Sloane. It/that or mirror pronouns. 21. I'm an arctic fox that gained (and then lost) the ability to shapeshift. I consider myself physically both human and nonhuman. Some people would consider me plural, I just consider myself a vessel for wandering spirits.

Nice to meet you!

I struggle to read coloured text / non default fonts / text on images, so will likely not follow back people who primarily use these without plain text versions, sorry!

I'm so used to bugs running away from my camera, so imagine my confused excitement when this gorgeous planthopper crawled out of its hiding spot and started posing for the camera instead!

Curious lil peepers~

Look at its beautiful emerald green abdomen!!

As much as I think it would be fun to have emotive anthropomorphic ears, I also recognize I can barely control my facial expressions. Like hell can I keep from Angry Ears-ing during meetings

I consider myself feline-hearted because I see felines as my family (<- simplified explanation) and although I feel similarly about centipedes I'm hesitant to call it that and put them in the same category because it's been a lifelong thing, my love for cats, whereas my connection to centipedes is fairly new. It feels almost like they shouldn't be in the same category, like im minimising the impact on my entire Self felines have. But then again it also seems silly to think that. Centipedes have a very similar impact for me, and something so highly personal like heartedness is bound to be different between different [types]. It's something to think about more wrt the wording and/or labels I use, but I'm comfortable with explaining the feeling as 'centipedes are intertwined with my sense of self'.

"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, and species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?

This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.

as someone in the field of ecological conservation, I can promise without a shadow of a doubt that people DO care. SO MANY people care.

I have to race to sign up to volunteer trips because even with dozens of spots available, people rush to devote their unpaid free time to helping the environment. these trips often fill up within hours. people care.

you will see a lot of bad news because that is the kind of news that people pay the most attention to. I know this more than you'd think from my optimism- not only do I live somewhere facing some of the most extreme ecological issues on the planet, I also spend my time studying the Bad Stuff every single day.

to see all of this firsthand and stay hopeful is proof enough that there IS hope. I promise there is good news, brilliant news, all the time. it's just less visible. but it's no less important or impactful.
