@spacefinner @yksteldus it’s so fun to hear about historical writings of folks demonstrating/exhibiting therian traits. It’s not some new thing. This shit has been around a long time. Species dysphoria is no joke. (It’s sad hearing how they were treated/dealt with though :/.. but that persecution still persists..)(some cultures dealt with it better tho..)

@spacefinner I don't like to use the term either though other people would probably describe me as such. I'm not that old though... it would be cool if there were any history books about "therians" or "lycanthropes" or whatever word we want to use... I haven't seen any yet

@spacefinner "hushed as if he's talking about something sacred." Wow, I very much relate to that. I was like that when talking about dragons/reptiles with people until very recently (and still a little bit). Hesitant, a little embarrassed, dealing with shame. Excited by the topic but not sure how to express it, and not always comfortable talking about dragons/reptiles with other people. And also not really understanding the desire I had made it all more awkward and embarrassing.

tubmlr post by questions-within-questions Dec 22,2024 Being a ranger I spend a lot of time alone in the wilderness for hours in the company of one of four co workers. One such worker for the purpose of this post we shall refer to as Dave. Dave is a very quiet man. He confesses that if conversation happens too quickly and for too long he gets tired so we often work in silence. He's very polite and good natured but it's obvious that he would happily live and work alone for the rest of his life given the option. He's very much in the previous generation of ranger, a practical man in his fourties or fifties happy to be kept physically busy for a day and then be sent home with some pay. I had to show him how to use a work issued smart phone. Meanwhile the rest of the team is made up of the current generation of rangers: openly nurodivergent queer women in their twenties or thirties who work this job because it's the only setting where we can vaguely look sane. @spacefinner

@spacefinner This explains every time I've gone to a rave in the woods; the rangers show up... and start partying.
