Hi all, our July discussion is going to be this weekend! Apologies for the late notice. Details below:
On July 9th at 12:00 PM Central Time, Citrakayah and bloodmuffins will be holding a moderated discussion about therianthropy on IRC. The topics will be:
1. Do you get cravings for specific foods because of your therianthropy? To what extent do your diet and your theriotype's diet overlap? 2. Are there any sounds you tend to make that correspond to your theriotype and not to normal human noises? Under what circumstances do you make them?

Hi all, just wanted to share an update that due to scheduling conflicts, we will be canceling August's STDC and will resume in September. This is in part due to Othercon this weekend, so I hope to see you all there instead! ^^

Hi all, due to low attendance and realizing this is labor day weekend for US folks, we decided to push this discussion back to September 18th. I'll post another reminder closer to the day of as well, but wanted to let you know so you can block out the time if you'd like to attend. I hope to see you there ^^
