The scariest part of today is when a teenaged barista complimented my "shawl," and I realized I was in fact wearing "a shawl," like a grandmotherly beggar shivering on a foggy London street corner circa 1832

Her quack, however, is still loud as hell (a distinctly hen trait). I've read that females which reverse to male often get a raspier drake voice, but idk if that ALWAYS happens. She has always been the flock's spokesduck so it'd honestly be nice if her demands for treats weren't so dang loud.

A perfect domestic duck standing amongst spring greenery. She is gray and white with mottled orange feet.

Just trying to figure out if my gal Daphne is becoming my guy Daffy. She(?) has probably stopped laying eggs and has recently developed a drake curl on her tail (since this photo was taken in spring). My poor drake doesn't even have a curl right now!

Screenshot of a post saying "No way I have a person being transphobic to my DUCK on my thread." The thread was about a female duck seemingly changing its sex.

Having an incredible time reading contentious years-old backyard chickens dot com threads

Didn't know this was niche. It was a common lesson in my evangelical childhood that not taking the cart back was failing at being an ambassador for Christ and saving souls from damnation. The Church must be so known for returning carts that heathens ask, "What could be the Source of such Goodness?"

Convince your neighbors you own a pet owl by yelling "has anyone seen my pet owl" through their letterbox at 4am

This is such an impressive level of New Testament audacity. In all my years in fundieland, never met a family bold enough to name their infant literally Lazarus. I can only assume - and fear - they are faith healers.

Sometimes you can't tell if a couple is Crunchy (Possibly Radical) Montessori Portlanders or Christian (Possibly Mormon) Pioneer Cosplay Trads until they call to their child named Lazarus.

The 82nd Airborne has faced a lot but has it ever faced combined arms? And by combined arms I mean tattoo sleeves AND ironic beards

Honestly my question for three seasons wasn't Which Brother Will She End Up With so much as Who Is Cleaning This Enormous Vacation House

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

I believe it. It seemed like for a brief period, evangelicalism was taken back by the purity movement backlash and sort of ...rebranded the same messages with less abrasive language. But that was a decade or more ago, and yeah the vicious anti-trans campaign has taken center stage since then.

I'm too anxious a person to have ever thought It Can't Happen To Me, but I'm more shocked than ever this happens at all to anyone.

I want to be wise and calm and strong for my husband because he has cancer and I am well, but really I'm just scared and sad and one second from screaming. It's unfair and it's impossible and it's just one small tragedy among a thousand massive crises.

It's truly 4chan for christians. Did the publishers think this was...edgy? Irreverent? Bold? Cool? I almost suspect it wouldn't be published today, or the descriptions would be softened, but I also don't read purity books anymore so who knows.

Wow, memory unlocked. That page was really saying the quiet part loud, huh? It really sounds unbelievable describing it now from the outside.

The top comment on a video of young Joan Baez performing a folk ballad. The song is 400 years old. Not sure we can blame the lass for inventing tragedy
