I’m a California expat living in rural Maine with a dog, several cats, and waaaayyyy too many chickens. I love to dabble in arts and crafts (some skill, no expertise) and am deeply unserious.

We are fickle. We can use the meme war to distract and regroup, right?

Yeah but he’s transitioning to another job… and I want to know if there’s any difference in the paycheck. He probably has some sort of contract in place….

Same, Li’l Bit: I don’t know what’s going to happen next either.

I fell into the Facebook rabbit hole for a month and it’s still so unbelievable. Protests were awesome but so weird to realize that the media really wasn’t going to report much and is still drastically underreporting the numbers: “Thousands marched” when the numbers are possibly over 5 million.

All that concerned pearl-clutching leads to hand spasms.

Is it woodpecker resistant?

Yeah, but they’re kinda old so probably better as bone broth or stew.

It’s awful. I am so ashamed. Zelenskyy is about as heroic as I can imagine a person could be and we have failed him and I can’t stop crying.

Thank you. I’m so upset about what happened today, and the articles about how appalled everybody is interspersed with kitty pictures gives me hope.

I’m so upset. “You’re being disrespectful, please grovel.”

That was horrible, so disrespectful.
Unfortunately, we’re such a split society both sides will probably say the same thing.

Bake brownies?

If you’re feeling the pinch, I’ll bake up a bunch of sweet potatoes, then add some (mix/puree/blend) to a bunch of eggs, maybe some oatmeal, spices and blueberries. Bake or microwave, pour on some maple syrup and it’s an easy breakfast. Minus the syrup, you can share with the girls.

… Sure, this is worst case scenario but this is not something to enter into whimsically. They are wonderful, funny, interesting and charming little modern dinosaurs and the eggs are better, but it’s a huge commitment and not an inexpensive endeavor.

…You will have to find chickensitters if you ever want to go anywhere, worse if chicken math gets you. You will do everything right and they’ll die anyway, but they’ll bounce back from being incredibly maimed, even if it’s by each other, and then you will have house chickens….

Dude, just pay for the eggs. Chickens are not cheap and everything wants to eat them. You will spend all your money on hardware cloth, this week’s infestation, and feed. You will have to become your own veterinarian. You will have to dispatch things yourself.
