I've been feeling more confident in my otherlink side. It feels cool to just exist without caring that it's "cringe" or "not real". Like whatever. It's fun! It's fun to be a creature, even if it's just online (in my case). I wish everyone the most fun with their identities/lives.
your gastrointestinal disorders and other such related disabilities can be really important to your life, and it is completely reasonable to want to talk about it. whether in a serious context, a venting context, a casual context, or whatever else, your disability is not too gross to be a part of your life that you talk about.

distractions , distractions all day long , take half dozen courtiers to get this done - try to neaten up some of silliness , but might still see some . hopefully bearable !
do not think this will end up as some kind of formal series , but figure if no words even seem to be out there ... maybe need to take plunge on discuss !
It's really nice to see something about spiritual experiences of plurality that aren't just Many Worlds theory (which is a perfectly okay way to understand yourselves- it's just not the only way to be spiritual as a system!). It's doubly nice to see animism being talked about as a potentially plural or plural-adjacent experience.
While none of our group consider ourselves to be animism-based entities (unless you include the stuff we're made of- is considering neurons and cells to have autonomy in some sense a form of animism? Is considering awareness to be a property of matter a form of animism?), we do sometimes perceive presence, awareness, or selfhood from things not typically considered to have it. That perceived entity could be anything from a grain of sand to a planet- it's not limited by scale, though things tend to get weirder at very large or small scales.
We also sometimes interact with these beings as part of our spiritual practice. Once or twice, we've let them look through our eyes. I don't think we've experimented with any sort of full or partial body control with them yet, but talking to them can be interesting or surprising, and it's certainly felt plural-adjacent to us.
It's also led us to wonder about the border between inside and outside in the past, particularly after reading about the concept of the "porous self" in Robert Falconer's book on spiritual possession's intersections with IFS therapy. At this point, I don't think it's a harsh border between the world inside our head and the world outside, at least not inherently. I think it's more of a gradient.

Is it the wolf community's idea? Now I wonder if you would accept a lion working with it.
Obviously I am a lion under the constant supervision of humans, and I talked about tracking collars in January (and even tried to make it but that's a different story), but never thought of the codes... I loved this idea; my identifier is presumably LF0919. I'll explain why, down under the general info.
I researched the topic of lion tracking and how their IDs are formed.
So, most often the code consists of several parts:
Examples
M023 Male (male) #23
F014 Female (female) #14
LM12 Lion Male #12
LF08 Lion Female #8
PR3-M07 pride #3, male #7
BA-b01-AF pride Barafu, individual b01, Adult Female
Often added:
Area: SG-M015 - Serengeti, Male 15;
Pride: MW-F03 - Mwamba pride, Female 3;
Year: 22M04 - male #4, first registered in 2022;
Age: AM (Adult Male), AF (Adult Female), SM (Subadult Male), SF (Subadult Female), C (Cub).
And why is this (LF0919) my ID? This Lion Female was awakened in September 2019, similar to the "first registered in" template.
Sounds nice, I'm going to add this code to my little documents.
I know some blogs on here have talked about feeling boring and unoriginal for being a “common kin type” so I just wanted to say
(Using dogs as an example but this applies to all “common” types)
I don’t get tired of seeing dogs on walks. I see people walking their dogs all the time. It makes me happy every time. I’m not disappointed to see another dog. I love dogs
It can be exciting to see someone walking a cat or who has bird because we don’t see that very often
I still want to see dogs on walks. I will still point out the dogs I pass in the car. I see dogs a lot, and I am very grateful I do
I feel the same way on here. While the alterbeing community needs some work on being less centered around one type of being, we still need those beings
If you ever see "positivity" (or any other word) misspelled in any of my tags, feel free to inform me, so I can correct it.
(A few times I've misspelled "positivity" and Tumblr has been suggesting me tags with "positivity" spelled incorrectly).

