We’re the Sol Cluster, a plural group of well over 20 - possibly an infinite number. We have no introjects. We do not talk about our origins.
We and our partner system (the Star Cluster, tagged below) make up the Galaxy Collective. Our two clusters consider ourselves a collective due to a lot of overlap.
A few things about us/this blog:
We are bodily adult.
We reblog some syscourse on occasion (not frequently), & are VERY pro-endogenic & pro-tulpa.
Please don’t send us syscourse.
We are anti-harassment & anti-doxxing.
We are VERY pro-trans & anti-terf.
If we reblog something that bothers you or makes you uncomfortable, please don’t dm us about it (EXCEPT IF IT’S TERF-Y then absolutely please letus know bc we want no part in that bs & us reblogging it wasabsolutely an accident). You may unfollow or block if you need to - no hard feelings.
We generally prefer not to dm if we don’t know you well/at all.

Alirealm is a term to describe beings who consider themselves to be singlets instead of plural (or systems instead of subsystems if individuals in an alirealm are plural) because they view themselves as from another universe/realm/planet/etc and not inside one body/mind/etc. Individuals in an alirealm may control one body, but they are not parts of a system and their "innerworld" or "headspace" is just as much of a real world as the one you're in right now. An alirealm's world may be an exact copy of this world, or it may be completely different, any kinds of worlds are equally real. Any experiences or trauma that happen in an alirealm's world are just as real as this world's. Individuals in an alirealm are just as much real people as people in this world.
The term "alirealm" comes from "alius" (Latin for "another") and "realm".
The stripe meanings are:
Gray-brown for feeling disconnected from the typical concept of "systems" being "multiple people in one brain/body"
Light brown for individuals in alirealms who are also plural
White for feeling a connection with others in your alirealm due to using the same body to access this world
The blue, purple, and pink represent all the different experiences individuals may go through in their alirealm's world
The term "alirealm", of course, has the inherent beliefs that non-traumagenic and non-disordered plurality are possible. And, of course, exotrauma/exomemories/intratrauma/intramemories/etc are just as real as trauma/memories from this world, as well as any other possible experience in an alirealm. Other than that, this term has no DNI and no inherent stances because you can't put a DNI on an identity lmao
can we like. honestly talk about how difficult it is to live as a system in a singlets' world. like as a separate thing from the challenges of dealing with trauma or internal conflicts like. specifically the pain of hiding your multiplicity from others.
i cannot go to work and say "hey guys, it's rogue today" and then just be rogue. i cannot say to my mom "hey, sophie wants you to pick up something from the store." i cannot say "hey, can you give me a second, i have to deal with something internally real quick" and then turn my attention in to the headspace.
our child alters cannot be children except online and around maybe 2 people irl. if a child alter fronts around our family or at work they have to just be an adult until an adult alter comes back.
we cannot use our own names. we cannot speak with our own voices. our loved ones do not know us. our distinct individualities and experiences of life are flattened down into the amalgamated person we are forced to pretend to be.
i implore singlets to just fucking think about if you could tolerate living that way.
does anyone else get irrationally angry whenever people imply you’re still only parts of one person
Like. Yes we started out like that but we’ve all become our own separate people who just happen to share a body
We are not parts anymore, we grow and change and become more because we are people not parts
We are not a broken mirror that needs to be pieced back together, we’re a crystal that shattered, only for the shards to grow into crystals of their own with individual facets that cannot be pieced together back into one because it is many now

Lesbians dressed as clowns disrupted a "gender-critical" panel last month at University College London. Participants were surprised when trans and cis dykes from The Dyke Project obstructed the proceedings while in cheerful clown attire. Julie Bindel, one of the panelists, has been a major voice against trans, bisexual, and SWer rights. The protesters chanted, “you’re not feminists, you’re all clowns!” while interrupting her. More of these protests, please! Read the full story on Dazed.
