Everyone: "Find your inner spirit animal"

My inner spirit animal:

@Natasha_Jay using the phrase "spirit animal" is appropriating native american cultures

A close enough approximation that doesn't appropriate cultures is finding your fursona
@gwenthefops @Natasha_Jay
I'd say the closest is a familiar not a fursona.

@gwenthefops @Natasha_Jay

What’s it called when Native people appropriate settler cultures?

@Natasha_Jay

Totem, power animal, spirit guide, familiar, ghost animal… this is such a pan-human concept! It even appears in monotheistic studies.

Unfortunately, my inner guide is apparently a dust bunny.

@Natasha_Jay

insider tip:

any* animal is allowed on the bus if you declare it is a 'service animal.' you do not need to provide documentation and the operator is not allowed to question you.

* yes, ANY animal
