Malik Greatly Disapproves. Again.
[It's been a while since Malik's spoken up on the network but this is something drastic to him and it needs addressing.]
It has been recently brought to my attention that the education system of modern times is sorely lacking in a number of regards.
I was told that beyond the basics of reading and mathematics anything else was not important and was not even taught, and this desperately needs to be rectified.
We may be learning magic and other such things from our overlays, but there are areas that are horrifically left by the wayside in this arms race we have entered in to.
I may not know much about history as it is from most of your perspectives but there has to be educators among us or at least those who will be willing to step up and help the children among us not return home uneducated louts who respond to the idea of mathematics or reading with "why should I care?" or "it is too difficult".
[He's not sorry Phillip. This is probably your fault kid.]

A werewolf. That's... unusual to mention so quickly.

Ah, well. In the version of London I come from originally, werewolves, vampires, and ghosts are in fact part of society, integrated in and registered properly. And I don't really see any reason to hide the fact, here, when knowing could help someone, and not knowing could hurt someone. I'm mostly not dangerous, so if you see a tawny wolf wandering around liminal space, you don't have to worry. Because of this handy psychic network, I can even still communicate in that form.
