The holiday season has arrived once again, and while it usually is a joyous thing, for some of us it may be a hassle. In this article Robi will give you some advice on how to handle the holidays and the stress they may cause.
Permafrost
Freezing,
everything around us has been buried under the softness,
the delicateness of longing for endless summers
For the memories of light, warm touches under the Sun
Frostbite
The icy wind and low temperatures of winter may seem like they’re trying freeze you in your place. The cold air may even feel like it’s following you and attacking you whenever it can. But that’s probably just my imagination… or is it?
Kibble for Christmas

Season's Greetings!
Season’s greetings from the members of BTSB
Why did it have to be you?

Chief Editor’s Note: Nevermore
The end of October brings with it the rattling crunch of fallen leaves, those who went out in blazing jewel-colored glory, muted to schlumps and slushing as they dissolve into the ever-growing puddles taking over cobbled stones and muddy paths alike.
This is Halloween! ..and also very sexist
Sexy nurse, sexy nun, sexy Death… The ridiculousness of the selection of Halloween costumes for women would be funny if it wasn’t so frustrating and sexism such a serious problem.
