My wife sleeps with chicks. This one was lethargic and was not able to keep warm with it's broody hen at night. So Mio thought it needed a warm rest in the house of a few days. It's cute for a while but can get tiring after more than a few days. The chick is back up on the roosting bar tonight.. But apparenlty the chick fell off and was chirping like crazy until getting put back up on the bar. I guess those 3 or 4 nights on a towel-wrapped pillow under a blanket threw off the balance needed for the roosting bar. Or maybe one of the other birds just pushed the chick off. The birds can be mean while jostling on the roosting bar...

#BiwaChan the smallest #SilkyChick was helping me read about "A Good Life for all Within Planetary Boundaries" a few days ago. I forgot that I had take pictures of a baby hen working GNU/Linux before the previous post of BiwaChan on the keyboard. These pictures had me searching for #KoheiSaito pages in English, since it was a Guardian article that informed me of his book, and it was his book that had me looking for Dan O'Neill, Ecological Economics, Doughnut Economics and the #GoodLife site on the screen with BiwaChan.

The position of Vietnam, although still far away, seems to be closer to where we should be than any other country. Chomsky writes about how USA invasion of Vietnam (The "Vietnam War") ended the possibility of the place attempting and alternative route of development. It's hard to develop a good life for all within ecological boundaries after your one relatively small place has been bombed more than every place that was bombed in WWII, and with all those brightly colored cluster bomb bomblets destroying people's limbs, and with Agent Orange chemical weapons continuing to damage people and nature... But even with all that, Vietnam is still a bit closer than other countries to where we should be going. BiwaChan probably prefers that we work towards a Good Life for all within Planetary Boundaries too. I bet she's happy not to be in an Animal Factory, and wishes her fellow chickens had the opportunity to be themselves and grow into the most them-like thems as possible...
