November 13 Reanimated OT

Don't worry, the dog comes back as good as new. Which is more than I can say for me.


Or Democracy. [heavy sigh] Be careful what you wish for anyway. Everything only becomes clear in hindsight.

Midday World of Shit OT

What's the proper response to a world gone insane? Talk about anything. I'm in need of... something. Maybe a nap. Or a roadmap out of this hellhole.  

Consider this a safe place to just scream "FUCK!!!!!" as loud as possible into the VOID.
All together now...


Wednesday OT BK Your Way

Good morning from the shores of Lake Michigan. Boris bids you welcome, stop by and say hello.

The barley ripens and turns red,

The skylark sings.

Monday the Eleventh of November

The eleventh day of the eleventh month is some sort of anniversary for me, so mark me down as an excused absence. I'll be lurking in the sugarcane grove, looking all eerie and shit.

Sunday Dinner OT

 

The fall days are gorgeous but it's dark by 6:30. I think I'm going to put the Christmas lights up early this year for morale. Who doesn't feel more cheerful with twinkly lights? 




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.

Y'all know what to do by now - vent, share, enlighten, inquire as applicable. Do all that prepared citizen stuff here, whether it means getting the word out or getting enough blankets to hide under.

Fur Face Friday

Hello and welcome to a safe haven of the interwebs where the Fur Faces are always comforting and cute. Everyone in last week's comments were real charmers, so for today let's enjoy a sampling:

Double decker excitement for Teh Ruh and Lal

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.

Politics Quarantine: Notes From The Suckiest Friday

 


We've almost made it to the end of the week, but there's a lot to let out. Like, a lot. This is your designated page to rage against the dying of any important lights. Get to it.

Thursday evening open thread

 


Is it just me, or is Emma Stone's left ear a bit pointy?

Politics Quarantine: Special Edition Blaurgh! for America


Okay, folks, it's been... well, a week. We've had some seriously distressing, if not unforeseeable developments and it's healthy to have a good shriek about it. So blaurgh your anxieties, your anger, your squawking rage as you see fit. This is the place for it.

CONVERSELY, we're presumably gonna have to survive this bullshit. So if you have found any good advice, hilarity, references for relatively trustworthy media or at least places to start, outlets for your feels or opportunities for solidarity to help yourself or someone else navigate this new world of ours, drop that too. 

Thursday Morning Open Thread


 I was flipping thru channels and it’s now Hallmark Christmas Movie time.  Will they save the town of Winter Hollow and its Christmas Tree farm?

Midday OT or whatever...

This fin de siècle symbolist and decadent artist maybe didn't intend this meaning, but this work seems a pretty accurate representation of modern misogyny (same as the old misogyny). Félicien Rops (great artist, POS human), Satan semant l'ivraie:


Félicien Rops (1833–1898), Les Sataniques. Satan Sowing Tare (1882)

BT Decision 2024 (Election Content Only Open Thread): The Day After

It's the next day, and surely the process it not completely over with. What are your thoughts?


*And again, we are asking that all election and political commentary is kept in these election-specific posts, leaving the usual morning and evening OT posts free of the topic.

Hey there. Let’s find some distractions tonight.

Monday Nov.4 OT

Stress levels are high. Post something calming. Like a coati grooming a fennec fox...


... or whatever. If you need to talk it over, please get on with it.

Sunday Evening OT

 


That extra hour of sleep hit the spot this morning. Could we do this every Sunday? 

What did you do with your hour (if you fell back this weekend)? Uk friends, I think you changed your clocks a week or two ago.
