"Practice Alterhuman and Plural specific safety: Protect your information and avoid situations that could be exploited or turn sour quickly.
"Avoid giving very thorough descriptions of your system/headmates or kintypes if you don’t want to be identified whenever you give this information elsewhere or have it used against you. Especially information about triggers or marginalizations. This includes ‘intro posts’ and in-depth ‘carrds’.
"Don’t seek sourcemates for ‘kindating’ based solely on shared canons or base any kind of relationship solely on a shared source.
"Avoid closed communities with an initiation process such as grilling, hazing, or other rituals that do not post their expectations regarding this publicly.
"Teach younger headmates internet safety and routinely check on those who cannot judge well for themselves.
"Avoid people who exhibit red flags previously seen in this document."

"[Something to watch out for in the alterhuman communities is if someone is] Trying to position themselves as a ‘Kin of Authority’: Claiming themselves to have authority over the community and that their words are worth more than other people. Examples [of the red flags of this]:
"Asserting their personal mythos for their identity is the only ‘true’ explanation for said label (ex- insisting only spiritual or only psychological otherkind are ‘real otherkin’).
"Implying or stating anyone with different beliefs from them regarding identity explanations is invalidating them just by mentioning this in appropriate venues.
"Claiming they know better than you about your alterhuman identity; often due to some spiritual power they claim to have.
"‘Grilling’ people without being asked and only respecting their identity if the given answers satisfy them.
"Deitykin trying to get people to worship them or pray to them in a serious manner while promising they can actually do miracles about it. Deitykin otherwise evangelizing for themselves.
"Claiming themselves to be a ‘greymuzzle’ (an honorific gifted to the community through consistent positive contributions to the community over a long period of time, usually 10+ years) in a way that it implies it’s the reason people need to listen to them."

Hey guys,
so me again and a bit busy with the little stamps series, so to speak.
The station collects stamps for a barbeque grill and it’s best to say not to let Johnny take charge of trading it. The shock of all is priceless and Roy flees immediately. Ouch!
But in the end, all men melt away at a little baby! Aw.

genuinely considering trying to make a meat cooler for werewolves that you can store food in but can't use to cook because my dude has so much meat that's gonna go to waste if I take away his fridge but I really need him to quit cooking and then getting pissed about the meal he himself made for not being raw meat when he's perfectly capable of hunting.
