non-exhaustive thread of some of my favourite TF stories/sites
- Birth of a Dragon, by KaniS: https://draconic.com/fordragons/
- SFW, romance elements
The story at this page is 100% real, but there's a fiction story buried in here that I've always related to a lot.
- Last Session, by Kristina Tracer (Th' buni): https://web.archive.org/web/20030627101029/http://www.menagerie.tf/~krd/writing/pp13/lastsession.shtml
- SFW
Part of the Passenger Pigeon 13 series. A powerful little story about species dysphoria and the mixed emotions of a last therapy session.
- Pretty much anything by Jewelfox: https://web.archive.org/web/20110911120500/http://www.becomeyourfursona.com/stories/
- All SFW
Jewelfox is a survivor of Mormon abuse, and her stories that feature beings trying to reconcile their oppressive religious upbringings with their desire to transform are particularly good. (Endure to the End, An Enemy To God, As I Am) There's also a lot of focus on autistic beings.
- If WisheRs Were Horses: http://www.unicorn-dream.co.uk/destrier/menu.html
- Mostly SFW, some NSFW
An old site by Destrier, including stories, mock-FAQs on what to expect during a transformation, and traditional mythical and folkloric transformation stories. Almost all horses. I remember liking a lot of the stuff here for its general species-dysphoria themes; this is a good little example. http://www.unicorn-dream.co.uk/destrier/Fiction/derbyday.html
one of my friends was asking what she could call me (namewise, cause she only knew me as my ffxiv character) and i gave her two choices and she picked the cuter one
and i got this sudden vibe of "aw i wanna share my ref sheet with her" but like. at what stage of a friendship is that appropriate

Pallas's Sandgrouse
An unusual bird of dry plains and grasslands that looks like a cross between a dove and a grouse. Both sexes have a long, needle-thin tail, a rectangular black belly patch, and overall sandy-brown plumage. The male sports an orange-and-gray face and a pink tinge to his wings and back. The female is browner, with heavy speckling on the neck and nape. Flies in flocks, often gathering in groups of up to thousands strong at reliable waterholes.

abuse tw, asking for resources
Does anyone have recommendations for resources on how to recover for prolonged emotional abuse? Doesn't need to be clinical, other survivors' stories would work too. I realized recently that my relationship with my ex wasn't as harmless as I thought and I'm struggling to find resources that aren't "do CBT about it"
Please do not share the photo of the Yanomami old lady who has recently died of hunger.
The Uruhi-Yanomami association has come forward to explain that in Yanomami culture all belongings of the dead are burned, their name isn't evoked, and photos stop being circulated. They want people to stop using this photo in particular.
If you believe it necessary to show the graphic malnutrition photos to draw attention to the years of deliberate genocide during the Bolsonaro administration, 1) consider thinking twice about the premise and 2) if you really feel like it helps, at least use other photos of victims still alive.
The photo in question shows a severely famished old woman in a wooden house, being weighted on a floor scale by a government agent.

So back on Xmas eve there just so happened to be a new 2D animated #Moomin short that aired on Finnish TV Network YLE and I just found out about it today! It's pretty much everything I wish #Moominvalley would be, so definitely give it a watch!
For now I think the link below is the only place to watch reliably globally. You do not need any prior Moomin knowledge to watch and understand it!

Cobalt, they/it/he, white, 30+. The transtrender they warned you about. Theriomythic, possibly a U-28 creature. Striving for kindness. Headmates include @yuumurakirika and @judasiscariot666.
I may not follow back, unless you're Highly Weird.
Words I like for me: person, being, creature, critter, dragon, derg, lizard, etc.
Please don't use: anything with the human* root (humane etc).
