Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Republicans in disarray!

“woke” is the new caravan.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

He really is that stupid.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

I was promised a recession.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

We still have time to mess this up!

2021 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendars Are Ready To Order

The 2021 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendars are ready to order!

Calendar A

2021 Balloon Juice Pet Calendar: Calendar A

Calendar B

2021 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar B

You can click this link to order and you can order by clicking the special blue box up top.

If you have pets in the calendars and have not yet reviewed the calendars, please do so before placing your order.  You will find the pages of each calendar in the links in the sidebar.

If you find a problem, corrections can still be made.  But the calendar has to be changed BEFORE you place your order with Cafe Press.  The calendars are printed on demand by Cafe Press, and there’s no way to stop an order once you place it.

If you find an issue:

  1. Notify us in this post
  2. Wait for us to let you know that it has been fixed and the page has been updated
  3. Review the calendar again to verify all is good
  4. Then place your order.

Calendars are $25 each.  We planned to offer $5 off if you ordered both Calendar A and Calendar B, but Cafe Press doesn’t offer a way to do that.  So all calendars are $25 each.

Anyone who orders 3 or more 2021 Pets of Balloon Juice calendars will get $5 off the “pet wallpaper” we are also offering this year.  The wallpaper purchases won’t go through Cafe Press, so we’ll do one thing at a time here, and I will explain more about the wallpaper in another post.  Just wanted to let you know that we’ll be doing something to thank folks who couldn’t get the original deal we hoped to offer.

Proceeds from the calendar go to our new pet rescue this year:  Wet Mountain Animal Welfare.

2021 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendars Are Ready To Order.

Questions?  (aka What did I miss?)

Update on 12/4: I am closing comments on this post so I don’t miss any corrections that need to be made.  Please add calendar comments and corrections to the most recent calendar post.  I will have one a day for a few days in order to catch everyone.

    This looks great! Thank you so much for all your work on this.

    I may have missed this before, but is there a particular charity this is supporting? Or is it supporting the web site? (Also worthy!) I just want to mention it when I share it on Facebook.

    @Facebones: We always support a pet charity with the calendars, and after years of supporting MARC, they are big enough that it’s time to support another organization where we can hopefully make a big difference.

    I added the info up top, but I will include it here, too.  Our new pet rescue is Wet Mountain Animal Rescue.

    Are you going to sell the digital ones too?

    Ordered one of each! Thanks to you and Beth for all your hard work, painstaking attention to detail, and sheer creativity.

    @Mary G:  The calendars cost $15 to print at Cafe Press, so we make $10 on each calendar, which goes directly to the pet rescue.

    I think we could sell a high-resolution PDF of the cover and the 12 months for $10, but folks would have to be on the honor system to pay the $10 for every person they would share the .pdf with.

    Are you thinking of something like that?

    This looks beautiful! Thanks to you and Beth for all your hard work. Being on a page with other cats is the only way Cashew, the only cat of only cats, would ever have tolerated their presence :-)

    @Mary G: For the “wallpaper” we are making 12 months of digital wallpaper, and $10 gets you wallpaper for each month, and each month you would get a link to the BJ pet wallpaper for that month.

    Think something like this handsome picture of Badger, with a little calendar in the lower right-hand corner – that might say June, for instance, and would show the days of the month for June.

    Speaking of Pet Photos (Open Thread)

    Everybody who paid the $10 for the year would get a link every month for digital wallpaper for a phone, a tablet, and a computer.  You could use it as wallpaper or just look at an adorable badger whenever you wanted.  :-)

    That would really come to 24-36 images a year, because an image that works for portrait mode on a phone wouldn’t work for the dimensions on a tablet or computer.

    Albatrossity is making the monthly wallpaper for us, and all proceeds will go to the pet rescue.

    Those covers are snazzy.  I’m gonna donate directly to the shelter since the oddly shaped package I got already suggests my kid got me a calendar (or, an LP–unlikely!).

  12. 12.

    WaterGirl

    December 3, 2020 at 3:03 pm

    @Nutmeg again: Be sure and make a notation on your donation so they know that you are part of Balloon Juice.

    I just ordered two.  Ouch on the shipping cost, since I need them by Dec 14.

    Both have cats on the cover. I detect a strong scent of bias.

    @WaterGirl:

    we make $10 on each calendar, which goes directly to the pet rescue

    And that’s why I’m happy to pay the full freight for my two calendars.

