@funlovingfuzzball
Nice to meet y’all!
Hey there. If you need to call me something, you can call me Fuzzball. I’m shy, so you might not see me reblog much as I’m getting started. I cross my heart, I’m not one of the pornbots. I’m just still figuring out what I’m comfortable with here. If I get more comfortable posting, you’re likely to find a lot about my guinea pigs on here. Also sometimes just my ramblings, if I’m being perfectly honest. Hope to see you around!

Yet another of our "I think it's important to remember this" posts.
Whether trauma causes a CDD or not isn't actually about its severity. It's about the nature of the effects.
We Crew, particularly us Willows, have been through what we would consider, for ourselves, severe trauma, compounded by severe neglect and lack of any significant kind of support. But it didn't cause our plurality, other things did - other things that we are keenly, fully aware of.
And yet people with other kinds of trauma that feels, to us, less horrific, nevertheless is enough to have caused them to have a CDD.
Remember, there isn't really an objective scale of trauma, because trauma is not the event. It's the reaction to it.
Our reaction, plurality wise, to our trauma was to draw closer together, to unite against our common enemy. It didn't push us apart.
Other people's reaction to their trauma pushed them into separate pieces, or separate selves.
I think we do a disservice to many pwCDDs by saying that CDDs are a result of severe trauma - it encourages trauma Olympics, it encourages dismissal of trauma because other people "had it worse", so why are you so strongly affected by this more "minor" thing? When honestly it doesn't matter how culturally, socially, or personally seen as severe it is. All that matters is how it affected you. And not even in the sense that it matters how "strongly" it affected you, but in what particular way.
If your trauma caused primary structural dissociation, that's PTSD. If your trauma caused secondary structural dissociation, that's CPTSD. If it caused tertiary structural dissociation, that's a CDD.
THAT'S what we should be talking about, not severity of trauma.

i thought this was a hospital drama why does he have a shotgun?!??!?
I’m so glad I turned on the Audio bc it turns out this is set to Boney M’s Rasputin and is basically perfectly synced
I’m glad to see the ancient art of vidding is alive and well.

Great news! I found the whole text.
This is not only me, but like half my friend group.
Oh no, down to the isopods 😂😂😂
They’re cute tho
We may not own any isopods, but every friend group needs someone who is absolutely thrilled to learn unsolicited facts about terrestrial isopods. I’m doing my part!
AI plural tracking apps
To the people trying to find a quick replacement for SimplyPlural and Octocon, the price to pay for a quick replacement is going to be people using the generative AI app builders out there to accomplish this time-line rush.
I am not supporting the idea that this is appropriate, but, it is going to be a common theme right now. There is also the risk that some may not be open about using AI.
So, some things to keep in mind to mitigate potential damage if data is leaked through cracks.
Do not
Have your, or anyone you know, full legal name listed
Put medication names. If you do need to track meds, think of clever nicknames or what they are for. It is still not perfect, but it is WAY better than listing your actual medication and dosage ammount.
Think Twice Before Journaling about
Suicide
Death threats
Political opinions and alignments. Right now in the US I genuinely do not think this is a good idea.
Vivid details about traumatic events. You can provide that information for your system in a much more secure place.
If they allow account sharing
Wait to mass add people. There may be access bugs the app needs to work through. Keep to testing it with ONE close person until the app proves it can handle account sharing without issues.
In the end, you are the one who will decide what risks are worth taking. You will be the one who decides if your needs are worth using these kinds of AI generated applications.
I am not here to shame you!
I only want to make sure you are being safe. Be prudent as you move data over. Decide if something leaks, what information would be an annoyance to have out there and what would be detrimental to your safety.
And this is the case with ALL online applications. Same care should have been taken for SimplyPlural and Octocon. But, the difference here is the risk of AI being the only thing keeping your data safe or not. Do you think its generative code is safe from hackers?
Anyway. Be safe.
Just had to say this about Plural Star to a friend who was shocked. Good reminder to all
do you reblog fic you haven't yet read
yes
no
i don't read fic
kind of fascinated by this actually. i assume people who don’t reblog are using reblogs primarily as recs so they want to vet the fics first but that’s only a guess because only the rebloggers are leaving tags.
I’m bad at interacting, and not super duper human, but have some pics of our newest plushie! Her name is Bitsy and she is very large and she gives the very best hugs.

She’s from Squishable too! Their new Mega Black Widow! Our only mega thus far - we love her so much! Squishable is very very wonderful
news about pcos today
Decades-long campaign powered by patient perspectives results in switch from PCOS – a name that caused confusion and undue suffering – to PM
a health policy paper has been published saying the name is officially updated to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS)
polyendocrine= multiple endocrine factors
metabolic = affecting/affected by metabolism
ovarian = from the ovaries
essentially, instead of using the symptomatic term (many people with PMOS do not develop cysts) the new term widens the diagnostic area and makes it easier to diagnose, treat, and do research on people with PMOS (even atypical types, such as no cysts).
it may seem like a waste of time to change a name instead of focusing on research, but for a lot of medical professionals a name can be associated with a hard set collection of symptoms, so the name needs to change to acknowledge that the disorder is not well understood and has a broader, subtler, and often missed set of symptoms. for example ADD is considered an antiquated/unused term, and now comes under the ADHD umbrella. in healthcare names and terminology changes all the time, and this is a positive change. your local healthcare professional may not know about this unless theyre really up on the news though!
in case you want to read about the name change process that was published in the Lancet (one of the most impactful and well respected medical journals):
Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), previously named polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), affects one in eight women. However, the
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
At time of posting, this is at 711.6k notes

Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification
UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023
Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents
Apple App Store Age Verification
These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.
Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.
If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.
Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.
If you’re having a breakdown EAT! SOME! FOOD!
Reblogged once without commentary, reblogging a second time to say “we’ve done this so many times”. Like actually it’s absurd. But once the pattern is known, it’s nice to be able to go “let’s not act on any such emotions until food has happened”. Sometimes the food won’t do anything, but it’s worth acting as if it will just in case.
If you’re having a breakdown EAT! SOME! FOOD!
