Hello, again. Some of you may have noticed our inactivity on this account. There is reason for this beyond our own personal life making us busy.
The main reason for our inactivity is that we no longer consider ourselves part of the alterhuman community. We are still nonhuman, but we can no longer involve ourselves in the alterhuman, otherkin, therian, or adjacent communities because of rampant racism, colonialism, ableism, and human-centrism.
Particularly in terms of the hatred and exclusion of physical nonhumans and those whose nonhumanity is intertwined with indigenous and/or traditional cultural practices.
The alterhuman community promotes and enforces western colonialist hegemonic ideology of the self, the individual, and social reality. It centers humans as the primary and only true intelligence of the Earth, it enforces strict, socially constructed definitions of human vs nonhuman, it erases traditional cultural practices and spirituality - especially that of indigenous cultures - and it enforces institutional ableism and sanism against those who experience different realities.
Much of the community, especially the "big name" popular accounts, are aggressively opposed to any claim of physical nonhumanity beyond a strictly philosophical approach ("I am nonhuman, this is my body, therefore my body is nonhuman"). And if someone does claim to be physically nonhuman, they are required to admit that it is only within the confines of a personal subjective reality, and concede that their personal reality is lesser than the supposed "objective reality" - in which all of us are demonstrably physically human and can only think we're nonhuman.
One is essentially required to admit that their experiences are not actually real and that they are solely constructs of the mind. You're required to either identify as a delusional individual of some kind, or state that it's only a philosophical viewpoint.
And even when one does state that they are experiencing nonhumanity through the lens of delusion or mental illness, they are still excluded from the community by means of constant reality checking and enforcement of hegemonic reality.
The concept of physically shifting to something nonhuman is possibly the most viciously attacked experience. They completely ignore the fact that physical shifting to other forms is extremely prevelant within indigenous and non-western cultures, and that the erasure of such beliefs and practices is a direct result of colonialist enforcement of hegemonic norms.
The promotion of hegemonic "objective reality" as the be-all-end-all of what is true, possible, and acceptable has led to the complete exclusion of people who cannot make their experiences compatible with it. And if one cannot make their experiences compatible, they are often labeled as dangerous, manipulative, or accused of grooming young nonhumans into certain belief systems.
The irony being, that these social values are the result of centuries of propaganda, indoctrination, and genocide. The ideology of what is and isn't human, especially regarding physical traits, is one of the core pillars of institutional racism. Wherin people of color as defined by their phenotypal traits as being subhuman, and those who actually identify as nonhuman in some manner have their autonomy removed and also treated as subhuman. Subhuman doesnt mean "nonhuman", but rather less than human.
When people encorce this ideology, they are actively contributing to the subhumanization of many groups, human and otherwise. We can no longer stand by this. As much as we have enjoyed participating and having discussions over the years, we've realized that unfortunately these ideologies have an absolute strangehold over the community. We've tried time and time again to break through it, but we've been shot down repeatedly and people just won't listen, despite our position of relative privilege and respect within the community.
We will be continuing to interact with other nonhumans and people with alternative experiences online. We won't publicly reveal our new account here but it should not be difficult to find us. We are far less active online in general, but when we are we will be discussing our genuine experiences without the limitations of these restrictive social norms.
If you wish to continue interacting with us, feel free to DM and we will give you some form of contact.
Thank you, and we wish best of luck to those in the community who will continue trying to break down these harmful ideologies.
Tonight, I did it.
Not officially, but I almost ran away.
I went to the boundaries of my property, and sat in the road. I ran bipedal the way there but got quadrupedal as I continued.
I let it all out. I couldn't speak. I forgot English. All that came out was sad barks, choking noises and whimpers if I tried to talk.
I sat in the middle of the road. The street light glimmering on my pelt.
I howled. For at least ten minutes. Desperately, signaling "please, i need you".
A response came. 4-8 coyotes joined in. Heard my sorrow.
We chatted. For a moment. Although none of us could understand eachother.
They never came to me, though. Got closer, but realized the road is a dangerous path.
I sat whimpering in my driveway, wondering how I had gotten here.
I growled at a passing car, hoping it wouldn't stop and shoot me for being the big bad wolf I am.
I left at 9:30, It is 10:00 now.
My throat hurts. My paws are limp, rough even. I smell like outside. It's comforting. I smell like a dog after being in the rain.
Im going back tomorrow night. Maybe then I'll get farther and explore past where my leash has confined me.
Say. This. Louder. 👏👏👏
Very much wolverine today.
Li'l vent, though. Disclaimer: This is not directed towards a specific individual, blog, Discord, chatroom, or whatever, but rather to whomever it applies to.
I'm thinking about the physical nonhuman discourse. I hate how my identity is a discourse topic. I realize that a lot of non-physical nonhumans will speak about us as though we don't even exist or never directly to us.
