i feel like these poses each give a slightly different character to eachother. even when the only real change is the way the hands are posed to sit on the hips.. has anyone noticed this

[kashuan]

yes!! one of my favorite art instruction books touches on this

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Came across this art installation, Liza Lou's Kitchen, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC. It's a kitchen made of tiny glass beads, that artist Liza Lou did, taking 5 yrs. to complete, from 1991 - 1996.

My favorite part is the sink.

Details of a recipe book.

All the details in tiny glass beads.

Love the pie in the oven.

Love this so much.

No wonder it took 5 yrs.

Word otherkin will be 22 years old

An upcoming anniversary in the otherkin community: On July 9, 2012, the word “otherkin” will have been coined 22 years ago. It was coined in the Elfinkind Digest, a mailing list which is active to this day. On that date in 1990, one participant, Torin, used the word “otherkin” as a variation on the earlier word “otherkind.” Both phrases were casually improvised as an abbreviated way of referring to people who identify as other kinds of creatures.  

(Source: Elfinkind Digest #71. The archive of this document is still extant, and I have read it. Thanks to the mailing list moderator R’ykandar Korra’ti for making this primary source available to me while I was researching our community’s history book, the Otherkin Timeline. Thanks to Torin for permission to share this information.) 

Right now, the word “otherkin” is nearly 22 years old. That means that any otherkin who are currently in their teens weren’t even born until after the word had been coined. There are lots of otherkin who have considered themselves to be otherkin, of a kind, even years before the word had been coined. Detractors sometimes claim that otherkin is merely a passing fad popular among youth, but this is evidently not the case. 

Any thoughts on the significance of this passage of time? Where were you at, as an otherkin, 22 years ago? Anybody want to make plans for the 9th, to set it aside as a day for thinking about otherkin things? Maybe a party for reminiscing, maybe even with costumes and artistic “glamour-bombs”? 

[frameacloud]

Here’s the anniversary again. Tomorrow, on July 9, 2015, the word “otherkin” will turn 25 years old.

[frameacloud]

This year, the word “otherkin” recently turned 32 years old on July 9, 2022.

The top post in this thread from 2012 is where I first proposed observing it as Otherkin Day, unless if anyone can find earlier references to that. The original post is gone, so I was grateful to find this particular post had been archived on someone else’s blog.

[arethinn]

And so did the word otherkind, being otherkin’s elder sibling by a a few months.

I’ve now got a page on my website titled A Brief(ish) History of the Word “Otherkind” based on my reading of the contemporary Elfinkind Digest, which talks a bit about the coining, trends in usage, whether it included elves at first, and whether it included animal folk (today’s therians).

[frameacloud]

Thanks! Folks, Arethinn’s essay is excellent, I highly recommend reading it.

Happy Otherkin Day once again! Now in 2024, the words “otherkin” and “otherkind” turn 34 years old.

winter solstice does not feel like the shortest day of the year. crazy that they only get longer from this point on. shortest day of the year is definitely like in the dead of January or maybe early February, like spiritually. darkest and most sinister months

bathe in your own sunlight !!!!!!

[novsinu]

Wow, this brought back memories from the Inti Raymi celebration/ "Sun festival":

"It was believed that at this time, the sun could leave and never return. So, people were encouraged to seek the sunlight within themselves. Thus, if one day the sun decided to leave forever, you would not be left in the dark because your inner light would illuminate you.
