One plural group living an everyday life.

Who are we?

About the Blackbirds

Four and Twenty is a website provided by a multiple group that calls itself the Blackbirds. Having lived plural since 1995, we've gone through a few different styles of organization, with various ups and downs. Despite the belief that plurals are completely dysfunctional, we've also held a steady career and are currently employed in government. It's good work, but it keeps us busy, so web updates tend to be few and far between. We apologize if any information provided is out of date, and do not assert responsibility for any misuse of the information provided.

By having this website up, we hope to help provide more information for any visitors who are looking for examples of healthy, functional plural groups. Our group currently follows a corporate model, which works best for us based around the types of people we have in active daily life. We are constantly updating our internal structure, but have followed a departmental, voluntary-worker system since 2000. At last count, we number over 80 individuals, with a voting populace and no distinct political parties.

Four and Twenty is not a support site. It is not intended to promote False Memory Syndrome, or MPD/DID standards. We use this website to show an example of only one possible organizational system. This website is not meant to be interpreted as the only acceptable way for a group to organize themselves. Every group is different. For some plural groups, our methods are not helpful, and may even be counterproductive. This website is not here to tell anyone how to live. It is only an example for anyone looking for more information.

Thanks for stopping by!
