Intro Post

Hi! I'm Thunder.

I'm a freelance artist and wildlife biologist located in the INW.

About Me:

Call me Thunder (online only), or Michelle. I'm a woman and I use She/They pronouns. I'm sapphic and in a closed relationship with my long term partner.

I'm in my 20s, I work retail on the weekends when I'm not studying, doing research, or completing commissions.

I'm a 1st gen American and a 2nd generation immigrant. I'm hailing from Washington and Germany!

I'm also a furry, if you couldn't tell already.

What I like:

Learning new things, the sciences, field research, cooking, documentaries, film & tv, books, artistry, taxidermy & bone collecting, music, leftist politics.

Boundaries/DNI:

.Proship/Pro-para, or ANYTHING associated with that ideology of thinking. These terms are so chronically online and I hate them but leave if you think like this.

. anti LGBTQ or any other kind of hateful stuff, y'know

. Zionist

I don't care what fandoms you're into or any of that shit, just stay away if you're creepy or hateful. Don't be weird about religion or shit like that either.

Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".

The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?

(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)

I need to you all to know that the original caption for this is : “POV your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday.”

Have a very busy May ahead of me, and I'm very stressed about it. This feels like an omen

"Age in bio or i'll kill you"

You better pay close attention to the first one, and read it very carefully. I will quiz you on it later.

So much good tags

[kirstenly]

if you're following me, and you aren't aware: you owe no one online your specific personally identifiable information. Please do not put a list of traumas, conditions, likes, dislikes, and location related data on your profiles. Be safe, stay private, and have fun.

Imo, "18+ only" in bio does nothing to stop a minor from accessing something they shouldn't.

BUT!

It removes liability from the person who runs that blog, so that they cannot be accused of knowingly giving minors access to restricted content.

So, please tag your shit accordingly. Stay safe.

When I was 15 I was very negative. Of course I was, I was 15.

But I noticed I was negative. And I didn't like it. I didn't like the way it felt inside to be me, and to live like me, with all those negative thoughts all the time.

I had read somewhere that you could train yourself to be happier. That you needed to force yourself to think positive thoughts, until it became a habit.

I remember those few months of high school where I used to catch myself mentally complaining about something, and then forcing myself to find something positive to think about the person or situation. Again, and again, and again.

And it worked.

It became easier. And I became lighter. It was just nicer to be me, to live my life, to navigate through my days. I still remember the moment I noticed my life had become brighter.

And decades later, it still works. The muscle is still there. Now I know the word is neuroplasticity.

But at the time, it was just a 15 years old girl who was tired to be in the dark all the time, so she made light in her own brain.

tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”
