Senate Committee Approves Ban On Intoxicating Hemp To Take Effect In One Year A Senate Committee has approved the agriculture spending bill, which would ban intoxicating hemp products, but implementation would be delayed for one year.

Well this is terrifying. I do not sell any THC products, but naturally derived CBD products do contain a small amount of THC. It’s unavoidable, which is why existing law sets a cap at .3% THC. Exceedingly low! But changing it to “absolutely none allowed” would put me and many others out of business.

WTF?

It retrospect, putting a cam in the chicken nesting box that is vaguely egg-shaped might have been a mistake. The ladies keep trying to sit on it.

This Is Just To Cloaca

I have checked
the butts
of the chicks
in the brooder

and
some of them
had
lil poopy butts

They're clean now
so pink
and so starfish

Hands holding a cardboard sign. Two penguins are painted in black and white. One penguin holds a sign that says “NO TARIFFS”

The sign I made for Saturday’s protest in Clackamas.

A large white sheet of paper hangs from a wire. There are many doodles of chickens drawn across the surface of the paper.

Five dogs at the top of my stairs, all looking at the camera - a rare moment of coordination from Team Chaos.

Everything is terrible except my dogs, who are perfect.

A hand holds a red card that has a black artist trading card on it. The artist trading card features. A custom rubber stamp of a snake curling in on itself. The snake is in gold metallic ink. The snake is stitched with gold thread and has red eyes sewn with embroidery floss.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Me finishing my sentences 😂

Greetings from Milk Barn Farm.

Also, I need to learn how to generate a vtt file.

Who wore it better?

Left: Button, buckling
Right: Bonnibel, pupper

A crudely cut rubber stamp with the words “hold fast” has been stamped on the left-hand side of a vibrant pink piece of paper. The stamp and inspiration hand cut letters are on the right hand side.

I was inspired by Parinaz Bahadori in Jennifer Wilkin Penick’s Thursday Mixed Media session to snip my current mantra into letters and then carve a stamp. ATCs to follow.

2 2.5 X 3.5" art trading cards with an illustration of the Sphynx and Big Ben framed by the silhouette of a vase.

Making small things with my hands helps calm the fog of existential dread swirling in my brain.

Lola is a tan Chihuahua with gold eyes and long ears sticking out horizontally. She is sitting on the back of our couch looking regal.

Meet Milk Barn Farm's newest heartbeat, Lola. She's a distinguished older lady who has had a rough go of things. But @hchamp.bsky.social found her, fell in love, and we decided to make her remaining years as soft and wonderful as we can. She and Bonnie are already playmates.

A goat the color of brown butter is licking a bunch of grass off the head of black-and-white goat who is afflicted with the dreaded "salad head" after dipping into the feed container.

Gonna need you to post pics of cats, birbs, and any other cuddly, non-human animal in this thread, please. I need a timeline purge. Here is a good example of what I mean (a little shot from Milk Barn Farm, thanks to @fraying.bsky.social and @hchamp.bsky.social).

This reminds me of a conversation I had with an engineer on whether or not something is a Nazi salute because of the angle of the hand. Not the arm, how the hand was angled. I stopped working with a client.

I don’t know. The most active groups that I know of are on FB and I’d like to move away from there.

Twelve Artist Trading Cards ( 2.5 x 3.5") in three rows of four. Each card features a vase with a black background. The vases are all primarily blue and collaged with pink, yellow and/or yellow paper. Each card has a horizontal line of gold stitches.

I spent a day working on a new set of ATCs for Abby Houston's February swap . #OnlyBeautifulThings #ATC

So as someone who created an event to only post beautiful things during December, I decree that tomorrow is #OnlyBeautifulThings day.

Here’s a thing that TikTok did that was new and glorious and captured that creative lightning.

I made a video talking to my goat. She’s hilarious. I posted it to TikTok.

That's what D said.

No thank you. I've had my fill of looking at unknown men's junk.

Have I missed the opportunity to share CES memories?

2006? 2007? Demoing Flickr in the Y! Tenthouse. Talking to a dude about photosharing and I realize he's holding a thin plastic shopping bag full of dildos. As one does when the Adult Entertainment Expo is going on next door.

A 12 foot skeleton stands behind a young pine three and farm fence. The skeleton has a small red tinsel heard on its chest. There is a pink pixel granny square crochet heart on the farm fence.

Hey, @fraying.bsky.social, is it too early to ask if you'll be my Valentine?

A tricolor goat sits on a picnic staring at the camera with a cheesed expression. There is blue sky in the background.

#GoatMagic

Yay!

There’s something in the small size that’s very appealing.
