I Think We Need To Normalize Using "people" As A Species Neutral Word.

I think we need to normalize using "people" as a species neutral word.

Like idk in my brain the word people just doesn't automatically = human. To me it's just a way to signify intelligence and individuality, and to emphasize the need for respect towards another creature, not specific to any one species.

Dogs can be people, mice can be people, dragons can be people, humans can be people, birds can be people, elves can be people, robots can be people, and so on.

It's also (in my opinion) just much easier than always saying "beings" or "individuals" when referring to varying assortments of creatures.

Three hundred years, and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon.

Fun facts for flowerkins/therians! :D

The world's smallest flower, the watermeal, is so small it can only be seen with a microscope! On the other end of the spectrum, the Rafflesia arnoldii can grow up to 3 feet wide, making it the world's largest flower.

Believe it or not, broccoli is actually a flower! We harvest it before the beautiful florets open up. And if you're looking for a sweet treat, some flowers like pansies and violets are edible!

Flowers have been used for centuries to create natural dyes. Madder root can be used to create a deep red, while woad leaves result in a pretty blue.

Did you know there's a whole language of flowers called floriography? Victorians used different flowers to convey hidden messages. For instance, a red rose symbolizes romantic love, while a sunflower expresses adoration.

Some flowers, like the corpse flower, attract pollinators by giving off a foul odor that smells like rotting flesh! Not exactly the most pleasant perfume, but it gets the job done.
