New thread, now there's a cormorant perched on it. Look out, when there's one cormorant, sometimes there are more.

One of my main issues with certain (mainly younger and more inexperienced) therians is that they often have a lack of knowledge about their theriotypes. I think this is highlighted best with wolves, given that there already exists so much misinformation about them, and they're generally seen as being 'cool', 'edgy', and otherwise desirable theriotypes.
However, the way I think this should be dealt with isn't through hostility and frustration, but rather through constructive education. Again using wolves as an example, if people think they're a wolf therian and are into all the alpha, howling at the moon, starting their own pack, etc. kind of stuff, then educating them as to the reality about wolf pack structure and communication should take away that feeling of 'coolness' from them. If that happens, then they can either be honest with themselves and admit to their therianthropy being a phase/roleplay, genuinely and carefully develop a therian identity from accepting and relating to this information, or just ignore it. Of course, the only bad option here is the latter, and although it's probably the most common reaction, it's better than not attempting to reconstruct their views at all, or being hostile (leading to defensive dogmatism).
"We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we deliberately and mistakenly perceive it to be––the mythologized epitome of a savage, ruthless killer––which is, in reality, no more than the reflected image of ourself." – Farley Mowat, Never Cry Wolf

Hey guys, I'm back from Wildwood Crest. I missed you all and I wish you guys where at the beach with me. So I will check back later. See ya.
I saw a cormorant the other day and got way too exited since they are quite rare here. (Of course the fishermen think otherwise since they are loud and shit everywhere) I'd say let the cormorant invasion begin.Originally Posted by Kerguelen

Ok, So I put in another Job Application. This time I put one in for the Howard Johnsons Hotel that is right down the road from my house. So lets hope that I can get a job this time. I have to go to the hotel tomorrow and talk to the people there. I hope I can get this job because I really need a job and money.
