Today Was One Of The Best Days We’ve Had In Ages. We Got Chores Done. Fen Got To Spent A Lot Of Time

OP might look into nail rings for 🌺! Just a thought - I didn’t even know they were a thing until recently!

silly system culture is some of us wanting those really long pretty bejeweled fake nails and the rest of us who would fight anyone who tries to put them on /silly

(🌺 really wants some but I, 🍃 cannot have my nails long at all)

Make a poll to decide and the looser shall start the silly kingdom /pf

Hope you can decide soon and that doesn't become a big problem, good luck!

Tired. Exhausted. Overwhelmed. No one wants to front. It’s hot and muggy out today so the body is disgusting and sweaty - even more so than usual. We’re feeling socially claustrophobic but there’s nowhere we can go to be alone. Can’t take a bath cuz there’s only one bathroom and two other people in this tiny ass one bedroom apartment. Can’t be in the bedroom alone cuz partner is there. Can’t be in the living room alone cuz temporary roommate is there. Can’t dissociate with headset on at the computer because one dog is whining nonstop and I am unable to figure out why he’s having such problems today (we’ve had multiple walks, he’s done all his business, he’s had food, he’s had water, and he’s had play time) - and the whining is something I can’t ignore - it’s like when … I don’t know. I’ve run out of spoons for ranting even.

We’re gonna update the side logs list today!!

Talking to one of our dogs while we’re having a bath triggered some memories of pre-system discovery things that make so much more sense now.

Let me explain.

Valor very much enjoys stealing my towel while I’m bathing. He’ll dig around in it to make himself a little nest and then nap in the towel while I bathe.

So today I’m getting ready for a bath and I say “Oh boy, Valor! It’s time for your Favorite Thing!” referring to stealing my towel. But I know this is not actually his Favorite Thing. It is probably not even in his Top 5 Favorite Things. But because it’s something he definitely enjoys, I call it his Favorite Thing.

But that’s not what “favorite” means. A favorite implies a single thing that is liked more than all other things. People have favorite colors and movies and books and meals. And this struck me today. Examining my use of the word, I realized that I have always treated “favorite” in this way - as a way to describe something I “really really like” not necessarily more than all others. I’ve always had “multiple favorites” in just about every area of life. And I’ve always just written it off as an inability to be decisive or a quirk. Other people, at their worst, have described it as me being weak-willed, wishy-washy, or conviction-less.

But it’s none of those things.

It’s the fact that I’m plural. Of COURSE we’ve had multiple favorite movies for as long as we can remember. “The Care Bears Movie” has always been Madison’s favorite movie. That didn’t make Howl’s Moving Castle any less Aina’s favorite movie. Nor did Leigh developing an obsession with Frozen 2 make Aina’s favorite movie and less her favorite movie. But before we knew we were plural, it seemed and felt like we had multiple favorite movies. Or multiple favorite songs. Etc.

Now I’ve got thirty years of using “favorite” inaccurately to undo in myself. 🤣

plural culture is i’m so tired of all this drama with another system but there are so many relationships between us and so much anger to get out and it’s all so frustrating

Acquiring Trinkets and Hobby Stuff: hell yeah

Moving all of your Trinkets and Hobby Stuff to a new apartment: straight up having a bad time right now

We unfollowed them after they started calling another system on TikTok “cringe.” They’ve just gotten too messy so we wont be rewarding them with our attention anymore.

I’m so tired of seeing Aspen’s little fan base harassing people. You can be anti endo and NOT HARASS PEOPLE:

It’s not something funny to do at all.

And the fucking paranoia jokes. It’s fucked up. I do not understand why people support Aspen.

I get they use “I’m schizophrenic” as an excuse to use those “jokes” but they’re wrong to do and I would think that someone who deals with hallucinations and delusions from schizophrenia would understand the damage those jokes do.

If you agree with Aspen or just think what they do is absolutely hilarious and let them do whatever they want or support them, please do not interact with me.

I get that not every supporter will be bad, but I don’t want anything dealing with Aspen here. I’ve seen a joke from them that’s caused me distress and it’s upsetting to see that no one seems to hold Aspen accountable and just lets them do whatever.

Sure, I might be bashed, but at the same time, I refuse to support or interact with someone or a fan base that actively supports behavior like this.

We’re doing TikTok again. Probably YouTube again soon, too! We’re GalacticQuiltSystem on TikTok if you want to follow us there. :)
