STRUGGLING TO AFFORD TO LIVE SEPERATE FROM ABUSIVE RELATIVES + UPDATE FROM PREVIOUS POST REGARDING RISK OF HOMELESSNESS, PLEASE READ!
Hello every creature, I hope this post crosses you while you're doing well. Many of you who are familiar with me may remember a post I made some time ago around January of this year regarding my living situation.
I come back with updates on my situation, most of which is not great news. Before I continue, I'd like to thank you all for the support on my original post, while it has since been deleted (reason being because I wanted a fresh post with all the information you guys need instead of searching my page for it), it showed me how much my community here cares for eachother. You all have my heart, and I am grateful for your contribution. Every repost and message was motivation for me to keep pushing for a better life.
That being said, lets get into the nitty gritty details.
The Situation
After being homeless for about 3 weeks due to an extreme altercation with my mother and her husband, I eventually had to cave and return to living with them. I am a type 1 diabetic, I needed access and storage for my medications to survive as well as food to prevent low blood sugars. As much as it kills me to be here, I have no other option. Shelters are full and its extremely difficult to find housing I can currently afford. I've been searching for work everywhere, I've applied to over 100 jobs with only 5 interviews coming of it. Ive decided that once my drivers license comes in sometime this month I'll need to work instacart to make what little money I can.
(MORE IN-DEPTH INFORMATION ABOUT THIS IS AVAILABLE ON MY GOFUNDME PAGE, I AM ALSO MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS!)
The Plan and Our Obstacles
Me, my mate, and 4 close friends are all saving and working toward moving in and renting together. We are (mostly) all coming from situations that are abusive or stressful, we are all between 18-20, we are just barley managing to hold ourselves togther on our own.
Only 2 out of the 6 of us currently have a stable job and income, the rest of us are still desperately trying to get there. With concerns of not only income for our housing but also medications and medical treatments, College, food, water, our pets, and other costs, we're all under stress and pushing ourselves beyond what anyone should need to.
We live in Southern California, so nothing is ever really cheap or even affordable here. This is exactly why we need to live togther to be able to support eachother because we all know that even if we wanted to, living separately right now would be completely impossible.
We are also in a time crunch, 2 of us were told that they'd need to be out of their current room rental within the next three months due to their relatives wanting to tear it down and expand their living room (crazy reason, I know).
What You Can do to Help
I previously posted about my Depop in which I was trying to sell some of my older masks and other items, this is still available and one way you can help us reach our goal sooner.
You can find my depop shop here.
I have also set up a gofundme, here you can make a donation to help fund our efforts to get out of this shitty situation together.
You can find our gofundme here.
Every donation counts, do not feel bad if you can't donate more than a dollar or if you can't donate at all, reposting this and sharing our gofundme makes a big difference too!
If any of you have any questions or comments, I encourage you to communicate them to me either here or in my dms, I'm happy to answer them.
I appreciate all of your support, from the bottom of my canid heart. Every repost, share, comment, purchase, or donation helps. Thank you all 💚
I struggle to fully relate to most other canine, or even wolf therians on here. I'm not just a "silly puppy" who wants treats, pets, and a handler. I'm also not a "scary beast" who should be feared or otherwise approached with caution.
On one hand, I'm a wild animal, but I was raised in domesticity and have grown fond of plenty aspects of it. I can't say that I relish the idea of not having a home and a warm bed, or of not having warm food and a loving family and group of friends.
On the other hand, I was raised among humans, but that doesn't make me one of them, nor does it mean that I don't have any animalistic urges or a prey drive. It definitely doesn't mean I'll let you get away with hurting me or someone I care about, either.
I feel like a feral animal that has grown accustomed to "domestic" life, but will never fully lose their old traits and habits, I suppose. I don't bite when merely approached, but I do when I'm provoked. Those close to me have no need to fear me, but those who haven't earned my trust need to watch themselves around me. I'm pleasant enough to be around most of the time, but there are times when I scare even the people closest to me.
