  1. CW: A Therian/Otherkin Experience

    Okay, my friend. You want to feel good?

    Let me help you transform.

    *Offers you a light blue potion in a small glass bottle with a cork closing it. The label reads "Soulself Potion".

    This will help you.

    Now, I can't help you transform physically, of course. This is all going to take place as sensations, emotions, and imaginings. But if it can help you feel closer to your real form, at least for a moment, then I'm happy.

    First, drink the potion. Don't worry, it tastes good. You'll need to uncork it... pop! Okay, down the hatch! Every drop... Good, good. Well done. Now the fun begins.

    After a moment, you should start to feel a tingling sensation over your arms. If you concentrate, you can feel your human skin slowly morphing into something else. Your fur, or scales, or feathers, or differently-colored skin slowly appears, like a gradient of hues flowing up and down your arm, your new covering sprouting painlessly.

    Feel for a moment your new covering, revel in how it feels to be truly you in this way. This joy of being so like your -real- self.

    Your hands begin to tingle a bit as well, and as you move them, flex them, you can feel them changing too. Perhaps they grow long and slender, with delicate claws, or perhaps they grow thicker and more paw-like. Your Soulself shines through here, your hands so like those of your real form. Feel how they flex differently than before, feel the fur or scales covering them, your claws or talons sprouting in place of nails.

    If your Soulself has a tail, it is now that you feel it, or them, growing at the base of your spine. It grows out of you to its proper length, covered in beautiful fur or scales or hide, and able to swish or curl or wiggle or wag. Feel that movement as your tail comes to life and begins to echo your emotions. Does it wag happily, or curl around you protectively? Whatever you feel, your tail moves in a reflection of it.

    If you have wings, you can feel your shoulders tingling, the new limbs blossoming in batlike or feathered greatness, stretching as far as you possibly can stretch them, then folding and settling down on your back. They're strong, just like you, and you can feel your limbs and the effect they and your tail have on your balance.

    Now imagine yourself fully transformed, completely the real you. Concentrate on the sensations in your limbs, your body covering nearly tangible to the touch as you pet your arm or foreleg. Feel your ears move if they can as they track sounds or respond to your emotions, your whiskers or nose twitching as you take in scents.

    You are really you. For this moment, feel yourself as fully as you can. Take joy in being able to do this, to feel closer to your Soulself, your true form. Someday, perhaps, you will be your true self. Until then, use your imagination as much as you can. Do your best to love yourself, even now.

    I see you, friend. And you are gorgeous.

  2. Your BlueSky Feed Is Porn You Didn’t Ask For Because Your Friends Are Gooners With a Severe Porn Addiction

    A common complaint I see people make on Bluesky is: why am I being served so much porn or things I am not interested in? They will incorrectly believe that the algorithm is broken. It’s not broken. You didn’t know the people you knew as well as you thought you did. Porn addiction is a thing, and porn addiction is especially common with weebs. You’re seeing deranged shit because people you follow have porn addictions and are into deranged shit. So, though you may not be consuming porn, people in your network are. That activity kicks into your feeds.

    The issue I have with that is that it essentially normalizes being sex pests in a space on the Internet. That sets the expectation that it is good—attractive, even—to act like that elsewhere. That expectation alienates relationships. Bluesky creates a cultural space that offers an unrealistic, bizarre representation of social relationships, which isolates and alienates the users who stay on there consuming erotica and porn like they do.

    So, user repos in Bluesky have a property for likes. Bluesky’s underlying AT Protocol stores likes as first-class structured records in each user’s AT Protocol repository. In the AT Protocol lexicon, a like is an app.bsky.feed.like record type. Unlike a simple boolean flag on a post, it is its own record with a creation timestamp and a subject field that holds a strong reference to the liked record.

    That strong reference is composed of an AT-URI and a CID. The AT-URI identifies the exact record in the network by DID, collection, and record key. The CID is a cryptographic content identifier that uniquely identifies the exact content of that liked record.

    These like records exist under the app.bsky.feed.like namespace in the user’s repo. Bluesky’s repo model is built so that these repos are hosted on a user’s Personal Data Server and are publicly readable through the AT Protocol APIs. Because of that, the like record and its fields can be fetched, indexed, and used by any client or service that can query the protocol.

    The protocol exposes operations like getLikes. This returns all of the like records tied to a particular subject’s AT-URI and CID. It also exposes getActorLikes. This returns all of the subject references a given actor has liked. Those API calls return structured like objects with timestamps and subject references directly from the public repository data.

    Various feeds hosted by different PDSs use the likes property to construct the feeds that you see. Since the likes of people you follow are included in your social graph, along with your own likes, you’re going to get served the porn they are consuming. Because likes are public and anyone can write an algorithm to see everyone’s likes, you can clearly see just how much porn people are consuming.

