The Loophole with THC CBD works better with THC! They both come from the same plant, after all. Our new tincture has a 1:3 ratio for a happy, calming, stress-melting effect.

CBD works better when combined with THC! They both come from the same plant and work on the same receptors. Our first intoxicating tincture has just enough THC to help the CBD melt away stress for a happy, calming effect.

Yes, it’s legal, but only until November.

A few dozen people at 212 and Foster in Damascus. Lots of supportive honks from people driving by. My awesome wife in her frog costume.

Some folk were very pressed that we were protesting.

Who knew that an old white lady standing in a frog onesie could be so controversial?

A gentleman waiting to turn left into shopping center parking lot yelled “Go home”. The guy next to me waving a large American flag, Martha, and I all replied “we are home”.

A person in a large green and yellow frog onesie, standing in front of a telephone pole. They are holding a black and white sign that reads “protest is patriotic.” someone behind her is holding a large American flag. They are standing at the side of the road.

When we first moved to Oregon 11 years ago, we would drive into Portland to participate in protests. More recently, we’ve had to only go as far as Clackamas. There were 125 to 150 people last Saturday on 212 for the NO KINGS rally.

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

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!

Greetings from Milk Barn Farm.

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

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.

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.

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.
