Never thought I'd feel the urge to make a Kiwi Farms account, but here I am. Been lurking for a while. I've posted some things to snow and guru that I've seen reposted here. Seeing as this seems to be for the central hub for this stuff, I might as well migrate on over like all the other cool kids are doing.
So, a few things I've found that AFAIK haven't been touched on here:
Toi Magazine and EntitleDID to Life
The coming DID con Chloe, Nan, and several other DID influencers are going to be speaking at and have been advertising on their respective channels is sponsered by
Toi Magazine. Formerly the
Boutique of Toi, retailer of hideous third part lingerie marked way, way up. Given their continued shilling of widely panned online "therapy service" Better Help, this seems pretty on-brand for these guys.
Toi has recently started trying the whole mental health advocacy thing in a bid to make money. You can peruse their body of work
here. Second from the bottom is an issue featuring articles from both Chloe and Nan. (Apparently Chloe considers herself an entrepreneur.)
The woman who runs it has, apparently, tried to start up at least one unrelated, Christ-based venture in the past.
Fun, unrelated fact: If you go to
Toi's official Twitter and take a peek at their likes, they seem to be a fan of a Christian spin on the law of attraction and possibly a flat-earther.
They've sent DID influencers packages for giveaways filled with just... some of the worst stuff. My favorite is
this one, (A+ thumbnail promising dissociating on camera.) where Chloe struggles to recommend
And the Angel Rocked Me, a (Totally real and not ghostwritten piece of fiction) memoire by
Casey Jones, esteemed author of such bestsellers as
Kicking Up the Dust: A Bad Boy Billionaire Romance and
Marissa's Erotic Adventure (Part 1)
Anyway, the con sounds real on the level, so if you wanna go
you can buy tickets for $140 (or tickets to watch online for $25) No $320 VIP tickets left, though. Sorry, guys. All sold out.
Tangentially, I love Chloe's PR skills when dealing with folks. Insulting your target audience is the gold standard for mental health advocates.
I've got some more stuff to share, but this took me so much longer than expected. I'll dump the rest later, assuming a wall of unarchived links is acceptable.
