So crazy that people will act like they're so supportive of queer people then hear anything new and then regress back into a cishetalloaro mindset. "Ermmm a platonic polycule? Don't you mean FRIENDSHIP. Wow you guys are SO CHRONICALLY ONLINE!!!" Like wowie great supportive energy you got there Becky. Who gives a fuck. Get funker.
Like ACTUALLY who cares!!! I've never had. Ever. Like I don't even understand how a platonic polycule would look but STILL. I don't call it a friendship! Let labels be. If someone says their relationship is a platonic polycule or anything else. Why would **I** say "oh no it's not"??? Who am I to say that?? I don't know that!?! It's YOUR relationship. And also labels are made up, make up more. It doesn't matter, everything is made up words. There's no physical proof of it so go buck wild.
Hey friendly reminder that if a plural system says to not use parts language with them... you DON'T FUCKING USE IT. I'm going to start BITING people who call us "parts" DESPITE how much I say it feels EXTREMELY devaluing and depersonalizing. It feels like we're being reduced to "parts of a single person" which we HATE when the majority of us are not that!! We'd prefer it meaning to use "parts of a whole collective identity" but that is not the way people are using it, therefore we form a negative connotation to it.
It should 100% be illegal for companies to make you give them your payment information when you sign up for a free trial version of their product. It is not necessary and there is no good fucking reason for them to do it. It’s blatantly just so they can steal forgetful customers’ money.
oh hey, thanks for reminding me to cancel a free trial i had going on.
Reblog to save an unnecessary charge cause it also reminded me to cancel a trial lol
There's been a couple of times now where we're just scrolling our dashboard on some social media, and we see.. somebody we don't even know posting something about our endogenic system research list document.
It feels so, strange. Like, the fuck you mean what we're doing is genuinely making a big difference for some people? Huh?? ????
We're just a system with DID tryna collect resources for people. It seems almost surreal sometimes :P
..also we keep getting reminded that we once again forgot to change the font colour on new links, lmao

Cant have fucking shit in Detroit
Cant have shit
Okay so door saga
The only way into my building is through the front door which locks itself when closed. There's a back entrance but it's deadbolted from the inside. This means the only people who can get into the building are me, my cat sitter with the spare keys, and the people living in the other two units.
The door to MY unit now... has no doorknob. Impossible to get in.
There is a shared BACK hallway that leads to the shared basement/back entrance. My back door into this hall is always deadbolted. EXCEPT, fortuitously, right now, since neighbor (Molly) in unit 2 had heard Patches meowing when alone and offered to spend some time with her, so I had the cat sitter unlock the bolt.
This, LUCKILY, means there is A Way into my unit. But it requires getting into the building, then going THROUGH my neighbors' unit into the back hall, then up to my unit.
Cat sitter is effectively locked out from Patches, and won't be able to get in if not fixed by the next day.
Text neighbor about predicament. They're willing to look at my door bUT (it's Christmas) they're not home and not getting home until the next day.
Next day, text for an update but hear nothing. (Neighbors aren't attached to their phones much). Communicate with catsitter saying "okay if I don't hear back from neighbors, maybe you go over and I contact a locksmith who you can let in?" (since cat sitter has the keys to the building)
Catsitter is very not keen on the idea
Patches is unaware she's a prisoner.
Hear back from neighbors. Say they should be home around 5pm.
Okay... Good Enough... (Patches graze-feeds so Luckily she hasn't missed any meals but we're going on 24 hours of house arrest Patches).
6pm comes. 7pm comes. 7:40pm I text asking for an update. Nothing.
8:30pm I'm figuring out what friends I can call to break into my own house. Text neighbor again and notice this text doesn't go through.
Text neighbor's partner being like "hey sorry, can't seem to reach Molly--". Get a text back "Sorry this is Molly on David's phone! My phone died." Family Christmas plans ran late but they're on their way back and will be home soon. Thank goodness.
9pm-ish, they get back, give Patches attention and top up her food. I get a text "David fixed your door!" Woo!
