Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

2024 Pets of Balloon Juice are Available to Order!

2024 Balloon Juice Pet Calendars are ready to order on Cafe Press!

Calendar A – Lily on the cover

Review the 2023 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar A!

Calendar B – Steve on the cover

Final Preview of 2022 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar B! 1

All proceeds go directly to Athenspets!

Order calendars here.

There were a few requests to add a pet to the calendar, but there were too many to squeeze in, and not nearly enough to make another calendar, so that option didn’t turn out to be feasible.

But we can do a Favorite Dogs & Cats series in December, like we did last year, so you can share your pets with us!   (regardless of whether they are in the calendar or not)

And we can absolutely make your pet photo into a postcard for sale on Cafe Press, if you are interested.  We just need a high resolution photo, and an image that works with the shape of a postcard – in either portrait or landscape.

Balloon Juice Pet Postcards can be ordered here.  There are some really great postcards!

Any questions?

    Please refresh my memory, what’s the difference between A and B?  Other than the cover?

    Yay!  Thank you so much WaterGirl!

    Do the funds still go to the pet rescue in Athens?

    Done!  So easy.

    @Alison Rose:

    Thank you for the links.

    Calendar ordered!

    Alas, one of my two in the photo went over the Bridge a couple of months back. It never gets easier losing them.

    Is anyone else getting a big old blank screen when you’re wanting to check out? That’s what’s happening to me, anyway. Grrr. I really don’t want to have to try to call them.

    Could you post a list of pet’s names and which calendar they are in for those of us that missed the production posts?

    The postcards are great.

    Thanks.

    I see both RC Gizmo and Buzzy are featured in Calendar A. Looks like I’m getting a calendar.

    @wmd: If we were more greedy and evil, and less caring and logical, we would split people’s pets between the two calendars, thus forcing them to either buy two calendars or choose between their pets.  Or say “fuck you” and not buy any!

    @Lord Fartdaddy (Formerly, Mumphrey, Smedley Darlington Mingobat, et al.): I believe I answered this when it was first asked in the original calendar post this in November, but in case there is any confusion:

    Calendars weren’t available on Cafe Press last year, so we offered people the option of donating $10 through the thermometer, and getting a .pdf file of the calendar if they wished.  Perhaps you did that?

    In any case, the way to get a 2024 calendar is to place an order through Cafe Press.

    As always, the proceeds go to Athenspets.

    FYI, each calendar costs $14.99 to print on Cafe Press, and the remaining 10.01 for each calendar ordered goes directly to Athenspets.

    If anyone didn’t get their critter included or wants an electronic alternative (though the prints ones are for a good cause so definitely buy them for all your friends) I ran across these.

    The Army Corps of Engineers is back. Last year they had one that featured cats. Well they did do one that features cats this year and they also did one that features dogs. They really are good for a chuckle. And this year there is also one from DHS that features their dogs.

    I ordered my calendar.

    Thanks, Beth and WaterGirl, and all those who supplied photos of their awesome pets.

    Ordered 1 of each.

    One will be mine and one will be an xmas present. I’ll decide which is which when I see them……

    @WaterGirl:

    Just ordered on Safari and had zero problems.

    It may be a Safari problem, it may be an operating system problem, it may be a setup problem on a particular computer.

    It may be something else entirely. I’m using all the very latest updates – a not latest updated system is another possibility.

    Ordered 3 of Calendar B! That picture of Bella is so iconic, I miss her every day. Thanks so much for doing this and I’m happy to support Athens pets.
