@Tarnport god, right? It’s such an unfolding catastrophe I can’t even guess at all the downstream effects yet, but it’s cataclysmic. We’re so glad we bailed on California in 2021.

New piece tonight, inspired by the Glasgow Four style of art and the folktale The Princess and the Pea.

This is all me: no AI. Just Procreate.

@funranium oh hi, I don’t know why I’m surprised to hear you on Ed Zitron’s show! Glad you’ve got good company at CES this year!

@impermanen_ I’m absolutely loving the grey clouds. California is reminding me of why we ran, and my hometown of Memphis is looking at 4-6” of snow! Me and my depression light box, we’re just fine 😅

@impermanen_ awww thank you for checking on me! I’m kinda back. I’m trying to be back!
It wasn’t a great winter holiday season, but I’m not depressed for once and that’s awesome.

@babe I’m so sorry 🫂

@alexhaist lmao

Great smile, that lad

@sarahstierch oh no, hope your life problem resolves itself quickly!

@inherentlee gosh I love the way young dogs defy gravity 🥰

@ai6yr I think you’d see shooting/shot in hockey, soccer, and golf too. But not baseball or football, unless the coach was off on one of his military metaphors, lol.

@ai6yr AI summary! “Shooting” as sportsball is a common mistake it makes.

@SandHillThicket the two Sicilians just started to lay about a month ago, so I think they’d still be going either way. But I think Ninja and Toast are laying because I’m experimenting with lighting the coop this year.
I got one of those electrical cords that ends in a light bulb in a metal casing and put a programmable LED bulb in it and hung that from the rafters of the coop. It comes on, at very dim ivory color, from 3-6 pm every day - so it’s on when they go to bed, and when I shut the door they can still see to eat or whatever, but it’s so dim they can sleep through it if they want. I’m not EggMaxxxing as much as our nights are too long and the hens are too hungry without their nightlight!
I tried little cheap rechargeable LED lights, but the cold drains the battery, don’t bother. Then when I first set up this corded light, I had it on too bright and the whole flock got extremely confused. They stayed out way too late, stuck in a loop of “it’s dark out here, I should go to bed / ooh, it’s so bright in here! Wonder if there’s anything to eat outside?” 😅 I truly adore them, bless their hearts.
Anyway, I read somewhere that the extra light doesn’t need to be any brighter than a full moon, so that’s what I tuned the coop light to, and now they go to bed full and even lay some eggs!

Ninja (a copper Maran) is the unquestioned Head Hen of the flock. She’s a wee bit smaller than butterball Zelda, but Ninja has ten times the force of personality. Do you want to hear what she just made me do??
I’d fed all the critters, every single one, and I was drinking my morning @funranium BBotE iced coffee. Ninja started trumpeting for me from the porch, and I tried to ignore her. But after a few minutes, she was still there, yelling. I went outside and there she was, with only a nervous Presley for company. Everyone else was grazing in the garden.
I asked her what the hell she wanted. Had the ravens been messing with her? Maybe the rat trap went off and startled her while she was trying to lay the egg? I started walking to the barn and Ninja came with me, still complaining. We slowly walked to the barn (no new rat yet today) and I gradually realized why she was mad. Ninja likes to lay in a seed spreader, and when I unloaded the truck yesterday I stacked the feed bags beside her chosen nest *in a different way.* She was lodging a complaint with management.
🤦
I moved some tarps out of her way and added an overturned bucket as a step. She circled the area, complained for a while longer, and finally ignored my bucket to scramble up in the nest on her own. The nest itself still met with her approval and I left her there to lay the egg.

@tsupasat Honey is an Easter egger and Zelda is a buff Brahma!

@paparatti she’s very relatable 😅
