Today I just can’t take reposting any news. Assume Trump is defying the constitution & going crazy, economy still crashing, too many people still mean. Instead, just look at this picture of hen I used to have named Indiana. She was a fabulous creature, and I am blessed to have had her in my life.
A picture of a drop, dead, queen, hen, golden and red in color with a crown of crusted feathers and an awesome comb. She is standing over her two chicks, who will fear nothing in the world. Because if anything comes after them, they will have to go through mama first. And that mama takes no prisoners.

I forgot #caturday because I got so excited about America trying to buy Spirit Airlines. So here’s a picture of Beans
A beautiful orange tabby, looking right above the camera, sitting on a fluffy couch with a pink Christmas tree and windows with sunshine in the background. Because yes, we have decided to keep our Christmas tree up for the year.

A white and blue rooster standing over a quote from the wellness therapist. Dear Jessica Reid Krause now you have a small glimpse of what millions of Americans, including children, regularly live with, because the Maga party you platform and defend refuses to pass a single meaningful gun safety law.

Glanced at the news today. It pretty much all sucked. So I’m just going to post a video of Plynth and her babies. You can see them all go under her at the end. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we had someone as smart, capable, and loving as Plynth in charge?

Pay

attention

CKC Pottery@ckcpot...
The SAVE Act "fight seems to be shaping up as between Repubs eager to pass a voter suppression bill to support Trump, & those willing to protect voters as well as their own voices in the Senate.

Tonight the Senate voted to take up the measure"

Its about politicians controlling if you can vote or not

H.R.22 - SAVE Act

I'm married and I have a ReallD drivers license. Will this be accepted as proof of US Citizenship?

NO With the exception of 5 states (NY, WA, VT, MI, MN), Your Real ID will not be accepted as proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

Will my birth certificate provide proof, even though it shows my maiden name?

NO Proof of citizenship cannot be verified by your birth certificate if the name does not match.

Will my marriage license provide this proof if I bring it with my birth certificate and RealID?

NO Since marriage licenses do not specify citizenship you would need to bring a passport or active military ID with papers.

I'm already registered to vote. I'm I guaranteed that I won't have to re-register?

NO As the bill currently stands, there is no requirement to notifiy you if your name is removed from existing registration database

I am sorry for all of us, my Covid family. Just know if you’re ever passing through mid North Carolina, you are welcome here. You can come sit on the screened porch or you can even come down and snuggle with a miniature chicken on your lap. Hugs to all of you warriors.
