just a reminder to everyone in these trying times
- coop /kuːp/ a chicken enclosure
- coup /kuː/ a government being overthrown
- co-op /ˈkoʊˌɒp/ a company owned and democratically run by the people it serves or employs
(Sorry for the deletes & re-drafts all, had to fix crossposting) 🐘
And this splendid lady, entry 87, is a white-crested grey Polish hen, from Victoria Ayres of Queensville, ON.
Her head is like a chrysanthemum!
(Okay, all for tonight.)
From here on out the birds get progressively more…Moira Rose.
Did a double take when I saw this chicken (Entry 85, white-crested black Polish cockerel, from Marianne Rea of Keswick, ON) drinking out of a red Solo cup.
Birds of the Royal is back, baby.
Entry 80 is a buff laced Polish cock from Kathryn Cooper of Washago, ON. Disqualified for being "knock-kneed". How dare they.

UPDATE: Organizer, Vanessa Gray, said the group was served an injunction, ordering them to vacate CN’s rail lines, by police around 3 p.m., but Gray said it won’t dampen their fervour, and will only embolden the activists.
(I am trying out bananachips.club for a wee bit in search of a local that is less white & male sorry guys)

In Vaughan, just north of Toronto, protesters blockaded the Macmillan rail yard in solidarity with Wet'suwet'en land defenders, who are opposing a gas pipeline being built across their land. It's just the latest in a series of (very effective) nationwide blockades and protests.
Also, the phrasing "pop-up protest" is just funny to me idalkdjflkd https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/gta-protesters-ontario-rail-blockade-1.5465525

I've got a strange question for you, #fediverse and apologies if this seems a bit forward.
I love my dog. Believe me, he is living his best life here for hopefully many more years. But I really need a vacation.
Are there people in the Netherlands interested in looking after Jazz for a few days? 🐶 Daycare is insanely expensive and all my friends and family have fulltime jobs/live in tiny apartments/have a million cats.

... We considered ourselves to be super dumb. This is a place of honor! We're commemorating all kinds of cool stuff here. We buried treats. The treats are yummy and good for your bodies. You should build a city here, right here, for easy access to the treats that are so good for you. ...
