we're the synergic, a medically recognized system of about 50+ known alters. we also have a slew of other physical and mental disabilities, and chronic illnesses. collectively, we go by Dax (ze/zim/zir) as well (although some synergists prefer their own names when in front). we are a parent of one, and a fur dad of 5 cats. we are bodily trans masc, trixic, polyamorous, and partnered. we are bodily over 30. it isn't our job to ensure our blog/interactions adhere to a million other people's rules. if we break your DNI, we assure you it is unintentional and encourage you to just block us. we do not intentionally break DNI when we are aware of it.
we're focused on our healing, with a goal of functional multiplicity.
we do not have any energy for any kind of discourse. a few parts will occasionally share syscourse-aligned posts due to our own system's experience. this is not an invitation to argue with us. we are anti endo and you won't change our mind after the damage their misinformation caused to our own recovery.
we do not have a DNI; however, we block freely.
we are friendly and open; we enjoy helping and supporting others when we are doing okay ourselves; if you DM us please be patient - we have varying levels of social battery. we will get to you when we are able. we don't ghost people unless they don't respect our boundaries. we just get stuck in the time vortex, yk?
we intend to use this blog to share our recovery journey; to connect with other systems and build a community of friends and support; and to allow our system a place where everyone is simply free to be themselves - celebrated, for being themselves even.
we use Parallax, and we are happy to add some friends on there.
please don't send us unsolicited advice!! we have a support system such that if we want advice we will ask someone we trust. We block over this.
We Are Made of Love
Who Are We?
* bodily we are a white-passing, trans masc person who lives in the US. some alters may have a darker complexion than the body. these alters are NOT POC because our lived experience is not that of a POC. please understand any images shared of our alters are meant to give them a sense of self to help them ground and heal and we cannot control how they see themselves in headspace.
Not all of us will speak up here, but we're going to do a little role call with sign offs for those of us who use Tumblr! we will be adding our posted by banners as we make them :) if you see a symbol or emoji that isn't on this list, it is a sign off from one of us who would prefer to remain anonymous. Those emojis may include: ✄; 🦭; 🌑;
* this alter has fuzztives who may use his sign off; if he seems inconsistent between interactions this is why - however, he is the main headmate who will use this sign off
Lu - OC Fuzztive. Caretaker. Friendly and Helpful. 🌈 (he/him).
Maybe its just me with the urge to infodump about my system but I lowkey kinda wish I had more singlet friends who want to enthusiastically learn about me and my system. About DID in particular. Idk I can't put this into proper words properly theres a difference for me between talking to a singlet about my system and talking to another system about my system
i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af
i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience
say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!
The amount of people who are unaware that blackouts are not that common - even for full DID systems - especially out of a specific situation; and as a result minimalize their own very much problematic amnesia, or apologize before they complain about their own amnesia, is geniunely saddening. Regardless of how many people black out or not, if it's disrupting your daily life on a regular basis YES you have amnesia.
white people appropriating aave is always irritating but specifically the use of "-ahh" like "goofy-ahh" "stupid-ahh" bro if you are not black just say ass. ass belongs to everyone, dumbass. are you afraid of cursing?? youre stealing the language of black americans cos you don't want to be caught saying a bad word like ASS ?
before we start posting that july is gay wrath month let’s consider that july is disability pride month first and foremost. the “be gay do crimes” memes can wait
before this post breaches containment and people start going “why not both hehehe” i want you to seriously consider the very long history of disabled people’s existence being pushed aside and/or seen as secondary. i promise you it’s not going to hurt to hold onto the memes and give disabled people space for visibility and celebration.
i say this as a disabled trans person whose trans identity is made front-and-center to the (mainly cis) people who know i’m trans but my identity as a disabled person is brushed off by the very same people.
"making them afraid will make them more racist" that's wild to me, because we live in a whole culture of social consequences for antiracism anyway. It is literally safer to be a racist than it is to speak up against it, socially.
Idk about you, but "I'm afraid no one will want to be my friend if I'm a white supremacist" seems like a pretty logical thought process to have, and I wish THAT were the normal and not "I'm afraid my friends will hate me if I tell them they made racist jokes".
I had a more intellectual answer for you, but tbh... Then I guess they'll find out. And when they do, they have two options: apologize and actively commit to doing better, or understand that they are choosing racism and will be treated as such. Because the society we live in, somehow option number 2 is the easier route due to a lack of social consequences for being a bigot. I don't think choosing to be a bigot should be the easier route. It should suck to be a racist.
This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.
