An artist friend of mine did a series of illustrations for Peter Rabbit to give to a new mother. There was a framed picture of a steaming pie on the wall in one of them, labeled Dad.
When we first moved here, I was all happy that I had sooo much space for flowers AND veggies and sky also, cause our last place was in the trees so veggies did not do well.
And then the bunnies came. Spent the first 3 springs trying to create bunny baffles (one was especially funny, when I watched almost in slow mo, a ground chuck lean on the chicken wire until it let him roll into the garden, where he then enjoyed a nice buffet. When I chased him out, he merely reversed the process)
The bunnies are at least cute. But I was not that sad when a pair of hawks moved in.
There's a rabbit that has taken to moving out into view as I move around my yard, on the regular. It's rather like having a pet that is fed by the yard, so no effort.
I had a house that bordered a protected wetlands, and every afternoon when I got home from work, I would go out back and take a seat and watch a bunny hop out into the yard and nibble on weeds. I would say hello and smile. We went on like this for the better part of a summer until one day, I saw a blade of grass move very quickly next to the bunny. Then, a second later, the bunny lay down, never to move again.
The fucking redneck kid living next door was taking pot shots with his pellet rifle.
Never heard of this pass for disabled peeps. Mr Demi _definitely_ qualifies. Eldest has ASD & ADHD, so may qualify too. Means we'd only have to pay for Youngest and myself :) I wonder if it'd allow them to ride the Cuyahoga Valley NP train for free? Eldest has a special interest in trains
" Chicago judge banned bullshit firearm analysis.'
Judge was right, it ain't science.
"We do not know how many guns are capable of leaving a particular mark on a bullet or shell casing. Moreover, deciding whether a series of marks constitutes a “match” to a specific gun is an entirely subjective process based on the judgment and “experience and expertise” of the analyst. We can’t even say that a single gun leaves the same unique marks over time. The marks likely change over time as the grooves in gun barrels wear down."
Will never forgive GOP for tying disability to work and making it near impossible for disabled people to get the benefits and keep them without constantly being accused of fraud. This country is such a 3rd world ghetto.
Also, if you love soup and cookbooks, I wrote a pretty awesome soup cookbook that's sadly only available on Bezos' app because I self-published it there and distributors ignore self-published stuff completely. Anyway, link: https://www.amazon.com/Frenchies-Soups-Frenchie-Renard/dp/0615757170
Of course RFK Jr. made the big bucks from being pro disease. With any luck, he'll lose his senses, like Joe Mercola (also rich from being pro disease) and give all his money to a snake oil salesman with a different schtick.
Brittany should win and win big - but will she? Women don't matter in red States.
Stalin is the guy Republicans secretly admire. But don't worry, they'll be open about that soon, just as they are open about admiring Nazis.
That Baby cannot be nine!! I know, of course she can. But the joke in my family is that all my grandchildren and great grandchildren are twelve. All of them.
I joked to my father that my (then imaginary) children would all be conceived through immaculate conception. All 12 of them. Though, as it turns out, neither of my 2 children were conceived via sex, lol. (IVF)
This is apparently how I'm going to deal with the incipient fascist oligarchical destruction of my country. I guess there could be worse coping mechanisms.
Over the last 2 days, I've baked:
a caramelized onion and cheddar sourdough loaf (my partner said it tasted like White Castle burgers, LOL!)
a ham and cheese sourdough loaf
a what I'm calling "antipasta" loaf that has pepperoncinis, green olives, romaine, parmesan, and summer sausage
a summer sausage and parmesan loaf
a blonde chocolate, dried Montmorency cherry and pecan loaf (OMG, this one is so so fucking good).
I doubt that coming to the aid of Gaza tips scales, because you lose a ton of pro Israel people. Thems just facts. But you do it because it's the right thing to do. And still lose. Bright side is that people in this country seem to give a shit, let's see if we can kindle attention, understanding and compassion, including here at home.
And the price of eggs? Well, I am someone who knew my financial condition gets better with a more level playing field, but that shit is complex and does nothing for RIGHT NOW which is how many people vote. I absolutely agree that loads of chuds use "economy" because saying "Black woman" isn't polite, but you gotta remember people do vote on inflation, egg prices, fuel prices etc. In the long run it didn't matter that Biden did such a good job, all that stuff cost more than it did "before."
"Free National Parks pass for disabled people! Yay!"
Excellent.
And if you're not aware of the National Parks Senior Pass, please know that at the young age of 62 - you don't even have to wait for Medicare eligibility! - you can purchase this card for a one-time $80 fee that allows you entrance to the national parks for the rest of your dwindling life. Er, your Golden Years. Bhqatevwr.
I bought mine during the last year it was $20, which is now the cost of an annual senior pass. They announced it would be going up to $80 so I pounced. I love National Parks and National Recreation Areas.
Good for Paul Krugman to call out Republicans who would shit on the people of the state that returns most money to the federal government and hold up funding to help address the unparalleled disaster visited upon the second largest city of the country they purport to lead.
I mean, this is SOME novel reading of the parable of The Good Samaritan.

Beatrix vibes, very nice.
BUNNY!
When life gives you lettuce, make bunny beds.
As Beatrix wrote in warning those bun buns: lettuce can be very soporific. Watch out for that big, mean MacGregor!
Food for thought.

Blissful Bun!
Small world. I too was found under a cabbage leaf.
I put the wrong two and two together; bunny soup 😱!

I saw that movie.
/shivers/
It’s soup AND salad. 🐰
Happy bun! Living his best life.

I shed a few tears and went inside.
Fucking redneck kid indeed.

I think I saw that 1970s eco-horror. Donald Pleasance, George Kennedy, John Saxon, Marjoe Gortner, and Joy Bang IIRC.
Marjoe Gortner! There's a name you don't read often yet I looked him up the other day
Don't forget the 1972 documentary with DeForest Kelley.
A bunny lying in his bed and eating it too!
Live the chicken soup song. From the Maurice Sendak nutshell library book😎

Times of Israel is not the place I would go to understand the level of impact of Israeli issues on American elections.

That sounds amazing.
What dough did you use for the antipasta loaf?
It's all sourdough.
100 g. sourdough starter
430 g. flour
about 5-7 g. salt
and 290 g. of water
Thank you! I need to get a good starter. Ours is....not great. It's alive but not very tasty.
Anyone who thinks the “pro-life” (aka, forced birth) movement isn’t about punishing women needs to read the article about Brittany Watts.

It's a rather typical read of the good samaritan among xian communities.
