Keep in mind, it’s not a batam chicken, it has some birth defect that makes it smaller than an average small chicken, we think. I don’t know. We didn’t expect this.
This is Cicero.
We thought Cicero was a rooster, mostly from fear of him being a hen and trying to lay an egg, only to end up egg bound.
Well, today we learned that Cicero the Rooster is actually Cicero the Hen.
AND LOOK
AT WHAT
SHE LAID
A TINY EGG.
I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
IF WE HATCH IT WOULD A TINIER CHICKEN BE HATCHED??
WILL IT CONTINUE UNTIL WE HAVE THE SMALLEST CHICKEN IN THE WORLD??
WHY DID MY SISTER NAME THE CHICKEN AFTER HER MATH TEACHER??
i was the exact opposite bc I grew up in an old old house that always needed work and when I moved into my first apartment the landlord told me the bathroom still needed caulked and I didnt understand that meant she was sending someone to DO that so I caulked the entire bathroom and when the guy got there he went “did you……..Do This” and I was like “yes, and why, and who are you”
see on the one hand I’m like ‘eowyn has the height and build of gwendoline christie’ but on the OTHER hand I’m like ‘eowyn is 5 foot nothing and post ent draft merry is almost as tall as her and she hates it’ and i genuinely don’t know which i prefer
merry, rocking up to ithilien for a visit, 4′10″: hey 🙂
eowyn, 5′0″: NO
merry: watch out I’m catching you up
eowyn: *softly* noooooooo
merry, mad at eowyn for some reason: that’s it I’m going to do it, I’m gonna grow taller than you
eowyn: can he… do that??
faramir: i have no idea
This adds a new element to “Merry didn’t realize Dernhelm was Eowyn until she took of her helmet”
My mom has benign tumor called a neuroma in her brain. She was gonna have surgery on it.
Before that she had two kids. My sister and my brother. Doctors said no more kids or my mom would probably die due to health complications.
My mom had my other brother after. Doctors insisted.
No more kids!
So three years pass and my mom is about to have surgery to remove said tumor. A pregnancy test was required.
And that’s how they found out I happened.
So doctors pressure for abortion.
My mother, the strong catholic woman she is, has me months later. And nearly died. She’s bedridden for a couple years after. Still has health issues.
And me? I would stop breathing in the middle of the night. I hated to be held. I was always sick. Basically a problem child.
When I was 3 I was diagnosed with Anhydrosis. My body doesn’t sweat, so extreme exertion or hot temps are life threatening.
Doctors didn’t know how to keep me alive. My mom did. She figured most of it out. They gave my mom laundry lists of things I couldn’t do. That I would need 24 hour care for my whole life.
Plus problems with the school. (after my gym teacher almost killed me by not believing my disability the school offered $10,000 if I never came back).
There are still a lot of things I can’t do. Won’t be able to do. I’m disabled and will be my whole life.
But the doctors were wrong. I’m capable of taking care of myself for the most part. I’m going to college and I’m gonna be the best damn nurse I can.
What I hate is when people say people like me shouldn’t be born. That we cost society to much and we’re a burden.
To hell with it. I hear it all the time that disabled people should be aborted. How “assisted suicide” is a good thing.
We’re alive and kicking. More than just me. We shouldn’t have to post out histories to prove we’re worth something. That it’s not as bad as predicted. We shouldn’t have to beg for our lives.
Listen to us.
(Rant over.)
Still alive and thriving!!!
Reblogging to remind people that ableism effects and threatens real people like Lavinia, that eugenics and abortion suck, and to appreciate someone I’d easily consider my best friend
It’s not a dumb question at all because I absolutely love telling this story! ❤
So I met @an-autumn-rose on a video chat room called Rabbit that was run by @captainvatican for the DigiCatholic group. We didn’t talk too much at first, but slowly got to know each other and eventually (by that I mean within a week) we started Skyping every night. I can’t really remember when the decision itself was made, but we decided since I took the whole week after Christmas that year, I would spend the second half meeting her and @fiercequeen23 in person and figuring out whether or not we wanted to try a long distance relationship. We obviously decided to go for it and the rest is history. 🙂
I also had the pleasure of meeting @its-pixie-perfect on the drive back. 😛
