Things are going great and they're only getting better

MONDAY AGAIN? The OT That Walks Like a Man

Hope your Monday was bright and no one stole your treats.

It’s Monday. Time to compare what we think against what each other thinks about the given topic.

Good morning, all of ya's, and welcome to the very last day of February in this, yet another year of continuing WTFery.

Sunday evening again.

Managed to leave my shell and go cross country skiing today. The rest of the weekend was full-on hermit mode, with much napping and reading in bed. As a result, the weekend chores have been neglected, apart from one load of laundry and attending to Alice's space. She was VERY concerned as soon as she heard me fussing with her litter box, and came back to her pen to chuck the fresh out of the box, and growl at the broom while I swept up the stray bits of hay ect.

It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

I too went with a sunflower, I grew it a few years ago when I lived in a homeless hostel and was very proud of it . Also Spring is coming, new beginnings , warmer weather , or if you’re in the U.K. lots more rain .

Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday .

The old man's back again

What is the difference to Putin if there are a 1000 dead or 10,000 or 100,000? Is he still in power? Is he still rich? As I've often said, the ability to act this way, purely selfishly, is a superpower of autocrats. Normal people cannot emulate it.

For Pete's Sake, it's one of those days when all the days come at once.

Friday Evening Post

Good evening.

Quo vadis, Balkers?

Fur Face Friday

Hello and welcome to another Fur Face Friday. Last week myo found all the critters who had no fluffs left to give. But one thing we do know is our beloved friends are always happy to help their favorite hoomans out with a little encouragement.

Krispy’s shelter friend Chai has a big thumbs up for us.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Friday Morning Open Thread

Do I really have to get up?

How about you? Are you ready for the day?

Thursday Evening OT

The world has gone mad and awful things are happening. The threat of WWWIII looms over us.

💙 💛

Here’s a timeline cleansing spa day pup to help you pause the doomscrolling for a little while.

Good Morning BackTalk! This seems fitting since winter has returned for most of the US, and Europe has had more than it’s fair share of storms too.

Goodbye blue sky

Wednesday Evening Open Thread

How was your Wednesday?

POP QUIZ - multiple choice

The theme of the week is Mustelidae (weasels) of the World.

Merry Wednesday, Balkers!

I am just wrapping up four and a half days off that was actually both restful and somewhat productive. I can’t remember the last time I had time off that accomplished that. How’s your week going?

"Hit the City" - Mark Lanegan (feat. PJ Harvey)

Tuesday Even ing OT

(Video link for mobile- Reptar On Ice)

🎶Hey look.

There’s some kids. On the ice.

What’s a dinosaur to do when there’s kids on the ice?!

Quick! Somebody call their MOM!!! 🎶

Classic.

Apparently today is a big deal, if you’re really into 2’s.

Some Shifts Needed

I may not be capable of being around the next week or so, international events & helpless enraged tantrums dependent. If anone can handle my Tues-Wed evening threads and Blaurgh!Talk, I'm probably going to be stomping through the Dacha, raging, raging against another dying of another light. Be back a.s.a.p.

Monday Open Thread - 18% Lazier Than Usual

Ice dragon! spotted outside the Northwestern University Anthro office

Welcome to the weekly discussion thread. What topic is on the agenda for today? Let’s take a look.

Gooood morning, everybuddy. Seems like the weekend left us behind too soon. Except some of us have the day off. Except also some of those some need to Get Shit Done and have unpleasant doctor's visits, so it's definitely not weekendish anymore.

Sunday Evening OT

Good evening! Another snowy day up here. I was up north of the city, and the blowing snow was something. There were a few cars off the road, but most people were slowing down and driving for the conditions.

Depending on where you are, you might have a long weekend. Are you finishing up the weekend, or sending it into overtime?

You know what to do.

The Photo Gallery

It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.
