It's Shirley Chisolm's 100th Birthday - Saturday Night OT

Hello and welcome to another weekendish thing, and the next to last month-end of the year.

Hello and welcome to Fur Face Friday, where we bundle ourselves in judgement-free floof cuddles. Last week’s friends were happy to show us a little gratitude and attitude to take with us before any big gatherings. This week they’re here to welcome us home.

Hannibal’s grandkitty Liza offers an open paw.

It's Black Friday in the USA, ideally spent enjoying leftovers and avoiding other humans.

Happy Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving to the USians among us; may you eat until you have to undo your pants.

Hello, folks, it's Thursday and also Stuff Yourself With Tryptophan So You Can Ignore Your Racist Grandpa Day here in the US. Or something like that. Go ahead and talk about whatever turkeys are vexing you.

Sometimes the turkey comes for you.

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.

Good morning, Backtalk.

Remembering History So It's Not Forgotten and Caturday Night Rules OT

Hello and welcome to another weekendish thing.

Friday Evening Post

Good evening.

Fur Face Friday

Next Thursday we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US. The holiday itself has terrible origins but practicing gratitude is supposed to be good for our mental health. So here goes. Last week's fur faces can remind us of all we have to be thankful for. Kiltedpadre's Cornbread and Ruby are pleased to be able to help others.

Happy Friday!

J- “Now, tell me the truth, Abigail, you haven’t been taking night classes at all, have you?”

A- “That’s right, Johnny. I haven’t…”

J- “And just what have you been doing two nights a week for the past few months?”

Tuesday Haiku

Through the town’s center

A little stream flows, bordered

By weeping willows.

Time will tell.
