Blu Kote also helps hide injuries and mask featherless plucked areas. Chickens are omnivorous scavengers. They’re compies w feathers that lay daily. I learned it the hard way, one got it’s foot caught in the coop side inside the coop. I only found the foot and skeleton.😧🫣👀

As a child, after seeing chicks peck another sick chick to death (and eat it) I have zero guilt about eating chicken. They’d probably eat us too if they could get away with it lol the little assholes

I just need everyone who has never raised chickens to know that anti-cannibalism spray exists. 🐓

If you think of chickens as mini versions of the velociraptors from Jurassic Park*, identical in every way besides size, you'll have a pretty good mental model of how they behave. *This metaphor courtesy of the time I watched mine pack hunt a rat and thought "that's unsettling"

MAGA Republicans in Congress believe the best way to grow the economy is from the top and then watch the benefits trickle down to everyone else. It just doesn't work.

While I was at Yahoo, a comms person from a certain ministry got into a lengthy argument with one of the editors over our use of "banned" to describe a new policy. He claimed that the ministry had merely "prohibited" something.

Americans: ugh, flying United sucks Canadians: ugh, flying Porter sucks Europeans: [staring into a bottle by the light of a dying fire] I had hope once. I had joy. I saw sunrises and felt glad to be alive. But that was a long time ago. That was before I flew Ryanair.

Props to @kaitlancollins who was in an impossible position but did a heroic job of fact-checking Trump throughout the town hall. No easy task given how many factually untrue things he said in such a short time. Collins was a true pro and showed what a stellar journalist she is.

It's seared into my memory: seeing people I thought of as trans rights activists feeding a toxic pile-on driven by a mix of greed jeaolousy in a purity spiral that almost cost my friend Amanda their life. Mob violence online is awful.
Quote Tweet
CW: suicide Three years ago, a pile-on started on Twitter because I wrote a book about my family that has two trans family members in it. At the time, I wasn't out as trans yet, so the pile-on was largely a criticism of how I, a cis person, wrote a book about trans people. 1/

Yang tak pernah kena deal dengan bapak2 pukimak whether from ur own family or not senang ah cite agama terancam kalau mak menang. Jangan biarkan abusers permainkan agama untuk elakkan hukuman dunia. Akhirat tu antara dia dengan Tuhan tapi dunia ni kezaliman dia bermangsa

If indie tabletop folks can learn anything from the "Time War/Bigolas Dickolas" event yesterday, it's that being obnoxiously psyched about the things you love is vital to creators

2) stop hate-reading and start hyping. I don't mean this in a "If you ignore the bully, they'll go away" toxic positivity sense. I mean this in the "Nothing gets me more excited about something than seeing people I like and trust getting excited about it" sense.

There's no justification to minor abuse and women had been wearing baju Melayu in traditional dance and in kompang group. Cuba Google outfit Tun Teja. Lagipun It's sopan, menutup aurat what the hell is wrong with it.

It's finally happened, SH31N took my Mushroom Morning/Midnight pattern and slapped it on a dress 😭 I took a close look at it, and it's exactly my illustration. I hate that this happens so frequently, but I am also shocked it only happened now (that i know of, at least!)

It’s not just the equipment — mojo is telling elements of the story as it’s happening. That’s why is such a great journalist.
Quote Tweet
How mojo can *really* work: news about train company TransPennine Express losing its franchise broke around 7.30am; mojo supreme @NicholasGarnett happened to be on one of their trains so recorded & filed voxes in 4k from his iPhone. They were in the system by 8am.
