i realise this is because im way too autistic about animals and spend too much time reading about animal cognition and behaviour, but the way some members of the therian community talk about animals, like theyre just simple beasts incapable of complex emotion, really bothers me sometimes. like that meme that did the rounds on here a few months ago, something along the lines of "i wanna be a wolf, the only emotions wolves feel are chomp and awoo". first of all, just because wolves arent humans doesnt mean that their lives cant be just as rich and complex as them. second of all, wolves dont feel emotions?? fucking wolves??? one of the most emotionally complex mammals, that have such complicated social structures that scientists are still scratching their heads about them? those wolves??
obviously im exaggerating a bit here (wolves arent The most complex mammal, that would be a tie between chimpanzees and orangutans), and i do know that its just a joke. but these jokes reinforce beliefs that humans have, and i think that us therians could start leaving them behind us now. yes, animals can be just as capable of complex thinking as humans are, and to think otherwise is just doing them a disservice.
for example, did you know that some corvids are capable of not only using, but making tools? and that most animals engage in play as a way to learn from their surroundings? and that some birds can recognise human faces, and even behave differently if they like the human or not? and that chimpanzees can make and use objects just to amuse themselves, and not for their survival? and that some birds pull pranks on eachother and laugh when they are discovered? and that most social animals learn skills by watching their parents doing them first and reproducing them? and that corvids have favourite objects that they carry around in their beaks? and that rats can count and process numbers in their heads? and that squirrels can remember where they buried hundreds of seeds for the winter? and that some species of birds have dialects and accents depending on where they live?
intelligence in animals isnt just being capable of doing things that humans can. intelligence is being creative, using your environment to you advantage, finding sources of food where others wouldnt, being able to think quickly and outside of the box. understanding cause and consequence, predicting that something will happen before it happens, planning events beforehand. communicating effectively with your peers, sharing food, information, taking care of eachother instead of yourself. it isnt just tools and art and abstract thinking and language and writing.
we are only just scratching the surface of what brains can do, and the animal kingdom is fascinating. there is so much stuff out there that you cant even begin to imagine. i encourage you to learn as much as you can about it, because really, it will blow your mind.

Vultures are storytellers.
They see birth.
They see death.
They see continuation.
In every morsel consumed,
A page is written.
A new chapter begins.
Experimentation is my quill.
My siblings in being, my coauthors.
I will tell our Mother's stories,
In any language necessary,
In the hope more will listen.
This is My Purpose.

affirmations for myself :
You are nonhuman no matter how many times ur brain tells you, "but what if you're faking and just want attention?"
You are a weirdo, and that's okay.
It's okay not to know everything about yourself.
You don't need to mask when you're alone. There aren't cameras on you.
.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk
