I want to reject humanity and live in a hole with adequate moss.

Letters to those lost

Cw: grief

We have a lot of regrets about the people we’ve lost- things we said, things we didn’t say, things that we will never get to do together, milestones that they’ll miss.

One of the things we’ve found to cope with the grief is to write a letter to the people we’ve lost.

It doesn’t need to be long and detailed it doesn’t need to be short and concise, all it needs is for you to put your heart into it.

When your letter is complete go outside with it and a lighter,candle, or match. Burn the letter and collect the ashes once it’s done, then let the wind carry them off.

We aren’t spiritual or religious but sending the ashes of the letter into the wind is cathartic for us, it is healing, and it brings us a little peace.

We don’t know if this is a thing that other people do but if not we encourage anyone grieving to do so.

Seeing servers advertise themselves as being introject friendly and then follow that by saying "but factives from x y and z aren't allowed teehee" like stfu you're not introject friendly then.

The other day me and my friend were watching cinema therapy and the therapist on the show said something I think we should all try to remember.

In psychology we know very little solid facts, we can almost never look at something as definitively true or false there needs to be a small opening in the door.

We should be excited to learn that we were wrong about something we should be excited to hear about experiences outside of the usual standard. Psychology relatively speaking is a pretty new science the research on many disorders is limited, we are constantly learning new things but there has been this rise in trying to be right that we forget that we can’t always know everything.

When it comes to disorders like DID that are under researched a lot of people view things like the theory of structural dissociation as a fact and while it seems to be a very solid theory there is still room for expansion and improvement there’s still the possibility of certain aspects being incorrect or it all being correct but more pieces of the puzzle just weren’t included.

The reason I’m making this post is because I am someone that wants to be a psychologist and I want to do research tasks but from what I’ve learned some psychologist and some psychology teachers are stubborn they don’t want to admit that theories can be wrong or expanded upon.

Everyone wants to be right everyone wants to have made a discovery and when someone has a disorder that presents outside the box they can be quick to deny the disorder, to misdiagnosis, or claim faking.

Everyone psychologist those that have disorders and those who don’t need to keep open minds to peoples experiences and treat the knowledge we have as simply a work in progress that will always have room for improvement.

gentle reminder that neurodivergent means your brain works differently than the “normal” or average brain. this includes chemical imbalances, or disorders that change your brain chemistry or structure altogether. in other words, neurodivergence INCLUDES MENTAL ILLNESS!

i saw someone say ptsd is not neurodivergent - ptsd changes your brain structure permanently. you will forever think and process things differently than others. ptsd is a form of neurodivergence.

thank you for reading, that is all.

POLLY / MARBLE'S INTRO

hii!! you can call me either polly or marble, i use both and have no preference.

I'm a love manager !! for me this means i have all knowledge regarding our out of system relationships. i also hold onto a lot of wisdom about love and tend to be very affectionate <3

i don't have an exact age, but i am a young adult, maybe around my early 20s?

i use any/all pronouns, including any neopronouns you think might fit me! :) i identify as non-binary, but nothing more specific right now. if i were to describe my gender, its like if you were to put all the genders in a bowl and mix them together. so, i fit all genders at least a little bit, but they aren't necessarily separate experiences for me. if anyone has a term for this, feel free to share !! i'm also pansexual <3

i'm a fully verbal alter!

i'm visually sourced from the tbh / autism creature! i look like a white, fluffy, four legged creature with big, beady eyes and pink pawpads. i also have an infinity symbol on my flank !

as for likes, i really like drawing, playing games, hanging out with my friends, and just generally socializing !! i love people :D

for boundaries, please use tone tags with me when needed! i have a hard time telling tone sometimes.

below is an old drawing of myself!! its a bit outdated but its pretty accurate and i still like it :)

(all of my posts will be tagged marble.gif)

the brain has been forcing me up to front a lot recently for some reason, so i might post a lot more than others !!

Don’t know why tf people have to be told this in 2024 but

Do not fucking call yourself a trans ally if you demonize or exclude certain alignments.

This means masculine-aligned

This means feminine-aligned

This means people who fit into neither

This means multigender

This means people who’s gender you may not fully understand

This means gender not based on traditional concepts

I can’t believe people still have to be fucking told this, but DO NOT call yourself a trans ally if you saying “I support all trans people… except these ones.” And I don’t care if you’re a trans person who pulls this shit. That’s disappointing.

What’s happening is awful, sharing posts like these is the least we can do to help. Don’t let Palestine become old news it has to stay a main focus.

The disabled community fucking NEEDS to rally for Palestine. Israel is creating millions more of us. They are permanently disabling people, robbing them of their ability, their agency, and giving no support. Disabled Palestinians are dying not just from violence but from neglect due to lack of resources, which is violence itself. We have to support these people, people who haven't even been able to come to terms with the fact that their limbs are missing, they're severely traumatized, they can't move without pain, they've been so focused on just surviving. There cannot be a single Palestinian left without physical and/or mental trauma. And there are absolutely no resources being given to them, they're being actively withheld.

Please give anything you can offer. Money, coping mechanisms, resources, information, emotional support, e-sims, you could probably even donate any disability aids you don't use anymore to refugees in your home country. I know a lot of us are unable to protest right now. Sharing information is also extremely important. There ARE things we can do. Protesting is only one aspect of activism. Sending emails, making phone calls, directly supporting Palestinians in one of the ways I said above.

Just like covid is a mass disabling event, a genocide is a mass disabling event. Please do not forget this and remember, you CAN make a difference.

(BTW this is not one of those "you should care about them because they're like us!" things, everyone should care about Palestinians because they're human beings. The point of this post is to discuss what we as disabled people can do to support people who are suddenly disabled without help. Becoming disabled is not easy even with support and healthcare.)
