it is my grandmother's 80th birthday today

this is a triumphant occasion for her, because her mother started predicting years in advance that she'd die months before reaching 80, and although she was in perfect health, she refused to listen to reason and gazed clear-eyed into the approaching void that nobody could see but her like amaranta from one hundred years of solitude until she suddenly took sick at 79 years and 10 months of age and died almost instantly. obviously this had a big effect on her daughter, we've tried to convince her all her life that it was only her mum who had the vision or whatever and just because she didn't make 80 doesn't mean nobody else in the family would make 80, but in the end there was only one thing that would convince her and that was the advent of her 80th birthday, which has now arrived and which she now intends to spend drinking champagne (there are about ten parties planned for her in different locations over the next few weeks, every year her birthday flows seamlessly into hanukkah and then into christmas and then secular new year because dammit she deserves a month-long birthday party and i will let nobody take that away from her)

Im hoping, like is tradition, that America adopts another one of our worst people in Jordan Peterson so we can be rid of him forever.

We will throw in one Conrad Black as a bonus for signing up today.

Had to put down one of my rescue cats. Vet gave her 2 years when we took her in due to the poor state of her kidneys, she almost made it that long. Going to be kind of tough getting used to not having her hogging half my pillow every night. :(

the crested pigeons are born! their parents are skittish so i can't get a photo yet, but the babies are super chill (they just lie there blinking at me with their enormous eyes) and where the adults have a long feather that sticks straight up from the middle of the skull like a unicorn's horn, the babies are born with a single tiny feather that is barely noticeable at first but points resolutely heavenward

um i wouldn't say cuter, lol

quail are born with feathers, pigeons aren't, so at the moment they're little grey blobs with bristles

they are extremely cute though, and their eyes take up like 50% of their face
