#nonhuman — Public Fediverse posts

If you're more of a dog person, we got "In Dogs We Trust" for you - the 1st anthology of #dogs in #AmericanLiterature - covering texts 1644-1954 (fiction, #poetry & nonfiction, mostly 19th & early 20th c), edited by Jacob F Rivers, III & Jeffrey Makala

#Cloudflare predicts that in five years, #nonhuman #internettraffic, driven by #AIagents, could be 1,000 times higher than #humantraffic. This surge in #bot activity, which closely resembles human #browsing but at machine speed, could render human presence on the internet negligible. The rise of AI agents raises concerns about the future of independent websites and the overall quality of the online experience. https://www.techspot.com/news/113410-cloudflare-humans-could-become-rounding-error-bots-generate.html?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

That #nonhuman #animals have #culture has been denied for a long time … meanwhile we cannot do that anymore.

**Co-improvising with the non-human** very happy to share that I am among the 15 artists selected by Musikfonds for their amazing AI Scholarship Programme. I will explore how non-human group intelligence can inform the design of algorithmic agents for musical co-improvisation. More about it here:

The Ethical Pshifter by Azriel Pierce is an informational 101 on what it means to navigate through shifterhood written by a physical shifter. Check it out!

*I guess it's describable as "sarcastic LLM-generated science fiction and personality-cult promotion," but just as a narrative artifact, as consecutive words presented on a screen, this is a really, really weird form of writing. #nonhuman #hallucinatory #delvish www.tumblr.com/brucesterlin...

$0/$2000

Atha and Inara are out of HRT, need more batteries and insulation before winter really starts to get super cold, and also fast running out of time to pay for their car loan and credit card bills. Please help!

This week we need to raise at least $2000, and we know most of you don't have any money to give and of those who remain, very few have anything in four figures or more spare. What can you give to help us keep these otherkin, trans, non-binary beans alive and well?

They live in a half-converted school bus to RV project known as the #Vulpibus and are building their lives back up after being forced into #homelessness last year.

You can help make their situation more liveable and safe!

You can help them resume their transitions!

Share, boost, talk about them and the work they are doing for #geneediting systems development and maybe spare some coin, or some connections to free stuff or unofficial part time online jobs!

Headmate Asena, the werewolf

#furry #art #werewolf #wolfgirl #therian #otherkin #nonhuman #plural #pluralgang

I really want to connect to other plural/otherkin (esp. fictionkin)/nonhuman/alterhuman blogs, but I don't know how to find them effectively.
….oh god do I actually have to be open and blog about this shit? Must I be the change I want to see in the world?

‪Hey, I'm Page! I'm 25+, I prefer he/they pronouns, and I'm queer, (neo)pagan, plural, and nonhuman (specifically folcintera).

I'm primarily an artist and writer; you can find most of my written work on my system's website, Three Dragons and a Dog, though I also publish TTRPGs and some other stuff on my itch.io.

I'm part of a five-person draconic system called the Sol System, and I'm primarily a canine psychopomp myself; most of what this blog entails will likely be personal shenanigans, art, and writings on alterhumanity, multiplicity/plurality, religion, queerness, and things of similar veins, albeit my other interests--the horror genre, food, tattooing--are likely to make appearances as well. If that interests you, consider giving a follow!

Hi, I'm Lucky! I'm about to begin a Masters revolving around how to design video games / digital experiences to fulfill animal embodiment fantasies specifically for those w/ a nonhuman identity. I've been cleared to do surveys which do not collect identifying information. All questions will be optional & surveys will be anonymous. I NEED YOUR HELP -- where can I post these surveys for reach? Is YOUR community open to it? More about me in this thread :3 1/5

Went to Flowers: Flora in Contemporary Art & Culture at the Saatchi Gallery.

https://www.saatchigallery.com/exhibition/flowers-flora-in-contemporary-art-amp-culture

There’s a lot of interesting things that can be said flowers, what with all the current interest in the human’s entangled relation to the nonhuman, the Planthropocene, the environmental humanities, including elsewhere in the Saatchi gallery:

https://www.saatchigallery.com/exhibition/liminal-gallery-entangled

But the curators here? They draw on very little of it. The concept behind the exhibition is basically: ‘Here’s some works of art that depict flowers.’

That said, some standout pieces make it worth the visit, especially La Fleur Morte by Rebecca Louise Law and The Machinery of Enchantment by William Darrell.

Also: dedicating the final room to emerging artists is a great curatorial move. More shows should copy that.

If you're interested in the relation between the city and the environment, this is worth a read:

https://berlinergazette.de/category/feuilleton-en/kin-city/

'The “Kin City” text series draws attention to the abyss between conversations about ‘the city’ on the one hand and ‘nature’ on the other, and the resulting failure to adequately conceive and politicize the crucial role of metropolitan spaces for human and other-than-human life across the planet. To overcome this cognitive dissonance, the “Kin City” project addresses cities as both drivers and ‘victims’ of ecological collapse, and above all creates a space for exploring the existing and possible connections between urban and environmental struggles.'

For a Westerner it seems a contradiction that at the same time these peoples attribute self-awareness, intelligence, intentionality, table manners, compassion, spoken language and technology to #nonhuman animals, atmospheric phenomena and other beings. What the moderns consider exceptionally human, for indigenous peoples is a shared condition of many beings [potentially, all of them].

This has led to much confusion regarding the native cosmologies and anthropologies.