    Hurray!! And they’ll arrive with plenty of time to divide up and re-ship to all the very good girls and very good boys on my list this year. Also, used PayPal to hopefully skirt the credit card fee.

     

    @Gin & Tonic: Indeed. No parrots, ferrets or farm animals in this lot.

    @Fair Economist: Heartily seconded!

    @WaterGirl:

    The CafePress site has thumbnails to preview the individual pages, but they did not work for me, even with “Shields Down” in Brave.  Might be worth testing when you get a moment.

    There go two miscreants

    December 3, 2020 at 3:51 pm

    @Nutmeg again: (or, an LP–unlikely!)

    One Xmas I used an LP sleeve from the used record bargain bin to disguise a calendar. (I kind of miss the ingenuity I used to need to disguise obvious gifts.)

    On-topic: Ordered a “B” for my grandkids.

  26. 26.

    WaterGirl

    December 3, 2020 at 3:57 pm

    @Mary G: We are considering a couple of different ways, but we haven’t worked out all the details yet.

    Are you thinking you’d like the .pdf version of the calendar digitally?

  27. 27.

    WaterGirl

    December 3, 2020 at 4:00 pm

    @Frank Wilhoit:  Oh, we are well aware.  That’s why I put up the posts with all the individual pages earlier this week. The Cafe Press preview is awful.

    The links to the earlier posts where you can see the individual pages are in the sidebar.

  28. 28.

    Mary G

    December 3, 2020 at 4:04 pm

    @WaterGirl: Yes, because I look at them once or twice and they sit around gathering dust because I have nowhere to hang things.

  29. 29.

    WaterGirl

    December 3, 2020 at 4:05 pm

    @Gin & Tonic: They are the same cats, little kitties in Calendar A and grown-up kitties in Calendar B.

    Both from the same jackal who is a talented photographer.

    We loved the idea of the same cats on the two calendars for a consistent theme.

    December 3, 2020 at 4:06 pm

    @BruceFromOhio: Hey, we have a duck next to a bunny in one of the months, and we have snakes. (shudder)

    I think we have a nice array of pets this year.  :-)

    I ordered one for us and one for our cat-loving cleaner.

    In for a B calendar! Nice coincidence is that our cat Morty has his birthday in May, the same month that you have him and Stewie in. ?

  34. 34.

    December 3, 2020 at 4:57 pm

    I ordered both! Love that I can look at photos of everyone’s pets! Thanks for doing this!

    As a Cat Person I am fine with this, but I have to ask: how come only cats are on the covers of both calendars?

    (cats rule, dogs drool!)

    No parrots, ferrets or farm animals in this lot.

    Next year!

    @WaterGirl: MrsFromOhio has a couple of bunny pictures for next year as well, when submissions re-open.

    I’m just thrilled it got done before solstice, and looks tres fab.

    Indeed. No parrots, ferrets or farm animals in this lot.

    Look again elsewhere.

    Both a parrot AND a pretty little snake!!

    December 3, 2020 at 5:16 pm

    @BruceFromOhio: I do think they are especially lovely this year.

    Going to two calendars left fewer photos on a page, and more room for Beth to work her design magic. There’s only so much design you can do when you are trying to get 20 pets on a page.

    We had so many entries this year, it would have been 30 to a page, and everyone would have been a postage stamp.  I thought having two calendars worked out great.

    December 3, 2020 at 5:38 pm

    @J R in WV: THat reminds me, did R-Jud and her daughter say they had found their corn snake? I remember seeing a while back that it had escaped, much to their distress.

  44. 44.

    I bought 2 – one for me and one for my ex-wife!

    just so you know, the link to our non profit is correct, but our name is Wet Mountain Animal Welfare. rescue won’t get you to our FB page…

  46. 46.

    WaterGirl

    December 3, 2020 at 7:20 pm

    @Miss Bianca: Nothing more on the missing corn snake.  But R-Jud’s 35-year-old sister had a stroke a week or two ago, and she hasn’t been back to Balloon Juice since then.

    So we don’t know how it’s going on either front.

  47. 47.

    Just bought one of each. One for me and one for my buddy and his wife, both of whom are cat people.

    One of each for me, so lovely to see all the goodest good girls and bois, and to help the folks on the Wet Mountain.

    Bought an ‘A.’ Looking forward to seeing Miss Gaby when June rolls around.

    Buying an A version calendar today to give to my cousin. The B option seems a bit cat heavy and he and his wife are very definitely dog people!
