TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Acorn Weevil (Curculio glandium) uses its fantastic lil snooter to drill into acorns to eat the insides? Once the insides are hollowed out, the female weevil uses her long ovipositor to lay her eggs in the safety of the nut. The acorn heals and closes the top of the holes, protecting the eggs and larvae.

These crafty fellas are freeze avoidant, meaning their internal fluids do not freeze during the winter.

Yall remember that minors are minorities please

Minors are also discriminated against

Working minors are denied the right to vote (taxation without representation)

So when yall say that "all minors don't understand alterhumanity/queerness/mental health"

You guys are. Generalizing a minority.

Please tell me you understand that

hey is anyone else just a furry alterhuman?? and i don't mean it like you're a furry (hobby) AND alterhuman (identity) i mean it as a furry alterhuman (identity). like my fursona IS ME. thats how i look like. thats ME. i AM an anthropomorphic dog and there's NOTHING you can do about it

Hey, wanna know the ultimate trick to help you explain alterhumanity?

Saying that you "identify" as something can be really, REALLY hard to grasp for a ton of people, so just use a different phrasing with the same meaning!

For example, if you're in a situation were you have to explain your identity to someone who's a bit less open minded, instead of saying

"I identify as a fox"

just say

"I see myself as a fox" or "I feel more like a fox instead of a human"

That has the exact same meaning, but is much easier to understand!

"Yeah, I just kinda see myself as a fox. When I see images of them I kinda go 'hey! That's me!', and doing things a fox would do makes me happy"

Boom. Your chances of being understood just went up by like 80
