The struggle of finding an ethical clip on tail being a therian is not talked about enough

Like I don’t have the resources to make one so I shop for a fake one but I don’t know which are fake or just claiming to be fake

So then I try Etsy but every shop I contact sources from hunters or trappers or fur farms or captive breeding programs or are just suspicious like hmm don’t even worry about that like OH MY GOD I JUST WANT MY TAIL BACK IT WOULD BE SO MUCH SIMPLER

But therians or otherkin having the same issue as me, don’t give up! It’s much worth the wait and some mild inconvenience to spare an animals life- you can’t be a fox and then condone the slaughter of others.

Contemplating: Ethically Sourced Necromancy

To be blunt, a donor corpse will never be accepted by broader society. While the person, their lawyer and extended family may allow for a use of remains it would take a near perfect resurrection along the lines of flawless skin, bones, hair, teeth, eyes and cognitive function, which at this point we may have truly resurrected the subject with extra steps. Anything short of this is not acceptable, even if you santatize a skeleton and coat it decoratively so it looks more like a construct the very nature of an undead person will unsettle and affect others. I am an advocate of momento morii but I am not one of direct confrontation of the living and dead in such a manner.

Thus, we turn to vermin, the legally huntable and invasive species. The domestic beasts under the invasive species blanket like cats should be avoided for similar reasons to seen above as people are connected to their pets and taxidermy can mask this but the elements are unkind to an unsteady hand in such crafts. I personally choose mice and rats as they are easily replenished and if bones are painted grey and black they blend into the backgound more while doing their work. Another benefit to some rodents is use of hands in small manipulations, opening up work to locksmiths with metal-coated hands and any form of sewer scrubbing or lost property retrieval.

Larger mammals such as possums and raccoons are useful in similar ways but their invasiveness is subject to their region and thus should be considered. If so, consider the larger ribcage a boon as it can help store items and courier them back and forth as a magical delivery service.

Many other species are unfortunately too complex or small to use. Birds would be wonderful but necormancy doesnt like fine tools like feathers typically so unless you take your time bit by bit they will likely be flightless and handless. Fish bones are useful tools in a pinch but all but impractical in the utility one would commonly look for unless you can make them swim and use the ribcage as a carrier for delivery systems like the larger mammals.

Insects are all but wholly useless, as they can cause nothing but harm or be used as a pseudo-smokescreen for evading someone hunting you down. Some insects or arachnids with venom may be utilized to hold alchemical concoctions inside them so you can inject healing potion in someone without uncorking a bottle, but the preperation for this must be extensive to manage each day.

Plant life is dependent on its utility as some necromancy can preserve plants for later use, but much of the species which are invasive or usable in an animated manner will likely cause more harm than good, and will almost always catch the ire of a druid if they are in breathing distance of the air after you've done the do.

The golden rule of thumb for all of this is consideration of local customs and laws, and always be considerate of and around graveyards.

Taybillionaire convo opened discussions of capitalist entities in the music industry and beyond. Without it, I wouldn't even know Fenty is worse than Shein on X.

I love Taylor Swift. But pls no one's an "ethical billionaire" 😭

Being put under scrutiny is only right because this is what we should do to OTHER BILLIONAIRES too.

We tend to forget, when a person has that kind of money, their entire financial environment is now TOTALLY different from us. One example would be getting a tax-writeoff through philantrophy to protect their profits. (e.g. Bill Gates)

Tax-writeoffs may vary from millions to billions of dollars.

Same thing with her carbon emissions, It's only right to talk about that. Especially at the time when the earth is at its tipping point.

Because discussions like these, reveal the truth behind our beloved artists which can go beyond just the music industry—trickling down to other billionaires like Elon Musk too.

Yes, Taylor's a good person. I personally believe that too. But that doesn't mean she's exempted from critics.

This is the time that we need to be watchdogs not just to her, but all the other billionaires as well.

