Not to be posting about UK politics again (I promise not to make a habit of it) but for those not following what's going on (can't blame you) we're currently in the middle of a leadership race for the new Prime Minister between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. Both candidates are desperately trying to be the most Thatcher-like, evil person to appeal to Tory members, and the newest move by Sunak is to attack the Equality Act.
And suddenly TERFs are all up in arms being like 'oh no, dont do that! You just need to target trans people, not all of us!' like... what did you fucking expect?!?!?!
You teamed up with the anti-women, anti-LGBT, anti-disabled, islamophobic, antisemitic, white supremacist party, and you're surprised when they roll back everyone's rights?
The same people who put a blanket do-not-resuscitate order on disabled people during the pandemic? The same people who have removed the right to protest after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests? The same people who drown refugees in the Channel? You thought they had your back, just because you helped with their 'divide and conquer' strategy among LGBT people and cis and trans women?
You tried to make a deal with the devil by selling him other people's souls, then were surprised when he came for your soul too.
Get fucked.

DPXDC Prompt #70
Danny and Damian are twins and they are unfortunately forced to fight each other for title of heir at the age of 5. Danny dies after losing and Talia desperately throws him into the lazurus pits. He doesn’t come back out.
5 years later they throw a one Jason Todd into the pit and he also doesn’t come back. But Danny does now 10 years old but he has white hair and glowing green eyes. Oh wait it’s back to normal black hair and blue eyes now. Talia is majorly confused and she grabs both of her sons to take them to live with their Father and gives Damian the order to protect Danny from harm.
Jason wakes up in front of two kids one wearing a red cap and the other was goth as fuck. What the hell happened and how was he here?
I was basically wondering what would happen if Jason and Danny where thrown into the pits and turned on the portal at the same time and what if they swapped places.

i’m so jealous. people who don’t have bpd won’t ever understand how it feels to have your emotions take over, to feel your entire world end, to want to physically crawl out of your own skin bc you’re so angry, or ashamed, or done with being alive. it’s like a hurricane of emotion hitting you & you gotta sit there & act like you’re fine

mental heath stuff (not bad just candid)
dunno if i'll regret sharing this just yet, maybe i should have sat on it a little more until i knew exactly if i should share and how much, but parts of me really insist, and so i guess we're going for it
and i word that way because
months of exhausting processing has led me to conclude that I’m a system, so I’m still in the undertaking of cataloging an awful lot of shit into one rolodex. the kicker is i probably have been one for at least 20 years, but everyone got along so well and so cooperatively, like the most well harmonized combining mecha, that is oblivious to the fact it even is one. nobody even needed nametags in here.
…mostly. warning signs were there, it's just some of the issues that come from this sort of thing that did leak through, were hiding under other conditions that already cause similar complications. if you're familiar with the messier mental illnesses and all the ways they start to functionally melt at the edges and trade symptoms in odd places and our understanding of it all is still so half-formed,
you'll probably get what i mean.
hopefully people following me understand none of this crap works like it tends to get depicted in media
i'm schizophrenic and my mind is a fucking enigma anyway
anyway
then one "new" alter woke up last november in response to an acute straw breaking camel's back moment of abuse at home after enduring way too much for way too long, but the alter is not actually new, is technically one of the oldest, but she's been 'asleep' for like a decade and her point of origin is even older than that
obviously this one was SO different and possessed SUCH a different headspace and set of tastes and desired behaviors, and subsequently threw equilibrium off so badly, all the components of the mecha suddenly realized they were components bc now the situation kind of required acknowledging that fact to proceed to even get starting fixing shit.
its like
"who is this weird one who broke everything"
"no clue, you guys got any ideas?"
"why would we have any ideas you don't, we're all us"
"yeah like what do you even mean by You Guys?"
"i think they're joking, like, because we're all copies of the same person, like the spongebob bit with the fine dining, they're asking themself rhetorically because it's funny……..
…….we are all the same person right. this is a metaphor. like the spongebob bit…… right….."
"why are we not all immediately agreeing"
"because before we could all reflexively say yes we realized we all had different definitions of The Same Person we are"
this is a gross oversimplification of course
this was a lot to process for pretty much all parts of me save one (incidentally, not the new one, the new one isn't shocked, but is a crybaby, so they didn't take Existing (Again) (2. Electric Boogaloo) very well. they do not take the prospect of 'going back to sleep' veryy either, though. so we're having to slightly redesign the mecha)
mostly through the worst of it, but among other problems we're still working to repair, this sleeper code alter caused a catastrophic system failure in the ventilation and even though everyone is mostly calmed down now, they can still smell everyone else's scented candles in their personal quarters, which is annoying when some of them have VERY different tastes in scents)
annoying, but not ruinous.
fixing the AC is low priority compared to other things
like the pneumonic tube that used to let everyone hot potato information and memories from any time they were the one obliviously in the cockpit, we had a pretty damn good one, it was working so well we didn't know why we were even using it, and assumed its regular but manageable failings were just, natural, or because of some other factor affecting the tubes themselves or potato availability, and not considering most people do not have these potato tubes at all
yes i will probably make some kind of comic to conceptualize and visually externalize this i struggle to feel understood without doodles
also, while typing this post, specifically, tumblr did a fucky wucky, and when i realized i'd made an entire other post in the tags, i went to try to copy/paste them into the post but the nature of the fucky wucky prevented this. i'm really not in the mood to retype all that so it's just a screenshot now
