" Hank Green factives be like:
(both quotes taken out of context from the video "Who Am I?! - Some thoughts on Personal Identity")
sometimes we have moments when we get so lost "in the zone" of focusedly doing something at work that we forget we're plural... (...until we get upset by something and then a protector tells our fronter to please calm down) otherwise, there aren't actually all that many moments when we're not hyperaware at all times of being plural
[TW mention of fusion] It's wild when we've really missed a personality trait that's gone missing from any of our known alters for years, only to finally return as part of a clearly new alter - we assume the previous alter went dormant and ended up fusing into this new alter immediately after awakening.
we have barely known we're plural for over a year but we already couldn't imagine living in any other way than directly supported by our alters' advice and switching in to directly help. we're more stable than ever before in our life. how could we live for decades with the illusion of being a singlet?! it robbed us of so much cooperation and making up for each others' shortcomings. we have so many less behavioural issues now that we know it's not 'us' us but other specific alters we need to find compromises with
us: we're not really amnesiac also us upon finding chatlogs from several years before discovering our plurality whereby a past host was talking with other plural folks about whether we might have DID: wait, what, we don't remember these conversations??...
we feel like functional multiplicity in itself offers much better stress resistance than if we were a singlet person
one of our fragments: i don't think we're plural
another one of our fragments: dude then why are you using the plural form rofl
If we want one of our more substantial alters to front, we need to actively switch to them. With hundreds of fragments around, chances are, we have one of the many fragments fronting most of the time.
anyway, never listen to what antis have to say about "DID isn't quirky and fun!!!" because DID/OSDD or not, traumagenic or not, you are allowed to love your system. you are allowed to have a good relationship with your headmates and to enjoy being plural and to embrace yourself as a system. suffering is not a requirement of plurality, and being miserable is not required to be a more valid system.
our take on it is, we might as well make the best of what we got, right? we might as well try our best to enjoy the happy moments with our intra-sys friends and family members among all the other stuff that comes with our condition
plural culture is microphone tests without a microphone (to check who's fronting based on voice, which often still is insufficient indication)
ah, silly plural arguments
alter1 (A1): wait, did I think of that? alter2 (A2): I could've also thought of that A1: but I think I was the one A2: we could've well been blurry. let's just say we both thought of it together A1: I want to take credit alone for it though
[TW fusion]
Some of our alters have got more stable via fusing.
Some of our alters have got more stable via splitting.
All we know is, we will never go for final fusion (if we even could). Sometimes fusions are helpful, sometimes they are only more destabilizing. Sometimes it's actually splitting that makes the resulting alters more stable than their prior state.
We don't know whether most of our fragments have a more stereotypically-gendered-as-masc voice because they identify more as masc-spectrum or because our vocal range as a body that went through a testosterone-based puberty is wider on that side.
Sure, many of them are just so fragmented though that they think they don't even have/need a gender.
