**Co-improvising with the non-human** very happy to share that I am among the 15 artists selected by Musikfonds for their amazing AI Scholarship Programme. I will explore how non-human group intelligence can inform the design of algorithmic agents for musical co-improvisation. More about it here:

As a side note:
The reason why I don't have a therapist is both because I can't afford it and also because my case is a very unusual case for how this realm is and how some nurotypical humans see things like otherkinity or DID

Being shunted in a unfamiliar realm after being fractured for aeons and having to learn this realm the hard way does things to you
I still can't get used to this vessel and accidentally bump it into things
And still can't get used to how cramped this vessel is with phantom limbs sticking out and the fact that how beings socially are in this realm

I also have had to learn English as a defense mechanism (which is why I dislike it so much other than it being a pigeon language)

It's been a difficult 5 years of being here

And there's some humans I've explained my situation to and it's like they don't really comprehend properly and get concerned

And the way I also express my emotions in a more body language like manner and using different body language and less being verbal about it has also pushed some beings away (Some have thought I cared less and thought I was more upset or less thankful then I was or they thought I was feeling a different emotion then i was) except for several fellow otherkin beings in my polycule

and many seem not to know how to deal with my homesickness..

preferably someone who can do snouts and masks

Without you, every day is a torrent.
Emotions like hail,
Stinging my skin and burning
with cold.
I would walk through this frozen fire
A thousand years
For one last moment of warmth
From the heat of your love.

Being a non-spiritual alterhuman myself. I've often felt like the bridge between the atheist and alterhuman communities in lots of ways. And because of that I have decided to make a flag for non-spiritual alterhumans or what I'm calling secular alterhumans. Since technically there are forms of secular spirituality that don't involve anything supernatural. But anyways, here's my flag. I hope you enjoy it. And also, unlike my other artwork, this flag is completely public domain, and I allow anyone to use it.

Description

Secular-Alterhumans are alterhumans with a lack of belief in the supernatural. This can range from being agnostic to active disbelief in the supernatural. Such as being unsure in the existence of the supernatural, to actively being certain in the nonexistence of the supernatural.

But are capable of possessing a personal mythology for their identity, something that they can like to imagine or hope is real, but not 100% believing it as factual. They are also capable of being into secular forms of spirituality, such as meditation or yoga, without believing it to be supernatural in nature.

The red represents lack of belief. The black represents non-belief. The blue represents belief in oneself. And the white represents a secular worldview. With the atom representing naturalism. While the alt key representing alterhumanity