Hello!! I hope this doesnt come off as rude, I'm still learning more about alterhumanity and otherkin and anything alike.. I noticed one of your posts that said Alterhumanity only includes certain groups, and all this time Id been using it to describe ANYONE who identifies as nonhuman on any level. Should I use nonhuman instead, as a more inclusive term?
This isn’t rude at all! Thank you for this ask! I appreciate folks who reach out to learn more about alterhumanity.
I apologize if there’s been some confusion around my posts. The thing is: alterhuman is an inclusive term. It was coined to be that way. I often compare it to the term queer when explaining its purpose; in its current usage, queer is an umbrella term that’s inclusive of all who are LGBTQIA+ in some way. Similarly, alterhuman is an umbrella term encompassing many experiences that are considered “non-normative” to *(ortho)human society and its concept of identity.
(*Orthohuman is the antonym for alterhuman. Envision your average person on the street who has no connection to this subculture. That’s an orthohuman. This is distinguished from humans since there are human alterhumans, but I digress.)
The issue isn’t a lack of inclusivity. Alterhuman was coined for everyone. The issue is that there’s many folks who assume alterhuman is synonymous with nonhuman, which it isn’t. This leads to the erasure of other alterhumans and their experiences, largely because nonhumanity is centered a lot.
Make no mistake: nonhumanity is still an experience that’s included under this concept. It’s not wrong for someone to talk about their nonhumanity as a part of their alterhumanity, but my posts are in relation to an ongoing issue of folks mistakingly treating this label as another way of saying nonhuman. Being nonhuman isn’t the only way to be alterhuman. Moreover, folks need to stop and reconsider their assumptions that either a.) all alterhumans are animals or nonhuman in general or b.) animality and/or nonhumanity are the core part(s) of everyone’s alterhumanity. A lot of language in the community— such as using beasts/critters/creatures/etc in referral to the alterhuman community collectively or presenting surveys as something for all alterhumans but only asking questions in context to nonhumanity— exhibits these assumptions, which is an issue for alterhumans like myself and many folks I know in this community.
There’s plenty of ways to be alterhuman. Some ways pertain to who or what you are as an individual, and some ways pertain to atypical relationships you have with various things (animals, fiction, mythology, objects, concepts, etc). That’s just the surface of what alterhumanity can be, whereas nonhumanity is a very specific experience that focuses on one’s species.
I recommend using nonhuman / nonhumanity / nonhuman community when you’re specifically talking about nonhumanity. You can still reference alterhumanity since nonhumanity is a form of alterhumanity. Just know that nonhumanity and alterhumanity aren’t interchangeable. In other words: nonhuman is the word you’re looking for when you describe the experience of anyone who fully or partially identifies as nonhuman on any level.
Alterhuman is an umbrella term that encompasses multiple experiences. The groups I list in my post(s) are specified not because the term alterhuman is exclusive to them, but because they are often overlooked in contrast to nonhuman experiences (otherkin, therian, holotheres, etc). Erasure of these experiences happens a lot, which is why I specified them when discussing the meaning of alterhumanity. Don’t feel discouraged, though: you’re not the first to ask this! Folks confuse the two as synonyms quite often, and there’s been clarifications before my own on the subject.
Like I said before, think of how queer is used as a term. When people talk about queerness, it applies to many experiences. One’s romantic and sexual orientation or lack thereof, one’s preference in presentation or personal referrals, one’s gender or sex, tertiary attraction, polyamory, relationship anarchy, etc. Nowadays, queerness can refer to anything because it’s a term meant to include and represent a diverse array of experiences. Although it’s usually not intentional, referring to the concept with only one experience in mind— like only focusing on the experiences of gay men for example— contradicts its purpose.
The same applies to alterhumanity. Alterhumanity is meant to include all sorts of experiences that are treated as atypical or alternative to the human experience, including experiences that aren’t human at all. That said, it isn’t exclusively about nonhumanity, just as queerness isn’t exclusively about gay men (like in the example I gave).
I’m not asking for nonhumans to stop using the term, nor am I saying that only a few groups can call themselves alterhuman. Rather, I’m asking that folks step back and think of their peers when they refer our community and term so loosely. I’ve seen a few folks here and there justify their usage as “Well, for me, it’s about nonhumanity!” which is fine if they’re explicitly talking about their own experiences. But when they use it that way for the community as a whole, it’s dismissing many of their peers who constantly have to remind everyone that we too exist and have as much of a right to be unapologetically ourselves as every nonhuman does.
Just wanted to say thanks for the therapy worksheets and other resources you link to. I have always avoided professional therapy both because I'm poor and because I'm really really worried about being forcibly institutionalized for my attractions. These resources allow me to still work on my mental health in a way that I can manage.
And overall thanks for running this blog. It is so important to have a safe space like this, and it has helped me accept my attractions and work on self-acceptance in general.
I am glad they have helped you! I know a lot of people can't go to therapy due to pricing, long wait lists, threat of institutionalization, or just inaccessibility, so I try my best to find resources that can be beneficial if people would like to work on their mental health in their own time/space.
Everyone deserves access to these sources.
For those who haven't seen my pinned, here are the resources I have there:
Get Self Help [link]
Therapy Worksheets [link]
OCD worksheets [link]
Grounding techniques for intrusive thoughts [link]
Survivor's Toolkit [link] (Mainly recommending the worksheets there)
Care Package for Survivors of Sexual Trauma [link] (mainly reccomending the "managing common reactions to trauma" segment.)
And here are some additional worksheets!
DBT worksheets 1
DBT worksheets 2
CBT worksheets 1
CBT worksheets 2
More therapy worksheets [link] (Warning that it self advertises online therapy programs at the end of each sheet)
hello i have a question. do you know if theres a blog about advice for expressing alterhumanity, like dress (like oh do this with your hair if youre _ or eat this if youre _ etc)? i thought there was and i have something to add to it that i dont want on my main blog, but i dont remember what the blog is! if it doesnt exist can i put it here instead? thank you
I have no idea. I've only seen some posts with some tips from some users, but I haven't seen any blog whose main subject is giving advice for expressing alterhumanity.
If anyone is aware of any blog like that, feel free to share in comments or reblogs.
There's nothing wrong with you having a different gender(s) and/or orientation(s) from your source. It's okay to be different from your source. A different gender(s) and/or orientation(s) doesn't deny your identity.
