For context, the specific discussion of pack as intimate medium is only about 2 pages, tho lots is interesting. It's evidenced from mostly early Werelist and subreddit posts so not super contemporary

Found a new thesis on otherkin/therian, there's a whole chapter on "Intimacy and the Pack"....... ough

Y'know if the 17776 date also happens to be the start of nuclear warfare. I think that'll certainly be a grim coincidence.

We have to do it all ourselves. Go to the marches and accessible protests, call your reps, sure.

And when that ultimately fails, build your community and train like your life depends on it because it will.

I found out recently that the "death to America" thing is intentional mistranslation, and the phrase would more accurately be translated as "down with America" which of course sounds way less extreme.
Anyway death to America.

yeah, us too... I was doing the research for a bit in undergrad until it was made clear that it's an insular field with dying funding and extremely limited horizons of progress.

I just wanna learn more ... i wanna find cool new stars and explain new things. I wanna work on telescopes and images...

I miss being in Astrophysics, Space is so cool. I could've been such a good astronomist....

Wicker, Christine. Not In Kansas Anymore. New York: Harper, 2005. This book describing a reporter’s findings while interviewing various people throughout North America who are from several different occult groups. These include Wiccan, witchcraft, Hoodoo, and others. On pages 67 and 68 the author briefly quotes talking with Silver Elves, a couple in their 50s who identify as elves relating to their mental health with the couple pointing out they are functional and happy adults who work for a community college and have grown children who are also employed and well adjusted. In pages 135 to 136, while interviewing a Satanist the author asks his opinion of people who identified as elves, vampires and other magical creatures to which he comments that he thinks such people become attached onto a "a role of great magical intensity" as a means of "finding some self-worth." Finally, on pages 240 to 251 the author talks about attending of otherkin gathering in Kitchener, Canada. The author describes otherkin as "a loosely affiliated group of mostly young people who believe themselves to be magical and spiritual creatures: elves, werewolves, dragons, fairies, angels, hobbits." The author’s description of gather is of a group of adults who openly comment about feeling like misfits who seemed quiet and shy. She also commented how they came across as sensitive who didn't seem inclined to argue. She also states that, “They knew that thinking themselves elves or werewolves, dwarfs or dragons, left them open to being called crazy. They questioned themselves on that point quite a bit." She notes how no one ever tried to put themselves on a pedestal or even make themselves seem better than the non-otherkin author.

For anyone looking for the explicitly nonhuman components of this book, its entry in @houseofchimeras.bsky.social 's annotated bibliography may be of interest.

To light, it is all time at once :D

This but it's the ping from an M1 Garand

I've been writing about this, but I think real werewolves could borrow a lot more from fictional werewolves.

That mystical pack feeling is a fun narrative device but, to a degree, it could also be our reality, should we choose it.

Pack feels inherent links to each other at a certain level

RRRFFF wolves ......

"One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on the land is quite visible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise" quote by Aldo Leopold

Every day I think about this passage
