Multi-Media Dump

[lb_lee]

monsterqueers made an essay, 'What To Do When Your Source Upsets You' for fictionkin and fictive folk (mainly outsourced) about engaging with the media that informs your sense of self, how to recognize when it's hurting you, and what you can do about it.

rax made a cool experimental photo comic on plurality and a '90s board game called Tower of the Wizard King!

pluralstories  now has over 100 entries in its catalog! Yay!

Turns out I was wrong about Sandra J. Hocking and company making the first medical multi self-help book; Living With Your Selves was beaten out by 1991's Multiple Personality Gift, by Jacklyn Pia, which apparently did get printed by R & E Publishing, was 60 pages, and seems to have been posted online. Unfortunately, though it's interesting as a historical artifact, I can't really recommend it.

"Interesting as a historical artifact" sure is a way to describe that!

You can really feel how the author was raised in some kind of toxic authoritarian Christian (or Christian-flavored) religious sect, and is now starting to get a grip on some healthy ideas about communication and self-care...but is fitting them all into the same unhealthy dynamics they grew up with, and this weird mess is the result.

It's still progress away from what they were raised with, at least? So we can hope they kept making progress after the book got published?