I'm not a harmless little puppy, but I'm also not a crazed killing machine. I'm very intelligent and at times scary, but I'm also kind and deeply loving.
gonna go ahead and say the quiet part out loud but
if you assign human morals to nonhuman/theriform animals and genuinely hate said animals for failing to follow those moral systems- i would rather you not be on my blog.
something i notice is folks REALLY go after dolphins and penguins with this stuff and not really any other animal? even though like, hamsters/mice eat their babies when they get stressed. zebras/lions/LOTS of animals kill the young of rivals to mate with the mom. AWDs are known for eating their prey alive. etc.
if you want to apply human morals to nonhuman animals, then apply it to ALL animals. the picking and choosing just shows youre falling for sensationalism. if you actually stick to your guns, you arent gonna like any nonhuman animal, because none of them give a shit about human morals.
It's very obvious that people don't understand survival. Like nonhuman animals have to focus on their own survival all the time which includes breaking those moral taboos.
Also, as a side point, species are not a monolith. Members of a species can be veeeeery different from one another in personality, likes, and social behaviors. That's why some dogs are more violent than others. Just like humans (a type of animal), members of a species do NOT all think the same. And yes, animals think. If you still believe they don't feel emotion or think at all... I don't even know what to say to you.
Like we have to always remember that a person with health anxiety can get ill, a person with paranoia and psychosis can be in serious danger, a person with social anxiety can get bullied, a person with RSD can get rejected, a person with BPD can get abandoned, a person with depression can have a serious reason to be upset and so on indefinitely. We cannot automatically treat every concern of a person who has been labeled as mentally ill and irrational as if it isn't worth taking seriously and investigating. Making that assumption puts people in real danger.
I do experience species dysphoria, but not in a "I wish I was a real animal" way. Its more like a sudden hyperaware moment of "I'm not supposed to understand human language and conepts or idea, I shouldn't know these things the way I do. Because of their perception of what I am, they know me as human. I am not human, I am entirely a canine, but you don't see that. I am trapped inbetween my exsistence and their view. How miserable."
specifically intend this post for communities of physical nonhumans ,
particularly of non-metaphorical frameworks , as communities hit with frustrations time and again . nice to try and lighten things up !
human societies and social perceptions as human can be pretty hard . still , sometimes come across things that bring happiness and laughter - things that might not have access to , or ever learn about , if not among humans .
have any favourites to talk about ? or , try this poll :
read above first !
electronics and technology
areas of study and research
different foods and culinary experiments
better access to different ecosystems
human languages and cultures , in general
ability to befriend and interact with humans directly
As a dog, humans and humanity will always be something I identify with but not as. I care about humans a lot, just as much as I do my own kin. I often think the reason I have been put into this situation is partially of my own will, like I've known the kindness and beauty that humans are capable of beyond this lifetime.
I think all of these things are aspects of humans that I am fond of, but being able to befriend them and connect on another level is my favorite part of my circumstances. Being able to express to my humans how much I appreciate everything they do in a way they understand is amazing. Even more amazing, I am given a longer lifespan than my kin, so I have more time with my humans; what could be better than that?
As cliche as it sounds, I am truthfully mans best friend, and I love it.
Please don't chase wild animals, not even for therian or kin reasons. Especially not native animals, who often are already facing conditions that are causing species decline. You might not think it's that big of a deal, but each species is made up of individuals, and individuals need that energy you're taking to survive. Taking off to fly and running are NOT leisurely activities, especially not since these animals know that if they falter they could die. Stress can even be enough to kill small animals, too. You also DO NOT KNOW if that animal is protecting babies or otherwise has babies around - there are plenty of stories of small animals being stranded away from their young because some dog chased the mother away. It's actually illegal in some areas to even let THERIFORM dogs chase wildlife for these reasons (and because many dogs will kill them if they catch them).
You can rest and have the luxury of not being predated upon while resting. They do not have that luxury. Be kind to your local wildlife!