And with that, I love Taylor Swift even more. Stream #ttpd

Ethical fashion | Where to shop

Okay so today we will be talking about ethical shopping, specifically for fashion so today we are going over, what is fast fashion, why would you want to buy from ethical sources, why is it okay to buy from fast fashion and where to buy if you want to shop ethically so lets get into that

What is fast fashion?

ast fashion is cheap articles of clothing made at an increasingly fast rate. Now, just because their cheap, does this specifically mean that the clothing is badly made? Well, not always, but most of the time the quality control is badly managed and so the clothing is not always the best quality. But some people don’t really care about the quality of clothing, they just want cute clothing, now I’m not going to tell you all the reasons you shouldn’t buy from fast fashion but instead all the solutions of what you could instead do if you’d like to have higher quality clothing. lets go onto that section.

Why would you want to buy from ethical sources?

What are some reasons that you would want to buy from ethical sources? Well firstly, as stated before, the quality control will be better therefore you will get better textures, less broken/ prone to breaking items and an article of clothing that will more likely match the picture you expected to get when buying. So generally it’s for you to buy clothing that you’ll wear for longer, more and for comfortability. But thats just some reasons that it would be better for you, does it help anyone else when you buy ethically? Well for one, it helps the planets, ethical brands try their best to be free of animal cruelty and to be environmentally friendly so that the planet we live on stays inhabitable. Another reason is most ethical brands also will not put their workers, and or co-workers in dangerous working conditions and give them lower then minimum wages. Finally, most ethical brands also have ethical views/ mindsets, such as:

Not stealing from artist and even supporting artist by paying them for their time and or collaborating with them by sponsoring them

they might be pro equality by supporting lgbt+, BLM and or research foundations on making the world for minorities a better place

speaks out against injustice by either spreading the word or helping other financially

These are just a few reason of why you might want to support ethical businesses

Why is it okay to buy from fast fashion?

Not everyone can afford ethical fashion, does this mean they shouldn’t buy from cheaper fashion brands that have cute clothing, No! Everyone deserves to feel cute no matter what their financial status is, just don’t do anything that is hurting you for example, if you buy forma makeup company and they come out later saying that their products have given peoples skin rashes and or any other bad reactions, don’t use the makeup. Your health comes first before anything else, yes you deserve to feel cute. But don’t put your physical health or any health for that matter, in danger in the name of beauty. So is it right or correct to buy from fast fashion brands, whos really to say? I for one am not that person to make a decision on something that is not so black and white. Also a lot of fast fashion brands have more sizes being more accesible to plus size people, again, everyone deserves to be cute and if you cannot find your size in an ethical brand. do whats best for you to be your most authentic self. But what about all the people who have taken this into factor and want to stop buying fast fashion and want to buy ehticaly but don’t know where to start? That's what the next section will then cover

Where to buy if you want to shop ethically

o There are a couple of shop I’ve gathered and I will give you some reasons as to why you personally might want to buy from them. Also some places that seem ethical but actually aren’t so just some do’s and don’t of ethical fashion shopping

Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS

Below is an interesting story that highlights the importance of not arguing with idiots.

The donkey said to the tiger:

"The grass is blue."

The tiger replied:

"No, the grass is green."

The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this, they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.

Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:

"His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".

The lion replied:

"True, the grass is blue."

The donkey hurried and continued:

"The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me. Please punish him."

The king then declared:

"The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."

The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating:

"The Grass Is Blue"...

The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion:

"Your Majesty, why have you punished me? After all, the grass is green."

The lion replied:

"In fact, the grass is green."

The tiger asked:

"So why are you punishing me?".

The lion replied:

"That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. 

The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question:"

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense... 

There are people who, no matter how much evidence we present to them, they don't seem to have the capacity to understand and are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.

When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more than these silly arguments foolish people want to have with you.

This story reminds me of a famous Mark Twain quote.

"Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"

Mark Twain
