About:

I'm Corey, I'm 23, and I'm nonbinary (questioning xenic). I use the following sets of pronouns

they/them

op/op/ops/ops/opself

raptor/raptor/raptors/raptors/raptorself

feather/feather/feathers/feathers/featherself

claw/claw/claws/claws/clawself

alien/alien/aliens/aliens/alienself

pluto/pluto/plutos/plutos/plutoself

I'm velociraptorkin and alienkin, and believe the source of my kintypes to be past lives.

I label myself as queer, in addition to more specific labels to articulate my queerness

nonbinary

trans

asexual

demiromantic (demipanromantic)

diamoric

I am disabled/neurodivergent/mentally ill. If I misinterpret a post, please give me the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't on purpose and instead my brain being clumsy.

Autistic (I can't read sarcasm and often can't tell when things are "obviously" jokes when they aren't necessarily framed as such)

ADHD (time blindness, rsd, executive dysfunction, nuked working memory)

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (my brain gets paranoid and jumps to the worst possible conclusions)

Prosopagnosia (face blindness)

Dysgraphia (handwriting is painful and also my general dexterity is rather impaired)

Impaired spatial awareness (idk what this is a symptom of)

Slow processing speed (5th percentile, another orphan symptom)

Due to this lovely suite (/s), I often find I have less energy to work with on a daily basis than many other people do.

Blocking

I block people pretty regularly, including to avoid accidentally violating DNIs because I forget who allows what groups to interact.

Blocking is a wonderful tool to curate your online experience, and I couldn't recommend it more.

“To be in favor of solitude is not to be against community or friendship or love. It’s not that being alone is better, just that without the experience of it we block ourselves from discovering something enormously beneficial, perhaps even vital, to selfhood. Who are you when you are not a friend, a partner, a lover, a sibling, a parent, a child? When no one is with you, what do you do, and do you do it differently than if someone was there? It’s hard to see someone fully when another person is always attached to them. More importantly, it’s hard for us to see our own selves if we’re not ever alone.”

I think self-kindness is a little more accessible if you’re having trouble reaching self-love. Think about it. There’s plenty of people you don’t necessarily love, but you still put the effort into being kind to. Why should you be any different towards yourself?

[warriorsmurf]

I love you (many of you!) and hope you're safe, internet people.

the thing is, I genuinely think that people are far too prone to forgetting that humans are fundamentally social creatures. This doesn't just mean that we need to socialize and be around others, but that inherently we are attracted to All Things Human.

Nowhere is this most forgotten when people allow themselves to be baffled or mystified by sexuality. For centuries there have been attempts to intellectualize why we find certain traits attractive, and some of them do hold weight on a sociological scale with regards to how beauty standards are shaped by class and race for example. But when we get to the realm of the individual there does not need to be any explanation for why anybody finds breasts or butts or hips or bellies, large or small, attractive. Or even, for that matter, hands or feet or thighs or armpits or necks or shoulders or body hair or anything else. We find these things attractive because they occur on human bodies, and as humans we are social creatures and we are therefore inherently drawn to things that are human.

Few things are more human than the human body, and there is no restriction on this. No inch of the human body is less human than another, and so, every inch of it will be something that we want to be close to. Perhaps on some primal unconscious level big breasts or a large cock triggers an animal recognition of fertility, but is it not far simpler to recognize that there is something vital and gratifying, about the parts of one another that are soft, rounded, and warm? Parts of ourselves that we know feel good on our own bodies, and thus feel good to touch on another's? We understand implicitly the universal joy of freshly baked bread, it's warmth, fragrance, it's rich rugged crust and plush softness. All of our bodies carry these same qualities at all times. All bodies bear that roughness, that plush softness, that warmth, and it's own human fragrance, in billions of variations. To prefer any part of it is no stranger than those who like their bread plain or with butter, sliced and toasted or torn from a whole loaf, dipped in soup or drizzled with honey

This post is making me wonder if my otherkinity and asexuality are connected in some way... Interesting to ponder.

i think broad spectrum insecticides should have to show dead bumble bees and monarch butterflies alongside the "pest" insects on the bottle and in advertisements

So people know what the product actually does

[headspace-hotel]

Insects are the foundation of terrestrial food chains, 80% of plant species are fully dependent on them for reproduction, and they are vital for soil creation and decomposition of dead plant and animal matter.

Insecticides widely contaminate soil and water and are toxic and carcinogenic to humans, and residues persist for years or decades inside homes. Populations of most insects are currently declining rapidly, except for species that are able to be parasitic on humans (pest species of our crops, flies, cockroaches). Tick populations, and tick-borne diseases, are exploding. Their main predators are ants, spiders, and beetles.

The insect decline is in my opinion a greater threat to the future of the human species than climate change.

We depend on them for everything, every day of our lives. But enjoy giving yourself cancer while doing your part to make sure your grandchildren don't know what a berry is.

[dorotheian]

Some people wouldn't appreciate the satire of labeling butterflies and bees "pests." They'd just assume that whatever species was depicted is a new pest.

(Monarchs feed on milkWEED after all)

I would settle for giant red letters that say "KILLS GOOD BUGS TOO!!!"

people are dense......

[headspace-hotel]

You're right sadly.

People do not appreciate how much bugs do for us

Hit take but outdoor pets don’t exist

I’m a huge proponent of taking your cats or dogs outside for walks, or just to be outside. Please don’t misunderstand that.

However if you leave your cat or dog outside at all times or even just most of the time, all you’re doing is feeding strays that are accustomed to you

[quietnqueer]

‘Humans are a social species’ – but what do we mean by ‘social’ exactly?

We ought to examine our understanding of human sociality to account for the not-very-sociable amongst us.

i see a convo w a character ai and i keep scrolling

[3liza]

learning about primatology a bit has made me a lot more tolerant of human behavior i didnt, as a huge weirdlord, intuitively understand, especially noise-based stuff. like when people scream when they meet each other somewhere. its fine, that is just affirmative social signaling and primates love to hoot n holler. theyre bonding. its loud but its important for the cohesion of the social group which is vital for species survival. i get it

[velocifeather]

Somehow, knowing this hasn't made People Making Noise activate my fight-or-flight any less.

“religion is not inherently homophobic/transphobic and religious lgbt people deserve to practice their religion without hate”

and

“many lgbt people have had negative experiences with the church/ religion itself and deserve to respectfully distance themselves from religion, and are under no obligation to give it a try”

are two ideas that can coexist

[positivelyatheist]

LGBTQ+ people also don’t need negative experiences with religion to justify not being religious!
