Veshume wrote this Otherkin News article about an incident in the therian moral panic in Portugal: there are apparently unproven rumors that someone tried to take a therian to a vet, and vets responded to the rumor. Thanks for writing, Veshume!

I'm returning to use RSS, so I no longer use Bsky to follow any accounts. Since this is a functioning website, it says that I'm still following four accounts, but when prompted to list those accounts, it says that I'm not following any.

Months ago I set up Bsky “lists” to see updates from certain Bsky accounts. Today I saw that the lists incorrectly show some of those accounts as though they haven’t made original posts in weeks even though they’ve been posting all along.

1/9 Wow, since the Theta-Delta is doing numbers, I guess I should tell as much of the story as I can. Again, keep in mind that I’m recounting something that happened in a web forum 20 years ago, so I’m undoubtedly missing a few details. (thread)

Time for some therian talk. So one of the things I'm most proud of is my participation in the creation of the Therian symbol that I see so many people using today. I've got a screenshot here from some of the original uses of it back in 2004. I was not the only one that worked on this.

Fun fact: I was one of the folks who helped develop the Theta-Delta symbol about 20 years ago. It was a lively discussion in the WereList forums (some didn't like the idea of a symbol at all). I sketched out the results as the discussion progressed, & put together what became the final version. #ΘΔ

At its peak, it was above 99 %: 99.3 % on Feb 25th (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...).
Note that these are the percentages within the recently uploaded videos, not (!) all Top 300 videos. Still, it's quite high, of course.

While today's data suggests a drop from 65.8 % [1] to 28.5 % [2] overnight, re-running the analysis manually resulted in a much more expected 64.1 % [3]. I also had to reject any hypothesis I had about the cause of this morning's numbers (none of them held up to basic scrutiny).

And ... we're past the 60% mark. As of a few hours ago (today), 63.8% of the Top 300 YouTube search results for ”therian“ were uploaded in the past 30 days.

While we're here, does anyone know where therianism (the word) sprouted from. Because ppl (usually furries) keep calling therianthropy "therianism" and I can't figure out a reason why besides just not knowing the terminology well

Es falso que un libro de educación pública en México incentive a niños a ser "therians". La imagen viral esta descontextualizada.

God damn it’s weird hearing someone on NPR speak about therians.
It was on their politics podcast during their section where the presenters talk about stuff they are following in the past week, politics or otherwise, and Franco Ordoñez was talking positively about the therian boom in Latin America.

We're up to 57.6 % today. This seems to, based on a visual interpretation of the graphs, stem from both new videos getting uploaded as well as more videos from the peak around Feb 18 getting more and more views and thus moving into the Top 300 by now.
