☆ normalise alterhumans that don’t fit the “therian” stereotype

☆ normalise alterhumans that don’t experience shifts

☆ normalise alterhumans that have common kintypes; or kintypes that are considered unusual

☆ normalise alterhumans that don’t wear “gear”

☆ normalise alterhumans that awakened later in life

☆ normalise alterhumans that keep their identity a secret

☆ normalise alterhumans that don’t yet know their kintype; or have mistaken kintypes

alterhumanity is a personal identity. it is a unique, individual experience for everyone.

our community is so important; your alterhuman identity is valid. ‹𝟹

Turning this switch off is the best thing I've ever done and maybe some of you should try it.

actually yeah this fucks

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

It makes me sad to see how common the hate for zoos is in leftist circles. To me, zoos are so symbolic of the determination and optimism in leftist thought that I often use these facilities as an example to keep me going. So when I hear fellow leftists wanting to abolish zoos it makes breaks my spirit a bit. Especially considering how necessary zoos are in the fight against the current environmental crisis.

I am the first to admit that no zoo is perfect. I have worked at a world class, accredited, non-profit zoo and it was FAR from perfect. The institution treated me and the other workers like shit. Burnout, lean staffing, and poor adherence to safety protocols resulted in poorer animal welfare outcomes for the animals. And this is a world class facility. There are many facilities out there that shouldn't exist at all that are hardly better than the menageries of feudal kings.

BUT

Zoos are vital if we want our ecosystems to survive the current mass extinction event.

No other type of institution on earth has saved as many species as zoos. From tiny snails to 1-ton bison, entire species have been returned to the wild thanks to their preservation in zoos.

There are approximately 40 animal species listed as Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN, most of which ONLY exist in zoos and aquariums. Many of these animals are only able to be taken care of because of the decades of animal husbandry science and institutional knowledge built up by our zoos and aquaria by working with other species.

There are many extinctions I cry for, but the ones that hurt the most are the ones happening in front of our eyes. The Javan rhino is all but gone. It's estimated that there would need to be about 100 rhinos for the species to survive genetically intact. There are now less than that, and none in human care. All it would take is a single tsunami or volcanic eruption and the entire population could be wiped out.

But if there were some in human care, if we had acted sooner and established a breeding population based on the centuries of knowledge we have of caring for their closest relative, the Indian rhino, we could have saved them.

So, when I see leftists talking about how all zoos are inherently destructive, I ask you to think ahead. To when polar bears, chimpanzees, or elephants go extinct in their natural homes, don't you want a place where we can save them? Where experienced animal care professionals can foster a population in human care so that one day these creatures can return to their homes? A global system of world class facilities dedicated to the survival of wildlife? So even more creatures don't end up like the Javan rhino; a species we could've saved if we'd had the will and the space to do so? If there had more zoos instead of less?

I'm not asking you to love zoos, I'm just asking that you recognize the practical necessity of their existence in the modern age. We won't survive the coming crises without other species. And they won't survive without us.

Thought this was about Zoophiles for a second and was like "Whats the fuck were they talking about?"

they are talking about ZOOs, the fucking location? yea, actual real zoos.

Oh, wyrm?

was watching depressed doorbell commits suicide for the 100000x time and... youtube removed the swearing from the subtitles??? like holy fuck i thought we'd already had this conversation???? don't fucking do that???? deaf people have as much of a right to be exposed to cuss words as hearing people???? in fact they DESERVE the right to cuss more than a lot of hearing people do actually??? because they have to put up with bullshit like this?? LIKE WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS OMG-

this one is a weirder post but it bothers me how in the push to destigmatize kink over the last fiftyish years we only really somewhat achieved that with one specific brand of it, so now "mainstream" kink is this weird entity that does stuff like feature weird amounts of red and black, has a bunch of exposed metal and leather, favors strict punishment doms and subs with extensive sets of rules, leans strangely cishet, and doesn't leave space for ace people or disabled people

and if you like those things, that is fine. i'm not trying to yuck your yums

but i'd like to see some love for kink that isn't that. show me more of:

-ace people who just do bondage for fun or to cuddle in

-bondage and reward/punishment tailored for the needs of disabled people

-actually just more kinky stuff involving disabled people in general! we have sex too!

-more comfortable, warm colored, ergonomic spaces in dungeons

-sex pairs/groups who don't have strict rules and just do whatever they (consensually ofc) are feeling like in the moment

-nonsexual kink as a rule, not just for ace people

Because kink is for everyone (who enjoys it) and there's no one way to do it!

this isn’t just gonna live in the tags! when i talk about how kink (non-queer) is so separate from kink (queer) and how the former feels uncomfortable while the latter is wonderful, i think a solid part of those feelings are the non-queer people who use kink as a mechanism to excuse abusive behavior, and part of creating a safe space for everyone is kicking those people the fuck out! they are NOT welcome and we should be making that clearer!
