You know, the current Twitter discourse about zoos in the fandom is no accident, because the intersection between the surge of moral-panicky anti-zoo sentiments, and furry raiders/displaced furry kiwifarmers creating The First Furry Government movement is no coincidence.

I'd go so far as to say that anti-zoo sentiments are downstream of deeply harmful colonialist mindsets drawing from the disgust a lot of slave owners have towards their own getting into sexual relations with a black person, and how BIPOC were seen as less than humans like animals back then. This deeply racist sentiment exists even today.

Before you reply, I want to make it clear that this isn't about animal sexual abuse, it's about a kink/fetish that has been largely maligned. Animal sexual abusers are deeply disturbed people and they need to be stopped before they harm any more animals.

@owashii@plush.city I hope so too!

So the long story short is, I almost died in May.

So around the 5th of May, I suffered the mother of all stomachaches, and I ended up vomiting at least a dozen times over the course of 7 hours. By the end of it, I was in extreme agony, and I made a choice between sleeping it off or getting hospitalized. I chose to get hospitalized.

I later learned how that was the right choice, because what I suffered was gallstone-induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis, and part of the organ had died off. Had I tried to sleep it off, I may not have woken up...ever.

I stayed in the hospital for 12 days while they put me on an aggressive antibiotics course, and monitored my heart rate, which peaked at around 144 bpm....yeah. It took a long time to finally recover.

Later on, they put a stent in my stomach wall to drain the biggest pseudocyst that had formed out of the dead organ and bacteria debris. And that stayed on for a couple of months, which made eating a bit difficult for a while. When they finally removed the stent, I ended up vomiting several times over the course of 3 days and was hospitalized on September 8th for a week.

I am still recovering from that.

So hello, it's been a while.

@werefox Wow, you are

@XerTheSquirrel hugs

@heatherhorns Hot take, but the whole concept of sorting people into 4 neat groups is grooming children into accepting and normalizing class divides and classism.

No wonder the wizarding world is a neoliberal hellhole.
