CATCH ME AT OTHERCON, NERDSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come see my panel "NO GODS, NO KINGS, NO GREYMUZZLES: Building Alterhuman Community" this Saturday at 12:OOPM EST!!!!

man I am still super glad I coined folcintera back in 2021. when I feel disconnected from other nonhumans and start to wonder if maybe the subcultures are turning in a direction that doesn't offer space for ppl like me, it's nice to have my own label.

I know some folks who already have this tattooed from years ago and they totally love their ink. You should go for it! New tattoos are the best!

Noel is writing her piece for the NSFW zine me and some friends are making for fun and I'm so excited / looking respectfully 👀

Therianthropy Day is on the 5th of November this year! 🍾🎉🏕️ It's always a good time to celebrate being a therian!

🎶you never look better than when you wear your animal skin🎵

yes, different system members can totally have different opinions about other people, friends included

*deir kintype

(Didn't catch autocorrect's fuck up til just now and BSky won't let me edit posts... T_T)

i get to be an alive dog tonight (iykyk) and that is VERY exciting. click clack claws on the floor. cold wet nose. fluffy thumping tail. nice.

Thoughts brought to you by me filing a petition to graduate with my second bachelor's degree before the end of the year. Give it up for a 3.98 GPA that will hopefully net me adequate scholarships for my PhD, wooooo, because my first degree with a 3.5 GPA was *not* gonna fuckin do it

I need to revamp and formally publish my capstone on otherkin one of these days. It's sooooo shoooooort 15 pages is nothing and there's so much more I could expand on now with the anti-alterhuman bill amendments that have been introduced since it was originally written

It started in the 2021 OtherCon, spiraling from a "is cereal soup" discussion in a different server which evolved into Daski going "*Im* a soup" due to their kintype, and then went from there.

but seriously i look forward to seeing y'all at the biggest alterhuman convention. I got an early sneak peek at this year's panel lineup as a panelist myself, and it is fucking PHENOMENAL, I am so excited

The Alterhuman Archive The Alterhuman Archive is an ever-expanding collection of nonhuman and alterhuman-related information, writings, and creations, meant to function as a community resource and memory bank.

Not all otherkin or therians ascribe to spiritual or religious explanations for their nonhumanity! Psychological nonhumans in particular have a long and storied history in the community, with tons of cool writings; you can check some of them out on alterhumanarchive.neocities.org/

the alterhuman community needs to get more feral and more horny imo

in a perfect world I would hawk my wares doing data analysis on or creating alterhuman surveys as a source of my income. but there is no market for that.

the only time we've ever been approached for our data work was once by the FFF, but that contact left the org so the work paused indefinitely.

100% that's something I've been noticing. And since people haven't been unpacking that perspective, it seems like it's lowkey crowding some therians with literal biological or genetic or magical or etc. physical identification and experiences out of their own spaces :/ which sucks to see

Ohh yeah. The misinformational things I see about physical shifters having started the therian community drive me up the walllll. The Were community started in the werewolf fandom on AHWw and it's not invalidating of nonhumanity for ppl to acknowledge that! It's our cool history!

The alterhuman community's moved towards "I am a wolf so this is a wolf's body" = physical therian (or even p-shifter), so that physical identification doesn't mean literal physical identification anymore, it means 'identity which also somehow involves or references the body you live in.'

I understand that physical therianthropy is a metaphor rather than literal for a lot of people, it just feels so strange to see totally bog standard otherkin stuff all classified as unique hardcore physical therian experiences. No hate to those folks of course, have fun playing w/language n stuff!

being in the alterhuman community makes me feel like an old man yelling at a cloud. I don't really like the experiences I've had since I joined being referred to as physical therianthropy 😭 ydy but it feels so weird to see people call phantom bodies & mental shifts the cornerstone of phys-therians

YouTube video by No No The Reality of the FURRIES Act, Wolf (2021), and Therian Conversion Abuse

This is a video I made back when the Texas FURRIES Act was still being voted on. I was too scared to post it at the time, because my activism on this matter and perspectives as a survivor of anti- therian conversion abuse got me harassed off my platform. I wont be silent any more, now.

Maybe there just needs to be a microblogging-specific archive to catalogue historical and important alterhuman posts from bsky, mastodon, X, etc. That's a project for someone other than me to start up, though.

The biggest downside to microblogging platforms is that they're not intuitively archivable, which means the Alterhuman Archive has nothing from them.

We still have plenty to catch up on archiving elsewhere, but sometimes it worries me about what we're missing here.

I wanted to be an entomologist as a kid, and butterflies and taxidermy more generally are important to my identity as an alterhuman and specifically as a psychopomp, so this was a really cool experience.

I learned how to pin insects earlier this year, thanks to a class that was a birthday gift from my partner @houseofchimeras.bsky.social! This was my tutorial project; paper and pin had been left in there while the third butterfly was drying.
