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! otherkinnews.tumblr.com/post/8197948...

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.

Wasn’t there a Bsky feed that only shows you images from accounts you follow? Where do I find that?

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)

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.

Most definitely. The results (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) also include the attached plot of language prevalence within these ”recent“ videos. es=Spanish th=Thai pt=Portugese en=English

Bar Graph with a title ”Recent videos (<= 30 days) in All-Time-TOP-300: language prevalence – therian“. The axis label reads ”number of videos“. Spanish has 185 (96.9%), Thai 2 (1.0 %), Portugese 2 (1.0 %), English 1 (0.5 %), and Unknown 1 (0.5 %)

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). #therian #otherkin

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 Same for ppl not knowing therian is abbreviated (from therianthrope)

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. #therian #otherkin Source and more details: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Graph showing the recent uploads in all-time top 300 per days for the search term therian. There is some minor activity between Feb 2 and Feb 10. After that, it rises to reach its peak on Feb 19 with 20 uploads. after that, it more or less steadily falls back down up to Mar 03.

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. #therian #otherkin doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

A plot showing the »Recent uploads in All-Time-Top-300 per day for therian«, with videos uploaded on the y axis and day (UTC) on the x axis. The visual median is around Feb 19 or Feb 20 with peaks at 20 videos per day.

Graphs showing the age distribution of the all-time-top-300 YouTube search results for »therian« on YouTube. The age graph shows a significant flat bit close to age 0 (consisting of recent uploads). Only at around 60 % of the graph's length, the graph curves upwards to a linear ascent, showing a somewhat regular distribution of uploads up to age = 1000 days. No significant amount of videos above the age of 1000 days appears to be in the top 300 search results.

apparently there was some therian meetup that may have been fake in Barcelona that thousands of non-therians went to, I can't find much coverage on the event specifically but this reaction from an outside perspective is wild to watch and i hope this doesn't happen in the US
