Due to poor attendance in February, we have rescheduled the STDC for March 9th. Details are below.

On March 9th at 12:00 PM Central Time, I and Bloodmuffins will be holding a moderated discussion about therianthropy on IRC. The topics will be: 1. When or under what circumstances do you feel least like your theriotype and what does this feel like relative to what you would consider normal for yourself? 2. How did meeting other therians change how you approached your identity and experiences?

To join, go to https://www.rizon.net/chat and type "#stdc" into the channel field, then your preferred nickname into the nickname field. Then, hit connect. There is no password. You may have to add some random digits to the end of your nickname; Rizon is a large server and some nicknames may already be registered. Please note that when not in use the channel is locked. This means that outside of shortly before the chat starts, during the chat, and shortly after it ends (if people linger), it will be impossible to say anything in the chat.

1. If you view therianthropy as being due to spiritual phenomenon, and practice some sort of religion, do you view the two as being integrated and if so how?" 2.
