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.

Good morning, o fuzzy conceptual citizens of the internet. Drop by and share your thoughts, or lack thereof.

No, Novak, POTUS Has Just Re-Caught COVID-19, So We Don't Think Your Unvaccinated Butt Should Be Allowed Here – Sat Night OT

Welcome to the weekend.

Friday Evening Post

Good evening.

What's new? I've got to try and fix a toilet, fix a car, and finish some baseboard work.

Happy midsummer to all of you in Fur Face world! It's been a fun and friendly month in this corner of the interwebs (check out the great sampling in last week's comments) which can be summed up in this chipper greeting from Simon's neck of the woods:

Hello Neigh-bour! (I couldn't resist!)

Sing. Sing your song. Sing out loud; sing out strong.

Bon Dia! Happy (?) Wednesday

How is the week going? Does anyone keep houseplants? Tell me about your houseplants? I have a green thumb for my garden but it used to be pretty black indoors. I have been stretching my wings a little lately though...

It’s Tuesday, folks, and there’s no getting around it. Gotta get through it as best we can.

Monday, Nighttime Opine Thread - Adapt or Die

I watched John Huston's Wise Blood last week. Other than being set in the 70s instead of the late 40s/early 50s of O'Connor's book, it was remarkable in its faithful adherence to her story. Kept most of the memorable lines from the book. " No man with a good car needs to be justified!"

It’s the weekly discussion post! Come on in and let’s see how similar and how different our viewpoints are.

Hello and welcome to a new week, folks. Hope that things are looking up for at least some of us.

Evening all! Let's Talk Corvid for a Change

Morning, all y'peeps. I got nothin', so enjoy this multicultural tidbit of stuff.

The Night After the Day Before Today - Saturday Night OT

One of the fun things about visiting my grandparents was a pile of Topper Annuals that had belonged to my mum or uncle. The early ones had a landscape format which always seemed special.

Good evening.

Fur Face Friday

Hello and welcome to Fur Face Friday. Last week we visited our sweet summer children (with a nod to the winter of feline contentment). This week it’s high summer for real and everything is so very green and alive.

Krispy’s sheltercat friend Turtle is full of natural big-eyed kitten wonder.

The world, it's so very big, and I am so very smol.

Each week we share and compare tidbits about our personalities and tastes and opinions on different topics. Welcome to another round of Parley Vous? Mondays.

Gooood morning and welcome to another Monday. Time to get back on track in whatever rent-management scheme you have at your disposal. But first, stop and have a little confab with your invisible internet friends here.

Nearly posted this on GT. Oops!

Last night I rewatched Shanghai Triad for the first time since college. It's as good as I remember, but also watching art house films may be one of the reasons I was depressed. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Was young BC/C miserable because of depressing movies, or drawn to depressing movies because she was full of angst? The whole movie isn't depressing; it's beautiful to look at, the writing is tight, characters have arcs. It's easy to see why it got so much attention and nominations back in 1995. That said... I didn't feel better about humanity at the end.
