Tagging System Below The Cut
for the kin flags:
could i request a wolfdog or a werewolf flag maybe? whichever one you feel like making more :]
colors for wolfdog flag could maybe be camo brown (representing a usually controlled urge to be wild), tan (representing being usually a human companion and/or working with humans despite that urge), deep blue (representing loyalty, being usually born for the purpose to help your pack (rather they be wolves or humans)), and/or black (representing an odd balance between being domestic and wild at the same time, feeling as if you're both yet also neither)
werewolf could have almost black-brown (an uncontrollable need to be wild, feral, untamable), light tan/off-white (representing still being human or having a "human soul"), gray (representing finding balance between your "human" life and your "wolf" life), deep gray/silver (representing the moon or moon cycle in general and how much it affects you), deep dull blue (representing still trying to be loyal, rather that be to friends or packmates, but struggling to do so due to being uncontrollable), navy (representing that you can and will cause damage, but don't fear it), and/or black (representing the odd balance again)
I offer you a Werewolf Kin Flag:
(Click images for better quality)
I thought it including a moon may be appropriate, but here are a few other variations for any possible needs or edits
Blank, Feral wolf Icon, Anthro wolf icon versions
I hope to get to the wolfdog sometime as well! Just need some more time to sort it

Color Meanings Below Cut
(A mix of my own interpretations + what anon gave)
[ID: A set of four symbols, two black and two white. It depicts a small circle with a dot in the middle and two small lines coming off of it. It is surrounded by a diamond. In the top images, a circle surrounds the diamond at the end, while on the bottom, the circle is smaller and links together with the diamond from behind. End ID]
────────
Nonhuman Symbol
This is my proposal for a nonhuman symbol; for people who identify as nonhuman in any sense. I couldn't personally decide which version I preferred, with the outer circle on the end or linked with the diamond, so I went with both.
The symbol is meant to represent many varieties of nonhumanity, and include different experiences and communities within it:
The outermost circle represents nonhumanity as a whole- the broad nonhuman community in which anyone can be included, and one's personal experiences with nonhumanity.
The inner circle with a dot represents those with psychological experiences of some kind, as it resembles the disability sun. Not just those with psychological origins- it is for anyone with psychological experiences, or something similar.
The two lines protruding out represent external experiences, such as spiritual, metaphysical, or otherwise outside experiences. This, too, represents anyone with these experiences, not just someone's origins.
The diamond represents multiple things: It can represent one's body, whether it be their physical one or otherwise, it can represent one's personhood and sense of nonhuman identity, and it can represent those who feel a desire to have a nonhuman body / nonhuman body parts, those who already have them (such as in headspace), those who have phantom limbs or otherwise, and so on. It is also a vague homage to the term aldernic.
Anybody who considers themself nonhuman, regardless of why they are nonhuman or in what way, may use this symbol for what they'd like. This includes subterms, such as ahuman.
Do not put discourse on this post.
EDIT: I merged the two symbols together, and I got these:
[ID: A set of two symbols, one black and one white. It depicts a small circle with a dot in the middle and two small lines coming off of it. It is surrounded by a diamond. There is a ring behind the diamond, and then another ring at the very edges of the diamond. End ID]
And I really love them. So I'm going to add these as yet another version of the symbol.
Today I achieved 1800m in 45min swimming with the monovin today! It is a goal I have had for close to a year now! My previous best was 1500/45 and normally my swims have been 1200/45 lately so it is a very significant improvement! I am very tired but feel very nice. I suppose next will be reaching towards 2000/45, 3200/90, or pushing my max distance! Each goal achieved is step towards returning to the water and to whale life.
I have not jet shared the last cast I was able to complete. The texture is not perfect, but it is quite good still and it is incredible to swim with.
I am hoping to make my companion and vin for the end of this week we can swim sunday!
I want werepig flag pretty bad ngl

HERALDIC BEASTKIN otherkin whose kintype is a heraldic beast of some kind, their kintype does not exclusively need to be a dragon.

Mole Gender Flags
A xenogender in which one feels they can express their gender via moles, mole social structures, or mole aesthetics. This gender can present many ways but is especially earthy and quiet. Somebody who is mole gendered may feel most themself when in/surrounded by the soil’s riches or when burrowed and hidden. This gender is especially connected to shyness and/or solidarity.
And most importantly- mole gender is inherently able to be fluid. The “mole boy” and “mole girl” flags are as interchangeable as they are exclusive to being boy-like or girl-like; so use these as you need.
Im pretty sure I coined this(?) but I dont really care about the whole coining thing very much

BPD & Plurality are both pretty relevant to the evolution and expression of my Alterhumanity so it gets to be in the archive
Hey everyone. There's a new youtube feature that rolled out just yesterday that's raising some privacy concerns.
People in the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and Singapore can now share videos and chat with friends directly within the YouTube app. The update bring
This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.
If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.
This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.
To turn this off:
Go to your youtube app settings
Go to Privacy
Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"
Trimming the source id (the stuff after the '?' in links) will also prevent this from happening.
Alongside this I think everyone should get into putting very fake names in gmails again; quit giving your real name to sites ever for anything

