This is Mrs. Florence Bell, the first nurse to go to the Royal Veterinary College of London. This is a cigarette card from my collection and in the info about her on the back it says “the more she sees of humans, the better she likes animals”. 1938.

To any creature that feels ashamed of their inhuman desires, don’t be.

Wolves will always feel hunger.

Lions will always crave the chase.

Vampires have always drank blood.

Dragons have always burned their enemies.

Hunters itch for the hunt.

Be yourself, even if yourself is abnormal and disgusting.

Bare your teeth and snarl. You are not alone

Sometimes I genuinely want to reblog some of these posts just swapping every instance of "human" for "gay" and "misanthropy" for "homophobia," because it really puts it into perspective.

"But of course I know there are good humans out there -" Saying something to the effect of "Gay people are horrible" and then following up with "but of course I know there are good gays out there <3" doesn't actually make you not homophobic.

"But humans have actually done bad things that destroy the planet -!" 90% of my mom's internalized homophobia stems from real gay people she knew who intentionally spread HIV to other people, and that being her only exposure to the queer community before, like, me. Do you think that makes it fair for someone to be homophobic? Because a small proportion of the gay community does terrible things? Like, no, right? So why do you think it's fair for you to act misanthropic because a small proportion of the human species does terrible things?

every time you, as a nonhuman, say something like “humans are a plague, who the hell would want to be one?” i am moments closer from breaking into your home and scruffing you between my teeth and dragging you into a FUCKING LIBRARRYYYY.

you are why anthropology is so hard to decolonize.

if you want to SEE that humanity is not inherently evil and retroactively shift the focus of humanity away from the greed that exists in Eurocentralized doctrine, you NEED TO LEARN.

please. if it’s too much of a hassle to go to your local library on and off, go once, get a card, and install Libby on your phone. or any other service that lets you access your library remotely. if you can’t do that? go on Archive.org. borrow a book. read it. you can’t be assed to read? go on are.na and fall down a rabbithole. I don’t know what to tell you. Don’t open your mouth again until you’ve come out of this radicalized and ready to see the compassion and genius that exists in the human form.

i see a lot of posts made by nonhumans harping on human kind. one thing that will always amaze me is that they often go out of their way to help those of different species.

turtle in the road?

dog in a lake?

deer stuck in the mud?

humans ARE kind.

TW: basically, anything and everything(kinda trauma dumping, my b)

do not comment some "I didn't read the whole thing but-" shit. You will not get a nice reply.

(I apologize if this is just rambling or has bad grammar/spelling, i wrote this while very angry and shaking)

"Misanthropy is bad because-" shut up, actually shut up. I don't care about your reasoning, shut. the. fuck. up.

"Misanthropy is a psychological and social attitude of hatred or distrust towards the human species. Misanthropes do not hate specific people, but they hate the qualities that make people human, such as selfishness, intolerance, or unwillingness to change" - google

I have hated human since I was a child (before I knew I was none human). Since my nazi father tried to make me like him. Since my family called me a retard for my autistic traits. Since I was bullied in 2nd-9th grade. Since my family laughed at me for being queer. Since my dad told me he'd call me a man when I grew a dick. Since I was groomed/sexually abused at 14-16. Since I was 9-13 and being asked for nudes online. Since I got stalked. Since my first "asexual" girlfriend raped me. Since I watched a cop beat my black cousin for having a bb gun. Since I watched my dad kill a puppy. Since I had to break a chair over my dads head to get him off my sister. Since my best friend was shot and killed on my 16th birthday and my mom was mad at me for crying. Since I was heavily addicted to pain killers and no one helped me, they just ignored me cuz "junkies are just like that, they don't want help they just do it all again".

My c-ptsd and BPD caused me to develop a phobia of humans/human interaction and a phobia of being perceived, I barley went outside for 3 years.

that fear turned into hatred. I can leave my house now and I will fight every single person that makes the world we live in worse. This hatred was caused by trauma and if you think that's wrong, fuck you, do not interact with my posts at all.

“You are a misanthrope? YOU MUST HATE ME!! I HATE YOU TOO!!”

Misanthropy: Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, or distrust of the human species, human behavior, or human nature. A misanthrope or misanthropist is someone who holds such views or feelings.

I won't hate you if you are not an ass. Most misanthropists won't actually. There is not only one sort of misanthropy, there are multiple. I personally have a dislike and distrust towards humanity.

(Also, what's up with the alterhuman community changing the definition? <- a non-human folk)

So a young girl shoots up a school and the whole radfem community is to blame, but males being responsible for 97% of violent crimes and its just a human problem?
