Tomorrow's the big day. Can we get $5,000 before that extremely important meeting? This is the 11th hr. Let's get this done for Beth and the animals. There's no better way to honor Diane than by keeping her sanctuary alive! Share this everywhere. 🐑🐎🐖🐓🐐🐄🦃🐕🐈‍⬛🐂 www.gofundme.com/f/keep-diane...

Many of us remember what a sanctuary Crouton & Friends was for US during the scary early days of lockdown. It was a source of calm & sanity in the face of the unknown. Now they need our help. Let’s thank them for everything they do by donating to keep the sanctuary we love alive. LFG, Croutonia!

Please help or repost please.

Calling all Canadians 🇨🇦👋 and people who like Mr Dress-up (the tickle trunk reference). Or the Littlest Hobo 🐕 (another cool Canadian TV show). I'm not sure about House Hippo, although I'm going to find out...

I know everyone has been waiting all day. I wrote a long update on the GFM. I can answer any questions here. I cannot name the organization until a formal board resolution passes. www.gofundme.com/f/keep-diane...

All the space jewelery that can be made by these two artists, I'm in for it!!!

:(

This lovely sanctuary, its precious animals, and its beloved partners, staff, and volunteers saw so many of us through the darkest days of the pandemic. It's heartbreaking that it has to end, but with our continued support they will find loving homes and Beth can recover her health. Please donate. ♥️

Bernadette was my favourite character. Funny, caring, strong, proud, great swears. Watching this trailer makes me want to watch it again. Love the silver dress on the bus scene to La Traviata. And of course ALL the ABBA scenes. youtu.be/RdwRv4PW17A?...

This cute capyberra reminds me of Miss Roo the Great Russet Sow of Squirrelwood heading into the pond for a well deserved soak. @mcrouton.bsky.social

someone called this image 'AI slop'. sir the only slop in this picture is in the pig trough

Treat yourself to some relaxing ewe therapy.

The music is perfect! A piggie having the best time.

Rings, necklaces: these Mars Curiosity rover inspired beauties (and yes there is a secret message on them just like the rover wheels on Mars) are handmade and available from @sciencesocks.bsky.social . Other nerdy and sparkly items at the shop too.

Thx to all who helped reach our 1st goal!❤️But we need to keep this going to catch up funding critical expenses like fixing an old leaking roof, ongoing animal care & for staff to cover ALL the work that Diane did on the farm. It's a lot. Beth needs us now more than ever, please give what you can?

Yup, protect the kid no matter what. ❤️🤗

A few years ago I embarked on a 30 Sunrises in 30 Days painting challenge to break through painter's block. It was nice to see the sun rise into different weather and to play with tools and style around the one subject while I raced the changing light. A lot of them sold. A few of them haven't.

Feel like you're missing content from your favorite farm? Did you know they added notifications to Bluesky?! Easy, tap the bell on @mcrouton.bsky.social profile, then pick if you want just posts or both posts/replies. Then you won't miss any updates or gorgeous pictures B posts. Roo will come help.

🧵 It has been 6 months since Diane suddenly passed away. I know I have been absent. Most of you know I’ve struggled with my mental health + profound grief. Without steady online content donations have evaporated almost entirely. 1.

Check out this cool video from NASA's Parker Solar Probe showing a series of CMEs leaving the Sun around Christmas 2024. This is Parker's closest approach to the Sun ever in its multi-year mission.

Latest piggy episode folks. I tell a brief story about my sister, Joe talks about his old next door neighbour, and Dolly says lots of fascinating things about pigs and wild boar.

Sheep! And Meerkat antenna! Yay!

Mooo! And antennas!!! What could be better!

An adorable Charlotte and her grumpy, unnamed turtle friend just want to remind you it's a Terrific Tuesday to help the herd.

Bavarian cows. They sure look happy.

Bergen, Norway. Went on a fjord cruise up to the town of Mo (pronounced "moo" because, of course).

After seeing the movie about Camille Claudel, I've really been interested in her and Rodin's sculptures. Was lucky to visit the Rodin Museum while in Paris.

Sparkles came on at 11:00pm for 5 minutes!!

Sparkly lights should turn on in about an hour.

Unfortunately we couldn't go in. Lines and lines and thousands of people wanting to go in, the only small sign said it wasn't going to open on time, apologies. A staff member surrounded by confused vusitors said "to try back in the afternoon". Sigh. www.independent.co.uk/news/louvre-...

Full day in Paris. Planning what I want to see at the Louvre. Otherwise I'd be wandering around semi-aimlessly for hours and hours.

Wow. That was amazing. Billie Eilish in Barcelona.

In Barcelona, enjoying some tapas.
