Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:

1. Do not do age verification.

2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

Free Tool Says it Can Bypass Discord's Age Verification Check With a 3D Model

The tool presents users with a 3D model they can then manipulate to, the creator says, bypass Discord's age verification system.

Oh no I dropped my link, what a horrible thing! Sure hope this doesn't get reblogged until it reaches users from the UK and Brazil!

And remember to not make a second account just to test out what works best when verifying your identity

it's always funny to me when ppl act like it's somehow incestuous for characters who consider each other found family/chosen family/whatever u wanna call the trope to date each other, and it's funny for many reasons, but most specifically it's funny because irl when you meet a person and get really attached and decide that you want to be family with them, there's a very popular legally recognized way of doing that & it's called marriage

Hey, I've seen that you recommended some ressources in an ask and I wanted to ask for some ressources for myself (hope that's fine) coz I'm in a similar situation, not finding a therapist, but I have pdid. And I hope to find some tips and tricks on to how... to make life easier for the alters without opening up trauma or memories. Idk strengething communication enough to then ask, what they want in this moment for examples. Like very rarely this works already and then its something like "listen to the music you liked at 13" and I mean, thats an really easy task that I felt like helped a lot. Or how to deal with conflicting wishes from different alters (right now I just don't do any of them, which feels like the worst solution).

But my connection to them is really weak and sometimes I feel like some of the alters are really closely linked to emotions/memories, like I can't communicate with them without getting some emotions or vague memories that aren't mine. But I still think it should be possible to... at least make life easier for the whole system, without going into trauma, don't you think? Do you have any ideas, ressources, tips or idk yt videos, that might be helpful?

Hey anon,

Establishing connections with headmates without opening up cans of worms can be a challenge. When you're not in a place to address trauma, but are still needing to establish connections in order to manage the symptoms, there are a handful of things that may help. Music is a fantastic one, but definitely not the only one. Here are some other ideas:

• A system journal. This often includes invitations for others to write, weekly questions, or get to know you sections as well as life updates and knowledge to help make others feel more comfortable existing and being around

• Broad clothing options.

• Shows or media you feel attached to, or used to enjoy.

• Frequent check ins with yourself, your headspace, and your body. This could include writing how you're feeling, becoming more aware of how grounded you feel or if there are others nearby, or taking notice of how you're holding tension in your body.

• Heat mapping. This is a technique where you essentially sit with yourself, and map out where you feel other headmates in relation to yourself. Further back, behind, beside, nearby, etc. This can often be described with hot or cold language as well, which is why it's called heat mapping.

• Polls for decision making. There are many ways to do this, but apps like SimplyPlural could be very beneficial with this. If you're unfamiliar, SimplyPlural is an app for systems. You can create profiles for alters, leave messages, have group chats, log front time, and vote on created polls as individuals. This brings me to my next suggestion.

• Apps and Bots. Various apps like SimplyPlural (android and ios and pc compatible) and Mystagram (ios only unfortunately) can be very helpful and nice, allowing alters to have their own profiles and interact with each other. In addition, Discord has a very lively system community (but please be careful, I don't know your age and many system places online can be incredibly misinformed and harmful. If you are comfortable, with your age I could give decent recommendations) and finding a server or even creating a private server for yourself where you add a proxy bot such as PluralKit or Octocon which allow alters to create and speak with individual discord profiles through proxies could also be very encouraging. Good servers can also help you learn a lot and make more connections with people who understand what you're going through and could help you navigate this.

Overall, it's about creating a safe and welcoming environment for headmates so that they feel like they can truly be known. DID/OSDD/PDID/etc are covert for a reason. It takes comfort, stability, and safety to really get others to open up and be known. All of you were created out of trauma and instability irl, and being yourselves could have had very dangerous consequences. Therefore, irl still feels very unstable and scary and dangerous. Make it welcoming, and you will likely see more and know more of your fellow alters.

Best of luck, and if you need more information or tips, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Massachusetts's Millionaire Tax Still Going Very Well, Thank You!

And the millionaires aren't going anywhere, for the most part.

Excellent update on year 2 of this program:

Last May, we were very happy to report that the Millionaire Tax instituted in the state of Massachusetts was working out very well, not scaring off all of the rich people, and raising funds for necessary education and transportation initiatives. The state had raised $1.8 billion — $800 million more than they predicted — and none of the terrible things the naysayers had predicted happened at all. But how are things going a year later? Even better! The tax has now generated $3 billion more than expected, for a total of $5.7 billion that has been spent on projects that are positively benefiting Massachusetts residents and “being used to bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit.” In case you need a refresher, the tax is a 4 percent tax on anything people make over a million dollars.

