The Three Phrases

It's been a while since a poem was posted. Just made this poem, so it's likely bad, lol.

- Shay (They/it) 🐾

Tw/cw: animal abuse (not mentioned by name), biting, scratching, growling, and hissing. [Not sure if all of these need warnings, but they are there, so yeah].

Caged and Chained Animal

We are caged like

Dangerous wild animals.

We are chained up like

Aggressive tamed animals.

Not wild and not tamed.

We bite at the cage

And the chains

Hoping it would help

Us get free from them.

Not wild and not tamed.

We growl as people get close

To our cage and our chains.

We hiss as they get closer

To our cage and our chains.

Not wild and not tamed.

We are caged and chained up

To protect others from us.

However, it doesn't protect

Us from ourselves.

Not wild and not tamed.

We aren't safe from ourselves.

We bite and scratch ourselves.

To feel something other than

The fear and anger that comes from being

Not wild and not tamed.

Tw: sex mention, technically nsfw(?) Not in too much detail, but talk about sexual stuff. Also, slight(?) exotrauma to do with sexual trauma. Hypersexuality and sex repulsion (probably not technically tw/cw but still)

Edit: We mostly try and keep more nsfw stuff off of our blog and account, but yeah.

Do any beings have tips for dealing with hypersexuality and sex repulsion at the same time? (Also, just tips for hypersexuality that don't involve actually "giving into the urges" [that's probably not the right phrasing, but we are tired and dumb rn]).

This shit is so fucking annoying and what makes it even worse is that as far as any of us know in this life and body we never went through sexual trauma, but some of us (overall pack) did in past lives. (All of us in the ShaySubpack did experience it).

SAYING "HUMAN" TAKES AWAY FROM WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO MEAN

There are plenty of beings that are not human or not fully human or not human "in the right way" (all of these fit under alterhuman) and they are not less than or bad for not being human. We are not human.

STOP USING HUMAN AND SIMILAR WORDS LIKE THIS PLEASE

(We are probably gonna end up deleting this reblog and just blocking this blog/account cause we don't want to deal with those who use human like this)

- Shay 🐾

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

For those who might be wondering, we did it.

- Shay 🐾

We need to clean a room, do any beings have any tips? (We need tips that keep in mind that our issues are mainly from AuDHD and chronic pain rn).

- Shay 🐾

Can people send us asks?

Anything but donation asks and hate asks are "allowed."

Ask us about our plurality, our nonhumanity/alterhumanity, our misceverse identity, lgbtq+ identities, anything really (except for the previously mentioned stuff).

Please, we wanna talk about stuff with people so badly, but we need the motivation and others to want to hear/read about it. (Hope this makes sense).

Rebloging to spread this as we mostly can sadly only speak English in this life so we can't really join.

THE DAY OF LANGUAGES!!!

This 7th of May, 2025, we use our own language again!

If your language, native or not, is something other than English, on May 7th you can speak that language all day!

You’ll blog in your chosen language(s) all day: text posts, replies, tags (except triggers and organisational tags).

Regardless of what language people choose to speak to you, you can answer in your own.

Non-verbal, non-written languages (like sign language and dialects) are more than welcome! See my FAQ for tips

English native speakers can participate in any other language they're studying/have studied/know.

The tag is gonna be #Speak Your Language Day or #spyld for short.

Please submit me some language facts for me to share on this day <3

Pinned post and FAQ

Beings who know about ethical dog breeding/breeders in the USA, we have some questions.

(We are currently trying to find good ethical german shepherd dog breeders sort of around us to get a puppy so we can train [mostly professionally trained, we have a place in mind for that] to have a service dog).

Firstly, what should be looked for in a breeders?

Secondly, is it bad if a place/being breeds multiple breeds?

And just overall, how to find good ethical breeders.

Edit: Is it best to go for a working line, or does show line work fine for service dog work?

- Shay 🐾

One of our hyperfixations/special interests (we aren't quite sure which it is, lol) is service dogs.

Does anyone want to hear (or see, lol) us rant about service dogs?

If multiple beings say that they want us to rant about service dogs, we will post at least one post about service dogs!!

- Shay 🐾 (Shirley 🦮 might be in the background rn, lol)

New userbox I (the host) made.

The picture was a picture I found of a crow that is brown (it's me!!!).

- Shay (They/it) | the host, we don't have a "name" or anything for our system overall yet.

Edit: Forgot to mention that any userbox that is posted as being made from us is free to use, and no credit is required, but it is appreciated.
