Shoutout to songtives!

Songtives are introjects whose source is a song. You can learn more about them on Pluralpedia here!

All introjects are vital members of their systems and worthy of respect, autonomy, and agency. Even if your source is a song, you are just as real and important as anyone else in your system!

Shoutout to songtives who split because their system listened to a particular song obsessively!

Shoutout to songtives who split after their system heard their source song only once or twice!

Shoutout to songtives whose source song was made by their system’s favorite band!

Shoutout to songtives whose source song is one that their system doesn’t particularly like!

Regardless of your source, no matter how short or long the song, how many or few lyrics, how loved or hated the song is, you are real, living, and here in the present moment. You deserve to find happiness, joy, and community life, and we hope that you will be able to achieve this!

We wish all songtives reading this the very best in life! We love you, we care about you, and we’re rooting for you!

Shoutout to systems with uncertain origins!

With something as vast and complex as plurality, it makes sense that many systems may not know or understand how they formed. Not everyone has access to healthcare and support, and many systems are left to just figure things out on their own.

Whether your system:

- has a lot of amnesia, so you can’t remember your origins

- doesn’t have a clear idea of how your system formed

- is in denial/struggling to grapple with the reality of your system’s origins

- has some members who know your systems origins and others who don’t

- is questioning, or in the early stages of exploring your plurality

- or anything else!

We want to support, encourage, and uplift you! It’s important to remember that it’s okay to not know your system’s origins. Many systems cannot recall how and why their system formed, but that doesn’t make them any less plural or any less of a system!

You are a vital and welcome part of this community, regardless of your origins. It can take years to understand your system, and some go even longer without pinpointing how exactly their systems formed. This is not a process that should be rushed!

What’s more important is building trust and communication between headmates, and ensuring everyone feels safe and empowered. This also takes time, but we truly believe the safety and well-being of your system matters more than the origin labels you use to describe your experience.

We wish you all the best of luck as you continue to learn more about yourselves. Even if you never learn your system’s origins, you still matter, your system matters, and we’re rooting for you!

Here’s some positivity for small systems!

Multiplicity encompasses systems of all shapes and sizes. As long as you experience (or have experienced) more than one entity sharing a mind and body, you’re welcome to call yourself plural! This post is for all the small systems out there!

🌷 Shoutout to systems who are dyads or triads!

🌱 Shoutout to systems who feel unseen or unwelcome in system spaces due to their small size!

🌻 Shoutout to systems who struggle to relate to and connect with larger systems!

☘️ Shoutout to systems who used to be large, but are now small due to fusion, dormancy, or something else!

🌺 Shoutout to systems who aren’t sure whether their system’s size would be considered small or not!

🍃 Shoutout to systems who have been fakeclaimed or harassed due to their system’s small size!

Even if your system is very small, you’re still a vital and important part of the plural community! Regardless of your system’s size, please know that you will always be welcome in our spaces. Your system is lovely and wonderful just the way it is! There is no minimum number of headmates a system must have in order to be valid.

We care about y’all, we believe in you, and we’re rooting for you! No matter how large or small your system is, you matter, your headmates matter, and you belong in this community!

Unpopular opinion and if this makes me a villian so be it.

You all are really destroying your narrative by going after people playing a VIDEO GAME with harassment and bullying.

Maybe rather than saying and/or insinuating to people that they deserve to be harassed you explain to them as to why they maybe shouldn't purchase/play this game, yet none of you seem to be doing that, can't defeat hate with hate

Pretty sure there were a million posts going around about why the game is shitty, the first one I remember was people freaking out about the ACTUAL SLAVE you can own.

I'll come back and try to be as exhaustive as possible when I have a minute, but if you're still playing the blood libel anti trans video game after that you're beyond hope.

Yeah, hon? It literally doesn’t matter. The second you decide “my preconceived notions about this stranger give me the right to look up their real, actual name, their home address and their place of business”, you are, as you put it, “beyond hope.”

I can’t believe I have to explain this.

if you tell people to off themself over a GAME? thats just an indicator of how terrible you are. why would you ever even think to say that? SO WHAT? its a fucking GAME

You know what we need more of? Beginner’s classes for adults.

It’s supposed to be really, really good for you to keep learning new things as you age. It helps stave off strokes and dementia and Alzheimer’s and improves memory. And hey, learning stuff is fun.

But I really don’t want to be infantilized when I try to learn something. And I definitely don’t learn the way a child does. And honestly, what adult wants to be in the same class as children? Very few.

This occurred to me recently because I’d like to learn how to actually ice skate properly. My parents never signed me up for classes, because it wasn’t a thing they ever cared about or thought about. Now I’m in my twenties and want to learn, and also don’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of eight-year-olds who probably honestly skate better than I do. Because that’s embarrassing, and embarrassment is not how you learn.

Would it be good to lose the social stigma of being worse at something than a child? Yes. Hell yes. But we’ve got to start somewhere, and like I said: adults don’t really learn the way kids do, and a lot of people use these kinds of activities to make friends, and I don’t want to make friends with an eight-year-old, either.

So.

Beginner’s classes for adults. Let adults suck at stuff and learn how to get better and learn new things and broaden their horizons, while still being treated as adults. Classes for writing, for pottery, for chess, for art, for instruments, for singing, for sports, for chemistry. For everything, dammit.

the best part about making someone else’s post viral is not having to deal with the notes.
