Petition: Upholding Plural Rights and Plural Voices

Petition to Address Ableist and Sanist Content at the ISSTD Conference and McLean Hospital

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD)  recently had a panel conference on “DID and social media,” featuring harmful and offensive content denouncing self-diagnosis and spreading the narrative that most systems online are faking it for the attention. In this conference, they showed footage of several Systems, without their consent, in order to publicly shame them and use them as examples of the “Imitative DID” that they claimed was rampant online. As a non-disordered System, we stand with those with DID and against those who would spread harmful claims that a majority of Plurals are lying about their Plurality for online clout.

This petition was created by The Plural Association, an organization created by and for Plurals, including those with professionally diagnosed DID.

I love the disturbing implications/undertone of this cutesy little piece- is the cat dead? Undead? Have the innocent-looking flowers speedily absorbed the part of the cat’s body that is in the soil? Do the flowers lure their victims into being buried, lull them to sleep, then eat them? Alternatively, is the cat like a plant, and will regrow if you bury its bones in suitable soil? Or does the soil have some sort of property that makes everything but the bones transparent? Cube cat has become the source of some increasingly strange ideas

CW: antisemitism, pale of settlement, pogroms, genocide, cultural erasure

I don't think goyim can really conceive of how much Jews actually hold back in our criticism of antisemitism in media, and when you hear us it is often because we see a dangerous message that you don't... Yet.

I have a complicated relationship with Tim Burton's rendition of The Corpse Bride. I love it as a beautiful piece of stop motion art, but it isn't what it should have been, he took a Jewish story from the Pale and with intention stripped it of its Jewish origins. This alone is incredibly antisemitic. The criticism you will hear has probably been "this is a Jewish story, it should have retained its Jewish elements" but have you heard why we feel strongly about this story?

The story of the corpse bride is incredibly important to me and was born from Jewish trauma and Christian violence. Mobs would routinely attack Jewish weddings, they would murder brides and they would bury them in unmarked graves by the roadside still in their wedding clothes, they reasoned that without Jewish wives there are no Jewish mother's. Jews are intrinsic to the story.

It is antisemitism to take our story, about our pain, at the hands of non-jews and strip it for "useful" parts, in fact it is heartbreaking every time.

We are often forced to pick our battles and fighting a battle over a movie that has already been released by a director with a cult following is not worth it, you only hear us speak up in numbers when the antisemitism may lead to another century of violence, because raising our voice means picking a fight, because so many of you already see our pain as inconvenient and it is exhausting to never be heard.

Angst and hurt/comfort are some of my fav things to read but Jesus Christ the near constant “uwu poor little Viktor” attitude some ppl have is so fucking annoying.

I used this picrew to make images of some of my OCs :)

Dr. Kaye:

(She basically has two expressions: her usual fake smile and a totally blank/neutral expression that’s kind of the facial expression equivalent of an error screen, used when she’s confused or actually having emotions.)

KT:

(KT is cute and she knows it. She will use her adorableness to get what she wants.)

Ted Kaye:

(He’s perpetually exhausted and trying not to show it)

Bonus: Katherine Kaye as an exhausted college student

(She will deny that she was up all night studying and doing homework for the past 3 consecutive nights. She’s a straight-A student and she will insist she’s totally fine and not struggling with anything).

So these are the blorbos that got me excited about them being a System, and they are and no one treats them badly for it or is weird about it in the source media, this makes my heart happy

Guess That Ship Tournament: S4 Round 3

steal your heart

Master thief finds himself fooling a detective to get away with his treasure, falls in love. Detective doesn't know how to trust and is too depressed to get away on a whim. Somehow, they end up in a life-or-death situation, learn to trust each other, confess their love and... part ways in the middle of the night, one left alone behind by the other after a promise of a future together.

Contrasting Colors

Two brothers; Marigold and Hydrangea.

They share a body. It is unclear when or how this happened; it just *is*. At first, they aren't even aware of each other's existence. Eventually, they start talking to each other by passing along messages through another character. Marigold expresses his distain for humans, and Hydrangea expresses his desire to trust and form bonds with them. Marigold claims that he wants to take their body for himself, and Hydrangea wants to be Marigold's friend and brother. Eventually, they do make amends and come to care for one another.
