Goodness.🫢 What distinguished company we keep when we’re “all in this together.” Anything to fortify uncompromising, truth-telling women. 🗽

Cool coop! Love the blow dried chicks too!

Enjoy them--and thanks for the dose of sanity. Whenever I read "We're in this together," I feel buoyed.

That is a spectacular coop. Thank you for everything you bring to all things related to democracy, the law, and chickens. 🙏🏻💗

I teach at Michigan State. The pics of chicks were exactly what I needed to close out this dreadful week. Many thanks!

Nancy, I live in Highland Park, Il, where we had our own “mass shooting” last July 4. I watched the MSU coverage in horrific. It’s just dreadful.

Too many places and too many people are affected daily. Just now there was a report of a mass shooting in Mississippi. It’s just too ... I don’t even have the words.

I live in Evanston IL. My anxiety about mass shootings is through the roof. This will be the first year we are not volunteering at Race Against Hate on Fathers Day. Sad but true.

Hey, Linda: A couple centuries ago, I went to what was called the National College of Education (now Louis University).

I don't blame you for not volunteering. After 9/11, there were immediate calls for volunteers. My spouse was a massage therapist/teacher. We saw the plumes of toxins rising as we watched the WTC burn down from 17 air miles away. Giuliani (and I hate to say this but I do respect her ...) Whitman asked that we all come to NYC to spend our money w/in days of the towers crumbling. It was "safe" and we knew otherwise. We didn't want to get ill and didn't volunteer there but locally, we did. Crazy world.

My heart is with you and your community. It is enraging that we have taken so little action to stop this madness. And the same to you, @Gammyjill.

But we’ll keep at it🙏

I never thought of myself as a “chicken person”, but am loving the updates and pictures. It’s a great diversion from . . . everything.

Love the Taj Coop Hall!

Wonder if republicans would want to tax it as an addition. I could see doing an airbnb for chickens?

Expand full comment

Air BnB offers an experience option (you can do all kinds of things hanging about with interesting people doing interesting things. When I sign up I plan to be a schlepper for other plein air artists for a couple hours. Joyce could offer Legal Chicken Feeding?

Sign me up and I'll pay a tax.

Holy mackerel - the coop is as big as my house! Lucky chickens.

Joyce, so grateful for the chicken update! 🐓 There is so much strife in the world that a worry about chickens is welcome! Love the new coop and can’t wait to see how they settle in! 🙏🏼

Joyce, I am thinking I want to come back as one of your chickens. It looks like a good life.

What a great idea!

Honestly, it's impossible not to be just delight in this at the end of a busy week. Can we just discuss the fact that you the lovely fluff in the picture have the same color locks?

Heartwarming update. You look very happy. Thanks Joyce.

Love the updates. I started following you on Instagram to watch your chicks knitting commentaries.

Great coop!

Legal question for you. If Fani Willis moves foreard to indict, does she need to recall live witnesses or can she submit the prior sworn tesimony?

Expand full comment

Thanks for reminding me. Ms. Vance went on a rightful rant about what the word "immediate" means.

From Newsweek on 1/25/2023 and pertains to "indictment". Ms. Vance dissected the meaning of the word not long ago and it still hasn't happen. Argh. When in the world is this happening. Has anyone seen movement (though Ms. Vance is up at all hours, so she's likely tell us first :) .

It's only a matter of time before indictments are filed against former President Donald

Trump for his alleged involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election

in Georgia, according to legal analyst Glenn Kirschner.

I heard that too.
