Folks, I'm telling you,
birthing is hard
and dying is mean β€”
so get yourself
a little loving
in between.

– Langston Hughes

This year I noticed for the first time that lambs ear flowers have a pyramidal structure. And let me tell you, it is not easy to get an iPhone camera to focus on the tip! But I finally managed, so I can show you how cool it is.

Canada folks! Neighbours, there's an official petition to sanction Israel for its war crimes in Gaza, by suspending the Canada-Israel free trade agreement.

Can we get this more signatures than the 28,788 that signed the current highest petition by signature count?

Fucken. Trying to book a doctor’s appointment for this fucking virus, but basically the rule is now that if you’re sick they don’t want to see you.

Why the fuck else would I be wanting to see a doctor? I don’t go for fucking funsies.

Me: β€œStop it, Oregon! I can only handle so much beauty!”

Narrator: But Oregon refused to stop.

@feather1952 Heh, that's all we can do, really! We can plan but it doesn't always work the way we expect (which is kind of great too)

@dtl Thanks, I definitely will!

I think we're used to the northern hemisphere's seasons because we see them represented so frequently in popular culture (plus in Australia, at least, so many of us were born outside the country or know people who were). I remember telling my English in-laws that we sometimes got snow here and he was so surprised (I don't think he thought it ever got cold!)

A lot going on here.

@alicemcalicepants

got a chicken douce coup

@burnitdown @alicemcalicepants they want to nick the Mercedes, but its an older manual model so they would have to plot to work together to deal with steering, pedals and gears, and avoid attracting attention of Essex Police, or else they would all end up before the beak, and might have to do some bird😁

@vfrmedia @alicemcalicepants

they don't want to be reliant on the robin.

@alicemcalicepants
Chicken coups sound good, actually.
@mtechman I, for one, welcome our new avian overlords.
@mtechman bow down before your new chicken overlords @alicemcalicepants
@SeaFury @alicemcalicepants
And they won't try to sell us cars or satellites.
@SeaFury @alicemcalicepants
It would make a good mastobot...
What chickens wouldn't do:
Bribe
Send National Guard
Remove DEI programs
Defund _____
@alicemcalicepants the suggestions at the bottom! I really hope they are!
@alicemcalicepants I see Meta’s β€œAI” has foiled the plot those chickens were hatching.
@alicemcalicepants After seeing Shoresy and Men With Brooms, nothing would shock me about Sudbury.
@alicemcalicepants ha! I need to pass this on to my ( grown up) children's AI debate #chicken #coup
@alicemcalicepants I, for one, would welcome our new feathered overlords.
@alicemcalicepants Cool. I can hit the Jewelry Exchange on the way to wave at that crowd of zombies!

@alicemcalicepants Most chickens are hens, so wouldn't that make them "overladies"?
@alicemcalicepants I, for one, welcome our future fine, feathered overlords.
@alicemcalicepants That’s the kind when after crowing the rooster goes home and watches on TV while the dumb clucks do all the dirty work of breaking in and taking over.
@alicemcalicepants
I, for one, welcome our new chicken overlords.
@alicemcalicepants is that a Mercedes CL(uc)K?
