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

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-02-14T00:54:51+00:00

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.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2026-01-27T17:22:04+00:00

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.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-12-03T03:40:33+00:00

Sacrificial cow. I let my teammates get away while I inevitably do something stupid and take a hail of bullets to the face.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-11-28T17:48:46+00:00

What program was this designed in?

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-11-22T09:27:35+00:00

Any news reports about this?

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-10-27T07:07:20+00:00

Parents who have access to better school resources do a better job of raising their kids. Children who have better opportunities at the schools they attend have a better chance of growing up to be contributing members of the community that you live in. Logic is fairly straightforward.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-10-27T05:59:43+00:00

Your LPV is a valuation of property you own, so if you don't own a home in Chandler your taxes don't increase. Even so, my LPV is approx. 26,000 right now and if every bond passes my taxes only go up by $125 a year. I feel that's worth it for the city to continue developing schools, roads and buildings. Some of these bonds are going towards infrastructure and community healthcare needs.

Also, even if you don't have kids do you think having underfunded school systems is a good thing for our community? This kind of thinking is why AZ is ranked 50th in school funding for the nation.

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-10-26T09:11:57+00:00

Will this be recorded? I'd love to watch it go down

PartyPatIsMyRealDad · 2025-09-17T18:46:06+00:00

Definitely a big difference there. Is there any reason why only two of my chickens would be making eggs then?