Friday 5pm I finally get home
Lugging my suitcase up three flights of stairs while I hear Patches meowing like a dying Victorian child
Shoes off coat off suitcase down fish out keys unlock door grab doorknob
...Doorknob falls off
Falls off right into my hands
Staring at doorknob. Staring at door. Patches meowing. Shove doorknob against door like an idiot and no it does not go back on.
Fucking
Go down flight of stairs, knock on Molly and David's door. David is luckily home. "My doorknob fell off again can I go home"
David lets me in. I scoot past their dogs and apparently I startled the more nervous one since she apparently tried to nip at me but I didn't even notice because I'm like my cat.
Get in through the back hall.
Patches comes bounding over.
My cat.
Doesn't even know she was a prisoner.
Doesn't even know what a doorknob is.
Later that night receive a text from neighbor apologizing for the dog and I'm like "I Did Not Even Notice."
Any attempt to leave my house now is perilous until I fix the doorknob.
Can't even leave my door cracked open because I know Patches is gonna shove her stupid little face through it and become the opposite of a prisoner.
I wanna go buy a reeces peanut butter cup but by god it's not worth the risk
I'm gonna try to fix the doorknob
Or... buy? a new doorknob?
On Amazon searching "doorknob".
Merry Christmas
You are completely right because I have now investigated the knob and can confirm the screw holding the knob to bar was loose. I have tightened the screw and it SEEMS fixed but I’m very Fool Me Once on this since my neighbor also thought they’d fixed it.
There is a Home Depot trip in my future. Or maybe an online purchase if Patches would get off my laptop
Merry Christmas I hope I know how to install a doorknob
Complication. Doorknob is here and I tried to install it, but because my door is older than God, the latch-majig (technical term) is offset like an inch higher than the knob. Modern doorknob has the latch LEVEL with the knob.
To swap in the new knob I'd need to cut a new knob-hole an inch higher in the door which
With what tools
That would leave an unused gaping doorknob-sized hole in my door which any robber the size of a weasel or smaller will use to rob my home. I don't need fucking Redwall in my home.
Probably bad for the integrity of the door
I don't wanna.
I think what I really want is just the knob like above tags said. Like the knob and the rectangular bar, which I can substitute in for my stripped-bare knob and rectangle bar. I WOULD do this with the new knob, but it's got two welded-on spokes poking out from the knob.
I can maybe drill two holes for the spokes in my door...?
(Squinting at shitty amazon listings trying to see if any knobs don't have the two spokes)
(I think the two spokes might be standard.)
Developing new respect for Jesus (carpenter).
In the meantime, because I'd already unscrewed a lot of things I DID take the genius action of flipping my current doorknob around.
This way the side that causes problems is on the INSIDE.
Doorknob fall of while INSIDE house significantly better than doorknob fall off while OUTSIDE.
I'm retightening all the screws.
Patches has offered no solutions.
So it does!
Never heard the term "spindle doorknob" before so I never would have found this on my own.
They're also all labeled "vintage" which extra feels right since my door predates the Cambrian Explosion.
Crowdsourcing my door fix on Tumblr dot com! Doorknob 2.0 is ordered.
At least 4,000 but we still got time
New doorknob should get here tomorrow, but in the meantime things in the notes of this post:
Several dozen stories of other people getting locked in/out of bathrooms/basements/classrooms/bedrooms/buildings. Extra shout out to the person whose classmate managed to do this twice, in rapid4reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesdweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Patches is on my keyboard
whose classmate managed to do this twice, in rapid succession, to both sides of a classroom door after being saved the first time.
Several people taking this as a sign to go tighten their doorknob screws, including someone whose knob fell off in their hands while doing this
10 or so people reading the "can't have shit in Detroit" meme to mean I live in Detroit. Sorry to confess I'm a fake Detroitite. Doxxing myself by 0.00001% more by informing the world I live in not-Detroit.
Many many people wondering why I'm not pestering my landlord about this. Truth is my landlord is way too sexy, cool, fashionable, smart, pretty, funny, and popular on Tumblr to it's me. It's me. I'm me I'm my landlord. It's my condo. Including, with immense regret, every single doorknob inside.
