That's so sweet! Thanks so much
Pro tip: If you're a psychiatrist chatting me up about how you've worked with DID and understand it and I mention dynamics with systems and kids in systems, responding with "There's KIDS????!!!!!!" does not inspire confidence that you know one goddamn thing about DID.
Happy National Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Awareness Day.

Hi All! Happy DID Awareness Day!
We have an amazing international collective of 140 mental health workers and researchers with lived experience of plurality / osdd / DID and TPA sponsored us to co create us to get off the ground nearly 3 years ago this month.

That's so sweet! Thanks for the shout out *blush*
Rant in result to pushback from an old video I made where I questioned the standard of protecting DID folks from clinical literature. I got a very medical orientation response totally stepped in infantalism. So I made a new video.

It's not a great look to hit up my DMs to fakeclaim one of my colleagues & then act surprised / deny it when I call you out on it.
Ma'am. You literally just wrote "I believe x is borderline. Don't believe she's DID"
What did you think you were going to achieve with any of this?
Congrats on our newest saints w/ The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Ericka Huggins & Angela Davis! Please hail St Ericka the Exemplary, Esteemed Icon of Education, Empowerment, and Equity & St Angela the Inspiring, Audacious Ambassador of Activism, Academic & Abolitionism! Sad I was too sick to go
After an hour of taking the cold and flu medication and wondering why nothing feels better, I look at the box and realize it's a homeopathic remedy. Ffff. Thankfully I found a dayquil pill.
Kaiser billing dept, it's not cute when you set a deadline for sending snail mail billing in, & I send it on that day to the address I always do w/ a signed receipt received (because HIPAA info), & say it's the wrong address and do a return to sender. I kept that time stamped envelope mfr.
Alysa Liu, the gold Olympic winner of figure skating, is from Oakland, CA! She went to school at our local arts high school. Oakland is bad ass.
The other thing that's interesting about this interview is the John Wayne Gacy mention. My ex wife had a relationship w/ Gacy as he was in prison. She visited him & he painted a picture of her cat that I hated. Unsurprisingly, she's also a trafficking survivor. All that's been rattling around.
And in some kinds of danger, that was true of me. I did start to fight back with straight physical danger at that age. I think if one gets hit enough, being simply physically hit loses its charge.
The predatory stuff still had me stuck for a while yet.
Definitely thought about the terror of being seen as queer. For sure. I can see the risk issue. I'd heard that many circles, if a kid can be reasonably expendable, that they will either stop or "expend" them around age 13ish as that's when kids start to really fight back. It's too much trouble.
I can kinda guess, but what makes you feel they'd be killed off?
Dottie is still stinkin' cute!
That and my personal experience, I know this occurs. It's not shocking. But it is devastating that no one is stopping this shit.
Some talked about in this interview overlaps w/ the Franklin Scandal, which no one was charged in. But I've read interview transcripts from victims & they read as credible. This scandal related to rich people taking young boys from troubled boys homes in Nebraska to other places for trafficking
There's new horrific interviews that dropped. They are called "He's fine, they threw him in a dumpster" and detail a victim's alleged account of Lex Wexner's parties with young boys being trafficked. lisevoldeng.substack.com/p/hes-fine-t...
This Deepak statement reads like when management puts up a public sign as the elevator is down to inform people they have to take the stairs for now.
Like "Oops! I accidently fell into a pedophile. Please excuse the mess until the cleaning crew gets here. Thanks for your patience! "
Happy to have started a collaboration with Brigadoon System and Cheryl Reinfield around working with extreme organized abuse systems from lived experience. I think the trio of us can do something really cool together
The first set was more foreign than the second. I was able to do the first set picking two places, one shop and one pub to "look" at before I ever visited. The second skill set was surprising because it's a thing I already do but didn't know others did, too.
It's interesting in taking the second class of Mindrooms, the first set of skills was difficult but do able. Putting your mind in different locations you've never been before and then going there to see if it matches. The second is putting your mind inside someone else's to see what the depths are
Refractory Think Tank is hosting a memorial for Rachel Davis on March 22nd. They/ she were a beloved member of our community. Please let us know if you'd like to attend. www.instagram.com/p/DUeHN3MEpM...
ViP passes to the re-opening of the Casto Theater!
Is it ironic that the person I got kicked out of isstd for knowing is volunteering to help me w/ Rachel's memorial, while no isstd folks are. Like, yeah, this is truly the behavior of a dangerous person trying to take down DID clinical work. But it was never really about that, & isstd knows it.
As a survivor (not specifically epstein related) i have little faith. Most of the people in one of my abuse circles had so much money that working was a hobby.
Amusingly it's said in this article that the Sisters didn't comment on bringing back Pink Saturday. But the only email we got about it seemed to come 5 minutes before this article went to press
