Freedom of Form Foundation

Last year, a flawed, art house movie called 'Wolf' came out from a little known director by the name of Natalie Biancheri in a limited release before then being released more widely on multiple streaming services. It touched a subject matter very central to our purpose at the Freedom of Form Foundation. We wrote reviews and talked about it on social media, but ultimately, our feelings, particularly among those of us who feel species dysphoria the strongest, needed a more thorough opportunity to be explained. This episode of the FFF Podcast is dedicated to that. To really go into the details, we have brought in the long time Otherkin community leader, Alynna Trypnotk, and the equally experienced Therianthrope, Erin Wolfsune, to join our host Athamanatha, who a mere couple of years ago discovered their own otherkin side. Impassioned feelings and strong language on occasion punctuate the conversation, and this is about a movie rated 'R' in the USA for the inclusion of abuse, nudity and sex, so there is an advisory of discretion and common sense in choosing who to view the referenced movie with. We do not use movie screenshots in this video slideshow for the podcast, for copyright reasons. Video and audio editing by 'Tabs' Anchor makes editing the text really difficult here and has an insufficient character limit, so for the list of links, please see our Youtube upload. 'Clean' has been selected on the assumption that a couple of swear words are not the end of the world for filtering. The movie discussed contains graphic adult content. The podcast doesn't really but it is probably hard to follow for most kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3fPGgo4AGo

In a continuation from where we left off with the topic of prosthetics in episode 10, we invited one of our friends from the Otherkin community to talk about her views on arm prosthetics, how they might improve and how they interact with her life and with her spiritual perspective as an otherkin person with a deep connection to a few non-human forms, with a nod to the healing power of art. It's our delight to talk with the inimitable and wonderful Maki Hooves. Athamanatha Kitsune hosts and Ondrik Birb brings some interesting perspectives and questions too.

The autism and animal behaviour expert, Professor Temple Grandin, kindly agreed to an online video call interview with Athamanatha Kitsune. We  cover several interesting aspects of her work and how they relate to genetics, animal behaviour, autistic traits and who has them, and coping with being different. The interview was heavily edited and sometimes goes blank while audio continues due to internet issues, but we preserved the order of the questions and answers, and did our best not to change the meaning.

It's time for another podcast episode, this is our 13th. Featuring Tyler L. Jaynes from the Humanity & Beyond podcast, along with our very own Ondrik Birb and Serathin. Continuing the 'space' theme from our 12th episode, we look at how space travel and education will fit together, and how freedom of form will help make that experience more useful. This time, our host Athamanatha Kitsune has a strange case of Unknown-Cause Microphone Echo. It's not easy to remove with our editing tools, feel free to suggest how it can be done on a minimal budget in the comments.

This episode of the Freedom of Form Foundation Podcast is brought to you by science fiction, which has the ability to increasingly transform into science fact over time; and by science facts, which are fiction no more. This episode looks into the depths of space and how freedom of form might just save the very existence of intelligent Terran life... Your crew for this voyage are the tea-drinking captain Athamanatha Kitsune, engineer Aleksia Vridos, mysterious multidimensional barkeeper/passenger Alynna Trypnotk, lieutenant Cammy and ensign Ondrik Birb.
