me, a dog: pls do thing?
me, a dog: no plan!!!!
me, a dog: only do

me: let's make plans to do THING
everyone: YES
also me: I am going to become an immobile cuddle object with no sense of time

also I've been treating tanuki as my name since the start of 2018 and it has only made my life better. it was just a furry nick til then, but most people in my life called me by it anyway.

my real name is gendered and I've never connected with it, it's always been like a mushy bit of food stuck in my teeth.

I guess I just realized I can call myself whatever and it's cool??? it was awkward at first but

everything in my life is awkward a little bit

I'm Tanuki, hello!

I've been dropping the "-san" from my usernames and using heytanuki for a while, and noticed that back when I signed up on meow\.social I used the -san

visually I love that name (no descenders! typographical bliss) but also

- it's Japanese and I'm not (young me thought a reference to the kids' rhyme was cool)
- it gets translated as Mr (it's not), & I'm done with masculinity for myself
- hey + my name is cuter

so I'm distancing myself from it

y'all are all very nice and adorable/cool/awesome

that is all

a candidate in an interview called me 'they' this morning, unprompted.

was this just not assuming, or are they more aware than most? maybe I'm just throwing off transness vibes that hard? who knows

i just drew a thing! let’s make #introductions

hello i’m tanuki, i’m a tanuki. very bad at time management. soft they/them friend. trying out instances. 💖
