I love you. You are part of the backbone of this community, and I am so grateful that you would be a part of it. You're not seen enough in this community, and I will always fight and advocate for one where you are.

Love yourself today, in whatever way that looks and feels like for you personally. And ideally, love yourself tomorrow and beyond too.

white-presenting alters forgetting the bodies race can be dangerous. we once got approached by cops waiting for our white partner to get off of work. they had their hands on their guns before we even had the chance to talk back. we didnt quite escalate it but we definitely didnt deescalate either. we responded in kind to their rudeness because we werent doing anything wrong. simply walking around an empty parking lot so we didnt fall asleep waiting. if not for our white partner noticing and immediately coming to our rescue all sorts of things could have happened.

There were times when we were followed around stores while already in a paranoid state and if not for safegaurds would have flipped out on those people.

part of our system forming was because the way black bodies are policed. we have alters whos whole role is to safe guard us. to keep track of code switching. to know how to react to police to microagressions to danger.

i once worked at a cafe whos owners had ties to the KKK (LIKE LITERALLY THE KKK) and di not pick up on being financially abused by the place because we needed the money. we couldnt lose the job. so our brain ignored the red flags until i was alone with the owner and bam flood gate of racism and microagressions and names of churchs and friends came flooding back because my brain knew being alone with him was too much too dangerous.

even in my pysch eval there was a segment talking about my systems need to stay functional. because black peole who cannot stay calm who cannot perform get murdered they get hurt.

Small PSA!

I’ve been made aware by an acquaintance of mine (not naming just to be safe, but they’re also currently inactive either way), that there are blogs who are going around targeting and harassing systems of color. They’ve also emphasized that this is especially happening to newer blogs, so if you’re just starting a poc centered blog, or have a blog that you’re open about your ethnicity for, please be careful! Here are the two blogs that they specifically named. BLOCK. DO NOT HARRASS. I’m sharing this so you all can BLOCK them, let’s all stay civil. If you know of any other blogs who are actively harrassing others, let me know!:

Again, please don’t go harassing them. I’ve also heard a fair amount of tales about both of these blogs so just steer clear of them regardless.

On the topic of poc awareness, that same acquaintance has also made a masterlist of black resources! Give it a look over when you get the chance. You can tell they spent a shit ton of time on it, and I forever appreciate them for taking the time to make it <3

I’ll also be putting it in my pinned post so it’ll always be easily accessible.

[PT: hibiscus. end pt.]

[requesting flag id help]

Hibiscus: an alter role exclusive to bodily black systems where an alter's role/etc is related to embracing blackness, fighting internalized racism/colorism, exploring black culture after being disconnected from it, etc.

again, this term is exclusive to bodily black systems. others are encouraged to make similar terms regarding their own bipoc demographics!

send any asks and i or someone will answer, just pls be nice

doesnt that just go against your stance? "plural" was made to encompass all non-disordered systems, & to me it encompasses any and all experience of being more than one like polyminds, but thats just me

point is: if you are anti endo, aka you believe you have to have a CDD or trauma to be a system, but you want to use PLURAL tags AKA the tag thats the exact opposite of what you swear by, dont be so surprised and bitchy about endos interacting
