I think it’d be good if people were more aware that another way true crime can be used for copaganda is that “empathy for victims” can absolutely be exploited to institute increasingly authoritarian police measures.
Like when your crime bill is named “[Murder Victim]’s Law” instead of “Removal of Restriction on Police’s Ability to Collect DNA Without A Warrant” or “Life Sentences For Drug Possession” suddenly any criticism is gonna come off as a posthumous attack on the murder victim and their “legacy” rather than the actual components of the law and how they will effect real people.
I literally just saw a post of someone talking about how having specific symptoms made them more a singlet and not a full system, just because alters were silent for a while. That they didn't feel like they're a system because they were the only one fronting.
And like. Wow, who told you this? Who made you think that if alters aren't heard in the headspace, that you're not a system anymore?
You're still a system, you're a system regardless of your alters showing up and switching out.
Alters don't die, but they can go dormant. But dormancy is not alter death, they're just asleep. Splitting and fusing is not death either.
Alters are different states of consciousness. If they don't front it doesn't mean they're gone.
You are a system, you don't stop being a system. Even if you reach final fusion, it's possible that you'll split again. You are not a singlet or a partial singlet. Sometimes, alters just don't front because they don't need to.

I highly disagree, being a Cancerian myself.
The Truth About Venus and Why it Can't be exalted in Cancer
My retake on the Cancer vs Pisces : Who should Venus really be exalted in? post.
I've read almost all the responses under this post talking about how Venus makes more sense exalted in Pisces, and although I still stand by some of my previous claims, I do have to say I may of had a change of heart.
Yall brought up some really good points, it made a lot sense and fit the narrative I didn't see before, which is what Venus actually represents in a person's chart.
A lot of you guys worded it a lot better than I could, but to basically give a summary of what everyone said that I agree with is that while Venus does represent relationships of any kind, money, art, indulgence, ect, Venus is about what we want, not what we need. It's about things that make us happy in the moment and we crave more and more of it because we can never get enough of it and it's not truly fulfilling, it's just things that give us cheap thrills.
In this light, I can see how Venus is a lower octave of Neptune because both are related to addiction, art, indulgence and idolization. Pisces is ruled by Neptune the planet of addictions, what our generation dreams and fantasizes about, what kind of art and symbolism our generation enjoys, and what we're delusional about. It's about what makes our generation happy, but not fulfilled. Venus relates to a singular person at a time in this regard, where as Neptune has to do more with a generation, but both are essentially about the same things.
Venus is about what makes us artificially happy in the sense that Venus is like candy and sweets; Yeah it taste good and we want more, but it's not bringing us much nutritional value or anything, and in big amounts it's harmful to us. Where as the Moon is like a full course dinner, yeah we like it, maybe not to the degree of the candy, but it fills us up, satiates our hunger, and keeps us more fulfilled than the candy.
Cancer, as a sign, strives for that longevity of nourishment and emotional happiness, it will go through unpleasant times, trials and errors until they found the one. They do not love freely and only invest their time and emotions into something they know will pay off for them in the long run. If you just so happened to be the one, they will love you what seems like endlessly and show a devotion like no other, however it is likely if you did not match up to their ideals or check off the boxes for them, they would not love you the way they do, which like someone said in the comments, it's conditioned love, it's love at a cost.
Venus loves freely without attachment to anything, taking and loving freely as it pleases and doesn't want to worry about the longterm consequences, it's all about satiating that urge in the moment. Something Cancer is not about, they are worriers of the future and things will impact them later.
I never really looked at Venus in this light before but it does make sense, and I'm surprised I didn't see it sooner. Either way, these are the main reasons to me now why it isn't exalted in Cancer, and why Venus is not all it seems.
However these are just my thoughts, what do yall think Venus should be exalted in? Is there anything else you think Venus is about? What does Venus and the Moon mean to you? Let me know your thoughts💕

not everything has to be productive. you are allowed to be a little silly and goofy. you are allowed to rest. take some time for yourself today. there is so much more to life than work, and you deserve to experience it. feel the sun on your face, stretch your body, call a friend, have a little fun. your work will not suffer for it & will be there when you’ve had some time.

“if you take medication for that, you’ll be taking medication all your life!!” yeah, and?? bud, i already put on my glasses every morning. it’s like. a condition of mine, not a side hobby i’m pursuing irresponsibly.
Hey, I don't know if you remember me (I'm the one with suicidality), but I just wanted to let you know that it's not worth it. I've lived through it with you, and I just want to tell you one thing: living is worth it.
Please.
before we get carried away with this new unironic love for tumblr maybe we should question why staff never seems to enforce their 'community guidelines' when it comes to terfs/transphobes
