I haven't been here in a while. A few months, at least. I live in the United States and I think, unless you've been in a genuine coma, you likely know what my country is going through politically. I don't often mean to get political and truly, I never do, but I feel now more than ever that my therianthropy has a role in something important beyond my personal identity.

My non-working life is largely spent in the national refuges, parks, and reserves across my country. The workers that protect them have been fired.

The habitats of my theriotype and my kithtypes are constantly facing a threat from the 1% of billionaires who view the ocean, the forests, the prairies, the deserts, the arctics, the entire world as a resource to exploit to further their wealth without personal consequence. As if the ecosystem is not a home for billions, if not trillions, of voiceless, living beings.

Forests are being sliced down to produce more cash, line more pockets, make more room for un-needed infrastructure in the wake of a country already on fire from climate change that "doesn't exist".

The arctic is being drilled for oil until it is no longer habitable by the animals who rely on it, and people are fine with this because it does not personally effect them.

The waterfalls and rivers are running dry to use up their water resources with no considerations as to what that will cause or how it will impact things because "that's a problem for the future generation".

The lives of your friends are at stake, the people in our own community, even our family members because of people threatened by differences.

I am tired. I have no choice but to be complacent, but I have never felt more drawn to bite the hands that try to approach me with their cages and leashes and muzzles. As I sit on the beach or by the lake and see the trash accumulating and the rainbow sheen of leaking oil accumulating at the shore, I can't help but ask "what can I do?". I am sitting here in the now, watching this happen and keep wishing this was only a chapter in a history book, but it is not. This is reality.

I feel a sense of personal responsibility for maintaining what little I can for my home as an animal. This body has given me voice, a medium to share it, and the ability to take action as much as possible even if it is a microscopic in the wake of billionaire oligarchs.

If we bite their hands, they will use it as a reason to put us down and tighten our muzzles, but we can do something even within our cages. Please, safely go to protests when you can. Boycott large brands. Do not spend your money where possible on big chains or abusive corporations. Clean up your territories and preserve what little land we are allowed to call our own, even if it is small. Grow what you can. Flowers, trees, vegetables, herbs, fruits, plant them all for every bit of nature that we reclaim and expand upon is something they haven't taken. Group up in your communities and support each other. Sign petitions for our animals, for our environment, for our volunteers, for your friends. Speak out on your platforms. Make art, make videos, write posts, make signs, plaster posters in your neighborhoods, actively fight the censorship. Fight them in the ways they don't want us to fight them, and do not let them convince you that your actions are too small to make a difference. Any difference is better than no difference, and combined efforts make large waves. And most importantly...

They cannot take our ferality.

Do not let them euthanize you.

I did not want to do this, but... we really need a miracle.

We really need help relocating to WA!

Details are under the cut. This post mentions abuse, briefly touches on alcoholism, and discusses extreme poverty and unsanitary conditions. The short version is we need enough money for a plane ticket to Washington State, and fast.

We need help with our $300 plane ticket, some for food until we sort out foodstamps, & at least $100 to keep our phone on until we can find work.

We've been locked out of our GoFundMe account, and to be truthful I don't see one being very effective, so- our cashapp is $LarkspurWoods & our paypal is @KaiThePotatoChip [long story, don't ask lol]

Anything helps!

Goal progress: $0/600

Our Story

We are currently stuck off-grid in Missouri without a way out.

We moved out here to meet & stay with our dad, who is terminally ill, after being kicked out of our mom's in September. Turns out he's got next to nothing, we're all cramped in a single, disgusting RV [4 of us, not counting our aunt and uncle], and we've lost more than we've gained since being out here.

We were promised before our arrival that we would be able to earn an income out here, & have been unable to aside from just enough to pay our phone bill.

This inability to work has been due largely to all the vehicles our dad's family owns having broken down shortly after our arrival, as well as not having [& not being taught!] many useful skills for this lifestyle.

We don't have reliable internet or a way to seek remote work, either.

We haven't been able to do even basic things like take care of personal hygiene out here. We feel absolutely disgusting. We hate living this way.

We were supposed to get food stamps & our wisdom teeth out, but we can't...

Our father owes us money for the several weeks we have spent splitting wood for him, & has failed to deliver.

There is usually barely enough to eat, as well.

On top of all this, his sister and her husband are ignorant, bigoted, criminally violent alcoholics. They have near-daily instigated arguing and fighting since they arrived a day after we did.

Occasionally there are "good days." On one such day, November 25th, we ended up accidentally having an [attempted civil] discussion about intersex people and advanced biology in which we tried to inform them their worldview was outdated, got shut down, and then mentioned how we felt disrespected- they ended up heated and we walked away from them. they followed us, assaulted us, and their dog bit us 3 times on our ass, left arm, & face.

In addition, we have received multiple thinly veiled death threats when they're upset.