Per the Dazed article, these protesters did the smart thing: rather than all begin shouting at once, the protesters took action in different groups. While the first group raised a banner, the remaining three groups pretended not to be protesters. Then, once the event organizers had removed the first group and begun the presentation over again, the second group of people (the ones in the video) began their disruption. Then the event organizers got everything in order and the third group of protesters interrupted them all over again. There was four groups in total!
The tactic has two benefits: first, they were able to make chaos a lot longer than they would've if they'd all protested all at once. But also, they got the TERFs to stop trusting each other. The protesters created an air of paranoia amongst the bigots and I hope it fucking haunts them until they're in the ground
Collective Shout is the reason for steam and itch's delisting of games, and is now claiming they "didn't mean all adult content"
Collective Shout denies calling on Itch to remove all of its adult games, but it was behind the pressure on payment processors.
The steam updated rules regarding content cc companies deem innapropriate:
The uk online safety act came into full effect July 25, 2025
The uk has started a police force with the intent of "monitoring for anti-migration sentiment"
The EU Digital Services Act has been in force since February 17, 2024. The EU is working on implementing a harmonised age-verification application. It does seem like this is less of a "upload your id" privacy nightmare situation, more akin to the Dutch DigID system where the information is stored separately and the website only gets a yes/no from the login app.
The Kids Online Safety Act has been reintroduced
I cannot verify browsers being stuck in safe search being a new issue, it has happened sporadically since at LEAST 2018
The wikimedia foundation is fighting the online safety act for requiring age verification on wikipedia, which goes against their principles.
Mouthwashing has been delisted since October 2024 for using the "download" button as a link to Steam, against itch.io's policy
The white house is not happy about the Digital Services Act (eu) , calling it a "foreign censorship threat". A trump ally has spoken out against the Online Safety Act. Another has said that "multiple" american websites have given instructions to sue Ofcom (regulator of UK OSA law). The UK expects companies operating in the uk to keep to the laws in effect there regarding access to online content. This does not mean these companies have to do the same for users outside the uk. "forcing us companies to censor themselves" is a slight overstatement, as "keeping to the laws of the country you operate in" is usually how things go, and this applies to all companies active in the UK regardless of where they're from.
The uk is not planning on banning vpn's. They are planning on blocking "content that promotes using VPN's as workarounds, when they are aimed specifically at young users"
Google and Apple have removed some vpn services at the request of the Russian government, though they don't always comply. Last year there was some talk of banning VPN's altogether per may 1, 2025 but this does not appear to have happened
Cloudflare has started blocking piracy domains in the uk, in a way that isn't circumventable by VPN. This is not the same as blocking vpns
Fear and hunger is still listed, but behind an "are you 18" question. Vpn on uk does not change this to ask for actual ID. I am not familliar with the game, this link goes to the top search result for "fear and hunger itch" but i also checked results further down with identical results.
Australia is planning on banning social media alltogether for users under 16, starting Dec 10, 2025
The uk is plainning on giving 16 year-olds the right to vote, But i cannot find sources on "protest and anti-immigration topics including a speech in parliament labeled not safe for kids". Possible op refers to the police force.
Itch has started re-indexing all free nsfw content, and will re-index paid nsfw content "slowly".
if you’re wondering why spellcheck and grammar check is worse now, it’s because they replaced it with AI! 🥰
now, instead of maintaining a comprehensive, nuanced, and human-maintained encyclopedia by which to check your document, they have switched to an AI that just compares what you’ve written to what other people write in, say, Google Docs, and use the most commonly used iteration.
ever have it change something like “all intents and purposes” to “all intensive purposes” or “should’ve” to “should of”? that’s why!
people make the same spelling and grammar mistakes so often, AI thinks that’s the way you say it because it is a PATTERN DETECTOR and cannot THINK let alone use language.
Jesus fucking Christ. I don’t know if reading this while having a mental health crisis was a terrible idea or just what I needed. But fuck me if I don’t feel both incredibly seen and incredibly called out.
Dropping the link for the full article in case anyone is interested in reading it. Because it’s certainly done a number on me this morning
A “deleted scene” from my book Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity
i literally live 10 miles from shitterton and i can confirm that the council had to replace all of their signs with rocks because they kept getting stolen.
