I know I keep harping on this, but oh my god this is such bad writing. This could have been a mildly interesting anecdote, but I was distracted by the comma splices, the jumbled sentences, the incorrect use of commas. It wouldn't bother me so much but this is the professional blog of a professional writer.

Also, it feels kind of pretentious, but mostly it's the writing.

(And just a personal nitpick, but I much prefer "therianthropes" to "wereanimals". YMMV, though.)
