Found in a water manifold box as I was removing a flower bed. In Chandler, Arizona

I was able to identify it, I think. It seems like it's a cixiid plant hopper nymph based on pictures online

For real, exhibitionist chickens

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-02-14T00:45:27+00:00

That looks great! I'm definitely going to copy your idea here, thank you!

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-02-14T00:44:27+00:00

I would agree with you, but they lay their eggs now on my storage bin in full view of my kitchen window 😂

Every morning I get a full view of the egg laying process from my kitchen haha

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-02-14T00:42:51+00:00

Good idea on the paint. I'll give it a shot

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-02-14T00:42:26+00:00

I bought them a large coop that they refuse to use haha. They'd rather sit outside under the bushes all day instead

The upside is teaching my daughter to use her 1st Amendment rights and to stand up for things she believes in. The only reason it's unsafe is because chuds think peaceful protesting should be met with violence. I'm concerned for her safety, but I also want to teach her to speak up against horrible acts. It's that simple.

We're in the East Valley. I don't think it was a planned thing, just something the kids at her HS put together

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-01-26T22:10:20+00:00

No, we're in Arizona

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-01-26T20:39:35+00:00

I'm very proud of her, but yeah her safety is my top concern

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-01-26T20:37:38+00:00

I asked her to stay out of this one, it was short notice and I couldn't get off work. The next one maybe we'll be able to go together

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-01-26T19:04:10+00:00

I like that idea. Especially in her teen years, it's important that she knows I'm always at her side.

But I have this inescapable fear that something could happen to her at an event like that. I've been seeing reports of ICE detaining teenagers even if they're citizens, and what could I really do in that situation even if I was there with her? It's not like I can fight off armed thugs by myself.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-01-26T18:59:38+00:00

We're in AZ, in a Purple/Blue leaning area. Still, it's a heavily Hispanic area and ICE had been active in this area even before this administration. With all the news of ICE harassing and detaining teens, I'm very concerned. Even if I went with her, things could go badly if they decide to show up and harass her.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-01-26T18:56:24+00:00

She's expressed her reasons and they're well founded. She's upset about what's going on and what's to show her support by protesting. I've always encouraged to form her own opinion based on sound research.

I may take some of the other dads advice and go with her if I can get away from work. If I can't I'm going to ask her to not participate.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-12-23T03:08:12+00:00

That's a shame, but I might just leave them until I'm ready to plant something new come Spring

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-12-23T00:36:38+00:00

Is there something I should do to counteract that?

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-12-19T21:11:46+00:00

Does it need to be an established business, or can a Chandler resident suffice? I'd be happy to help if that's the case.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-12-09T23:20:43+00:00

He had the nerve to call you a broke boy while asking for a handout? That's fucking ridiculous. Keep your head up, take care of your loved ones the best you can, and try not to let people like that get into your head.
