Happy weekend folks, it's almost here! Ok, I get to start mine earlier than most of you because I'm in Australia, but hang in there, it's not far off.
As usual, I'm here with some writing suggestions in case you are looking for something to post about over the weekend. I'll wrap up the weekend on Monday with my favourites post so please follow the guidelines below to be eligible. Post in the WEEKEND EXPERIENCES Community and follow the guidelines to be eligible for curation and the favourites post.
The inflexible guidelines
☑️ Use #weekend-engagement as the first tag of your post
☑️ Post in the WEEKEND EXPERIENCES community (no cross-posting)
☑️ Use photos you took where possible (I curate more readily for this)
☑️ Follow the community rules - Post in ENGLISH only (not multi-language)
☑️ Entries close at 06:30 UTC Monday 13 March (Link to UTC converter)
The (hopefully) interesting prompts
Time to die
Euthanasia, ending the life of an ill human to limit suffering, is a very contentious issue. What are your thoughts? Talk about being for or against it and the reasons you feel that way. Is there a valid use-case and if so, why? Do a post of at least 300 words and use photos you took if you can.
Meet the meat
If a law was passed that people had to kill and process their own meat for consumption (or not be able to eat it at all), would you do it or simply stop eating meat? (I mean animals, including fish). Explain your answer in at least 300 words and use images you took yourself if possible.
Time capsule letter
You can write a letter to be locked in a time capsule which will be opened two hundred years from now. What do you write and why? Answer in at least 300 words and use photos you personally took if you can.
Cave person
You're a caveman or cavegirl...what does a day in your life look like and what do you do with your time? Also, which one person would you want to be with you and why? (Just one person.) Answer and explain in at least 300 words, and use photos you personally took if you can. (They don't have to be of yourself)
Passion
Tell us what you're passionate about...Excluded is religion, crypto and gaming so don't write about them. Use photos you took yourself, not stock images, and the post must be 300 words long or more.
Curation may happen on posts that comply with the guidelines but only on quality original content. This is a chance to showcase yourself to the community and to find and build new relationships. It's about engagement with others as much as it's about posting content.

You crack me up. Thanks for being unashamedly you. !LUV
(And yes, I might think about writing to one of these prompts...)
Well, I get happy about the weekend and then, if even a hint of a thought of Monday comes into my noggin, I'm like, time to die.
But here's the thing, it's a long weekend in SA because of the Adelaide Cup, you know that cruel sport they call horse racing. Today is also somewhat of a special occasion so no euthanasia for me today, or any time before Tuesday morning!
I hope you have a good weekend and, if you get the chance and like one of the topics, have a crack at one.
All the best.
There you go, making me laugh again. !LOL
Boo! 😢
Yay! 😁 Whatever the special occasion is, "Happy Thing!" 😄

Making people laugh is a good thing I think, sometimes I laugh too but I guess I'm probably far too serious far too often.
It was a happy thing...although the thing itself could be construed as just another step into the grave, but that's how life works I guess. It went well and now is forgotten about until next year.
I'm off to the gun range to shoot today, then some macro photography is on the agenda for later. Should be a good day. I hope you have a good weekend.
I also am far too serious far too often. I'm trying to learn to make space and occasion to laugh more often. Watching videos of cats doing cute and hilarious things helps.
Life and death are so inextricably interwoven, as I have been prompted to remember this weekend. May the latter remind us of the preciousness of the former.
I hope it was a wonderful (b?) day and that your weekend is unfolding in the way you had hoped. I look forward to seeing those photos.
Death isn't the nicest thing to think about, but it's a reality for all of us. I'm one who is prepared for it, I mean from a logistical perspective and I figure when it happens I'll probably not know much about it. Certainly after it happens I'll not care. (I'll be too busy haunting people!) Accepting that death will happen helps me live more each day.
It's been a good weekend so far, just got home from a long drive in the country, some 420kms return. Found some great silo art I'll post about later in the week and took some shots around Port Broughton and Moonta. It was a nice day.
I hope your weekend is good too.
More laughing over here. Thank you ;)
Adventures: I'm glad. Look forward to seeing the photos.

