otherkinnewsTrigger warning: Beliefs about the end of the world.
Many people believe that the world will end, suffer a catastrophe, or spiritually change during this month on the 21st, a date selected partially on the basis of a misinterpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) offers their official explanation of why the world won't end this week. NASA refutes several mistaken astronomical claims made by some believers, claims which the believers sometimes falsely attribute to NASA. NASA says that despite what you may have heard, there will actually be no planetary alignment.
I'm not aware of any groups of otherkin and therianthropes who have publicly announced any expectations or actions for the date of 2012-12-21. If you know of any, please e-mail me as soon as possible so that I can interview the otherkin and therianthropes in question in order to report on it within the week.
