Boundaries & Interactions 📌💌
I am a fairly open book and do my best to use the most up to date information available, my dms and askbox are open to good faith questions and discussions.
I do not have a DNI and really avoid discourse wherever possible. I stand alongside POC, Disabled, Mentally Ill, Plus Sized, and any other minority individuals & will uplift their voices before inputting my own.
This is the only social media you’ll find me on, but you can message me if you’d like my discord!
I wanted to use what ‘reach’ I may have here to share the Carolina Wildlife Center’s urgent plea for donations. If they are unable to raise $75,000 to cover ongoing and future care of their wildlife patients, the center will have to close July 20th, 2026. The services provided by CWC to the community are incredibly valuable, and without them, many wild animals will suffer without the care they need.
my blog is a safe space for kinky freaks. idgaf what you do in the privacy of your room with the consent of whoevers involved. get freaky, get gross, get weird, do whatever you want forever.
With the increase in interest in radio collars and bird bands, I would like to bring to light one creator who makes such a thing that are wearable for nonhuman identifying people. : Bird Brain Leatherwork. Additionally, the business is independent and queer owned, run by a single artist and leatherworker. Her items are handmade, and by their appearance, look sturdy and well made.
These items are made with the BDSM/kink, petplay, furry, and therian communities in mind. She makes a variety of leather items such as collars and cuffs (as well as other items such as patches and LARP gear), but the following are items which specifically fit the topic of radio collars and bird bands.
Tracker Wild Critter Collar
A collar designed to give the appearance of a wildlife monitoring collar. Customizable and able to include species and ID numbers. Also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker, so your handler or researcher can keep track of you.
The Bird Band Wild Critter Cuff
Reminiscent of wildlife birdbands used for ecological research and monitoring. (Or bands used on "domesticated"/pet bird species as well.) Much like the Tracker collar, the Bird Band cuff also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker.
The Falconer Wild Bird Anklets
These cuffs are meant to resemble the anklets placed on falconry birds, with a large eyelet for proper jess (or other rope) connections.
Ear Tag Wild Critter Tag
An ear tag like those used in ecological research or ranch identification, able to be customized with your own words and symbols. Also includes a pocket for a GPS tracker, and different mounting options for small ears or fursuits. (There are other creators who have made similar Ear Tag style gear using lighter materials that may be easier to wear, if wearing the tag in the physical ear is important to the individual.)
Just came back from Anthrocon 2026!! Had a wonderful time with friends and met a lot of really cool folks as well :D
Got to attend 3 different petplay romps and an alterhuman panel over the weekend and those were all quite fun! I’ll probably make a separate post for all of my fursuiting pics as well
Check out the SCRUFF’D community on Discord - hang out with 11 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
SCRUFF’D is a server for kinky alterhumans made by kinky alterhumans.
This is a place to freely express sexuality and fetish as it intersects with other aspects of our queer and alterhuman identities. We understand that alterhumanity doesn’t end at the bedroom! All walks of life are welcome here, as we hope to build a diverse community and hold space for important (and fun) discussions!
What Counts as “Alterhuman?”
We consider anyone with an atypical relationship with their humanity to be welcomed here. Therians, Weres, Otherkins/Fictionkins, Otherlinks, OtherHearts, Nonhumans, Systems, Misce-Identities, Zoanthropes, anyone questioning these identities, and many more are encouraged to join in the conversation.
Please have a bit of patience with me these first few days while I build a team of monitors- so far this has been a giant solo undertaking!!
When I found him, there were like 10 grown ass men standing around and (failing) to catch it because they were all afraid of being bitten. Once I IDed the guy I basically just reached under the pallet and pulled him out. Didn’t hiss or nothin
I did have to change my shirt afterwards though bc he musked all over me =x=;
Introducing Wild States, a new speculative fiction serial by the Sparrow System, set 30 years in our future where Species Affirming Therapy has been normalized but comes under threat of a very familiar-sounding reactionary administration.
***
Wild States will be published every Friday on ANIMAL's website. Check out the very first issue for yourself now, and support the Sparrow System's creative endeavours by sharing Wild States with others.
ANIMAL is a new independent literary magazine devoted to featuring works by individuals with animal identities, including furries and animal-identifying alterhumans. We are seeking literature and art from individuals who identify with or as an animal in any capacity, be it through gender, spirituality, or/and another one of the many ways one can be animal. As a catch-all for such communities, we use the phrase furry&alterhuman, with a non-spaced ampersand to represent animals who exist around, between, and in both communities.
Our mission is to build a community founded on the celebration of animal-made literary works. Through this project we hope that we can further understanding and respect for our communities.
ANIMAL is based on Substack at animalmagazine.substack.com. Take a look at our website to find submission information and to learn more about us.

Coyote perks up in sometimes the strangest places, though I suppose they really aren't all that strange for an animal known for its ability to survive in the margins of urban and suburban North America.
Walking through alleyways, taking shortcuts into overgrown empty lots, strolling into a claustrophobic corner store for a small break from the summer heat by the drink fridge. Learning the best bus routes to avoid the tourist crowds, getting to know the subway schedule by heart.
Coyote loves sitting in a quiet shady corner of a busy park and eating a greasy sandwich from the local shop for lunch, and coyote kind of likes the smell of beer and sweat and other bodily fluids that wafts out of busy bars on summer nights. Coyote watches hungrily when the rabbits are out nibbling on people's gardens in the early mornings, and coyote quietly protests every rat not chased when they scurry along the sidewalk at night. Coyote wants ice cream for dinner even when its vegan and teriyaki for dessert even when its been in the fridge for a day (or two) too long, and coyote wishes he had just a little bit less impulse control at the farmers market when the fresh fish are out.
Maybe this is part of why I don't draw as strong a delineation between human and animal as some therians do, nor reject humanity as strongly as some do. The coyote in me is animal and yet delights in humanity, wants to sniff around and make a practical home in the margins beneath blackberry brambles and concrete rather than dream fruitlessly of an idealized life in human-untouched wilderness. The wilderness doesn't have teriyaki.
Of course, I love “the wilderness” too, but I recognize how much the idea of wilderness is a constructed concept that's, paradoxically, deeply wrapped up in human perception. So many “untouched” places have been stewarded by human hands for thousands of years. So many wilderness documentaries of far off lands are a camera behind which sits an extensive film crew and bustling roads and towns full of human life.
“The wild” only exists in relation to “the tamed and cultivated and built up.” Why would coyote constrain himself by such things when there are den sites to claim under the highway and plenty of small critters to eat? Why would he care where the pavement ends and the dirt begins? He's busy thriving where he is.