Hmmm... I always appreciate your topics even if I don't have time to write or respond much. The weekend engagement has been a fun and creative challenge. It just so happens that this afternoon I have enough time to finish a little story before I leave work^^
I know you're busy and there's no obligation put on anyone to get involved; I appreciate it when people do though, so if you manage it then great!
I also hope your Friday goes by productively, and quickly, and you have a good weekend ahead.
Great.
This looks like a great weekend @galenkp
I'm also looking through the tag at some posts I missed and there are some interesting titles like: "My two nuts"
Sounds like a good read.^^
That post, my two nuts...it's a...(wait for it)...cracker!

It's time for me to sneak out of this place. But I can't keep a straight face.

I may do one this weekend. No promises lets see how time pans out first.
That'll be great if you can, but certainly don't prioritise it over other more important things.
Have a great weekend.
Factoring in electricity as it has not been fantastic of late and will make sure I take part this weekend even on generator power. What could be more important lol as I plan for free weekends as that is my specialty.
Ah, a weekend specialist!
Well, I hope loadshedding is kind on you and your genset is full of diesel if the power cuts out.
Have a good one.
Good morning friends and happy weekend.
A new series of topics to deal with. Let's see how I would fair when I stopped eating meat 😂😂
Well, it's not about stopping eating meat right? The question relates to having to catch, kill and process your own meat, should you wish to eat it.
❗ wow
I'd have to look closely again to see the rudiments and come up with a post ASAP.
These are very interesting and thought-provoking topics. Will be good to read entries on these. Cavegirl is calling on me but will see.😁
There's far worse things to be than a cavegirl, I'd say it's a legit option to write on; let's see what you end up doing huh? Have a great weekend when it finally arrives for you.
Reading on the cave prompt makes me want to imagine how life was like before civilization arrived. I do hope the cave gods would send me something good to put on writing :)
Thank you and happy weekend too.
Cave gods, or cavegirl brain...Either way, I hope you manage to come up with something.
I just did and hope it's likable, lol!
Ahhh, this one is going to be difficult @galenkp. They're all really thought provoking but it goes from hard to harder so I hope I make the right choice. That first one though.....it's calling to me, I think?
Sometimes difficult doing things deliver extraordinary results though right? I try to push people to think into areas they may not normally, or to be more creative and so on. I think these topics do that. I have some very interesting ones coming up in future weeks too.
Have a great weekend.
Time to die 🤣 the world isn't funny we all know but am not sure anyone is ready to die anyway
I will definitely participate thanks for the topic
Some in excruciating agony due to medical conditions or those in situations they can't see any way out of often are though...That's why euthanasia and suicide exist.
That's true anyway
I would love to write about what I am passionate about.
I just have to think about how to write it well.
Have an amazing weekend.
I'm sure you'll come up with some way to write it in an interesting way.
Happy Weekend!
Awesome Topics... Caveman Going back in stone age time to write a time capsule letter...hehe, interesting one's.. will look forward to read & write.
Have a Great weekend ahead.
Hi there, and a happy weekend to you also. I look forward to see what you come up with.
You gave us some interesting topics today and I'm a bit confused, don't know which one to choose. I suppose I can't write about two topics, can I? I need to pick one, just can't decide which one that would be 😕
Anyway, have a happy weekend, I see you mentioned some special occasion and some sports too. Make the most of it 😂.
You can do two if you like, for sure.
I hope you have a good weekend...I've just returned home from dinner tonight; a special occasion. Went ok, ate too much.
Thoughtful proposals about our cyclicity life -death -life thank you, Galen, for this new opportunity in the weekend engagement
Happy weekend.
Good day @galenkp!
The first 3 topics all attract me to write on them. I’m currently in a dilemma.
Let’s see how it turns out.
Have a nice weekend.
It'll be intriguing to see how it turns out.
Hope you’re having a good weekend.
Here you go.

ok I will enter this activity
Ok, good plan.
Euthanasia is a subject that has intrigued me for some time, specifically since I read that in Colombia, the neighboring country to Venezuela, euthanasia had been approved for two people who, although they were not medically hopeless, had a medical condition, with no cure so far, in which they had to live suffering terrible pain. The patients claimed that they had the right to die with dignity and to choose when to leave this plane.
Personally, I agree with euthanasia ... I found it somewhat contradictory that euthanasia can be applied to a pet so that it does not suffer, but when it comes to humans then it is frowned upon.
By the way this coming week, if they approve the proposal, that same question is going to be in the #LadiesofHive community initiative of the week. In a way I think we had the same thought... kind of like something we took from the collective unconscious.
Happy weekend.

