the #alterhuman communities have always been pretty anglocentric. i've seen calls for coverage on the issue, seemingly unaware that it's already out there, by the people being affected. nonhuman identity is a global phenomenon affected by global politics. it behooves us to be conscious of that.

PSA: the spanish speaking #therian community has been talking about recent events, but you might not be seeing it bc bsky only shows posts in your own language by default. consider changing your language settings and making some new friends and allies. i think we need it at a time like this.

Yea, im most familiar with its application in physics math.

Theta is there for Therion, and Delta is there because its the mathematical symbol for change/difference. Its meant to symbolize the shifting into an animal that once largely characterized the experience. Its been in use since the 90s/00s.

me: oh Silent Hill OST, you always know exactly the right thing to say to make me feel better

Silent Hill OST: [loud and incomprehensible mechanical grinding and static sounds interspersed with eerie music that has a pulse and strange silence with uncanny sounds]

theyve been infodumping about W40K for like 2 hours and i think im in love

Its a version of the holothere symbol, a word for those of us who see ourselves as entirely nonhuman, physically as well as mentally/spiritually/etc.

Therians arent causing damage, we are being harmed.

i have discussed with a couple others at this point that it sometimes feels that in this age, newblood will adopt others actualization and experiences paralleled to their own already-held beliefs and understandings and not puncture how you can actualize yourself *further* through it

and in fact have had it proven to me over and over and over that i cannot trust people who aren't honest about their own capacity for perpetuating the violence we are all constantly subject to all the time.

i think the thing that might make me the most attracted to people is when i can tell someone is aware of their own capacity for harm despite their best intentions.

when someone thinks they have uniquely morally good feelings, like romance or empathy are often considered, i can't trust that.

happy valentines 💙

they had me at "Del tha Funky Homosapien" and i ended up officially losing my mind when Virus had me replaying it and im hooked.

a cutie turned me on to Deltron 3030 and HOT DAMN THAT SHIT SLAPS

YouTube video by Tangle Nathair Tangle Nathair - DTMF Darling (Official Lyric Video)

happy valentine's day! I made a love song for all the otherkin robot/computers out there who still want love, but not between "people"

DTMF Darling is about an old, obsolete robot keysmashing and malfunctioning while it tries to dial the cutie it has a crush on 💚

i am Literally too gay to function rn, ill be Out of Order until further notice

feelings of being real Weres, and it turned out a lot more folks resonated with that idea than anyone expected and that developed through the 90s. It was entirely coincidence that they covered similar niche ontological experiences and became associated with each other as a result.

They originated as completely different groups out of different places. Otherkin typically referred to "fantasy beings" and came out of the Silver Elves in the 70s and then evolved thru Usenet in the 90s. Therianthropy developed on Usenet out of a werewolf fan group after ppl began talking about

Ive actually written two older pieces that make some of the same points you do here in relation to transspecies as an identity so *shakes paws with u* its good when we all keep arriving at parallel ideas from the same conclusions. Ill link the writing later when i have time.

Human flirting: tee hee you're so cuuuuute 💜😊

Therian flirting: *growls* your throat is so biteable right now

at least out loud
i wont say it ~

Or a term to describe the cultural shift happening here where "therian" is a much broader term than in other places or with folks from older forms of the culture

It seems to be both a linguistic shift born of "therian" becoming more known than its full form "therianthrope," and thus folks are less familiar w/ "therianthropy." From there, i notice a cultural difference emerging on Bsky where "therianism" may become a useful delineating term for that ?

no chance, no way
its too cliche
i wont say it

"gimme a therian girlfriend"
"therian girlfriend."
"and hold the biting"
"hold the biting???"
"and hold the animal noises"
"hold the animal noises- hey jimmy! get me a therian girlfriend with nothin!"

"...nothin????"
