A strategy that has worked for me: very quickly browsing all new, just looking at community names. I barely look at the posts, just make a quick decision if it sounds interesting to me. I’ll check the sidebar and decide from there to subscribe or not. I’ve found dozens to follow and a bunch to block lol. It’s cleaning up my feed pretty nicely and my home page has a lot of content now.

That was my initial instinct, to be judgemental. Then I asked myself, how does this impact me? It doesn’t. But if I was rude to them, as you are being, that would impact them. It would not make them give up their identity, it would just add negativity to their day. So let them be who they want to be, it doesn’t impact us in any way to let them exist as they choose.

Alright, cool dudes. As a sufferer of DID, I’m glad you don’t deal with the disorder part.

How did you hack your brain to do this, and why did you intentionally give yourself DID?

If you’d like a general timeline of the world from the beginning of time as we know it to now, I recommend this video.

What field are you in that they’ve never asked for references? I’ve had to provide references for a range of jobs, from warehouse assembly line work to medical research

The first non-fiction book I read for fun is probably still my favorite. I used to hate nonfiction books, but randomly picked up Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident one day. A group of experienced mountain climbers died on a Russian mountain in very mysterious circumstances, leading to all kinds of wild theories from the KGB to the supernatural.

The author essentially becomes a detective, and the book alternates between his experience piecing together the mystery and the journal entries of the group that died. It’s fascinating and was impossible to put down.

It sparked my love of non-fiction and I have since read dozens of others. I left the book a glowing review on goodreads and the author actually liked my review, I fangirled for a bit ngl.