A human should have the right to choose for themselves I guess. But let's see what others think. Some have very strong opinions.
Have a great weekend.
SuccessHello @galenkp, always attentive to the ideas that you present us to choose one of them and express ourselves, thanks for it partner.
You're welcome and I hope this weekend is a good one for you.
Thank you for always providing us with topics to write I will surely drop my entry very soon.
You're welcome. Thank you for saying thank you.
Is this a thing now?
For me yeah, I hate AI stuff, art or writing and am proud not to use it.
it's always ONE that i must write about hehehehe
hmmmm but I have to write two more posts today.... do I write yours now - or tomorrow! LOLOL
well - i'll let it stew and maybe post tomorrow :)
hope you're having an amazing Friday! mine? well.. I heard a massive CRUNCH/ tear/ RRRRRRRIP sound this morning followed by a huge crash.
yep. my front porch that is about 50 feet by 15 feet?
it is now 25 feet by 15 feet LOL sheesh. the weight of the snow just ripped the entire porch to shreds and half of it collapsed. wow. sad sad day!!!
and our massive amounts of snow has become massive amounts of rain now - and flooding is imminent. 4 more days of rain.... California is having the craziest weather for the last year!!!! and no signs of stopping!!
Who snows what snow will do!
Sounds bad though. Will insurance cover it and how long will that take considering the weather. I can't imagine the tradies (tradesmen) want to be building a porch in the middle of winter. Not a great situation.
yeah - we work at a camp - so we have our own maintenance men here - and this is camp property - so... no need for insurance - they'll fix it themselves!
but yes - i don't think any time soon! heheheh they need to definitely spend all their time right now maintaining the camp with the flooding issues.
turns out they announced tht every major roadway and highway coming into us - is closed.... no way in or out for us LOL
but that's ok - we have all that we need for now and can hunker down!!! :)
only takes a few of these things to let you know what really matters in life. - and we have had a string of them for the last 24 months that have been apocalyptic in proportions. LOL
i don't get "used" to it, but I do get more prepared for it! hehe
Ah ok, mining camp I assume, we have them here also.
One must be apocalypse-ready, as well as one can be, and adversity certainly helps that happen, or put people into th frame of mind to be open to preparedness.
A camp where kids come for the summer - & groups come with their orgaizatioms over weekemd ad stuff...
sorry - my letter M (mot M - but th eother letter) is actimg up agaim LOL
we are a year roumd camp - its such a womderful place for families to grow up - my kids have lived quite a life! hehehe
Have a happy weekend. 🤗
Have a great weekend too, hopefully it's enjoyable and you find some time for yourself.
Thank you.
It's better to search for it than just let time slip past and accept that it's gone. Time doesn't come back around.
I'd like to take this opportunity to invite to participate in this brilliant writing initiative my esteemed
@amores.sf2
These topics are creative and thoughtful. I know there will be lots of amazing entries as usual. I'm contemplating on which to have fun with. Happy weekend to you @galenkp and my W.E friends.
Thanks, there's sure to be so really good entries. Have a great weekend.
It's the weekend once again and I can't wait to respond to one of these prompts. As usual, they are amazing :-)
Thank you, I am glad you find them interesting.
Nice prompts. 👍🏼 Two or three got me right away.
That's one of the topics I've been talking a lot in the past, I don't know, like seven years or more. Maybe I could decide later what to respond.
It's a topic that brings strong feelings depending on which way a person thinks. There's been some good entries for this one already.
Happy weekend.
Hello to all of you.
Best wishes for this weekend.
Here is my participation:

Thank you and I hope your weekend is a good one.
Another Friday, other topics to share, I present my participation related to my passion:
Happy weekend, may it be productive for all. https://ecency.com/hive-168869/@nbarrios67/topics-week-144-weekend-engagement
Thanks for your entry.
@galenkp I only have to make a post on one of many right?
Yeah, just choose one. Some combine them but one is enough. Make sure you use #weekend-engagement as your first tag and post it in the community.
I just made it choose time to die as my post topic I posted it is the specific day to post?
The timing of the concept is outlined in the guidelines in this post.
Great topics
Cool.
Nice topics! That Time To Die and Meet The Meat really got me. 😅
Hope we can read interesting stuff from the community this weekend.
🥂 Have a great one!
There should be some interesting ones.
Excellent topics. Once again, thank you very much for the inspiration.
Have a nice weekend 🤗✌️
I'm glad you like them and I hope you also have a good weekend.

