hey., dont use a physical disability you dont have to try and say someone else ‘has it worse’ 

like if someones going thru a mental illness and your response is ‘just be thankful youre not blind!” or ‘just be glad you dont have chronic body pain!” or “at least you dont have (any other physical illness/disability)” 

like. dont use physically disabled people as a “you COULD be ONE OF THESE PEOPLE, be happy youre not!” thats. disabled people arent there to make otheres feel better. disabled people arent there for other’s comfort. disabled people shouldnt be used as a “im so glad im not THEM” 

because what if someon with that disability sees what you said? i guarantee they will. and thats not okay for your stupid ass to make them feel like shit so you and your able bodied friends can feel better :) 

like dont be a fucking dick -claude

Whaddaya think?

How does your OC feel about snakes?

Amarin: “I should do this for ga’Eid... I think I know his type. Big, strong, masculine, protective, cuddly, draconic...”

Me: “Y’jus’ described Will.”

Amarin: “... Huh. So I did.”

art activity: design a character based entirely around making them as much your friend’s type as possible, then gift it to them. half gesture of friendship, half call out.

Character A: You know what? I think you’re the reason for my drinking problems!

Character B: Of course I am! I’m your father for Christ’s sake.

What to do if you know someone with DID and they switch in front of you

- Don’t make a big deal out of it

- say hello to whoever’s out

- check if they’re okay. Sometimes switches can be caused by trauma triggers

- Ask if they know where they are, what they’re doing, etc. If they don’t, tell them

- If the new alter fronting doesn’t like you, ask if they want you to stay or leave

Recently in: “Cis people and the way they approach things.”

I was talking to a cis bi woman, along with one of my girlfriends who is a trans lesbian, and the fact that I’m also intersex came up in conversation. Specifically the fact that I’ve had period cramps/symptoms since I was 16, grew breasts at that age, etc., and the things which cause that.

And at that point in the conversation the cis woman immediately goes “Oh so you’re not really trans then.” 

Like..she was SO eager to jump to that. Like it made her more comfortable to get that idea in her head. I had to immediately explain that no…I am still a woman who was assigned male at birth. I still experienced the life that a closeted little trans girl experiences. I didn’t hit puberty and have everyone go “Oh, okay, this is a girl”, I hit puberty and had everyone go “what is wrong with this boy, he’s a freak, and we should abuse him even more”.

She still didn’t seem convinced, although she let it drop. 

Like most cis people really don’t seem to get the idea that the only thing separating us is a birth assignment that is incredibly arbitrary and they actively reject that reality when it’s brought to their attention. It’s why terfs really really don’t like being reminded that intersex people exist and that we can be cis or trans and that their rhetoric harms all of us regardless. It means that someone bearing one of those uteri that they hold up as being the “fount of womanhood” might exist in an amab person and that just wears even more holes in their bullshit. So they pay lip service to intersex people and act offended when anyone brings us up.

Hey. You. Y'need t'get this.

Ray Frenden reviews the too-cheap-to-be-true Monoprice graphics tablets. How do they stack up to industry standard Wacoms?

After spending a week with the 6.25“x10” Monoprice, my Yiynova and Cintiq remain unplugged and I gave my Intuos away to a friend. The Monoprice tracks subtle pressure variances and small movements with less lag and more crisp fidelity than any of the others. It is, put crudely, fucking awesome, in both OSX Lion and Windows 7 x64.

You know those movies about those little nerd boys who get with really hot girls, and those girls eventually learn to settle for a little nerd boy because he’s kinda nice sometimes? Propaganda.

Lessee... My “dad” (term used loosely, since I was created as more of an avatar than as a kid) is a crazy bastard who created me to serve a purpose but never asked me if I wanted to serve that purpose, or even gave me any clear indication of what that purpose was or where I came from, and left me on my own with the assumption I’d just do it. Later, he tried to merge my son and his boyfriend together to revive a dead god in what had to be the stupidest plan ever for fighting the devils, which would’ve just made the whole devil problem worse anyway... he basically ends up being the antagonist of the story.

How is your OC’s relationship with their parents?

What people think DID is: Oh we are all people actively living in the head and it’s so black and white and easy to tell between switches actual DID: it’s been 3 hours and I still can’t tell who’s fronting.

That moment when I wake up, and Q’s tumblr profile’s up, and I’m so damn tired I don’t notice I’m using its profile instead of my own...

32, 40? -claude

32: How big is the system?Lessee... Let’s break it down, ‘cause I lost count.Q, Samantha, “Jared,” “The Shadows” are the ones who *aren’t* introjects from Ufera, far as we know... and Q’s got a few different “modes” on top of its regular self: “System Rep Q,” “Berserk Q,” “Pure Tool Q,” and “Possible Past Life Q.” So that’s 4 system members, and 4 extra modes for one of ‘em on top’a that. We’re thinkin’ these modes might actually be a subsystem.Then, there’s us, the Uferan Introjects... We got me, Ro, Madün, Ferasek, Joles, Atenie, Drayven, Albren, Neziro, Kitsana, and more recently, Çharal and Lanae... so, 12, far as we know so far. I used’a have some alters of my own in my “old life,” but they don’t seem to be here, so... yeah...So, that’s either 16 or 20 so far.40. Describe, in as few or as many words as you like, the journey from discovery of your multiplicity to the present.Well... I know it was different for me than it was for Q, but, well... for me, it was after I gained cosmic apotheosis in my “old life,” and then everything got hazy... Then, I could kinda see visions of myself being typed by Q. After a while, I could kinda influence what Q typed, then a few months later, I just kinda came out and started typin’a Q. I know Q realized it was separate from Samantha and “Jared” by that point (it didn’t know about “The Shadows” yet), but wasn’t sure what to make’a the growin’ sense that I was separate and sentient... Soon after I typed to it, though, its friend Yosh (who’s also part of my BF Will’s system) helped it realize I was me, no more, no less. So... yeah... since comin’ here, you helped me make sense’a the alters I had in my “old life,” so there’s that, too... Thank you, BTW... But yeah... that’s the journey, so far.