    Honestly, what started to turn my stomach about the people on Bluesky is how they behave across different contexts. If you look through the records of the posts they interact with, you’ll see them engaging with political posts in the replies like a normal person. Then, when you look through their AT Protocol records, you see hours and hours of them interacting with every kind of porn imaginable. I am not exaggerating. Hours of likes for porn posts within 1–10 minutes of each other. Am I sex-negative? A prude? No, this site is filled with furry, gay bara porn, lol. You can have a drink without being an alcoholic. The problem with these people is like people who can’t have one drink without drinking the whole fucking day; they can’t consume porn in healthy ways.

    I think people assume that their feed is customized for them and based on their likes. No—feeds are generalized based on what everyone likes and then served to your subgraph. It’s not just about who you follow; it’s about who they follow. So if you follow someone who follows a lot of people with porn addictions, you will see porn. Bluesky isn’t weighting the algorithm to do this. Basically, it’s the people in your social network with furry, hentai, or trans porn addictions who are driving it.

  6. The Virulent Infection of BlueSky by Extremely Online, Brain-Rotten Zombies from X Continues

    So, it appears a new migration from Twitter to Bluesky is underway. It appears to be some of the most virulent former 4chan users possible. Yep, I got off Bluesky just in time, lol. I’ve been keeping tabs on a particularly virulent and toxic subgraph on Twitter for years. It pretty much stayed off Bluesky because they couldn’t act like abusive dumpster fires there. Welp, looks like they’re becoming more active on Bluesky. It’s not looking good over there.

    That they are on the move says something. It’s sort of like how the US is suddenly a place that is hospitable to measles. It was all but eradicated here.

    My husband likes to say that you can tell where not to be by where I am looking from somewhere else. I like fires. So if I am observing your platform or community from a distance, you probably don’t want to be there.

    Edit:

    I had originally posted the above on a now-defunct federated blog. It got blasted to Mastodon. Someone replied and asked what I think is causing this. I debated actually answering, then decided that I’ve had enough of the dumpster fire that is social media. I decided not to wade through social media tech discourse into what will mostly likely be an Internet argument with a complete stranger. I am a techie dragon, and I engage with things to learn how they work so I can tinker with them. I only engaged with tech discourse to get my hands on how the tech works. There’s nothing in it for me to be part of larger conversations. Arguing with random strangers on social media is not an epistemically useful format. I do think I should answer, though. Just on my blog.

    I treat social media like I do an addictive substance. I do not believe in abstinence, but I do believe in harm-reduction paradigms, so when I see everyone overdosing on social media, I pull back and shut down a lot of accounts. The Fediverse instance where the first part of this blog post was posted has been taken down, moved to this blog, and this section appended to it.

    I often use the word weeb pejoratively. Here, I am using it categorically. There really isn’t an “official” name outside of otaku or weeb culture. I am at the fringes and intersections of it as a furry. My husband is a millennial weeb. With that being said—

    The migration is in large part because Bluesky is capturing the otaku/weeb niche of X. X hosted networks that were ecosystems of “anime fans.” These included anime and manga artists, doujin and hentai artists, VTuber fans, NSFW illustrators, fandom shitposters, niche fetish communities, and other chronically and extremely online content creators and influencers. That culture relied heavily on timelines, informal networks, and discovery through reposts, replies, and algorithmic amplification.

    Elon Musk pretty much destabilized X’s ecosystems and social networks from multiple directions at once. Algorithm changes made reach inconsistent. Moderation created anxiety and uncertainty about what would get suppressed or unintentionally “viral”. Bots, engagement farming, and blue-check reply spam actively poisoned fandom conversations.

    Bluesky is the memetic and cultural progeny of early imageboard cultures. I conducted a phylogenetic analysis of the memetics, which you can check out here:

    Bluesky is a competitor of X for otaku and fandom communities. Bluesky has a lot of the aspects of old Twitter dynamics around which fandom culture evolved. Recently, Bluesky introduced something big in those communities: going live. Since X is no longer habitable for weebs, they are moving to Bluesky.

    For example, the AT protocol already has PinkSea:

    https://pinksea.art

    And, of course, there is WAFRN:

    https://app.wafrn.net

    I cope and deal with issues via personal, private sublimation and not so much exhibitionism of my art or consumption of art. So, while I do make comic books and do a shit ton of weeby art, it’s for the purpose of sublimation, so I’m not too interested in being a part of a community. That’s a large reason I am not active in those spaces. I’m quite cynical, in general, so I am suspicious of any community — and I mean any community, at all. Honestly, I am mildly contemptuous of mass participation or any sense of belonging. So, my art stays private, because it is created for me – and just me.

