"I think I'm coming down with a cold"
"I feel so tired"
...
And it's all because of pollen, of course. I hate the way my body reacts to spring.
Once enough time has passed, the formerly disliked immigrants are now lifted up as "the good ones", compared to the new group. Every time the same story. "Their kids cause trouble in school", "they won't learn the language"... 30 years later, they're called "hard workers, unlike the immigrants now".
Research shows that bilingualism is good, actually. And as an adult, my Finnish background has never been a problem. (Unlike for my mum, who could be denied jobs for her accent back then). However, every major immigrant group since has gone through similar issues.
🧵 When my mum came to Sweden the 1970s, prejudice against Finns was prevalent. Finns were assumed to never be able to speak proper Swedish, to be violent drunks, etc. In the 90s, when I was a kid, some of these prejudices still lived in the form of jokes. But things have gotten consistently better.
Had a lucid dream about being on the beach. Used my lucidity to try to shapeshift into wolf form. #dreamshift #therian
Som barnfri kvinna som fyller 37 i år och går på sexfester så hälsar jag att jag inte vill ha könssjukdomar tack. Men tack för omtanken :D
Det finns ingen värdighet i aktivitetsbaserade kontor.
Sneda skärmar & trassliga sladdar överallt. Ett evigt riggande av laptop & kamera. Hörlurar & mikrofon som inte funkar. Stolinställningar från helvetet. Andras urdruckna kaffekoppar & fikasmulor på det skrivbord som är ditt för ett par timmar.
Det krävs väldigt mycket självförsvar när man startar krig med alla.
Another Swedish blog post: visited a queer pet play event. People noticed my skills at quadrupedal movement. :3
Illustration from an 1889 natural history book showing various detailed and colored drawings of marine and land mollusk shells, including univalve shells, slugs, bivalve shells, and lamellibranchiata. The tiger cowry shell, central among the univalve shells, is notable for its smooth, glossy surface with a spotted pattern resembling a tiger's coat. Surrounding it are other shells with varied shapes, textures, and colors, including spiraled, ridged, and scalloped forms, along with depictions of slugs and snails. Each specimen is labeled with letters and scientific names below. The image is scientific and educational, aiming to illustrate shell diversity.

i am still mentally in the place where if someone says "10 years ago" i automatically think of 2010 until i go "wait-"
"we stop listening to new music as we get older" uhm. speak for yourself??
In these days when it's normalised that lgbtq people can be into "geeky hobbies" (scifi, video games, dnd), it's almost difficult to remember what it was like 20 years ago. I felt so out of place at Pride and other lgbtq events as teen. How far we've come!
Jonagold is a boring cultivar of apple. I buy it now and then and always regret it.
Just bought my ticket to a queer party the next weekend.
Expensive ;_; But when an attractive person asks you to go, you know? I'm such a sucker for people with good-smelling leather jackets.

Feminism för mig handlar om att få ta alla positiva delar ur båda lådorna med egenskaper, som av någon dum anledning tilldelats halva befolkningen baserat på vilka genitalier de föddes med, och ge de delarna till ALLA. Och jag tror att detta är ett sätt, och ett bra sätt. Det gynnar alla i längden.
Jag har egentligen inte så stora problem med att kvinnor är nakna så mycket, problemet är bara att män inte är det. Och att de sällan är nakna på samma sätt.
March 28th: Geek night club Syntax Error in Stockholm has a Robots vs Cyborgs theme. Come as a Borg, a droid, fembot, Cyberman, Protogen, replicant... or just as you are. :3

I know that if I see a chat/forum filled with "my mum won't let me wear my tail to school" or "my daughter (10 y.o.) is looking for therian friends!" I won't share about my deeper mental shifts, my weird instincts, the way my spirituality or sexuality is affected by being a wolf-person. Not safe.
Things that become difficult to discuss in therian online spaces dominated by minors, despite not being *harmful* for kids:
- Career choices
- how therianthropy influences lifestyle choices (kids, house?)
- Nuanced discussion about ethics and animal welfare, such as keeping pets, hunting, fur trade.
+ Non-therians have been exposed to therianthropy through children playing dress-up and tiktok. Older people post less on tiktok, and a lot of adult therians don't dress up with masks etc in public. We are your coworkers, your neighbours, etc. A lot of people don't know I'm a therian.
+ Discussion boards/chat rooms being flooded with kids made adults less interested in participating
+ Some of these online spaces restricted or banned "mature topics"
+ Non-therian parents to "therian kids" assume therianthropy is a "kid's hobby" and look at us adults with suspicion.
imagine a species so conceited that they try to impose their sexual dimorphism and gender norms upon every other creature they come across.
relatedly, I really don't like most fantasy media races being slightly tweaked humans where guys get to be monstrous and girls maybe get some sharper fangs
Runners up that didn't fit: Super Mario Bros. Nemo: the dream master. Legend of Legaia. Sim City 2000. The Sims. Harvest moon DS Cute. Plants vs Zombies. The Mass Effect trilogy. Rimworld. Also, not included because too niche to be listed on a foreign site: Svensk MUD. etc etc.
Spyro: year of the dragon. Pokémon: Silver version. Legend of Kartia (aka "Kartia: word of fate" aka "Rebus"). Final Fantasy VII. Neopets. Dwarf Fortress. Civilization III. Team Fortress 2. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.
There's apparently some challenge going around with "the nine games that made me who I am". Of course, there are important games I didn't include. But these are some that have left a lasting impression in some way. Titles in English found in alt text. my9games.com
