What If I'm Just a Star, Dreaming That It's Me?

i wont worry about it i say to myself with the always worried disorder

I feel like to really get this circulating as it should, we need it superimposed over the picture of the turkey going in the fridge. (I can't do it I'm on my phone.)

With the 250th anniversary it's likely to be especially bad this year!

This project was a dream of mine for a very long time. As someone interested in language and literature who also happens to be alterhuman and a furry, I have really been wanting an organized creative space where individuals can easily find and engage with community writing and art. I finally began work on starting ANIMAL this March, and now I'm sharing it with all of you! I'm not really sure how much sustained interest in this magazine there will be, or if it will be enough to even get it off the ground, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyways. It's my hope that ANIMAL can be part of a movement that promotes furry&alterhuman pride, understanding, and acceptance, starting with our own voices and creations. If you're an animal in any way, shape, or form, we'd love to hear from you! The support we've received thus far has been absolutely incredible!!! Thank you to each and every one of you who has already subscribed to our substack and followed us here on tumblr <3 Do you have a personal essay or a piece of art you're proud of? Have you always wanted to try writing flash fiction? Did you write a poem for a class assignment that one time, or do you have a lot to share about a new book you just read? We are looking to publish writing and visual art from our communities, regardless of subject matter: works do not need to be explicitly about being an animal. We accept submissions of all genres from all animals, everywhere. We especially encourage submissions from BIPOC and disabled creators. You can find submission guidelines and instructions here on our blog and on our website!

steam repeatedly notifying you that a friend is booting up a game thats clearly not cooperating feels like ur sitting inside and someone outside keeps trying to rev up a lawnmower

we need to bring back the phrase "what business is it of yours" in a big way i'm serious

i know you can just say "none of your business" but phrasing it as a question with a jarringly formal tone is the ideal way to shoot an overfamiliar unwelcome overture dead in its tracks and force the person making it to confront the boundaries they're taking for granted + it would really piss people off which is funny

&also it allows you to experience the joy of talking like an autistic vampire, which i highly recommend

it’s genuinely fucking absurd that cis people have any goddamn say at all on trans healthcare

ngl, this thing wishes that 'older trans woman' was not synonymous with 'dominant' in the eyes of younger trans women.

My body is already an inhospitable environment, there’s no way a friggin baby would be able to survive in it

Also babies can’t even fight, how would they fare in battle against my inner demons?

on it, boss lady

The emphasis on characters needing to, like, verbally apologize for their past actions in fandom is so bizarre because sometimes a character experiencing narrative consequences for their actions and choosing to improve themselves is better than them pulling out the ukulele. Sometimes a character independently reforming and growing from their mistakes IS the apology
