❧ Hi! We are The Coffee Collective and we go by Coffee online, they/them or ask for current pronouns, and we are a queer, alterhuman, neurodivergent & disabled mixed-origins plural system. This is our place to reblog silly posts about our interests, which include activism, queerness, neurodivergency, disability, plurality, art, writing, nature, animals, and most of all whatever (usually fictional) media we’re hyperfixated on at the moment. We don’t say much on here, but we are always happy to interact with mutuals and make new friends!
We have no DNI/anyone can interact, but we curate our own space and block liberally. We will block anyone who is bigoted in any way or has discourse stances we don't agree with (we do not participate in any discourse and try to avoid it as much as possible). We are anti capitalist, anti-censorship, anti gen ai, anti genocide, anti radqueer/transid, pro endogenic systems + all forms of plurality, and we think shipping discourse is dumb + that everyone can engage with whatever fiction they want however they want forever.
If you don’t know what a system is: text resource, video resource
For simplicity we try to tag all common triggers and such as tw [thing] or [thing] tw, sometimes both, but we don't always remember to do this.

not all rabies victims will be foaming at the mouth.
rabies isn't gonna be super obvious to those who don't know what to look for
there is only one documented case of someone recovering from rabies
TELL TALE SYMPTOMS:
cat does not act aggressive but attempts to bite with no warning
cat is off balance and falling over often
cat is spinning in circles for no reason and /or has no sense of direction
increased vocalization
paralysis
and seizures
Me: nooooooooooooo it was only YESTERDAY, IN MY OWN HANDS, I very much HAD A LIST of rabies-free places FOR WORK -
Noooooooo!
In 2013, Taiwan, which had never before documented rabies, discovered its first cases of lyssavirus in the wild ferret-badger and therefore had to leave the WHO’s rabies-free list. That’s on me.
do NOT pet the wild ferret-badger.
"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade
Once I said "My gender is whatever's funniest at the time" and my coworker stops dead in his tracks, turns slowly and says "So are your pronouns honk/honk?" killing me instantly
I was talking to a friend I knew before I transitioned about my new relationship (my first one ever!) and I said "Yeah, I think I only indentified as aro/ace most of my life because I didn't have lesbian as an option" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "Oh? Why not? ...Ohhh"
Then he said "You know, I completely forgot you weren't always this way. Femininity really suits you" and let me tell you I started tearing up
Of course, not ten minutes later I mentioned that I had to relearn how to sing and he said "oh no, what happened?" so he might just be a little slow
Update on that friend: a bunch of people sent me "he's a little confused, but he's got the spirit" gifs in response to that story. I can tell you now with certainty that she definitely has the spirit, and she's not confused anymore
i do wanna say that like, she's a black trans woman but she is also autistic in a needing someone to help her way. I feel like that representation for disabled/neurodivergent characters that are also poc is essentially non-existent. I need help too it's nice to make a oc that's similar

A storm rolls over Late Cretaceous Hateg island, nourishing the land and drenching the local wildlife. Featuring: Tethyshadros, Hatzegopteryx, Paludititan, Balaur bondoc, an Enantiornithine, Sabresuchus, and many other critters.
still thinking about the time my bf asked about favourite dinosaurs and my brother said quetzalcoatlus (pterosaur (not a dinosaur)) and my bf said dimetrodon ((synapsid (stem mammal) (went extinct 50 million years before dinosaurs evolved)) and i said crows (bird (dinosaur)) and yet i was judged to be the incorrect one in this scenario
