years ago i was in an online support group that was more like an IFS cult. one by one every new addition would 'discover' their 'system'. i'm sure multiplicity is a useful framework for some, but prescribing it unchecked to people who are already vulnerable seemed, and still seems...not great.
Worth a read. I was once asked to be a demo subject sitting in on a session of a hypnotherapy course for a friend in hypnotherapy training. The session covered using hypnosis for IFS/"Parts Work". It, at the time, seemed to me a wooey unscientific and potentially dangerous method.
Parts work in mainstream publishing. It has been frustrating to see the naive and uncritical adoption of these modalities despite people urging caution for decades now:

I immediately got banned from tumblr back in the day for posting Courbet's L'origine du monde in response to the porn ban. Labeling art as degenerate is anti-intellectual and anti-human - fuck you for capitulating in advance, Capital dick suckers.

one fun fact i love is that bunnies and cats will often be friends because their behaviors for social hierarchies are inverted. if a cat grooms a bunny, the bunny thinks it's getting special attention, while the cat is establishing a dominant/protective role, so they BOTH think they're in charge lol

yesterday i almost argued with some rando on reddit over whether erotica writers have a duty to portray only 'ethical, educational bdsm practices', but to avoid exploding all my internal organs whilst getting nowhere i instead chose peace. i think we should all be very proud of me

after i got out of the habit of constantly apologising as a way to get my daily validation hit it's been grinding my gears in a special way to see others do it. i'd never give someone a hard time for doing it, but it does trigger an unnecessarily harsh "oh, fuck off with that"-type reaction in me.

I did it! I finally converted my popular class, Building Subject Agency, into a standalone written article! And it's nearly 10,000 words long holy crap. This might be my new hypnokink magnum opus.

Saw something on FL about a kink "replicating structural oppression". But the word "replicating" is doing so much here: "superficially resembles" or even "is a cartoonish parody of, with everyone into it", very different
