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.

Too much just ain’t enough

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

Monday Morning Ugh Again Thread

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

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.

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.

SUNDAY OT

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.

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.

Blaurgh! Talk

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.

Wednesday Evening Open Thread

How was your Wednesday?

POP QUIZ - multiple choice

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

I want flatlands. I want simplicity. I need your arms, wrapped hard around me

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?

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.

“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list…”

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

Monday Morning Open Thread

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.

Sunday OT

It’s two days until Twosday.

Still breezy here with a side of rain .

Blow through and leave your thoughts , days plans , weather issues or anything that your hearts desire .

Thursday evening open thread

I went to Prince Edward County for the weekend, and while driving around, my friends and I came upon the largest number of swans I have ever seen in one place. There were Canada Geese and ducks too. Someone was feeding them, so that was the draw.

So here are some shots and video (turn up the volume for all rude noises);
