Plural and Plural-Positive stuff!

[lb_lee]

Cool stuff by plurals and friends! Weeded 3/12/2022 and links corrected.

• Phineas Frogg's Disability T-shirts: queer, disability, and politics T-shirts.
• Books, essays, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction by Akwaeke Emezi. Their first book Freshwater is about an Igbo metaphysical experience of plurality. Their essay The Mask As The Truest Thing is also worth a read!
• Books and zines by Meg-John Barker. They've made a LOT of stuff, but they have a post putting all their plural stuff together here.
• Space Robot Studio, which includes great things like multi pride jewelry.
• Cuckoo, by Madison Clell: autobio comics about having DID.
• got parts? An Insider's Guide to Managing Life Successfully with DID, by ATW: a DID self-help book by a DID system.  Basic nuts and bolts. ATW died in 2016 of cancer complications, and the website seems to be down, but copies are still around on Amazon.
• When Rabbit Howls and A Creature of Habit, by the Troops for Truddi Chase. A Creature of Habit was published after they died and isn't directly about plurality; When Rabbit Howls is better, in our opinion.
• I’m Eve and A Mind of My Own, by Chris Costner Sizemore.  Ms. Sizemore has also passed on, sadly, and while she's most known for Three Faces of Eve, the books written by her in her own words are more important. Her papers are also a special collection at Duke)
• And of course, we, LB Lee, have a Patreon (for fiction, art, and comics), and ebooks and paper comics.

This is awesome!!! Thanks!

No problem! I hope you find some awesome stuff you really like in there!

So. I dunno if this counts. Because it isn't by a plural. BUT as far as we know, This Alien Shore is actually a pretty decent portrayal of a lot of different neurodivergent states of mind.

Can our Redbubble shop be included?

I'm a little perplexed by "The Sharing." The posters you have up there look like you're recruiting for something, but the header of the tumblr says it's user-generated fiction. But yet there's membership and guidelines?

It's basically an ARG based on the Animorphs series. In-universe, The Sharing is a front organization for an invasion of parasitic aliens. The blog is run from a wholly in-universe perspective (though there have been times when we and the other mod have had to break character when it seemed like people were taking the game too seriously or getting sucked in) and all the merch is kitschy in-universe propaganda.

Gotcha. I admit, I feel really uncomfortable putting it up on the listing, just because... it feels TOO real, you get me? Especially since cults are such a big problem in plural circles, seeing a roleplay that's... basically playing itself as a Yeerk cult, but never once says "this is a fake cult RP"... it just feels a little too close to home, you know what I'm saying?

It feels just too much like Draven selling his propaganda which was... pretty much exactly the same thing, only serious, but honestly, if I didn't know you personally and hadn't seen some jokes in the tumblr, I probably would've assumed it was a real cult.

Understandable. Admittedly, that's one of the reasons we went on hiatus. That and other mod stopped coming online for some reason.

If it helps, we've always been open about our survivor status on the blog, and I'm pretty sure "the person who plays Amanda on the-sharing-official is a cult survivor who uses humor as a coping mechanism" is common knowledge.
