I am That I am (a furry)

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

it shouldn’t be taboo to admit that there are disabled people who are more or less disabled than you.

i consider myself mid support needs. i am in pain every day of my life, all the time, and am significantly impaired by that. i can’t work full time. i require significant support to get through the day. i need my service dog to function properly. i can’t live alone, at least not right now. i can’t effectively mask my autism.

but i still have privilege over other disabled people. i can walk. i don’t have to worry about wheelchair accessibility when i travel. i have no visible deformities or intellectual disabilities. i am verbal.

some people are more disabled and others are less disabled. it’s okay. it doesn’t mean that you’re not valid or that you don’t deserve help. it just means you do not have the exact same needs as someone else.

Hi! friendly alterhuman reminder

your identity isn't static.

no one's is, neither our nor our human friends, we are forever changing, and this includes your kins. It is okay to gain an identity later in life, it is okay to lose one, this isn't static, this isn't forever. Ans that's okay. That's normal. Thats a part of life, your life.

do not feel guilty for losing connection with your older kins, maybe they were spiritual and you outgrew the age they died and there's no one to follow you anymore?

do not feel like you're faking for gaining connection to a kin later in life, maybe they were psychological and formed due to a recent experience?

do not feel guilty for experiencing any fluidity, not only your kins are fluid, your favorite color, your favorite band or animal, it all forms your identity, and that is forever changing, any and all experiences form you and your kins are not exempt from that! let them shape themselves, let them grow with you, theyre a part of you after all.

Let yourself grow.

demonic possession wouldn’t even affect me, i would just assume it’s The Symptoms

not to be a dirty commie or anything but i don't think any one person should have enough money to solve world hunger and then get to decide not to

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Broad-Handed Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa latipes) makes its homes by digging long tunnels into dead woods?

These solitary bees are found throughout southeast Asia and are among the largest of the world's bees.

These large fellas are excellent pollinators for passionfruit.

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Acorn Weevil (Curculio glandium) uses its fantastic lil snooter to drill into acorns to eat the insides? Once the insides are hollowed out, the female weevil uses her long ovipositor to lay her eggs in the safety of the nut. The acorn heals and closes the top of the holes, protecting the eggs and larvae.

These crafty fellas are freeze avoidant, meaning their internal fluids do not freeze during the winter.

i wanna add to this!

(once i get some sort of page done) any and all of my dni lists are for one of 3 reasons: its either, "hey this is why i blocked you", "you can block me yourself to get it over with faster" or "you can be kind and leave"

personal boundaries arent "you have to do this", its simply more of a "ill leave if you do this."

its basically an information about consequences, not a rule book you have to obey to

"READ MY DNI" no. use your block button like an adult. i'm not scrolling through the many-paragraphs-long pinned posts of every blog i reblog something from. if you insist certain types of people aren't welcome in the notes of your posts then it's your responsibility to curate that. or choose a closed social media platform like facebook or instagram. or go and live in a barn away from humanity if you really don't like sharing the world with people who are different from you

idgaf if my parents are disappointed in me I'm not impressed by them either

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

So when a kid is laying on the floor in a shop screaming u get down to their level n say ohhh noooo darling don't do that pleaaaase that's naughty cmon get up be a good boy or girl. The kids gonna stop n get up lmao. U say if u don't get up right now I'm gonna give ya a whip on the arse..1...2...n I bet they'll get up.

No. You remove your child from the scene (because children are often reacting to overstimulation such as the grocery store is too loud, the room is too bright, there’s people they don’t know around, they’ve been there too long etc) and go somewhere quiet. You then sit with them as they cry, reassuring them that you are present, and once they have stopped crying you offer comfort and ask if they know what it is that they were so upset about. Then you calmly talk to them so they - and you - can understand and fix the problem that was the root of the tantrum.

Bad example;‘Why are you crying?’‘I’m hungry’‘Well we’re going home soon!’

Good example;‘Do you know why you were crying?’‘I’m hungry’ ‘We’re at the grocery store to get food. We only have three more aisles to go. We can count them down together. Then we’ll go home and we can eat.’

Children don’t understand ‘soon’; even for adults, ‘soon’ is a relative term. children understand things like ‘three aisles. Two. One. Now we’re going home!’

Children need communication, understanding and teaching. Not beating, intimidating or belittling.

Get therapy.

“Kill shelters” are the shelters you need to donate to.

“But shrimp!! Kill shelters are evil!!”

No, shut up, listen to me for a second.

“Kill shelter” is a colloquial term used primarily for Town/City (aka municipal) shelters that rely on incredibly limited government grant funding to operate.

These shelters, by the very nature of their existence, DO NOT HAVE the funds to operate like private rescues do.

On top of this, they’re also *legally required* to take in ANY animal that comes to them. Even if they’re full. Or they’ll lose all of their funding.

This is what leads them to needing to euthanize for space. Is euthanizing for space sad? Yes. But due to the current crisis, it’s also NECESSARY.

These shelters are constantly overfull. They’re STRUGGLING. They don’t have the funds to operate properly. And yet these municipal, government funded, struggling shelters are the same ones that are most likely to be providing care for owned animals in the community

Municipal (“kill”) shelters are the ones hosting low cost spay and neuter clinics. They’re the ones discounting vaccination appointments and microchipping. They’re the ones that have pet food banks so struggling pet owners can feed their pets that week.

These shelters are not evil. They’re doing the absolute best they can with the bare minimum funding they get.

These people are incredibly resourceful and care very deeply about the animals in their care. It breaks their heart every time they have to euthanize an animal that couldn’t get adopted.

These underfunded shelters need your money significantly more than that fancy private rescue you see on TikTok or instagram that has a beautiful facility and has never had to euthanize an animal ever.

Support your local shelters and they will give back to the community thousand fold.

Sincerely, an animal welfare student who’s tired of seeing the hardest working professionals shat on because of circumstances they can’t control.

lots of those HRT transition videos boil down to

Before T/E: :[ After T/E: :]

and I think that alone should be enough to make HRT legal for everybody anywhere

picking up litter is worth it!!

individual environmentalism gets a lot of flak in the face of corporate pollution but picking up litter makes a significant, noticeable impact. I spend about an hour a week picking up litter from around my dorm complex and I'm literally outpacing my community's litter production. Just an hour a week from one person is enough to offset nearly 200 people's worth of littering.

it would take less than 100 man-hours of labor per week to keep my whole college campus entirely litter-free. If you got two classrooms' worth of people to spend two hours per week each picking up litter, the whole campus would end up spotless and they'd straight up fucking run out of things to pick up.

If you're looking for some way to make a noticeable and positive impact on the world around you, go pick up some litter.

Slaves who escaped were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.

Jewish people who escaped the Nazis were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.

The law is a horrible judge of morality.

Gentle reminder that they almost definitely planted evidence on Luigi and arrested him to distract from the fact that the real UHC shooter got away with killing a billionaire. One of us successfully killed a billionaire and one of us could successfully do it again

(edit: Thompson was a millionaire but my point still stands billionaires and millionaires who make money through killing thousands gotta go)
