This is my kind of nature

A B&W poster” “WE WEREN’T BORN AS THEY SAID,” with poetic text about creaturely identity, defiance of naming systems, & embracing transformation. The design is chaotic & natural, with pencil-style animal drawings in each corner: a wolf (top left), a raven (top right), a rabbit (bottom left), & a cat (bottom right). Each is sketched with textured lines

We didn’t begin in the clean white glare of their charts. We arrived—yowling-growling-baying-howling, cawing, snarling—our half-formed, paws still muddy from an older place.  And they named us? No. They trapped us. In idea, in syllables that smelled of linoleum  & sharp metal. They called us boy-girl he-she—as if they could ever know what had birthed in that room. But we're not names. we're poetry & motion. we're shedding. we're becoming again & again, slick with moulting skin & seasons that do not obey clocks. They cannot pin us to the wall like a dead moth & call it truth. We don’t owe our shapes to the ones who tried to bind them. We don’t owe our hearts to a category. We do not remember being born, so why should we carry the weight of that first cage?  Let the forest remember us instead. Let our tracks in the dirt, our fur in the bramble, our voice in the long night be our real record. If we were once mistaken for something we're not—then so be it. we're not sacred because of what we were called. we're sacred because of what we're now. Breathing. Shifting. Choosing. Alive.  
Still reading this?
Dearest creature: Are you eating enough? Are you sleeping with your back pressed to one who knows your scent, your musk? Are you helping your packs find water, safety, moonlight? Do not forget your teeth are not just for defence. They are also for grooming. For play. For love, for cracking open new things. Exploring your world.
Be not defined nor categorised by those who tried to clip your wings or dull your teeth & claws. Define thyself by your every sacred heartbeat & keep going. Even when they wish us dead & gone.

I felt moved last night to make something… a Therian artefact… a poster? Manifesto? Handout? Flyer?

Whatevs. Its done. I’ll stick a few up over town.

An Announcement post with the Fang Wolf to the right, as if he is saying it himself. Below him is the event's website, www.fangevents.com

The Announcement Reads:

Big news!
Fang Events Inc. is officially a non-profit!

While this is exciting, it does mean there will be a few changes to our event going forward. In order to keep things running safely, legally, and smoothly, our team will be working even harder than before!

While we aim to keep Fang affordable and accessible, with additional venue fees... cover charge will be increasing from $10 to $15. We continue to take cash or venmo/ko-fi payments at the door.

We understand this can be frustrating, but this is to accommodate the infrastructure we have in place  for you all to have an amazing time (fursuit lounge, food truck), as well as pay our incredible talent (DJs, dancers, artists, etc)!

It's early morning at the Lake Therio campgrounds, as we can see the dining hall, the lake and the surrounding forest. From the speakers, a voice says "Goooood morning campers!".

Big Foot (a pine marten) says: Today you're all going to build your natural habitats!

Sasquatch (also a pine marten) adds: Keep in mind, you don't HAVE to sleep in them!

The marten brothers are up in a tree, making this speech to the campers who are listening bellow. Amongst the crowd of creatures are May the fox, June the cat, Xavier the other and Jo the crow. 

Big Foot: Every animal has a place to sleep, a place to call home.

Sasquatch: And each kind is unique to each species as well as YOURSELF! So don't be afraid to get creative.

Narrator dialogue (spoken by Big Foot):

Foxes sleep in DENS! Holes are dug into the ground to create 3-10 foot chambers, sometimes with multiple entrances.

(We see may kicking the mud off her paws after digging her den.)

Otters sleep in HOLTS! River otters in particular also dig holes for warmth and shelter on shorelines even caves. Unlike fox dens, HOLTS use logs and branches.

(Xavier is contently collecting sticks as he builds his holt.)

Our corvid (crow) friends sleep in NESTS! Typically using sticks, twigs, weeds or even animal hair, crows build nests over the branches of trees. For bedding, moss, grass and other soft materials are cuped inside the center. 

(Jo is comfy as he relaxes on his nest. Xavier and May are bellow, as Xavier jokes "Who's fur do ya think Jo used?". May replies "Shut UP!" as she laughs)

May wonders around the campgrounds and finds June sleeping behind a dumpster. May asks "June? Where's your habitat?"

June wakes up and responds "*Yawn* it's here! Cats can sleep anywhere y'know."

May: And you're comfy?
June: Yeah, it's great! I'm an ALLEY cat, remember?
May: If you're sure...

May walks off. She makes a big jump and lands next to Jo and Xavier who are playing in the water together. May has an idea!

June wakes up and sees May collecting sticks. Curious, she follows May to see where she's going. She then sees a little habitat resembling a fort, made of various sticks creating a structure. 

May says "SURPRISE! We know cats can sleep anywhere, but -"

June is laying inside of the habitat and purring as she exclaims "It's PERFECT! Thanks, guys ❤️"
