Part personal blog, part therianthropy journal. Expect to see art, wildlife, natural sciences, some memes, some fandom content, and more. Check under the cut for more info!

Feel free to shoot me an ask any time :) I love to chit-chat!

For some lore:

I realized I was a therian about 15 years ago when I stumbled across a wiki article for therianthropy over a decade ago. It put a name to thoughts and feelings I had had for as long as I could remember.

I've explored various possible theriotypes over the years--including mule deer, lion, and wolverine--but nowadays, I best understand myself as a mountain gorilla (primarily) and a red-tailed hawk (secondarily). Understanding myself and my experiences is a never-ending journey!

In my "human life", I work in an environmental-related field. I'm also neurodivergent and a trans man. I do find my trans-ness and neurodiversity plays a part in my therianthropy, and you may see me ramble here and there about how those three things intersect in my own life.

Not enough of you were reading ComicJK, a minor webcomic from the late 2000s whose last update was during the 2012 election

perhaps some will disagree, but i think the world got worse when we changed the colour of the night

To be clear, THIS is how nights of the future should be lit

This is bat friendly street lighting, which not only looks sick as fuck but allows bats to pass through without disturbance, as they cannot see red.

orange and especially white lights deter bats and prevent them from reaching feeding grounds at nighttime. Please if you can, write to your local council and encourage red street lights!!!!

[anarchistmemedistro]

ALSO! red light doesn’t fuck up human night vision much so you can go in and out of lit areas without readjusting

[anarchistmemedistro]

[thicque]

the red light not fucking up human night vision is also why a number of older cars had gauges that lit up red at night

[b0ggyb1tch]

i legit miss red lights in cars and appliances n stuff. red city lighting is goated

[birdbutchcloaca]

you know the more i've interacted with therian online the less i actually care about. the actual label. draconic communities had it right its like. a fucking spectrum from guy who is very into their fursona to actively trying to find a way to species transition and i think making false walls between them reduces the richness of being speciesweird
