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.

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.

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.

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….