Don't get me wrong, I really do love the supportive posts, but I feel like an afterthought that's only brought up when there's discourse or when it's convenient for someone else to use physical and nonhumans as a "gotcha".
Like, especially outside of Tumblr, our "defenders" still don't understand us. A lot of the time, there's this assumption we are all "I identify as x mentally or spiritually, so therefore I am x physically." That is not how I experience my physicality or biology because I was BORN this way. My genetic code is of my holotypes. I literally have nonhuman body parts. It's again watered down so they can digest my identity and my simple state of being. Exhausting.
If you really stood by us, you'd understand that we are all diverse. We are as diverse as any other non-physical nonhuman. If you want to support us, talk about us outside of the discourse and outside of conversations where you have to butt-in that we exist and leave it at that. We are beings, too. We exist, yes, but we are more than just. "Yeah, they exist too." We are more than discourse topics.
Because no,
P-shifters aren't the manipulative, cult-like, evil beings like some of yall make them out to be. If anything, I've only ever seen p-shifters on this site in recent times be persecuted against on this site.
Holotheres don't think they are better than you simply because they are nonhuman in every way.
Clinical zoanthropes shouldn't have to fucking double bookkeep every two seconds to make you happy. You're basically saying they should be uncomfortable in order for you to be comfortable for something they can't control. You're ableist. Full. Stop. Generally delusional nonhumans don't owe you the ability to double bookkeep either.
We are more than just a hypothetical. We are more than a topic. We are more than an afterthought. We are nonhuman. We deserve nonhuman spaces just as much as any other. I hope anyone and everyone who drives us out is proud of themselves. You want more than to drive us away. You want us gone entirely. You want us "cured".
This rant is primarily directed towards bigoted and sanist nonhumans, and especially non-physical nonhumans.
From a nonhuman with a lot of "weird" and "scary" labels. Stop excluding us. Stop backing us into a corner until we give up. Stop trying to push insecurities onto us. We are literally just living our lives. Our spaces aren't catered towards sanism and humans. It just isn't.
I hope this came out worded properly. This is NOT HATE against a specific group, but more of... resentment. I feel resentment towards non-physicals in the nonhuman community who feel the need to push us away because some of us have delusions, have more uncommon/"weird" identities, or have abilities they don't understand. I don't even interact with most therians because I feel unsafe around them. They've likely been taught to dislike p-shifters such as myself. They associate me automatically with cults, manipulation, and other messed up shit. I just have the ability to physically shift, bruh. I haven't thought about starting a cult or teaching vulnerable people how to shift just because of that. :/
What Essential Oils Boost Self-Love 🩷
Promoting self-love and self-acceptance means nurturing a positive relationship with yourself. While essential oils can’t directly create self-love, their soothing aromas can help cultivate a calming and uplifting space that supports emotional wellness and self-care.
Here are six essential oils commonly associated with enhancing relaxation, reducing stress, and encouraging self-compassion:
1. Rose – Often called the “queen” of essential oils, rose is deeply connected to love and emotional healing. Its gentle floral scent promotes relaxation, uplifts your mood, and encourages self-acceptance and inner compassion.
2. Geranium – Known for its sweet, balancing aroma, geranium can ease anxiety, reduce stress, and promote emotional harmony. It helps create a peaceful environment that gently supports a positive mindset and self-love.
3. Frankincense – With its earthy, woody aroma, frankincense is a favorite for spiritual practices. It encourages introspection and self-reflection, making it perfect for creating a serene space for self-awareness and acceptance.
4. Lavender – A classic for relaxation, lavender’s calming properties ease tension and support emotional balance. It’s ideal for nurturing a self-care practice that fosters inner peace and self-worth.
5. Sandalwood – Grounding and soothing, sandalwood is often used in meditation to deepen spiritual connection and promote inner clarity. It helps create a sacred space for reflection and self-compassion.
6. Neroli – Derived from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree, neroli has a soft citrus-floral scent that soothes the nerves, lifts the mood, and fosters a sense of gentle self-appreciation.
Remember: Self-love is a holistic journey. While essential oils are beautiful allies, they work best alongside other practices like mindfulness, affirmations, journaling, and reaching out for support when needed.
the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

Witch Note: You Are the Spell
You don’t always need a candle.
Or a crystal.
Or the right moon phase.
You are the spell.
Your breath, your heartbeat, your intention — that’s ancient magic.
When you cry into your tea, when you hum while cleaning, when you light a candle just because it comforts you… you’re casting.
When you daydream about a better life, a softer one, a wilder one — you’re already calling it in.
Not every spell needs incense and Latin.
Some just need your presence. Your truth. Your spark.
Don’t forget that.
