Re: YOU ARE RIGHT (edit: oh god this comment is so long I am so sorry)

I have a few sources that are just... ordinary people discussing their experiences and lives in plainspoken language, and they are the BEST. I love those, and I wish fewer people tried to sound like a bargain-bin academic and focused instead on clarity.

Omg yes! We recently had to read legalese (we have some exposure to it but obviously aren't anywhere close to fluent) and it was a nightmare to understand and then explain to our fiancé who didn't have any exposure to it. It feels like jargon in some fields (not all, thankfully) is some kind of elitist test.

Yeah, who'd want that target on their back? Especially when the game is so rigged against you?

Exactly. We never see white systems on that social media platform publicly call out the racism though. Plus reporting is plain useless. One of the reasons we left Reddit too because a Vietnamese person with CPTSD mentioned their distaste for The Body Keeps the Score, and you& can predict what happened.

However we heard recently from someone that Entropy System lost a large following after their racist comments in that 2018 YouTube video.

IT IS. TT It's so tragic, how quickly things get forgotten! I hoard multi files like a dragon, because I don't want them to be lost!_

We're quite new to this for e-books, and we're really glad that we keep a backup on an old external hard disk, and 1 copy each on 2 cloud storage sites. Haven't figured out a good way to organise them though. It would be nice if we could tag a file with multiple keywords.

Oh yeah, we did a plural history vid for them once. Haven't spent much time on their website or anything, since we're bad at watching videos and are way more of an artist, writer, and linkdumper than an activist. We're bad at watching videos and listening to voice messages, and vastly prefer text. We don't consider ourselves activists either.

A professional with lived experience wrote this 2022 paper titled: The Online Community: DID and Plurality.

It's missing a lot of online plural history, if we read it right.
