Otherkin News

Hi, I see that you created your blog just today, welcome to Dreamwidth, and good for you for trying out something new! You're right that neither furries nor therians use litter boxes. Nobody who writes or reads this blog believes that they do. I agree with you that the bills would likely be harmful to young students.

Since you're new on Dreamwidth, here's an etiquette tip about how folks usually act around here. This isn't like a news site where readers go off in the comment section unnoticed. The comment area on a blog post here is a discussion forum where the writers and readers of the blog have conversations directly together with one another. Your replies go to the person who wrote the blog post, which in this case is myself. That means when your message says "you," it comes off almost as though you're telling me-- the innocent blogger!-- to grow a pair, even though you meant that for the Republican legislators who I was reporting on. I understood what you meant, but it didn't feel so good to get that in my email inbox today.

Don't worry about that too much, though, because every social media site has its own unique set of unwritten etiquette rules that longtime users take for granted. This is one of the best social social media platforms out there, in terms of connecting directly with real people through one's own words and original writings, instead of reblogs and algorithms and bots, so I'm delighted to see you trying out this site for the very first time today, and I hope you'll continue to settle in and stay here. Again, welcome!
