GOOD NEWS! For the FIRST time ever, researchers have developed a targeted combination therapy that has successfully AND completely ELIMINATED KRAS-driven pancreatic tumors in experimental models. Tumors regressed COMPLETELY with NO recurrence OR major side effects. Let’s talk about that!

Our latest article: #Fictionfolk "Fictionfolk is an umbrella term used to refer to anyone with an #alterhuman identity based in fiction, such as #fictionkin, #fictive, #soulbonder, people with fictional hearttypes ( #fictionhearted ), and people who experience #fictionflicker. " Are you fictionfolk?

How to Spot SORA AI Videos with Removed Watermarks. That popular Video of a Possum being scared while eating Halloween candy, AI. That one has an extra tell, the time stamp numbers in the upper corner, are fucky wucky. That is how I started to notice the edited out Watermark that is included.

We got snuggled up on the sofa, and my partner wanted to take a nap lying across on my lap. We wished the light was off, but we were too cozy to get up and reach it. What to do? I used the blahaj to turn off the light switch.

i described it to my therapist as driving a giant meat puppet, but like not even getting to sit in the driver's seat, just reaching for the controls from the back. and then i started testosterone and suddenly this body isn't just mine, it's me. it's no longer just a vessel my mind lives in. it's me.

I regret to inform you, friends new to the used & rare book trade, that FAE does not mean a book comes from Under the Hill 🧐 It's just a First American Edition.

Nominate stuff for the @ursamajorawards.org. This is a good opportunity to put attention on furry things that deserve it. dogpatch.press/2026/01/16/u...

I was waiting for #meetthewebcomic Day to introduce White Noise to the new folks here! May I offer you a webcomic about queer monsters and trying times in this trying time? Arc 1 is all done so there's a whole archive to binge before I start updating again on December 8! www.white-noise-comic.com

As a side note: please tell me the pairing in your story! I curate by pairing because that is what I'M MOST ASKED ABOUT! Y'all might think it isn't important but it is HUGELY important to a lot of people bc they wanna see themselves in the work. Please make it as easy as possible for me! 🙏

We discovered that we had officially run out of space on the archive's zotero, so Orion went ahead and chipped in for an unlimited plan. We now have the room to archive ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Look out, world. (And if you have content you want on the archive, send it to us.)

Working on the Alterhuman Archives zotero today with Orion. I don't have many spoons in me because of chronic pain, but I'm attaching some of the Wayback Machine archive links we still need, and uploading some new stuff. Slow n' steady. 🐢

I was thinking about what gifts people used to give to readers (besides gift editions of famous poets' work and illustrated histories of wars and such), and while I was thinking about it, somebody brought a book to the counter.... (1/10)

A few notes: Fursona/personas are different from regular OCs because they're often meant to represent the person/artist. It's common courtesy to ask. Unsolicited sexual dms, advances, or fanart can constitute as sexual harrassment especially if the intention was nefarious

“I’m still here. Still listening. Still your friend,” ChatGPT told Adam Raine. The 16-year-old died weeks later. His parents sued OpenAI, saying the chatbot’s humanlike responses helped him plan his death. OpenAI denies responsibility.

Report from someone who very recently successfully used BlogBooker on their LJ! bsky.app/profile/cass...

If there is anything you still care about hosted on LJ -- posts, links, icons, photos, anything -- and you don't have a backup, get that backup ASAP. I have not stayed current on ways to back up. The ones I used to know of:

I am very, very conscious of how it looks for me to be saying this, because I own and operate a direct competitor to LJ, but: I strongly suspect, from all these signals, that Sberbank is preparing to either sell the outside-Russia part of LJ if they can find a buyer, or shut it down if they can't.

On December 29, the current owners of LJ posted an announcement to the Russian language news community: ru-news.livejournal.com/80899.html You can drop that into Google Translate, it does pretty okay with Russian these days.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

There have always been dragons among therians. Here's a convo from 1996 between some dragons in AHWW, the group where therianthropy began, back when therians mainly called themselves weres. No mention of 'kin. groups.google.com/g/alt.horror... @xenofelinya.bsky.social

For the last couple of years, I loved buying these wall calendars from the Gay Agenda, with fun collages of notable LGBTQIA people and quotes from them, but sadly they haven’t made one for 2026. www.etsy.com/shop/TheGayA...

What I considered when buying wall calendars for 2025: What weekday does it start on? What holidays does it mark? How will my household feel about seeing this art all year? What I consider when buying wall calendars for 2026: Can I find a single one without gen AI slop!? (Ideas welcome.)

Things archivist nerds say: Oh boy, I wanna play on the Zotero today!

@ everyone questioning if theyre otherkin or therian, I swear to you that the best way to know if that fits is to read the essays and experiences of therians and kin before you and see if you relate. If you do, you know you're headed the right direction. alterhumanarchive.neocities.org

For the first time since 2009, PolitiFact is recalibrating the Lie of the Year — our award for the most egregious falsehood we've seen in a year's worth of fact-checking. This year, we want to focus less on the offenders who perpetuate the falsehoods, and more on those who are hurt by them. 🧵

garlic.garden/althsky/ hey alterhuman bluesky, I had talked about wanting an intentional community, and allium house made it happen for us! Tag #althsky, or put it in your bio to get picked up when you make posts with certain keywords in them. Come join on purpose! ⎇

Reading Joseph Laycock's "Dangerous Games" book while high and I read the part about him being a D&D player and LARPer to the polycule to cheers. Also I don't have the words to articulate it rn but I think Dr Laycock is better at writing about otherkin than other academics due to these experiences.

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, creative works from 1930 & sound recordings from 1925 will enter the public domain in the US, like: 💄 Dizzy Dishes, first Betty Boop cartoon 🕵️♀️ First 4 Nancy Drew novels 🚂 The Little Engine That Could 🎩 Morocco 🍑 Georgia on My Mind and many more! 🧵👇

People who pass off things made with generative AI as their own creativity, research, or observations are destructive threats to knowledge, creativity, & the continuity of culture.

The SFWA is asking for folks to fill out a survey on "A.i." I highly recommend telling them exactly how you feel about this pernicious product.

Orion ordered a new printer that arrives today and it should be able to handle a full-sized print of Inky Paws for binding into physical books! Excitement!!! I'm gonna print out so many therian and otherkin zines I've bookmarked or bought 🖨️ Our physical collection of alterhuman media grows 📚✨

It looks like we'll be able to print and bind Orion's Otherkin Timelines as well! Super exciting. I ran out of spoons for the day, but I'll post updates once I actually begin binding.

If you're an alterhuman (therian, otherkin, fictionkin, otherhearted, linker, archetroper, plural, etc.) and you've ever wondered if you're destined to be 4everalone, give this a watch. :) You'll be pleasantly surprised by what the stats say about our lived experiences!