A list of dog/animal related phrases I've collected and use daily
Howl yeah- hell yeah
Fluff yeah- fuck yeah
Wash your paws- wash your hands
Two paws- use both hands
Everypuppy- everybody
When I was a pup- when I was a kid
Went white eye/going white eye- scared/stressed ("I saw how nervous you were in that haunted house, you went totally white eyed!")
Pointing- stating the obvious/clearly indicating something ("I was literally pointing, I don't know how she didn't see the exit.")
Doing sleepy spins- getting comfortable in bed and ready to sleep
Getting up on two paws- Doing something silly or having to go the extra mile, sometimes as a way to persuade someone to do something ("I really had to get up on two paws to convince my brother to come with me!")
hey i wanted to politely let you know your post about not eating chocolate isn’t really cool towards others who struggle with ED. centering shame and body weight around foods even sugary ones like chocolate is spreading misinformation and shame around food items that don’t make you “out of shape”. it was pretty triggering for my ED and i’ve had to work with professionals for years to unlearn things like what you said in the post. i would try to keep that in mind
Trigger Warning - ED, mental illness, self-injury
I'll try to keep this short.
⬇️
Hey, so I received this in my Asks after my post about not eating chocolate because I'm a dog. I don't want to turn this into a TED talk, so I'll do my best to keep this short.
I feel for whoever sent this in my ask box, but I am not responsible for what does and does not trigger you. Nowhere in my two sentence post was I trying to make it seem like chocolate is a bad food that causes weight gain or being unfit. I would have understood if I had posted something really awful, but I didn't.
When I post things that will be triggering for a lot of individuals, I put a warning. I can not cater to every individuals specific triggers. The post was not meant to be taken seriously. It was a joke related to my nonhumanity. I'm very sorry that you have been battling your own mental illness, but there are unfortunately a lot of less obvious triggers everywhere.
I've been dealing with a self injury addiction for 7 years and only recently decided to take recovery seriously. Triggers are everywhere in forms that nobody else would pick up on. Broken glass, spilled red food coloring, small unpurchased box cutters inside stores, you get the idea. These things are not directly related to my self injury addiction, but they still trigger me (especially) when I'm beginning to "spiral." However, no one is responsible for my triggers. I am going to encounter these things many, many times throughout my life. Realistically, there is no way for me to avoid these things.
If you've worked with a therapist, they've probably already told you before that if you are to recover, you need to be able to cope in healthy ways when faced with these seemingly unnoticeable triggers. You can't avoid running into these triggers, but you can adapt and learn to work through it without a relapse or huge emotional/mental disturbance.
I'm not trying to be inconsiderate, but if you (or anyone else) are getting this upset over a post that wasn't even focused on EDs or weight loss, maybe you should be talking to your therapist about it. Again, I'm sorry that you have struggled with mental illness, but I am not responsible for others' specific triggers. Thank you.
i'm very particular about what my tail looks like; i've been searching for months for a tail that looks like mine but i cannot find one. if you know of anyone who makes high quality tails, or selling a tail that looks like this, please let me know! it is very important to me that the black tip is a subtle gradient and not an obvious tip. this is the biggest issue i have finding a tail.
Hello, I saw in the comments that someone already mentioned coyote tails. I own a tail from this etsy seller that I purchased around 9 months ago. It was the largest length option offered and does not come with a keychain or option to add one, I added my own after it arrived. I also added a wolf charm myself seen in the photo below. This is what it looks like:
The picture is not great, sorry about that! The seller does not have much information about his sources for the tails, I understand that is a major concern for you.
This seller goes into detail in their stores "about page" about their sources and stances on fur taxidermy. I have yet to purchase a tail from them, but they do seem to care a great deal about their fur sources and the treatment of the animals the fur comes from.
I don't know of any specific seller who sells faux fur tails with such a natural gradient and specific color, but I'm sure there's someone out there who does commissions for fake tails like this (likely costume artists or fursuit makers).
But, yes, coyote tails are probably the closest you'll get to that shape, color gradient, and overall look. Best of luck finding the right tail for you, fellow Canine.
