I tried that thing where you're casually open about your identity, without ever actually trying to explain otherkinity, and it fucking worked??
Went out for lunch with a guy I've only met twice, and he asked about my bison pendant. I just said that if I were an animal I'd be a bison, I relate to their resilience and stubbornness, it's kinda like a spiritual thing.
Later in the day, he commented about my not wearing a jacket in December and I jokingly asked if he'd ever seen a bison get cold (and then said something about my ADHD meds making me overheat).
And wouldn't you know it, a while later he himself made a joke about me being a bison, completely unprompted.
Incredible. I don't know what I was afraid of, I should've tried this way sooner!!
what if i started a nonhuman newsletter / mailing list. monthly email containing a bunch of art / writing / potentially zines about nonhuman culture ?
you just send in a submission form with whatever you want to submit, I put it together in an email, and send it out at the end / beginning of the month ?
i have irl experience running events and i've been an editor on a literary journal for 7 years now. so this is very much within my realm of expertise. all i think i'd struggle with is finding people willing to sign up / submit works, email isn't a super popular form of communication these days.
i've been wanting to put my voice out there more and talk about my experiences and i've struggled to find a way to do that. i've also noticed that people are nostalgic for the feelings of old forums and community. and i feel like a newsletter would be an easy way for me to do both.
but at the same time, why would people submit to this when they can just post on their own blog or account? i'm a bit worried about how this would stand out in current internet culture, when everyone is able to have a platform of their own.
it's something i'd love to explore, though.
if anyone has thoughts or ideas or would like to be involved, PLEASE reach out to me. comment, rb, ask, dm, i don't care. I just wanna talk about this and see if it's got any legs to it.
I wish I was just a dumb and spoiled little puppy and had nothing to worry about other than when dinner time is. But instead I'm experiencing The Horrors. Life isn't fair
doesn’t it make you happy to see how dependent on you i am? i depend on you for happiness, to keep me tethered to reality, for the smallest, most basic things. my worth is tied to your image of me. i mean it when i say that i only exist when you’re looking at me.
Guys! I think I might also be a Great Pyrenees! I’m not 100% sure though I just saw some images just now and I really feel close to them. I feel big and soft sometimes and it might be that. I’ll be looking into it more just to be sure and confirm.🐾

I grew up with the innate knowledge that the phrase "be yourself" did not apply to me.
