May Day Eve OT

Happy May Day to you, however you observe it.

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. ☀️

"Roy Wood Jr., Everybody" - LikeTrevor Used To Say - Saturday Night OT

Oops! It's Sunday PM and this is BT

Good evening! I accidentally published this over at GT even though I remembered to check that I was in the correct blog... I guess I didn't change options firmly enough. All sorted now.

Just look at that adorable fuzzy, feathery dinosaur. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/feathers-may-have-helped-dinosaurs-survive-their-first-apocalypse/

Friday Morning Open Thread

The other day I wrote a letter to the administration in opposition to the guidance in their Return to Work Memorandum (M-23-15) for both environmental and personal reasons. Here is the response:

By the time this is posted, I'll be in transit coming home from my last day of work. I'm meeting my friend A, and my retired colleague, also A (different actual names, though), and were zipping to my place to let the dog out, and then out for a bite and a beer. Probably to scene of my unfortunate incident last friday.

Blaurgh!Talk

Justin Jones Says There Comes a Time When Time Itself is Ready for a Change - Saturday Night OT

Hello and welcome to the weekend or something like it. We've somehow gotten to the middle of April and I have no idea how it happened.

Fur Face Friday

Hello and welcome to the weekly celebration of cute we call Fur Face Friday! Here's some adorable pals who were very much making themselves at home in last week's comments.

Cooper, Timmy, and Wish make a wonderful welcoming party chez myopicprophet.

In case you're new here, favourites are chosen by one of the Snout Selectors (facw, k2b, Hannibal, leahaven, and myopicprophet), entirely on our own whimsy. WHIMSY! However, in the interest of solidarity, we try to select one dog picture and one cat picture (minimum!) each week. Other pets will also, of course, be considered. We love all your rats, bunnies, ferrets, and other furry, feathery, and finny pals. WE WILL NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CUTE.
