I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.
dude.
$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.
Hospitals like to hide these policies under a lot of successive links in obscure places, so if you don't see anything right away, keep looking! Get friends to help! Make it a scavenger hunt. A game where you're assassins sent to slit capitalism's throat
Are you doing okay? We missed you at the devil's sacrament. He mentioned you by name. Everyone was looking around and cheering until we realized you weren't there. If you need to talk I'm always here. At the aforementioned devil's sacrament.

Where to get samples:
I personally recommend Luckyscent and Surrender to Chance for decants of brands that might be out of stock or don't offer samples. Most samples will be anywhere from $3 to $8 and these sites will often have sales, especially during the holidays.
Some places such as Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, Hexennacht, or The Strange South are partnered with Ajevie to provide samples.
Additional:
Fragrances more often than not are NOT cheap. I highly recommend tracking down a sample of whatever fragrance you want BEFORE spending the money to get a bottle. Always try fragrances in a small amount beforehand to make sure you have no reactions to the formula or scent, and wash it off quickly if you do. When wearing perfume oils, keep the area out of direct sunlight.
Why do I see so few endo systems online? I see a lot of pro-endo did/osdd blogs, but never the endos themselves and I was wondering why
They're definitely around, but I guess it might have something to do with the whole idea being a pretty obscure branch of pseudoscience. I'd say that DID in general is still a relatively niche topic in the grand scheme of things, so the amount of people who actually identify with the concepts invented in response to DID by a small anti-science corner of the internet isn't likely to be too large.
I think the debates around this kind of stuff tends to gain more traction than the ideas themselves. The whole "polymind" thing might be a similar example, there were months of heated discourse about that and yet I can genuinely count the amount of people I saw actually identifying as "polyminds" on one hand.
I personally think part of the reason why the "endo" thing has remained within the discourse for so long is because it's so closely related to other controversial topics. A lot of pro-endo people also tend to believe in a lot of other anti-recovery and anti-science misinformation (such as alters being separate people, DID being an identity or subculture, fusion and integration being bad, etc).
So people aren't really arguing just about "endos", they're arguing about an entire viewpoint surrounding systemhood. Essentially it comes down to whether you view it as a legitimate scientific concept or as an online label for people to identify with.
for your Dissociagender term, can pro endos use it? (for context I’m endo neutral but one of my pro endo headmates feels like it fits them extremely well)
I'd rather not, but can't stop anyone. I mostly just ask that its not misconstrued as being an endo inclusive term if they post about it, or that its not posted to pluralpedia :p

Flag color meanings in alt text !
These terms are exclusive to those with dissociative disorders, or those with disorders that have dissociation as a symptom (schizospec, bpd, ptsd, etc.). These identities could be due to being a fragment/alter in a dissociative system, a temporary identity assumed during a dissociative episode, or a fluid or solid identity in those with chronic dissociation(until said dissociation is levitated).
DNI endogenic/ntg, transDID/transplural, radqueer, or similar identities.
i step out onto stage clad in full corpse paint and death metal regalia and start playing the most middle-of-the-road soft rock you've heard since 1974
"Horse but make it a lizard and give it bat wings and horns"
didnt know how to interpret "make it a lizard" so i wrote lizard and drew an arrow pointing to the horse so people know its a lizard. Also didn't know what bat horns were so I gave it a horned bat nose
"A body like a big cat but completely covered in scales, the head of a crocodile with the horns of an ibex, and the wings of a bat on its back"
On it boss o7, ive mashed all these animals together and threw scales all over it. This the dragon you saw?
"Take a lizard, extend the neck. Add a pair of bat wings to the back. Add horns and sharp teeth."
Seems like we're onto somethin' boss! Though idk how it'd be so fearsome bein such a small thing.
"Imagine a winged alligator that was 70 feet tall and aware of its existence"
i dont know if this is a dragon but it could definitely be some kind of god
"Dinosaur with wings and horns?"
Dunno which dino you were talkin about so i just picked a random one. Stegosauus :}
"Big snake with legs and horns that can breathe fire"
Ah. Hm.
"A dragon is like a tree, in that it's a made up category for a broadly similar type of mythological creature that has no relationship to other dragons, but you know a dragon when you see one the way you know a tree when you see one."
this is literally exactly like medieval bestiaries. a description which was game-of-telephoned out of an ancient account from somebody who might have seen the animal in question, being misinterpreted by an artist who has not seen it
"Hahaha, I'm only bringing up Charlie Kirk's death because it is a JOKE to me. I think it's FUNNY. That's why I'm still malding about him almost a year after his murder."
Well, I guess if he's got you this upset he must be on to something, right? Isn't that what they say? Regardless, I'm curious: would you be holding this same energy if Charlie were a woman? Even one you disagree with? Or is there a permissibility to (often brutal) violence against men that you simultaneously refuse to acknowledge while also cheekily playing into?
