It is Chicken Makin’ Week.
Holidays Bazaar Season starts this weekend, and this year it’s even more important to provide some emotional support to people.

Resistance is… itchy.
Stay safe out there today, everyone. Keep your wits about you and don’t let anyone goad you into anything.

New ink.
May not be able to attend protests (I have too many people that need me to not go to jail), but this is my resistance.
Thanks, Ken at Skin City, Tigard!

When the bag you came with is, technically, big enough to hold everything, but the 1” strap is digging into your shoulder… what can you do but buy a bigger, more comfortable bag?
Nerds have the best merch.

Oh @nebula.tv…
Your closed captioning never fails to make me laugh. And this isn’t even the worst offender, just the one I stopped on when Smalls was going on about how, when he’s older, he’ll make Roblox safe for kids.

Look at those beautiful butt-nuggets! 😍
The girls are producing again!
(A heads-up to those who are new-this-year chicken parents: They usually stop, or greatly reduce, producing for about three months due to short days and long nights.)

@matthewkrol.nebula.tv , the young human wants to know if Zoey gets a pat for every time someone watches her “God’s Fluffy Murder Machine” video. Because she absolutely deserves it.
Calvin and Rosemary agree.

Would not have guessed this was Jake’s makeup. His Dobie-Lab grandparent’s genes are definitely dominant to fight their way through all that Terrier.
But still. He’s 95% good boi, 5% chaos monkey, and 100% loved.

In order to not have to think about the entire weight of the federal government coming down on less than 200 US citizens (one of them my very own child), here is a sleepy chicken outside my kitchen window that she has made very dirty.

Jake does not like the cone of shame.
But it keeps him from chewing on his toe, which he sliced on something outside on Saturday.
He also missed his normal afternoon nap from while at the vet. Between being the bestest boy with the doctor and nurses and the pain, he’s a very tired puppers.

Jake says, “What’s a new year?”
Hopefully, the neighbor’s midnight mortars won’t keep him from being as chill as he is now.

Middle paragraph is some of the most pro-colonialism stuff I’ve read in a very, very long time. 🤯
Reminds me of Melanie from “High Strung” (1991, same year as this book). “I was watching one of the protests from one of these backwards countries and I realized, ‘What a burden freedom must be.’”

Here mostly to get a time and place to finish final edits on two books. ADHD urgency is kicking in. Booth rental was free, so it’s a win-win.
