Furring Wellbeing
SpIn group on all things animals and pets. This is a co-regulating space where we can be with our furry, scaled, or otherwise-clad friends with others who understand and share this love. Don’t have a pet but love animals? Come hang out with animal-loving Neurokin anyway, and bring a fun fact about your favourite animal if you wish. Ways we interact: Share pics, videos, stories, art, and more of your pets or favourite animals. Chat or type about how animals make your life better. Share memes, songs, or jokes. Discuss pet care and needs. We sometimes just spend time in comfortable silence snuggling with our pets together. Bonus points for wearing your favourite animal shirt, hoodie, earrings, etc.
