Mendhi Evening Open Thread
Hello Backtalkians. Dishes are piling up and the garbage pickup was missed this week. Have you guys even looked at the chore board? Straighten up and fly right. You're making communal living look like a joke.

All I ever wanted….
It’s Monday which means it’s time for another discussion post. It’s always interesting to learn what other people think about things.
Monday Memorialing Open Thread
Good morning, one and everyone. It's the last Monday of May and in the States, it's Memorial Day. Which is about people who died securing freedoms which we still don't all have, but often also apparently about slashing prices and trying to set the house on fire. 'Murrica is an odd place.

Sunday Evening OT
Enjoying the last hours of lovely weather before the first "heat event" of the season rolls into town tomorrow morning. The good news is we were supposed to start the provincial standardized test, which is online for the first time this year. However the site is glitchy and terrible, so it's closed tomorrow and Tuesday while they perform "further tests." Our government is completely incompetent, but on the upside, it's looking like we might not actually have to do the stupid tests at all, but for sure not tomorrow in a heat wave in classrooms with no a/c. It's a small win but I'll take it.
Anyone else celebrating small victories this evening*?

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.

Fur Face Friday
Today is Nothing To Fear Day, where we commemorate Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inaugural address, in which he famously said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." The world is a scary place, perhaps more now than ever. It's easy to be paralyzed by dread and anxiety. Today, take the opportunity to consider how you can push back against panic and despair. You might draw some inspiration from last week's furry friends. Like Eva, who valiantly fought a mountain lion to save her human. And thankfully lived to cuddle another day.

It's Wednesday
Fucking horrific news yet again. Abort the NRA is about all I have to say. Anyone got anything? Uplifting or venting or anything to share?

All evening the softest sound-
The cadence of white camellia petals
Falling to the ground.

It's Monday, So Wipe that Smirk Off Your Face, Rebel Scum! OT
Howdy howdy. Howd it go today?
Star Wars premiered on May 25th, 1977. I didn't see it until sometime in late summer after I turned 7. I remember waiting in the loooong line for tickets and wanting to go home about 10 minutes after we got there.

I love this guy's channel. Check out your local flea markets; you may find a faberge egg.

Technically it started on Wednesday Night. After a hour and 30 minutes I realized it was a them problem not mine.

Monday OT - Books and Stuff
Happy day! Read anything good lately? Hopeful you'll list books, but it's 2022, so feel free to post readings from whichever medium you want, be it physical books, audio, mags, ebooks, twitter, tea leaves, tarot, zodiac, etc.

It’s time to have another group conversation. Our likes, our dislikes- it’s what makes us all unique.

Hello and welcome to another week in the world. Time to relinquish the bed to the professional nappers in our lives and go back to work.

Sunday Lunar Eclipse OT
Tonight it's the first lunar eclipse visible in the Americas for 2022. I think it all kicks off around 10 pm EDT and should be visble in most places on the continent as long it's a clear night.
Sky-watchers across the Americas and in parts of Europe and Africa will have front-row seats to a nighttime spectacle today and tomorrow: one of the longest total lunar eclipse of the decade https://t.co/06PPyLu7RP

Fur Face Friday
Hello and welcome to Fur Face Friday the Thirteenth, where all the scary things you’ve seen this week are soothed by the magic of cute. Last week all the critters gave good face, and the soulful gazes just kept comin’.
If Krispy’s sheltercat friend Panda wants to find home, all he has to do is look to Tigger.
