notes

being a singlet? in this (political) economy??

wrote a thing earlier (cw: self-harm)

we get really invested in what people online think about plurality at times and try to remember:

• "plurality" describes a wide variety of experiences
• you decide what healing/moving forward looks like
• clinicians provide support, not validation
• we just share portions of our lives online

one of my least important but most strongly-held opinions is that Chicago-style citations are the best by FAR

we had to make a rule about using the system’s name on food orders because twice now i’ve put Zari and Ethan ended up fronting while they called out my name and he didn’t recognize it 🤭

we all respond at least somewhat to “Skylar” since our brain has heard it for a decade now, so it works.

if we had a dollar for every time someone told us "there's no public EV charging near me" and i could FROM MEMORY tell them a charger within a few miles, i'd have a shocking number of dollars at this point!! people just don't notice them!

🖤 going without monitors and peripherals in order to charge my vape using my usb-c dock because i'm too lazy to get up and get a normal charger

thirty nine days, we can make it thirty nine days right? right?? fuck.

made a document that's like "people on the internet have made you doubt your plurality again, here's why your clinicians and you agree that it's the case" to try to spiral a little bit less about the whole thing

we can tell we're getting older because every year we get a teeny bit more "why do they have to redesign everything all the time" where we used to enjoy the change

yes we did install the new Apple betas on all our devices day one, why do you ask (iPadOS 26 is very good though)

each of us is a wound taken by our brain and made into the shape of a person we wish we could've been

being mentally ill is really cool and fun 👍🏼 you will never regret having 5-7 people in your head ☺️

reading journal entries from just a few months ago and it's shocking both how accurate our initial instincts of our system composition were, and how much we've grown and changed and learned to communicate and cooperate in that time

also the tone of "what if we're plural??" is hilarious

Just had an original Hue bulb fail that we bought in like, 2014-2015? Impressive lifespan, given how much we leave our lights on.

sometimes we'd like to sit down with the first psychiatrist we ever met with back when we lived in San Francisco and scream "LOOK AT THIS LIST OF DIAGNOSES!!! LOOK!!"

he said we did not have ADHD and had "no signs of depression" and uh... that's the really boring part of what's going on up here

sort of wild that we had three gender-affirming surgeries without spending a single night in a hospital lol

we have never once managed to get Personal Voice to actually transfer across Apple devices and have to set it up each time and the fact it's not consistent is troublesome to our brain

gender affirming sensory deprivation tank is this anything

our kingdom for an alter that's a mature, well-adjusted, minimally-traumatized adult 🥴
