Jarandhel's Tumblr: Here's my hurdle right now: →

“Don’t open this restaurant because it will look bad for otherkin/lump otherkin and furries together and that’s offensive/won’t work at all and you’ll lose a ton of money/no one will get it/it’s a stupid idea/it’s a good intention, but a bad idea to try and pull off.”
Good…
I’d just make it a wild foods restaurant. I mean, how many actual kin could be local and...

I mentioned the rape part because in the modern view of things, a lot of the versions of the story are rape, and some people might be triggered by that, but, I don’t usually think of it that way. I prefer to think of all the different interesting possibilities of what it means, to have intimacy between humans and gods/humans and animals in mythological stories. A lot of it is a kind...

childofthefoxes:
This is a very awesome and important thing, Suzanna!
The duck with the trowel should be able to endlessly scroll all fluffy duck posts. Always.
I find that even “endless” has its limits… as in Firefox tends to crash when it gets to taking up around 2 GB of memory from all the pictures on the page… tee hee.

tealcollie:
Okay so I’m trying to figure out if this is just a me thing, a kin, thing, or something else.
I have never felt any connection to human babies. In fact I (regrettably) honestly dislike human infants quite a bit for some reason. They seem strange and foreign to me. I do not want children. I never have. I don’t feel that I could ever be a parent to a human child because I really don’t...

I have questions and I don't want to sound rude.
feveronfire:
So, my question(s)…
Are there different types (ranks?) of otherkin?
Are people who believe they were some sort of non-human in a past life considered otherkin?
What do people mean when they say they have other ‘kin in their head? Is this like DID or is it like memories of multiple past ‘kin personalities or some other concept I’m missing the point of altogether?
I’m sorry. I...

Word otherkin will be 22 years old
frameacloud:
An upcoming anniversary in the otherkin community: On July 9, 2012, the word “otherkin” will have been coined 22 years ago. It was coined in the Elfinkind Digest, a mailing list which is active to this day. On that date in 1990, one participant, Torin, used the word “otherkin” as a variation on the earlier word “otherkind.” Both phrases were casually improvised as an abbreviated way...

Sketching: requests!
the-tabularium:
Well I’m in a very inspired mood so I’m gonna open up a few requests as well as ‘spots’ in a Tumblrkin [and non-kin] tea party sketch I feel like doing. [Secretly I just want an excuse to draw animals and things in fancy tea party getups. And to draw fancy china.]
So drop me a messenger pigeon with your request and/or a wish for a ‘place’ in the tea party and I’ll sketch it up....

By way of putting something positive in the otherkin tag.
This is a real oldie but hopefully still a goodie. Longtime otherkin may be bored of it by now, but I hope it reaches some new eyeballs. I don’t know exactly when it was written; this site has (c)2004 but I think that was just the publication of that particular magazine, since I know for a fact it predates that by years. It was...

kinspeak:
Do people still “count” as otherkin if they identify as humans from the future or past or another universe?
Otherkin means non-human in some way, so, no. Having past and/or future lives (past and future being relative - I prefer the term “other lives”) is pretty much the normal experience IMO, even if most people don’t recall them. Human from another...

The Tarantula in My Purse and 172 Other Wild Pets →
fuckyeahcrows:
I have a book recommendation for your followers; I just finished reading Jean Craighead George’s memoir about raising wild animals with her children, and she has several really funny chapters about the crows her family raised, named New York and Crowbar. Crowbar in particular is a real character, and he even learns to mimic words, beginning with ‘hello’. An excerpt:

The Needs of Otherkin/ the Otherkin Community
felidaelight:
If I was more capable of providing transportation for myself to get places, I would probably try and set something up in Seattle myself… (I can’t drive at all; I’m extremely dependent on others when it comes to getting anywhere… where I live right now makes it really hard to catch buses, too. My extreme anxiety at the idea of organizing anything myself doesn’t really help at all.)

Winnemem Wintu Tribe Plan Civil Disobedience →
Quote from post:
Starting this Thursday, and running through the weekend, the Winnemem Wintu tribe in Northern California are holding a War Dance of civil disobedience, blocking off a 400-yard stretch of the McCloud River, an area central to their coming of age ceremonies. The reason for the blockade is due to the Forest Service’s refusal to grant mandatory closures for these ceremonies,...

I want more opportunities to meetup irl with ‘kin of all kinds, but also special meetups for those of similar species/identities. I’d give anything to just hang out alone with a few fellow felines!

The Needs of Otherkin/ the Otherkin Community
chasingcaribou:
Hello, fellow ‘kin and kind, if you’ve seen the discussions of late, we’re once more exploring the needs of otherkin folks and our community. And, I’d like to know those needs on a more widespread level, if folks are comfortable sharing! (:
In particular, things you feel would improve your quality of life, if only you had access to them.

Or you could try appreciating it because it’s a tool by which the nonphysical can interact with the physical, and the meaning of its existence is what you make of it.

and for some reason, it’s not anything personal to people and i understand they have reasons for it but when people bring up the idea of abandoning the otherkin tag and making a new “secret” tag it really bothers me because
every other abused community reacts to this kind of thing by saying “we have a right to the tag”