A partial history of plural self-advocacy
Plural self advocacy is exactly what it says on the tin: plurals taking control of our own lives and being in charge of how we’re represented. It’s what happens when we speak for ourselves instead of letting singlet academics do it for us. Plural self advocacy has a long history that stretches before the existence of the internet, and it has made a difference. Here are some notable milestones, and what they’ve done for us.
1987ish: Truddi Chase is giving interviews (x, x, x), very openly insisting that her headmates are real people and that integration is not a solution for them.
February 1989: The first issue of Many Voices is published. This newsletter for and by trauma survivors with dissociative disorders is likely one of the first places that plurals could speak about their experiences on their own terms. It would run for over 20 years until 2012, when it was bequeathed to the ISSTD so that the issues could be made publicly available.
1993: Richard P. Kluft’s ‘Clinical Perspectives on Multiple Personality Disorder’ mentions Truddi Chase’s outspokenness against integration, disdainfully. ‘Some perceive the alters as real people’, it says. This paints a clear picture of how multiplicity was perceived at the time.
1995: Astraea’s web is created. This site continues to be one of the biggest plurality resources out there, and Astraea themselves have had a wide reach in plural activism - they’ll come up several more times in this article. They have curated a wide selection of sources on early accounts of plurality, plural involvement with legal issues, and the struggle against psychiatric abuse by all kinds of neurodiverse people, not just plurals.
1998: The Vickis begin to compile experiences of the ‘midcontinuum’, giving us the first terminology to describe median experiences. This is also, as far as we’re aware, the origin of ‘plural’ as an umbrella term.
2001?: darkpersonalities publishes ‘why we are not MPD/DID’, generally regarded as the first known instance of a system explicitly separating themselves from the ‘disorder’ definition. The empowered multiplicity movement grows from this. While many people take a cynical, bitter view towards people who still identify with their diagnosis, it begins to be associated with more sympathetic stances as it develops (x, x, x). Many of us look back disapprovingly on darkpersonalities’ attitude towards triggers and survivorship, but their role was still foundational to the concept of empowered multiplicity.
2002: Tim Bayne writes on the moral defensibility of forced integration, laying out a grounded philosophical argument for considering non-host plurans autonomous people. It’s unknown what influenced him to write this paper, or whether any plurals were consulted.
2002?: The activist group Pavilion is formed. Their activities include outreach towards mental health professionals and academics, interviewing for radio stations, creating informational pamphlets and compiling resources for plurals and interested singlets.
2003: Matt Ruff, author of Set This House In Order, acknowledges Astraea and a plural friend-of-a-friend for introducing him to natural plurality and the idea that plurals don’t have to integrate, inspiring his book.
2011-2013: The Coalition for DSM-5 Reform writes launches a campaign to urge the DSM taskforce to change much of the proposed writing. This gets a lot of attention from plurals, and as such the DSM-5 revises its definition of DID to include distress/impairment, and for the first time accepts the self-reporting of plurality as valid evidence (x, x). It’s worth noting that this is an incredibly small step - as Astraea’s web says, ‘It was not proposed because therapists are beginning to recognize that non-disordered multiplicity exists; it was proposed in order to accommodate members of cultures and races where being more than one person is contextually normal.’ But it’s a step, nonetheless, that begins to recognize that plurals are the ultimate authorities on our own experiences of ourselves.
May 11, 2015: VICE interviews systems including Astraea and Oure Gaiya for a piece questioning if plurality is always a disorder.
2016: The plurality playbook is published internally at Google. It covers advice for plurals on succeeding in the workplace while dealing with the specific challenges that plurals face, and advice for singlets on respecting and assisting their plural coworkers.
January 18th, 2019: The Double Gears system (well known at the time as streamer and speedrunner protomagicalgirl) disclose their plurality on Hbomberguy’s DK64 stream for Mermaids. The hashtag #pluralgang trends on Twitter as a result, encouraging many people on twitter to come out as plural and many more to realize they’re plural by being introduced to the concept for the first time. #pluralgang has been a consistently active hashtag for the year since its inception and continues to be used to share resources, organize meetups, promote activism and generally remind plurals that they’re not alone.
The plurality playbook is also publicly published around now. In the new foreword, the Lizzes cite the activity surrounding #pluralgang as their motivation for this.
March 2019: The first Plural Positivity World Conference is held. It was created as a counter-conference to the one hosted annually by the ISSTD. The fees for attending the World Congress on Complex Dissociation and Trauma start at $200 for just one day, making attending near-impossible for the lay person. As the Crisses put it, “The ISST-D holding meetings, disseminating information, creating policy, teaching new standards for treatment, discussing new options, or sharing their research findings about us should not be done in a place that by design excludes us.” The Plural Positivity World Conference will run again in 2020.
December 25th, 2019: Power to the Plurals announces The Plural Association, a peer network for plurals which intends to provide phone, email and live chat helplines.
To this day, the overwhelming majority of plural activism has happened outside of the medical model. Improvements in the treatment of plurals have come from us being seen as people, and singlets seeing us as people has come from us viewing ourselves that way - by making spaces for us to understand ourselves and create narratives that aren’t bounded by pathology. Even changes within psychiatry have mostly been motivated by pressure from plurals demanding fairer treatment. It is good, and necessary, for us to speak for ourselves. We have done so much, and still have so much more to do.

New Essay On Dreamwidth!
The Self-Discovery Ouroboros: My Journey With Mythic Alterhumanity is an essay that discusses my relationship with mythic alterhumanity and my progress with questioning, dropping, linking and even reclaiming some species of mine! I also discuss the importance of being both human and nonhuman in my alterhumanity!
