Old Archives of Plural Experiences

[lb_lee]

Sneak: Nichole's old soulbonder database seems to have been removed from the Wayback Machine. :( It is lost.  But a few other existing collections of plurals describing their experience still exist:

• Vickis' collection of midcontinuum experiences seems to still be pretty much intact.
• Kurai's collection of soulbonder essays also seems to be intact, though it's much smaller than Nichole's.
• The Crisses' directory of system sub-sites, including their own. (Still a live source!)
• Apparently a Redditor copy-pasted some of Nichole SB database in the comments. (Heads up, the first comment is a DID system being mad that soulbonders exist, ignore it.) (Thanks, @aniustaluwis!)

If you have other recommendations, leave them in the comments below!  I'll check them out!  I'm considering maybe trying to start making my own collection for healthymultiplicity.com, with a submittable form.

Oh, and by the way, Akwaeke Emezi has been running a Patreon, and they're shifting it over "to fund Black trans people who don’t have close to the same level of financial security as I do. The income from this platform will be directly redistributed through Pay Black Trans Women, #BlackTransCrowdFund, Black Trans Futures, and The Black Trans Travel Fund." That seems like something people here would like to support!

Eclective's old site, which still exists. Also, we apparently... wrote a thing for it? Which was a slightly polished LJ post from somewhere between 2003 and 2005, I think. (We still hadn't formed the concept of subjectivity fully; that was a few years off. All we knew was that we'd spent a lot of time in communities with people trying to throw each other under the bus and yelling about "the crazy ones, the ones who make us all look bad.")

ETA: Lotte says: I found some more.
These personal sites maybe useful?

Didn't know about the soulbonder essays collection, saving that. Thank you!

I wish we had the money to spare to donate and help out, but we're scraping by right now. Doesn't mean we can't boost that Patreon so those who can donate see it- better than nothing! Saving that link too so we can share it.

After I was successfully able to retrieve a webpage from archive.is (different archive site) because it was excluded from wayback machine, I decided to give it a try to this soulbonding site to see if it would work. It didn't, but after a google search I did find something on reddit.

I'm not sure if this is everything from nichole's soulbonding site because I've never seen the original, but it looks like someone took the trouble to copy at least some of it over to reddit posts.

Ah, thank you! Added to the list! Glad someone zombified that source a bit so it wasn't totally lost.

And thanks for the warning about the first comment.

[talewisefellowship]

yeah its very unnecessary. I'm glad the source is still preserved in some form though.
