Hey lovelies :PluralPrideRingsSymbol:

What good alternatives exist in English for "someone" when talking about a plural entity?

For example, replacing "someone" in a something like:

"As someone who does this often, ..."

... with...

  • "an entity"?
  • "a being"?
  • "a system"?
  • "someone&"?

Thanks in advance :PluralPrideFlag:

#plural #plurality

Edit: Fixed syntax error.

Edit 2: Suggestions given thus far:

  • "someones"
  • "somepeople"
  • "somesystem"
  • "sometwo" / "somethree" / "some&"
  • "somesome"
  • "somebody"
  • "we personally"
  • "everymany" / "somemany"
  • "entities"
  • "persons"

Hello we recently bought a physical copy of a book we had considered getting for a while specifically because #itchio banned it.

(The book is "All in the Family" by LB Lee, a #plural artist who has put up free stories that have helped us figure ourselves out.)

hi there, i am never very good at these but i want to try to get better at being more of myself on social media. the concept of decentralized social media is really interesting to me, so i wanted to give wafrn a try (specifically), i still don't quite understand everything as this is my introduction to mastodon as a whole. i appreciate any tips or pointers anyone can give so i don't have to worry about irritating my friend who even got me started on this.

:). as for an #introduction :

my name is terabyte, i'm 24, and i use any pronouns (i don't really like they/them much, but if you simply must, i guess go for it).

i am a system of many, more of a liminal space than a person. cryptic and verbose without really meaning to be, and completely incomprehensible on a good day. i have a lot of interests that vary in intensity due to being well. many. for the most part i like: tech (new and old), journaling, animals (bugs and ungulates especially), digital and traditional art, sculpting, beadwork, writing, video games (minecraft, roblox, , webfishing, fear and hunger, old rpg horror games, so many more), my (and my friends) original characters/universe, animanga, and mcyt. there's more but this would be miles long.

i hope to make some friends and try to be consistent with posting, but knowing my brain i'll forget within a few weeks.

Age is weird.
Partly because time is weird.

Because we are plural, and operate on segmented memory as we take discrete turns with this body, we don't really do time the way most people do.

So how old are we really?
Are we the five decades this body exists?
Are we 39, the oldest any of our system members are, given none of us have memory before biological age of 11?
Are each of us different ages, based on time share?
Do we count our age as the time we told the people we live with how we are, and came out to live openly as a system, rather than just masking it?
Are we 4 as we joke, when we took our own legal name and that is intrinsically tied to who we are as a system?

Truth is, linear time to us is an abstract concept, not something to tie souls down.

So we guess the answer is all of those things and none of them, plus a bunch of other measures depending on perspective.

We're a plural system. That means we're multiple people in the same head. And one of the most intense experiences we experience in the context of our plurality are merges. The fusion of two (or more) headmates into someone new.

Some of our merges were easy. Some were hard. Our latest merge was the most challenging yet: Void and Nox. The result being me, Vox.

We experience merges as an incremental process. Most of the time it's something that happens slowly in the background. But then there are these moments where the merging identities clash. In a nutshell it's when there's conflict between them. When I wanna do two things at once that contradict each other.

How does this feel like? It can be a combination of any of the following things:

- headache (mild to splitting)
- dissociation
- split perception (literally, we see double)
- nausea
- mutism
- all the emotions

We haven't posted something in a while. I like to post "useful" stuff, the kind of content where I go "I wish I had this a few months ago".

These days we're not changing in big strides anymore. We're integrating, practicing, implementing. Drawing boundaries and shit. Much of which is highly specific to the relationships at hand.

I want to post and share but I don't feel like writing a thread every single time, which is where it seemingly always ends up. Haven't figured that one out yet.
-Vox (2.0 yeah, yet another merge, maybe I should write about that)

Just thinking about how our neurotype (AuDHD) reflects the non-human¹ animals we identify with the most.

We're autistic plus combined type ADHD, with most of our ADHD stat points invested into inattentiveness, rather than hyperactivity...

... so it makes sense that we're pretty much an eepy cat that has occasional zoomies, with some fox qualities (embodied by a headmate) blended in for good measure.

¹ Specifying that, as SO many people still forget, don't realise, or deny that humans are animals.

Hey
We're #non-binary #queer #poly #plural #trans #otherkin folks who find ourselves in an unemployable situation in an ever more Nazi country. We need financial help to survive and help others in even worse situations than ours. The #Vulpibus is our home, our lab, #rescue vehicle and #hackerspace on wheels. We're building it out but need funds for materials to do it right.

Every day we receive help from #mutualaid is one more day we can keep the dream alive. Our work is open source and for the benefit of everyone. Let's keep it that way!
