Content warnings: For this post on Otherkin News, none. For the linked OtherkinRants blog, profanity. It could unpredictably have virtually any kind of topic that could be upsetting.

June: A blog named OtherkinRants opened on Tumblr.com for venting about one’s frustrations in the otherkin community. The blog accepts asks and submissions, whether anonymous or not. The administrator(s) occasionally state that they have cut off certain exchanges or banned certain topics in order to prevent flame-wars and harassment, so it's not that kind of blog.

Content warnings: Some of the links talk about how wild dolphins are abused in captivity.

This is a follow-up on an earlier post in Otherkin News, "Personhood and rights for dolphins in India." The event in question was reported in increasingly confusing ways by many newspapers and blogs. After a while, an io9 article cleared up the confusion: "No, India did not just grant dolphins the status of humans." India passed some laws to protect dolphins, but didn't legally categorize dolphins as non-human persons. There are some animal rights organizations fighting to put certain smart animals (including apes) in that legal category for real.
