.... thank you op, I definitely won't do this.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

both are good. art of the same character over and over is awesome especially in different scenarios (I have a folder per fandom of fan art I adore so uh), same goes for fan fics and fan fic tropes.

me, incorrect: everyone is probably sick of me drawing this character by now...

my inner voice, wise: ah, but this cannot be... because I am part of "everyone"... and until I am sick of drawing them... it will not be everyone

me, opening a new blank canvas: ur so right

.. I just found out the author was at the New Zealand trauma conference 2024 and I chose not to go because it was "too far to travel"

I would've gone if I noticed that.

Reading the body keeps the score and highlighting every second sentence. 🥴

heyo mate !! js wondering - the book ur reading rn (the body keeps the score) did yall buy it or was it a part of the kindle unlimited thingy?? /gq /nfta tysm if u do answer :3

It's not on Kindle Unlimited, as much as I wish it was! We do own a paper copy (as of ten minutes ago), but the version were reading on Kindle was found as a PDF free online, just dropped it onto our kindle. (Do that safety though, please. Make sure you have an antivirus and scan all your downloads, a lot of torrent sites are a one way street to getting a virus).

Audible has it and it can be purchased with audible credits.

My broke ass can't afford psych textbooks lolll - 🏴‍☠️🦜

happy to flick the PDF version through to anyone via discord/email or a sending a link on Tumblr :) same goes for the PDF version and link to The Haunted Self: Structural Dissociation and the Treatment of Chronic Traumatization (2006) written by the author who coined the Structural Disassociation theory and surrounding termology.

[this applies to anyone, just flick me a message]

gods above, THIS

I'm gonna be so real yall. And hopefully this is my only post on the topic but like. The vitriol i see in syscourse (from both sides, none of you are exempt) is kind of absolutely horrific? Maybe it's because I'm an Adult but I think treating people with compassion should be more important? Like. Okay, i have my own opinions on stuff like endogenic systems that I am not putting here for Obvious Reasons. But also. I think especially in a space that seems to be full of traumatized people on both sides maybe everyone should try to find more constructive ways to interact with one another

The sad thing about being chronically ill, especially as a teen: how many of your own boundaries you have to jump over to gain support.

I had my first invasive pelvic exam done by a gynecologist at the age of 13. Age of consent is 16 here. I wasn't old enough to consent to having sex but I had no choice but to accept the pelvic exam, including a transvaginal ultrasound, if I wanted any kind of further treatment - I didn't want to let a random stranger feel around inside my body but to for them to continue to testing, I had to. They gave me the illusion of free choice, but realistically, I only had one option if I wanted my pain to go away.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I had the exams when I did, and that they meant I got diagnosed with endometriosis in four years rather than the usual seven.. but that's not to say they haven't affected me in the long run.