    🌼 About: I'm Rachel Gardner from the psychological horror game and anime, Angels of Death. Unlike the canon, I believe my timeline was more dark and morbid than what was portrayed. I'm not a very active or social person outside from the internet. I currently live with my biological mother and our two cats and I don't work due to my mental health. As an artist and a writer, I primarily like to do character art and drawings of my soulbonds and write stories of myself with those 'bonds.

    I consider myself a little and sex is one of my comfort things. I like Pokémon, horror mascot characters like Freddy Fazbear and Huggy Wuggy, Roblox, Minecraft and so forth.

    I'm an adult when necessary but internally I'm just a little angel girl surrounded by BIG and STRONG men who just want me to be happy.

    My soulbonds and I share a HEALTHY and HAPPY dubcon relationship; I cherish each and every one of them! ​:ficto_flag:​​:plural_symbol:​

    ≫ I mainly yell about fictional characters and how they make me feel, but I post art/ocs/writing as well! I'm your friendly neighborhood cat!!! (* ^ ω ^) Let's be friends! You can PM me about any of our shared interests at any time! Especially my hyper fixations!! Ask for my discord / and server invites.
    PLEASE ask me to filter/hashtag/mention things, I might have missed a CW or two. I use tone indicators at times, and due to my dyslexia, I sometimes don't make any sense and misunderstand/misuse words :,) Sorry!!! Mulle saa puhuu suomee jos silt tuntuu!! :D (this is a rewritten intro, just reposting it without visible edits)
    I use a screen reader sometimes!
    ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
    ≫ I refer to my sona as me/myself and her (3rd person), but inside my head (daydreams), we are one entity/person. We are the same and different, ik it's weird. Nomi and Sini are different basically. So for example when I say OCxCanon I usually mean a ship with Nomi (or another OC). I use selfship to mean specifically Nomi. When I refer to F/Os, I'm talking about relationships Nomi is in (aka me, inside my daydreams). Nomi uses She/Her pronouns, while I, Sini, use Ae/aer, which can help distinguish which "self" I'm talking about. Just maladaptive daydream things lmao. I will write an in-depth post at some point, Please ask if I'm confusing or just wanna learn more <3
    Please keep in mind: I have issues with reality/delusions/paranoia, and I do not see fictional characters as real for my OWN SAFETY, you do you though!
    ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
    ≫ I have a "private" F/O list, but feel free to ask! I don't mind doubles at all, LET'S GUSH OVER THEM!! I will mention my current mains often, here are some of them:
    ☆Jamil Viper <3, Floyd Leech <> (TWST)
    ☆Cove Holden (Our Life)
    ☆Jeremy King (XOXO droplets)
    ☆Midori Takamine <?3, Ibara Saegusa <3< (Ensemble Stars)
    (I use quadrants as a quick indicator :3)
    ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
    ≫ I'm otherkin/therian, mainly catkin, so please don't call me human or human terms!! :D I also fictionkin, but I'm lax-er about it, no need to call me their name's or use their preferred terms!! My fickin stuff is mostly me reacting to fanart with "Omg it's me! What am I doing this time?" :blobcatflower:​
    ☆ Tohru (Dragonmaid) /just like me fr
    ☆ Leo Tsukinaga (Ensemble stars) /silly
    ☆ Temmie (Undertale)
    I support all good-faith queer identities! I love xenogenders, neopronouns, etc.!! Lurk my pronoun.page for my terms, flags, and pronouns!! I'm mentally ill, but I don't want to list them publicly. I might mention my diag.s at times!! I have hidden disabilities which I won't list either, but for both: I'm open about them in private/with friends, feel free to ask <3
    ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
    ≫ I don't want to talk about (Some squicks), not really a DNI, I'm trying not to engage, I have filtered some terms related to these, so I might not see your message/comment mentioning them:
    Fandoms: MBTI Myers–Briggs is a pet peeve/I'll rage lol, Hiveswap + Friendsim, Homestuck^2, Moomin/Muumi OCs and ships (I'm extremely sensitive about how non-finns view my childhood series, sorry!), Most American TV & cartoons (Marvel/Superheros, Most Sitcoms),
    Themes: HARD NO NO NO!! UGLY BASTARDs / Unattractive male assaulters etc you want to call them, AND NO EXTREME UNDERAGE (less than 5, toddlercon, babycon) NSFW - Omegaverse / A/B/O, mpreg tpreg, etc., Female character hate/criticism ( "No women in my Male-only games/Male cast" "Male>Female characters", MLM>WLW/MLW ships, "ew woman/women", "breaks my ship", aggressive/jealousy at women interacting with your ships/ F/O, etc.) Misogyny kink/fetish is ok tho, Anti-shippers and how they are annoying/hypocritical etc. (I'm just tired of it all),
    I'll most likely update and edit this stuff constantly.
