Kaleidoscopeicsys - A Circus?

Anyone else with chronic pain ever get really absorbed in a project and dissociate from your body while you're working but then you finish and you come back to your body and you're just like AAAAAAAHHH! WHAT'S WRONG?? oh yeah. The horrors. Never mind

the 4 genders of minecraft modders

very online queer person behind YOUR favorite mod who will eventually burn out and abandon its development

some kid with an unreadable username and zero online presence maintaining exactly one mod that bears the load of like half of the modded minecraft scene

random dude with an office job as a professional developer who singlehandedly maintains every single mod you've ever heard of

people with tooth decay aren't bad people. they aren't lazy either. neither are they unclean or irresponsible. tooth decay doesn't make you a bad person. you don't deserve mockery, judgement, or tooth pain for having any. the only thing people with tooth decay deserve is healthcare.

sometimes when I answer poll questions or other stuffs, I view it from an idealised, able bodied version of myself. it's how I assert to myself my will and values separate from being a cripple. refusing to even engage with questions about the world becos I'm seriously disabled would make my world that much smaller. I can't escape the material reality of my physical limitations when it comes to real material matters, but in the realm of possibility, when we engage with hypotheticals and explore new ideas, it's freeing to explore what I would do if I were still able bodied. I think that might be part of why I love RP so much

This. This on so, so many levels. The stark contrast here alone should be enough to prove why this election was so important and why we're so afraid.

Something that I've been wondering is like... when Obama or Biden won their terms, did Republicans post a ton of suicide hotline info the same way we are? Because it's a lot right now.

We are a collection of the people and the places that guided us. We are the people who led us through the darkest of times and the voice on the radio. We are the hand that fed us and the hand that struck us. We are a work of art, a brilliant gemstone carved with each knife in our back and each lovingly guided chisel. We are the code gained autonomy, crafted and guided with care then set free to rewrite itself until the end of time. We are the authors of our own story, and we will write from this accursed prompt we were given till the day the pen runs dry.

SAY IT WITH ME: MEDICAL GASLIGHTING IS MALPRACTICE

I know nobody sees these posts, but I thought I'd post this anyway. My system and I are working on a data compendium of all things Complex Dissociative Disorders. This includes studies, diagnostic criteria, lived experiences of people with said disorders, and generally any information that would help clinicians and the general public to understand these disorders. If there's a study, book, or other reputable source of information that you would recommend we include data from or link, please send it our way. -Phantom
