Little Hooves & Cascadia

Seeds are sprouting. There were casualties, however, by a four-legged creature named Bridget, who toppled the little container of golden cherry tomatoes. They needed to be thinned anyway, but I never thought it would be via massacre.

While hopeful, we're unsure if we'll have foals this year, so we're starting a veggie garden and setting up a farm stand to keep the farm productive. Thanks to the horses, we have an ample supply of compost and manure. We want to contribute to feeding people and fighting against food insecurity.

Hard to say even anything in writing will bind Trump. He'll find a way to wriggle out of every law and binding agreement.

It's retaliation at the courts.

It doesn't surprise, but we can't afford to grow numb, either.

100% this. You know we're under an all-out fascist totalitarian regime once they start trying to control the arts, which are the ultimate freedom of speech.

Hitler also attacked the arts, called artists, like Picasso, "degenerates" and launched his own "anti-DEI" campaign against homosexual people, drag, and of course Jewish people.

Trump took notes from his favorite world leaders, Putin, Netanyahu, to become like Hitler! Welcome to totalitarianism.

Because of course Trump's administration is going to prevent us knowing how this disease can spread. Plus Vance has a thing against cat ladies.

Sunny wants to know what's up with this weather. What's all that white stuff?

I guess I got under his skin. He blocked me. I hope his wife learns who he really is and gets out. I would never stay with a guy like that.

It sounds like you hate abortion more than you love your wife. 50% chance she won't always be your wife.

It's cute you think your wife would never need one. There's always a risk. Something can go wrong and if there's an abortion ban, doctors will let her get to the brink of death, might not be able to save her, risk her life, limbs, and function because a potential life is worth more than her own.

This is actually quite important if you studied Germany and art history of the 1930s and 40s. A certain German leader did the same thing...

Hitler. It was Hitler. Any art he didn't like, he called "degenerate"... and he called a lot of people "degenerates"... people who ended up in camps. This is definitely a page from fascism.

In studying art history, I learned that Hitler did the same thing. Nazi America, here we are.

"Children" are patients because they have a birthday. There are plenty of prolife misinformation anti-abortion sites you can cite to confirm your bias, but it will never change that a pregnancy is a health condition, and procedures on a fetus lists the pregnant person as the patient, not the fetus.

You can prevent abortions by getting a vasectomy. 100% of abortions start with an ejaculation.

My OB/GYN visits never established my pregnancy as a "patient" until she was born. If you're going to use that word, you need to know what it means.

The nuance was lost on you, wasn't it, Jim? Jim, who probably doesn't have a uterus, Jim. In 1861, women and children were basically slaves already, because we were considered property. Abortion bans are a way to drive women back into "slavery," to lose autonomy. Think outside your perspective, Jim.

He was always heartless. How does this make eggs cheaper?

Don't like abortion? Then don't get one. But stop with this lie. Embryos do not have a birthday or recorded name. These are the identifiers of a patient. Until then, the only patient on record is the person with the uterus, and pregnancy is a "diagnosis."

Our 2024 Caspian colt Cascadia Cinnabar headed to his new home today. Congrats to his owner, who is no stranger to Caspians! She couldn't wait to get this little guy, a naturally sweet fellow that will be a perfect companion gelding for her mare and a child's mount for her young family members.

Trump will be the new Reagan. By the time my daughter hits middle age, everything negative will go back to Trump.

They gotta find a way to punish people for living. Like insurance companies raising your rates because you dare to file a claim.

Masculine energy? Made-up phrase for a made-up problem.

Look at health information on social media with a good amount of skepticism and always double check with other sources. Health misinformation, antivaxxers, and fad diets existed long before social media, but social media algorithms make it harder to ensure people get the right info vs viral info.

Utah has a big "supplements" industry. Lots of pyramid schemey businesses peddling everything under the sun as a fountain of energy or youth. Homeopathic, scents, stones, Gummyberry juice...

New roof and siding! It was extremely difficult to get financing, though. Why? Thanks to Trump's tariffs in 2019, many U.S. farms defaulted, and banks and CUs pulled away from financing "agriculture." Even though we easily refinanced in 2018, we were denied this year. Elections have consequences!

I saw the sign and it opened up my mind. And I am happy now living without you...

Disappointed in Facebook today. It's following in the footsteps of former Twitter.