3 separate professional locksmiths who have reached out offering advice, which is very cool. I have burst into a virtual hardware store clutching my shit doorknob and fainted, only to be caught by three very strong and cool locksmiths rushing to my aid.
Person with a story of dogsitting a friend's Tibetan Mastiff who managed to knock the entire backdoor down. Taking inspiration from this to train Patches in battering-ram techniques, should she ever get locked inside again.
DOORKNOB
ALSO MY PAPER TOWELS
(Ran out of paper towels)
Old knob coming off.
Wretched thing. Accursed knob of woe.
Get undid
New knob reign by forceful coup. Went to great pains to PRECISELY wait Patches is escaping
Patches retrieved
Anyway GREAT care was taken to ensure both knobs are ALIGNED, EVEN, SCREWED ON, with the wait hang on
Patches retrieved again.
Anyway
DOORKNOB SCREWED ON
KNOB
Still gonna keep the emergency screwdriver in the hall for probably the next month.
In conclusion look at my cat
certified door post
Why do people think it's okay to be "neutral" on non traumagenic + nondisordered systems
No one is going to say "I'm neutral on autism, I don't believe autism is real but I won't harass anyone who says they have it!" And then get praised for it
If you're endo neutral fuck you. These are real experiences people have. You can't just "be neutral" on something people get harassed for being every day. Fuck you
You're either pro or you're anti, that's it. You can't be neutral on depression. You can't be neutral on schizophrenia. You can't be neutral on DID. You can't be neutral on dissociation. You can't be neutral on amnesia. So why the fuck are endogenic/nondisordered systems the exception? You can't be "neutral" on depression because you either believe people can be depressed or you think they're "just lazy". You can't be "neutral" on amnesia because you either believe people can forget things or you think they're just lying
You're not "neutral". You either don't believe endogenic/nondisordered systems exist or you believe they exist.
And I swear to fuck if someone says "uhmm tag syscourse!!! Wah wah!!" Someones identity and experiences are not syscourse. Calling out shitty people is not syscourse. So shut the fuck up
if no trauma why guys in head? /genq ( not making fun of you or anyone else )
There is so many reasons for hearing voices in your head that doesn’t mean you’re a system
People have internal voices that can be not their own voice but is still their own thoughts
People can be on the schizospec and hear voices that aren’t theirs
People CAN be systems and not remember their trauma or can’t come to terms with it so they use the term Endogenic
CDDS aren’t just “haha silly little guys in my head” its a disorder caused by trauma, it comes with so much than just the alter part
Traumagenic DID system here o/
There's many reasons for hearing voices, including psychotic spectrum disorders, cultural and spiritual practices, possession experiences, non-structural dissociation, structural dissociation, the multiple selves personality theory, a standard and normal human experience, and yes, endogenic and non-traumagenic systems.
A "system" isn't the same thing as having a CDD, per numerous other areas, and The Haunted Self, the theory of structural dissociation. You can view some of it here, It has a multitude of definitions, and is used in a wide variety of contexts.
An endogenic system is a system that formed from something other than trauma, not a system that doesn't remember or can't come to terms with their trauma. They can still have trauma, many do and have a dissociative disorder because of it, it's just that their system wasn't directly formed from trauma.
Multiplicity, systemhood, and plurality have existed in non-pathalogical populations for a very long time. It just goes by different names.
CDDs such as DID are so, so much more than just alters and being a system, yes. Just like they're so, so much more than just dissociating. They are complex dissociative disorders, which are caused by structural dissociation, which is caused by trauma. They include numerous trauma symptoms, typically an extensive trauma history, severe depression and anxiety and sleep disturbances and flashbacks, cause distress and dysfunction, and heavily impact day-to-day functioning. Because that's what a mental disorder is, a collection of symptoms or experiences that cause distress in day-to-day life.
If there's no distress, there's no reason to be diagnosed. If the full diagnostic criteria isn't met, there isn't a disorder. Most, if not all, symptoms found in mental disorders are also found without them.
Sadness without depressive disorders, anxiety without anxiety disorders, seizures without seizure disorders, trauma without trauma disorders, hallucinations without psychotic disorders, social difficulties without autism, attention struggles without ADHD, compulsions without OCD, emotional dysregulation without BPD, impulsiveness without ASPD, poor self-image without AVPD, trust issues without PPD, indecisiveness without DPD, etc.
