One of the substacks I read regularly is Joyce Vance.
She is a lawyer and legal scholar whose commentary I hear often on television. She writes long and thoughtful posts about the current legal issues in the United States, of which there are many.
To lighten things, she also posts about her hobbies.
She will show us what her latest knitting project is, for example.
The thing other than law about which she posts most, though, is her chickens.
She and her family keep a coop with several varieties of chickens. She posts about what she is feeding them. Their interactions with the family’s dog and cat. Their new coop. What they are doing around the yard. How they hop up into her lap sometimes.
She will also occasionally post photos of their eggs. Because there are different breeds, the eggs are various colors and sizes.
The chickens bring Joyce comfort and joy, which she shares with her readers.
I admit that I have no desire to care for chickens myself, but I appreciate Joyce’s sharing her love with all of us.

“Stated simply, the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings. This means that they do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control.”
