Now that I have a tad more free time at my disposal, I've been trying to update things over at Beyond Humanity. Lots has changed over the past couple of years online regarding alterhuman and nonhuman identities, and after reading through my FAQ, I realized that some of my answers likely come off as pretty darn snotty. I never intended any of it to sound gatekeepy, but it's a fine line to walk between explaining various aspects of alterhumanity to someone with an outside perspective and providing nuanced answers to community members, and I'm not convinced I did a particularly good job of it. It also seems like the community as a whole (or at least the parts of the community I interact with on a regular basis) has gotten better at understanding and accepting nuanced identities, which is awesome and I'd argue makes for fewer curmudgeons.

No big changes planned for the website currently, but if you have thoughts or suggestions, definitely send 'em my way!
Made some minor FAQ updates over on the website, including refocusing a couple sections on alterhumanity as a whole instead of just on otherkin, or at least broadening otherkin-centric answers to otherkin/therian + fictionkin. Also removed some unintentional ableism in a couple of points and clarified some stuff. Some of the FAQ was written back in 2015 for my Tumblr account, and some of it has aged well! Other parts, not so much. It'll always be a work in progress, and if you ever see something I should correct or clarify, just shoot me a message or whatever.

Also, why is 'caffeinated' not a mood on Dreamwidth... ☕️

Since I've been at home and not commuting and stuff, I've had a little more time to work on my website! I haven't posted much beyond adding a few more definitions and a couple new resources, but it's something! I really need to redo my "why p-shifts aren't real" section thing because it's sort of stream of consciousness in some parts, but it still gets the point across as is I think.

Anyway, go check it out if you want: https://www.beyondhumanity.net/

Also, My next batch of tumbled rocks should hopefully be done next week sometime! I have higher hopes for them than the last batch, since I might actually know what I'm doing now. I ended up re-tumbling a few from my first batch along with the rocks from this second batch, so hopefully they'll all shine up really nicely and I can start giving them away or making stuff with them.
