#IntroPost, LONG
so like, we did almost this exact post a while ago but i deleted it to repost with a CW which i wish we'd done from the beginning *lmao*
bodily, we're approaching 30. we're also white, and still discovering all the things that have been done to benefit our ancestors at the cost of so much suffering. we're still discovering all the ways white supremacy is still active and granting us the racial privilege we experience. so much of the oppression we've lived through was designed to replicate and reinforce segregation of society, and every place we've ever lived was on land that was stolen by white colonisers. so, there's a lot we've absorbed from society that we have yet to un-learn, but we invite anyone to point out our fuck-ups whenever we fail to notice ourself, and we thank you for the effort and for the energy that we know it so often takes to do so
we're a dual US-Canadian citizen and committed to fighting oppression in both countries; the trouble is, that's fundamentally exhausting. we've had a depression diagnosis for going on a decade, but suspect we have fibromyalgia (we've also got chronic pain and fatigue). we've never talked to a therapist about being plural, partly cuz it's (relatively) new, but we think if any diagnosis describes us it's OSDD1b. we've heard both of those conditions can be trauma-genic (especially fibro when it shows up at 10 like we suspect it did in this case), and we think chronic stress starting in infancy probably would've been hard on a developing brain, in retrospect, even if there's not any one 'major trauma' we could name until we reached age 9.
gender-ways, we each have our own labels but when we have to name our [system's] gender identity the phrase "non-binary transmasculine woman" feels best: it connects 'what we are' with 'what we were "supposed" to be' via the queerness we practice every day.
each alter feels like a saved copy of my personality from different stages of my life. some of them have continued to grow up with the body, and some less so. we should all probably do our own lil intro post in reply to this one, cuz it would be nice to be able to express each of us no matter who picks up the phone to browse fedi. our little side loves the chick emoji
if you're reading this far, we thank you. remember that you're loved -- we're so glad you're here. take care of yourself, and we hope to see you around the interwebz, friend 💖

Just wanted to talk about the way I do my thing on here so you don't feel like I'm ignoring you if you interacted with me:
So yeah, interactions are welcome, and it's definitely not personal if it takes me a while to get back to you, that's just a thing that I do take care out there everybeing!
hi #masto, life has felt too hard to also be able to do social media things but I'm hopin'a change that
i'm gonna keep my following circle small on this account, mostly mutual follows of other #plural and/or #queer folx, and i'll pin+reply to this toot from my less-active/more-political alt accounts
and with luck this'll stay a small safe cyberspace that i can hang out in more often
and uh, hopefully we'll see you around or something? #NiceToMeetYou
Putting good things out into the world doesn't make a difference to whether or not you get good things in return, but I like to think that the more you help people, the more other people are inspired to do the same in their own ways, which feels like a good way to work towards a culture that can support everyone in the ways they need to be supported
apparently when people complained to the Public Universal Friend about the androgyny of their dressing style, their response was "I am not accountable to mortals". Like Garrisson Davis notes, trans culture hasn't aged a day

Piracy is both the only genuine attempt at digital media preservation and the only check on the power of IP laws, it's not only justified it's necessary
I think this goes without saying, but please, go on camping trips to other places (like say, Chicago or Canada).
But do not post details about your camping trips.
Use a VPN to learn details of your camping trips, especially if you do a staycation.
I 100% support the right to go on camping trips. But do not tell me about them. Do not tell Anyone about your camping trips unless they need to know.
And if you haven't already: Delete any app that tracks periods. It can and WILL be used against you.
Signal is a decent messaging app for secretly talking with friends about where/when/how to do cool crimes. Like posting the address of an abandoned house you want to graffiti.
It has flaws. Nothing is perfect. But it's end to end encrypted and you can set messages to self destruct. Better than planning crimes on here.
Gentle reminder; don't brag about your cool crimes (like doing graffiti) on here. It's not a secure place. That's how people get caught. In general, it's important to learn to be happy being a secret bad ass.
If you need help doing cool crimes, only tell one or two people you'd trust with your life. Make sure they won't tell anyone, even if they get arrested. The Weather Underground and the people who exposed CoIntelPro got away with it because they all kept quiet.
I’ve just created the group @autisticadvocacy as a way for #AllAutistics to share information without having to search for hashtags
If you’re #ActuallyAutistic and talking about Autistic advocacy, just tag in @autisticadvocacy, and anyone who follows the group will see your post

The Satanic Temple cannot help you get an abortion, and it does not deserve your support
That is the conclusion of legal scholars, reproductive rights journalists, abortion access orgs, and former members
a smol pot of beans: non-binary, in civilly-wedded love with another system and trying to figure out how to adult together as traumatised millenials.
we tend to go on hiatus from masto but we like it here so we'll prob be back eventually lol. we try not to follow minors out of an abundance of caution but greetings or follow requests are welcome from all :]