Ok, thanks.
Greetings, excellent initiative to awaken creativity in writing
Thanks, and have a good weekend.
Here is my contribution for this weekend's challengeHello @galenkp, I hope you're having a great weekend.
https://ecency.com/hive-168869/@dwixer/weekend-experience-the-euthanasia-syndrome
It's been a good weekend so far, but there's more to come!
Have a good one yourself.
That's good to know. Enjoy your weekend
As always good topics is served and it's been a while since I joined. I found one that I can write about. 😊
Thanks for sharing those topics.
Goodluck to others also.
You're welcome, and it's all good to have you involved.
I tried my best to explain my position. I hope you can understand it. Glad to participate again this week. Have a nice weekend.
https://hive.blog/hive-168869/@itsjunevelasquez/time-to-die-my-thoughts-about-euthanasia-weekend-engagement-144
I just read it...thank you for your entry. It's a difficult topic but you got your message across.
Yeah, I know that it's difficult but I think people must open to that possibility, you know? Thanks for reading.
Yeah, I'd not want to go on, just to say, I'm alive, in certain circumstances. I'm pro-euthanasia as I think we should all have the right to choose. If a person chooses to live a life of agony, then so be it, but if someone wants to end their suffering they should be permitted to.
Thanks again I enjoy doing these prompts. Can we have a weekday experience with some prompts too 😂
Another interesting week, congratulations to the winners in advance.
Wowww... It's already the weekend, I love the topics you've proposed... we'll see if this weekend happens, surely we'll select the topic we like best.
Thanks for motivating us to write.
Cordial greetings, you love him in the distance but not in oblivion 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing! The top is seems very interesting
Have a nice weekend stay blessed ❤️
Thank you, and have a good weekend.
@galenkp can I crack a topic here? Guess what, let's see what weekend time will tell. Hope it gonna be good a journey see ya!
Let's see if you have the time to get involved huh?
Thank you so much for proposing such interesting topics dear friend @galenkp . Here I leave my participation.
https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@irvinc/the-right-to-die
You're welcome. Thanks for your participation.
🙃 Asked for it, got it!
Happy Saturday!
Happy Weekend Joan, may it have very little loadshedding and lots of enjoyment!
Got to it before Logging Out
Now it's raining, wonder if that has anything to do with being on time 🤣
Happy weekend my friend, we'll meet you around here with new topics, greetings.
Happy weekend to you also, I hope you're having a good one.
Two topics really caught my attention but in particular euthanasia- the right to die. Maybe I'll cook up some post about it. In the meantime, I am checking out other entries.
I'm sure those users would appreciate you checking out their posts so thanks for taking the time.
Hello, here my entry: https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@giocondina/my-passion-for-reading-week-144-weekend-engagement
Ok, thanks.
Wouh I think it's super cool, I'm in!!!
Good thing I have free time to make a good post!
Free time is always good right?
It really is, I can organize my ideas with patience and make something very good... The best of the best
Wow! Another topic to write and read this weekend. Hopefully I can join and answer one of them.
Hopefully you can.
Here's my entry for this interesting theme😊
https://hive.blog/hive-168869/@poetjuet01/weekend-engagement-passions-now-and-200-years-later
Thanks.
All weekend engagement concepts are thought-provoking, but my heart loved most the “Time Capsule Letter.” With the period of opening it after 200 years, I would probably write there the deepest secrets of the world about the ancient civilization with extraterrestrial intervention.
I like that topic too...Imagining what people would make of what I said in two hundred years.
You know Sir, I am really interested about these things. Even up to present, there are some things that sounds mysterious and even scientists cannot explain. There were traces about extra terrestrial intervention but left unproved because of lack of evidences and there are more to say about scientific matters. And that, the extra terrestrial intervention are just left being told us stories at present.
There's so many unexplained things right? I wonder if we will ever really know.
I have been watching many documentaries and read things about these Sir but there are really many unexplained things.
