You can call me Sauro, or Sid for short. Iâm an adult who awakened at the end of august 2024, though Iâve been in Voidpunk and xenogender spaces much longer.
I consider myself Alterhuman and donât really use any microlabels. I am some variety of a shapeshifter with primarily sauropsid - both natural and mythical - characteristics.

So last week I put out a poll for therians and otherkin asking whether they're alloromantic or arospec, which has mistakes. So here's the definitive version.
Before you vote, please note if your polytherian you can use the polytherian button but if all your species fit in the same one, you don't know all their behaviours, or you feel that only one affects your romantic tendencies, you don't have to use it.
You also don't have to think your orientation is related to theriantropy, this is just to see if there's correlation.
The last got 65 votes which was way more than I thought, thanks to all who voted!
Are you aromantic and therian/otherkin, if you're not aro please still vote
Yes and my species doesn't experience romance
My species doesn't experience romance and I'm arospec
My species doesn't experience romance but I do
My species mates for life and I'm aro
My species mates for life and I'm arospec
My species mates for life and I'm not aromantic
My species doesn't mate for life and does experience romance but I'm aro
My species doesn't mate for life but does experience romance and I'm arospec
My species doesn't mate for life but does experience romance and I'm not aro

The dandelion siphonophore (Dromalia alexandri) is one of several species in the family Rhodaliidae. These siphonophores are typically found just above the seafloor, where the waters are rich with food. They use long, sticky tentacles to anchor themselves in place while other tiny tentacles grab any food drifting in the currents.â
â
Along with jellies, siphonophores (pronounced âsigh-fawn-oh-foursâ) belong to a larger group called Cnidarians. Unlike their gelatinous relatives, siphonophores are colonial creatures made up of specialized segments that work together as one. They may not be familiar to most, but theyâre abundant animals in the ocean. In fact, siphonophores are some of the most important predators in ocean ecosystems.â
Reblogging again cause I tried this site last night and if you need background noise to focus this is perfect for that, I was locked the fuck in on a task. And itâs also just gorgeous to listen to
if websites in the US start requiring like age verification I think the only thing I'll even bother using the iternet for ever again is to buy shit like my cat's special food or idk fursuit making supplies and tickets for conventions. I really don't NEED social media or tumblr... I'd hate to loose my online herd but like... shit... I'm already considering just sticking to physical media. Like reading all the books I have and doing physical crafts.
Hey, Community Historians! How did people in otherkin groups keep in touch before the internet was more widespread and social? Penpals? Zines with mailing lists? Let's all do that again!
I'm just suffering from an anxious worry I guess. Typical Prey Animal things. I don't want to loose the community but I guess if I need to resort to just keeping a real notebook journal and only meeting therians at furry cons so be it?
forums, instant messaging, mailing lists (including emailing lists) and guestbooks were the most common ways of keeping in touch with folks. we've mostly been online for our history, but the silver elves pioneered it with their mailing list and newsletter
it's why we've been pushing personal websites so much--to help have a place to share your journaling and have a sense of community without the hassle of social media. it helps so much with feeling like youre A Part of the community by crafting something with your own hands instead of relying on an algorithm.
having a physical journal and meeting up irl isn't a bad idea either, but I feel like that would need a committed local mailing list to organize.
