And not insignificantly, people use Schrodinger's irony to get away with shit online. A lot of stuff is a joke until it isn't, and a lot of the time it's half-true anyway. Your "ha ha just kidding amirite" is another person's plausible deniability.
If you're going to mock by impersonation, you have to do it in a way that isn't just asking that people put up with stuff they're already tired of. It's worth remembering, especially online where you could easily come off as just another obnoxious rando.
Soundcloud Alternatives
Right now, Audius and Metapop seems to be good alternatives to migrate to. Here I am in those platforms:

One reason why plural gatekeeping is flawed as heck.
My plural stuff can be summed up as I have too much ASD to be diagnosed and not enough disorder to have DID. But I clearly have trauma and plural.
In short, this is one of the reasons why ‘you need to have X type of plurality to be valid’ is shitty bc weird edge cases like me are invalidated.
Despite being a traumagenic system I can’t get a DID diagnosis and don’t fit the criteria quite.

As promised: my latest EP, Lies Dying, has just been released! I would like to thank @Fidgetcetera for providing the cover image, and our hard-working politicians for providing the inspiration and samples. https://loosechangeling.bandcamp.com/album/lies-dying
Chronic pain / pain meds / things not to say
If someone mentions their chronic pain, please don’t say ‘have you taken painkillers?’
Because
A. We have. We’re still in pain.
B. We haven’t but can’t rn for some reason.
C. We can’t take painkillers.
Unless you know someone very well and that they appreciate being reminded it’s an option it’s kinda not a good thing to ask.
a bug, not a feature.