This article has a great way of framing tax alarmists for the hypocrites they are. It’s woven neatly through the whole article, but this quote really sums it up:

Sure, people complain. Rich people are always going to complain about taxes. But they never flee the way they threaten to, largely because whether or not they like to admit it, they prefer to live in the kinds of areas where things are made nicer by the taxes they don’t want to pay.

Tax the rich. Most of them won’t notice and even more of them won’t care

“There aren’t enough hours in a day.” There are actually. The problem is that we think 40 hour work weeks are an unavoidable fact of life.

The problem is that everyone has to work 8 hours, pretty much no exceptions, and with getting ready time + (unpaid) lunch + commute, “8 hours” is actually anywhere between 9 and 12, every single day, with more work to do when you get home because our society and culture was built around having one member of the household home full time and nothing has changed now that almost everyone works.

No wonder Americans are reliant on DoorDash and fast food, there’s no time or energy to cook. No one wonder mental and physical health are in shambles, many just spent all day sitting in fluorescent lights with little to no stimulation. “Just wake up earlier” “Just meal prep”… these are ok short-term, individual solutions, but the broader, systemic issue is obvious. We aren’t built for this. There’s no work-life balance. Genuinely, I think if our culture could normalize a shorter work week, many individuals’ biggest problems would simply evaporate.

[coldbrewpup]

yknow we talk about it lightly and crack jokes about it but it really is existentially dreadful that we work so many hours every day, every week, every year, that it leaves us constantly tired and with next to no free time for social connections, artistic endeavors, living life. it's a fucking horror story.

“If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. but if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly. If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would move back again and again and beg to be admitted so that I might share in what I was entitled to share. If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.”

Undiagnosed systemhood is

Thinking you just have no sense of self, and that's why your "personality" keeps changing.

Feeling like you're watching someone else operate your body, with no idea how or why.

Having strange deja vu moments where you feel like you've done something, but you don't remember any specific details.

Feeling like years of your life weren't actually lived by you, but by someone else that still exists somewhere in you.

Saying things that you can't control or don't agree with and not being able to do anything to fix it.

Feeling like you don't belong in your body, like you aren't actually you.

[letters-to-lgbt-kids]

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

Let’s talk about safety on first dates. 

If you meet up with someone you met online (on a dating app or otherwise), you’ll probably have your safety in mind anyway. After all, you’re essentially meeting up with a total stranger and no matter how sweet they were online, they could be completely different in person. But even if you go on a date with someone you already know: dating is a vulnerable situation. It’s always better to keep some safety measures in mind, so it can be a comfortable experience. 

Some things to consider: 

Tell a trusted friend about the date. (If you’re a minor, tell an adult.) Let them know who you are meeting, where you’ll meet them and when you expect to be back. If you are closeted, it’s better to lie and say you’re meeting an online friend than to not tell anyone at all! 

Choose a public location where other people are present. A coffee shop or a busy park are great options. 

It’s best to not rely on your date for a ride back home. Arrange your own transportation, so you have the freedom to cut the date short on your own terms. (This still applies if you don’t have your own car! Look up public transportation schedules and take enough money with you to be able to call a cab if necessary.) 

Don’t get drunk. You may think some drinks will ease your nerves, but it’ll also make you less aware of your surroundings and impair your judgement. 

Never leave your beverage unattended. Get a new one if you lost sight of it. (Spiking a beverage with a date rape drug can happen within seconds, and you won’t necessarily be able to taste or see that it has been tampered with!) 

If your date refuses to agree on safety measures (for example, they insist on meeting up at their house and get upset when you explain you want to meet up in a public space), take that as a red flag. Obviously this doesn’t have to mean they plan on murdering you, but it definitely shows that they’re not considerate and respectful of your boundaries. 

Don’t be afraid to „make a scene“. If your date is trying to coerce or intimidate you into something you don’t feel comfortable with, if they’re touching you against your will etc., you don’t need to be polite. Draw attention to the situation. Get loud. Call for help. Scream. Don’t worry about being „rude“, do what you need to do to get away from a dangerous situation. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad
