Just asking people to really think about what may or may not have been a traumatizing moment in their lives and not something to joke about without clearing it with other people first

"just reach out to your friends :)" our friends are kind of the reason we're here in the first place.

We're just convinced people will give up because there's so many of us that it's pointless to try and easier to treat us all like the same person.

A very common sentiment when someone comes into front who's on our 'hasn't fronted in more than two years' list is 'wow I wish I could front more'.

I imagine what's going to happen is that there will be a relatively small pool of fronters that changes gradually over time with everyone else being too far away to reach. It's definitely going to make us panic.

Our body has been tending towards the familiar lately and so it's been pulling a lot of older members instead of new ones. And this might be a changing dynamic as our numbers increase closer to 400, but it does feel bad and neglectful.

Me? Incarnation of a nation currently undergoing a battle for its soul? Nah man. I'm just the hamburger guy 😎

I'm mad enough that I get bleed over from other people u shouldn't have to deal with this shit

Also just being mentally unwell and not feeling like we have an adequate support system is. Not doing us any favors.

Feels like we are really close to the fire but nobody with privilege understands the depth to which we are afraid.

We're extremely anti-AI and one person we consider a friend has been...vaguely weird about it (mostly in assigning it a self or an agency when it is genuinely just a glorified spell check) and other stuff. Plus it's been hard being trans while existing rn.

I just. Like I barely even want to do art anymore, this shit is so discouraging. I'm so exhausted.

I am so tired of begging my friends to give me money. I am so fucking tired of being a nobody who's never going to have a fucking chance at doing anything and is just going to keep suffering until I can't bear it anymore. How much harder do I need to try? How many more pieces do I need to make?

I've been getting pulled to front so many times the last few weeks, it's been obnoxious.

Like maybe Aglaea also deserves to go to therapy and told she can rest and relax and doesn't need to constantly carry a heavy burden all the time like she's used to. Yes she's helping but that doesn't make her a spirit guide for Artemis; she's dealing with her own complex past and feelings.

...is flattening Aglaea, why she is motivated and behaving the way she is, etc. it's not just for Artemis's benefit, it's for everyone. We're a community. When it comes to life stress we can only operate as a community.

Even if our therapist is supposed to be primarily therapizing our host we're realizing that ignoring everyone else isn't working. But we aren't magical advice fairies with no feelings of our own either, and I think just saying 'oh Aglaea has really stepped up with helping'...

Also I think we need to start talking about our plurality more in session. Like yeah we can talk about the anxiety over losing our job but thats not the end of the story. You've also got people who are wildly motivated to find another, people who are scared, or people who are indifferent
