Polyzon

but not serval or brown boobies

I began to question a new kintype because while doing quadrobics I would get “shifts” of long legs. I just felt my limbs were fucking long lol, and none of my kinfirmed theriotypes had legs so long. I just began searching long-legged quadrupeds and what resonated more were maned wolves and servals. I like maned wolves more if I am to be honest, but they don’t feel like me. That’s how I kinfirmed servals :)

usually when I am mentally shifted, I can still mold myself back into a human mindset, generally ignoring the change in instincts, behavior, and mental framework. sometimes it's hard to control, but overall im good.

I pretty much completely shifted today. I'm away from my fuckass area of my country and deep in my hearthome doing a lot of hiking... and the way I have been feeling has been crazy. I have had moments that I would describe as containing mental, sensory, phantom, and small physical shifts that I cannot control and force back into normal human behavior. My mother who im on this trip with is big on exercise and is aware of my "animal flow" hobby (a different but slightly more welcomed movement group to cover up the word "quadrobics"), so I've been able to do some light quads, but I couldn't have stopped myself today if I tried.

I also got to howl for the first time and I don't think I'll ever be the same. I visited a Wolfdog sanctuary, and at the end we all got to do a group howl with the residents, and my instincts were so strong that it felt like the howl was just crawling out of me. It built up in my chest until I finally let it out, and for never howling before, I sounded just like a coyote. Hearing my own more high-pitched, scratchy howl was a euphoria I'll probably never be able to replicate.

Anyways, im not "out of control" during these shifts, but more so that my shifts were uncontrollable. I'm still me of course, and I control my actions, but during these shifts you could not make me act human more than you could make a dog act human.

Don't engage, just block and move on.

Their blog features claims such as the only valid therians are physical therians, you must be transitioning to be a valid therian, and microlabels harm the alterhuman community. (And probably many more, but I didn't waste my time looking at their blog for too long.) To top it all off, they are paramisic! And of course there's everything they claim in their bio.

The local Malagasy people are dealing with extreme poverty and food insecurity, with nearly half of children under five years old suffering from chronic malnutrition. The local people have always subsisted on hunting wildlife for food, and as Madagascar’s wildlife population declines, the people who rely on so-called bushmeat to survive are struggling more and more. People are literally starving.

Our conservation team thought about this a lot. They had initially intended to focus efforts on education but came to understand that this is not an issue arising from a lack of knowledge. For these people it is a question of survival. It doesn’t matter how many times a foreigner tells you not to eat an animal you’ve hunted your entire life, if your child is starving you are going to do everything in your power to keep your family alive.

So the vets changed course. Rather than focus efforts on simply teaching people about lemurs, they decided to try and use veterinary medicine to reduce the underlying issue of food insecurity. They supposed that if a reliable protein source could be introduced for the people who needed it, the dependence on meat from wildlife would greatly decrease. So they got to work establishing new flocks of chickens in the most at-risk communities, and also initiated an aggressive vaccination program for Newcastle disease (an infectious illness of poultry that is of particular concern in this area). They worked with over 600 households to ensure appropriate husbandry and vaccination for every flock, and soon found these communities were being transformed by the introduction of a steady protein source. Families with a healthy flock of chickens were far less likely to hunt wild animals like lemurs, and fewer kids went hungry. Thats what we call a win-win situation.

This chicken vaccine program became just one small part of an amazing conservation outreach initiative in Madagascar that puts local people at the center of everything they do. Helping these vulnerable communities of people helps similarly vulnerable wildlife, always. If we go into a country guns-blazing with that fire for conservation in our hearts and a plan to save native animals, we simply cannot ignore the humans who live around them. Doing so is counterintuitive to creating an effective plan because whether we recognize it or not, humans and animals are inextricably linked in many ways. A true conservation success story is one that doesn’t leave needy humans in its wake, and that is why I think this particular story has stuck with me for so long.