We called the sheriff, and they did nothing.

When our aunt and uncle are sober, they're not as volatile, although still incredibly emotionally abusive, prone to gaslighting, and manipulative.

We do not feel safe here, especially not as they have made it clear they have no intention of leaving anytime soon.

We have several friends and family members in the Oregon-Washington area, as well as a long-distance partner whom we've been dying to see for over a year. Our father promised to assist us with funding a trip to see them and, again, has failed to deliver.

We have been given explicit permission by several people, including our partner's family, that we have a place to stay out there, but we can't afford the plane ticket. after almost 2 months of working, we have only $50 to show for it.

We want desperately to see our partner for the holiday season and to escape our unsafe environment, and it feels like the entire world is against us right now.

We've spent weeks monitoring plane ticket prices, and the lowest is about ~$300 right now counting baggage fees.

We don't even have food money, let alone cash to get any gift for our s/o...

We've talked with a family member & they've offered to help us with getting a job as much as they can, but it's remote, and again we're off grid and don't always have gas to power the generator.

I am BEGGING anyone who has taken the time to read this to help us in some fashion.

We need help with our $300 plane ticket, some for food until we sort out foodstamps, & at least $100 to keep our phone on til we can work.

We can't promise much due to our shitty circumstances, but anything that we can do to assist or return the help we will do- we dabble with art, graphic design, music production, & video editing if people need help. We edit picrews and like making phone wallpapers as well. Just ask, and we'll try our best to do it.

This society has failed us severely. We want to make something more of ourself- we just really need some help.

Thank you to any and all for reading this, and we thank you even more if you decide to help.

[foxitheskeleton]

everyone please report and block @/acryl1csyst3m they are extremely ableist !!! they make jokes about special ed classes, and use the R slur. as a mentally and physically disabled person, this is extraordinarily offensive and also just ?? weird as hell ?? so yeah please block n report :(

also they think that “faking a disorder” is more ableist then SAYING AN ABLEIST SLUR ??????

and mind you they ADMITTED to not having any disabilities.

anti endos have NEVER been disability allies. they have NEVER been DID or OSDD or plural allies. Pk they have always been ableists fucks who seek to control and hurt disabled people. yes, even anti endos who are disabled or plural. that is internalized ableism and pluralphobia that you need to work through.

the future is plural, and endo’s are cool as fuck <333

Hi y'all, Cynthia here! Gonna throw out a small cry for help and bother y'all.

We're kinda really struggling right now to make ends meet. Between being unsure about making rent and needing funds to be able to get to our appointment in Austin, we could really use the extra help.

I know Lari's been streaming a whole lot lately, that's to help make up the difference with the hours at work we're losing at the moment. But things are kind of dire.

Our Ko-Fi is open, even if we don't have much to offer art wise. A little help will go a long way right now.

meant to update yall: i chose red thread! it looks great imo, i love the contrast :) i also added a dangerous bend symbol on the pocket (hand-painted, not a patch!)

close-ups of each icon individually below the break!

[foxitheskeleton]

question for you guys.

black thread would be hidden and look seamless, but i think red could look really cool. but i don't want it to look bad, so figured i should ask what other people think before making a decision. ill be wearing this jacket to tour! :)

[foxitheskeleton]

Yall. I hate to do this TvT but Astro couldn't quit and made a new account.

https://www.tumblr.com/remikzthetherian

BLOCK HIM IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT ENGAGE.

@plural-blocklist sorry for the tag but we find this important.

[foxitheskeleton]

hi guys! just wanted to share that i posted a listing for chainmail on my buymeacoffee page! :D

$40 for a pair of gauntlets, $20 each. check it out, if you'd like! :)

also, feel free to message me if you want a different custom piece and we can discuss!

[foxitheskeleton]

hey guys, has anyone else had this issue? it tells me i have an ask in my inbox, but when i open it there's nothing there. i sent myself a test ask and it worked fine. any way to fix it?

i did contact Tumblr support, but they sent me a generic article about "known issues" without a fix for it.

[foxitheskeleton]

it is complete! i actually really love how it came out.

again im still thinking of selling custom pieces like this. if anyone is interested lmk! i haven't set up an Etsy shop or anything but i can work something out until i do that :)

[foxitheskeleton]

hey, would anyone be interested in buying can tab chainmail? im thinking of selling finished pieces.

i don't really have pricing or anything planned out yet, just trying to gauge interest. probably won't charge too much though, the tabs themselves are really cheap.

here's a piece im working on for myself right now. (i don't have my bulk tabs yet, but it'll be a fingerless glove sort of thing. ill post a picture when i finish it too!)

[foxitheskeleton]

made a mask for myself finally! instant species euphoria :) it needs coloring still, but i have to buy some paint pens soon for that.

thought about offering commissions for them too! if anyone would be interested in that lmk! :D

[foxitheskeleton]
