The day I buy a car with no cd player is the day I hang my head and cry.
I think all computers should have cd slots and all phones should have headphone ports send tumble
I hope my mutuals (and most others honestly) know that when I follow them back, it's basically me saying I think their shoes are cool and that we could sit together at lunch or smth... 👀
You are so free to dm me I will actually be so happy. I will probably be really freaking awkward but also yall are chill I'm just a nervous wreck.
I get this! I've talked about it a few times before on my blog, but I tend to feel more wolf in the colder months, and more raccoon, and coyote in the warmer ones :]
It's so nice when fall comes, and I can feel myself get lost in its crisp air. It's like my wolf is calling itself back home, crashing into me, and letting me remember my love for winter all over again.
I think that alterhumans/nonhumans don't talk too much about seasonal shifts as someone with many kintypes.
for me, weather or a season really affect my experience.
there are types of shifts/or feelings in general I only experience when it's raining, or the ones that only appear when it's snow outside... for example, it's most likely for me to feel more birdy in colder weather, since wearing baggy chlothes/coats make me feel like they're my feathers, and its more likely for me to feel more dragon-y in warm sunlight, where I can feel my scales while sunbathing
in general, when seasons change, so does my experience with everything... sometimes the weather doesn't make me feel like one of my kintypes at all, and sometimes it's the exact opposite
I noticed it recently, in the last 6 months I couldn't really feel my fox side at all, at the point that made me question my identity, i finally figured out that's cause I mostly experience fox-like shifts in autumn-winter!
let me know your experience with seasons/weather!

Rays! I love rays. They're so beautiful. One of my favorites is the cownose ray. I mean, just look at how silly they are. They're very shy and can migrate in schools as many as 10,000 rays!
And then there's giant oceanic manta rays, which can have wingspans up to 29 feet!!!
That's insane!!!!
Any other therian have animals they love but don’t kin? I absolutely adore opossums! I think they’re just the most beautiful adorable creatures. I’m just not one, and that’s quite sad :(
Happy pride month!
Especially a big happy pride month to anyone who is in the closet, recently came out, just realized that theyre lgbtq+, lgbtq+ kids, older lgbtq+ folks, any trans person in the entire world, and trans people who don't want to/can't afford to medically transition.
I love you all very much, and I hope you're all doing well and taking some time to love yourself for who you are.
I love them so muchhhh. My friends always get onto me for how many wolves I have in our worlds 😔
Canine culture is feeling connected to Minecraft dogs/wolves even if you aren’t a wolfkin just because they are just the purest form of dog, companions and protectors
I really like this insight. I think the difference between the ways words sound and what they actually mean gets muddled a lot. I think it's especially interesting when I acknowledge how my nonhumanity in a way granted me my personhood.
I'm not human, I wasn't treated as human for a very long time by my peers, even before I began referring to myself as nonhuman. I felt like I was stripped of my identity, my thoughts, my personhood. Exploring my nonhumanity allowed me to reclaim all of that. It granted me my security and a wonderful community that accepts me. My mind, or personhood, though I do usually just refer to it as my conscious thoughts, is my own again because I embraced my nonhuman identity.
I have a question for other Alterhumans/nonhumans. Do you consider yourself a person? I saw a post saying they think of animals as people and It made me curious.
Be there! For! Your! People!
when i say community
i mean staying with the victims of violence until the emts get there
i mean not letting the cops get them alone even though you just met
i mean carrying around extra pain and allergy meds not just for yourself, but in case anyone else needs them too
i mean giving them to anyone regardless of if you actually like them as a person
i mean password sharing and spreading links to your favorite pirating site
i mean helping that stranger set up a workaround for their broken computer
i mean helping them understand the weird ass language in a job application
i mean helping people understanding medical information when their doctors did a bad job
i mean letting someone sleep on your couch so they don't have to go home
i mean checking if people have rides home
i mean "text me so i know youre safe when you get home"
i mean "have you eaten today"
i mean "have you eaten enough today"
i mean "what do you want, i'm buying tonight"
i mean "hey does anyone have experience with this med, my doctor wants to put me on it but i'm not sure"
i mean "here's a zine on going off of psych meds with minimal risk"
i mean "hey you weren't at the show tonight, are you doing ok?"
i mean "i have a spare room if you ever need it"
i mean "i'm here, i promise i'm here"
There's something really cool yet weird about having friends who really like your stories and characters. Like, for example, my brother has a cute fox plush he lovingly named Reaper after my eldritch horror of a character. And while that's super freaking cool, it's also crazy to think about. Like a tiny private fandom. My stories live in my brain, but sometimes these two random people think about them, and I go a little insane.
Never forget the people who worked to give us the place we have today. Don't stop working towards it. They're still trying to take everything from us. Still. They're trying to kill us. They're trying to brand us as something illegal or dangerous. Never shut up about trans rights, about bipoc rights, never shut up about giving rights to the people who have clawed their way to be here, and who demanded their seat at the table because no one would give it to them.
They're going to keep trying to take our power away from us, to have us forget who we are and our roots. We shouldn't let them. Keep believing in change and love and acceptance for our community and keep fucking working for it. If we don't, we're failing everyone who came before us.
I want a family. I want a family with my wife, and I want kids and a house we can call our own, and I'm ready to fight tooth and nail for that.
Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