DID and other dissociative disorders are no different. Dissociation exists outside of dissociative disorders in a variety of contexts, including normal life. Multiplicity also exists outside of dissociative disorders, also in a variety of contexts, also including normal life. Nontraumagenic multiplicity has shown up in brain scans and numerous other pieces of research.

Also, your tags are disgusting. Look up what ableism is. And there are numerous traumagenic systems that aren't disordered, you're fakeclaiming them just as much as you're fakeclaiming endogenic systems. Not to mention, "plural" was a term for those whose experiences of multiplicity are less and not medical, including non-disordered and non-traumagenic systems.
The word 'asexual' is used when someone means 'aromantic'
Both aromantic and asexual people ask people to make the distinction because those two are not the same
There is a distinction between 'aromantic' and 'asexual'
Some people who are both think 'aromantic asexual' is a mouthful so they call themselves 'aroace'
People start using 'aroace' when they mean 'aromantic'
It never ends

TUMBLR STORY TIME.
I volunteer for my local shelter and when the weather's good, we do a free vaccine clinic every Friday. Free distemper, free rabies, cats and dogs. We hand out free food from the pet pantry, we give people leashes and collars, we do whatever we can to keep people's animals at home and healthy. Every animal that can stay home and be fed and be vaccinated is an animal that we can keep out of the shelter.
We get all kinds of folks, sometimes we even get backyard breeders but we don't do any judgment, because we want people to come and get their dogs vaccinated, because one parvo case costs $7000+ and the whole year of Parvo vaccines for hundreds of dogs costs less. It's just harm reduction, everything we do is harm reduction.
So anyway, this one day this woman comes up to the vax clinic and she is high as fuckin' hell, just obliterated fucked up, smoking a joint in line, and she has this TINY pibble puppy with her, maaaaybe four weeks old. This thing is so fuckin tiny and wormy and lethargic, and she's like, "Hey I heard I can get her shots." and we're like, oh fuck this puppy is gonna die. Like straight up, we were all like, fuck that dog is gonna die. So we gave her wormer, we gave the first distemper shot, and I put together a whole care package: wormer to take home, puppy milk replacer, puppy wet food, a leash, a harness, some blankets, toys, we gave her instructions on how to get the puppy eating food, and we told her to come back in 3 weeks for the follow up vaccine. And we were all like, well fuck, that puppy's gonna die, goddamnit, that's so fucked up. But you know, we did our best, and we hoped we'd see her again.
And in three weeks, you guys, she showed up. And she was still high, but like, half-high this time. Smoking a cigartte in line but like, could focus, could ask and answer questions. And she'd taught that tiny puppy how to SIT and had her walking on a leash. We found out that it took her three buses to get to the clinic, and she told us all about how she got the puppy eating right, got her stool solid, she was taking her on walks... The puppy looked so good, you guys. I almost cried, it was so big. Really happy puppy. At the end of the visit, we were like, ok, see you in three more weeks for the next distemper.
So three weeks later, she shows up, and she's sober, and she told us, "You know, I was really fucked up the day I bought that puppy, I wasn't sure I was going to live, and I bought that puppy and she was too young, and I didn't know what I was doing but y'all were so nice to me, and you helped me so much, and I knew that I had to give this puppy the best life I could, so I moved back in with my grandma, and I'm getting clean, and I'm on methadone, and I'm going to rehab next week, and when I get back, I'll come back and visit you guys again."
So I just wanna say. Sometimes it's hard to find a reason to get clean for yourself. Sometimes you gotta do it for a little critter that depends on you.
Anyone else noticing theres no websites anymore. You never go to website.com anymore its always some bullshit like "go to the smeeple app store and download the flubi app" i dont want toooo what ever happened to websites. I do not like it
npd culture is getting pissed when everyone thinks you're not a narc just cause you're not abusive like bitch you don't know me and my ego I can be the nicest person ever while thinking I'm better than you and everyone else fucking watch me
