Hey guys,

Happy therianthropy day!

As is our historic custom, therianthropy day is celebrated on the first full moon in November, which is today on the 27th .

To quote @BearX who posted this back in 2017:

I was unable to attend it, although I did make the two that followed. I was a broke college student and had no transportation at the time. It was fun reading the post-howl reports on the newsgroup, though.

I always felt it was a good time to have an official celebration of therianthropy, since the AHWW newsgroup itself was created in November, 1992. Very momentous for therians, November is.

It was first proposed as a sort of holiday in March of 1996, in this thread on AHWW, should you want to investigate the history. Ultimately, AHWW decided to use it, and it stuck. It went through a few iterations of names, "International Werewolf Day", and then the less species-specific "Awereness Day" (since were is the older term for therian), and after the term therianthropy caught on, "Therianthropy Day".

So, happy "Therianthropy Day". Hope it's a good one.

We never quite figured out what we were going to do for Therianthropy Day. Maybe bake a cake. Maybe be proud and celebrate your therianthropy online by bragging about your animal traits. Maybe just chill out and have that one day in a year when you let your animal side out a bit more than usual. There are no rules on what must be done for therianthropy day.

If nothing else, it's a day to be true to ourselves and remember what all this is all about.

Take care.

I can’t do much, but this morning when I woke up and remembered “hey, it’s therianthropy day!” I did some vocals for myself. I never really get to express my therianthropy, so that was a nice little thing for myslef. Happy therianthropy day!

:0 It is therianthropy day! Happy therianthropy day everyone!!!

Thank you! I haven't been able to do much other than appreciate this community as well as my own therianthropy

I didnt get to do much either. I went home after school (where I hung out with my therian friends ofc) and i did some quads and sat up in a tree and did some vocals. (only when my parents werent around bc they DO NOT support... and if they did i would have been able to do so much more :C ) Nothin much, but it was still fun and I enjoyed the time I did have to celebrate before my parents got home. <3

I was unaware there was such a thing. Nice to know.
Though I don't know what I'd even do on such a day.
