PWB Theme Thursday: Non-Participation Day!! [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-05-08
I am officially declaring today a Non-Participation Day. A day to rest. Unplug. Recharge our collective batteries. In the crazy world we currently live in, dropping out is sometimes the sanest thing to do!
So stop. Smell the roses. And take a little time-out time with me today :-)

Welcome to PWB Theme Thursdays! If you’ve never visited or commented in a PWB (Pootie/Woozle/Birdie) diary before, come on in — the water is fine, and the folks are always friendly! A few quick guidelines: No trolling the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.
Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.
When it comes to problems, we may just have someone with experience who can help. So ask!
Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
There is no such thing as stealing a photo around here, but if you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.
The animulz have many ways of not participating. Sleeping, of course, is always a favorite!
There are many, many other types of non-participation too. You can meditate on the awesomeness of nature:

Or you can just hang with a friend:

Some animulz prefer to check out pharmaceutically:
Or self-isolate for complete relaxation:
Surprisingly enough, dozing on bananas appears to be a perennial favorite:
One particularly stealth way of avoiding participation is feigned ignorange:
Hoomins often non-participate by indulging in a little gardening:
Cats enjoy gardens too, but generally they prefer sprawling to weeding:

Massages are always a good way to unwind, too:
Sometimes pooties are even willing to help :-)

So remember, if you're overwhelmed by everything, it’s okay to take a break! Take a little nap,
Indulge in a favorite activity,
And don’t forget to smell the flowers!!! Happy Thursday, all!
