I Understand This Completely. I Personally Knew About The Therian Community Well Before I Ever Labeled

I understand this completely. I personally knew about the therian community well before I ever labeled myself as one, but as an outsider, I was always too nervous to call myself one because of a lot of the conflicting information that I would hear. I didn't know if I followed enough of the "rules" to consider myself a therian, even if I'd known I'm an animal for a long time. I call myself a lot of labels, I personally don't mind what others call me.

I'm an animal, I grew up like one. Others treated me as one. The only thing that changed was the empowerment I felt when I started openly referring to myself as one.

it's interesting to me when therians speak of having an "awakening" when it comes to their theriotypes. I don't mean this in a invalidating kind of way, just in a "we have very different experiences and I want to discuss that" kind of way. i never had an "awakening", because i felt like an animal from as early on as i could remember. all my life i knew that i wasn't human. that if given the choice, i would swap my body for an animal one in a single heartbeat. if i had never heard of the word therian, it really wouldn't have mattered, because I WOULD STILL BE AN ANIMAL. when i found the term therian, my hesitance was not at all from "am i an animal or not" because i knew that i was. it was more... me doubting my understanding of the specific term. "is this a spiritual term only? would i be using it incorrectly?"- i was afraid to upset anyone. to step on toes. "am i an animal" was never even a question for me because it was always a YES.

I'm Caroline from Gaza. Am sorry for sending you this request without your permission. My house was destroyed in the war, and my family lost everything. We've been displaced multiple times, but there's no safe place here. I'm battling Type 1 Diabetes and can't afford insulin, and my mother needs treatment for kidney failure outside Gaza. Any donation, no matter how small, can help us survive and get my mother the care she needs. A friend outside Gaza is helping with the donation program. Please reach out if you need more details.

Me when I look at pictures of cryptic messages on old TVs, and suddenly I remember strange staticky laughter and some adrenaline inducing feeling that isn't mine but still familiar. WHO ARE YOU!??? WHO ARE YOU STRANGE TV MAN AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY HEAD!?!??!

Overactive imagination? Weird fake memory??? Idfk

A kid at my job yesterday: are you a boy or a girl? 🤨

Me: idk. You pick.

Him: uh, a boy. Because you have short hair and wear that jacket all the time.

Me: cool.

Happy pride month everyone.

The day I buy a car with no cd player is the day I hang my head and cry.

I'm trying to draw how my dog form looks. The face of the second drawing feels more fitting. I'm not a physical alterhuman, but this is how I can see myself looking, or how I feel like I should look (when I feel more dog at least)
