How you doin’ dogfuckers? I’ve been out as zoo for years under my main name, 007[obfuscation]Bistromath. Not really worried about people knowing that, it’s just nice to make things more irritating for people who want to be irritating. I’ve rarely been in community with other zoos bc of tisms, but I’ve argued about it online pretty much since I had a keyboard and it’s always nice getting those little thank-you-for-your-service PMs from closeted zoos who see you getting yelled at.

Just wanted to check in here. My first really strong attraction to anyone else was to my dog when I was six. Zoo is so important to me that I have a little gold chain with a zeta and I unironically consider it basically a religious symbol. This one is about so much more than sex to me. It’s about even more than love. I worship dogs. I think they’re here to teach us a better way to live. There’s several other species I’m attracted to and I basically want to get the juice out for anything that wants the help, but dogs are so important to me. I want to be a dog. Somewhere inside I am a dog. That’s why the name for my fursona I’ve just barely started having feels more appropriate than my main when I’m being max volume para.

It’s been really painful, moving between a long series of living situations where it wouldn’t be practical to get a dog. I haven’t actually done zoo, or even just cared for a dog the normal way, basically since I was a kid. I feel like I’m not living the most important part of my life, and that sorrow screams through even the massive amount of trans joy I’m experiencing lately. Because I’ve never had community with zoos, I also notice that when I try to connect, I always have a feeling of bungling into a movement that isn’t for me. It feels like there’s a few different popular ways of being zoo and none of them quite feel like mine.
