Backtalk: A Medium Place
What's for dinner tonight? I can't decide. Maybe QimmyShimmy can help. She makes kinda cute and hella disturbing art out of polymer clay and paints. These are the less potentially upsetting ones, but you're not me. If you're easily bothered by gross imagery, just skip on down to the comments.

Still sick. Spent the weekend watching ⚽️. It's going to be an early night.
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 evening.

Hello and welcome to the safe haven of sweetness known as Fur Face Friday! Last week's comments were full of lovely faces, including some very boopable snoots:

I've got mostly nothing. It's not hellaciously hot here (my feet are actually cold), but it is muggy and unpleasant, so I'm debating whether or not I should turn on the a/c just to dry things out.
Appropos of nothing; if the shoe fits ...
A good morning to you. Hope you're rested and bright-eyed and bu--- Yeah I'm not even going to pretend.

Hearing the cuckoo’s cry,
I long for Kyoto.

Still at the cottage, unless something odd has happened, so you know what to do.
The summer sun is getting me down. How's the weather by you?

Twists and turns
And then comes through here.

I don't know why there's no sun up in the sky... Oh yeah it's nighttime. What a dopey head.

Hello and welcome to Fur Face Friday. Last week our little buddies were getting out (or staying in) and enjoying themselves. This week they’re a little more off in their own little corners of the world.
