Domestication is their natural environment! Also that's more than the world population of Kerry cattle and you used to see two of those all the time, too! You just didn't appreciate the rarity of the animals on your doorstep :(

It's not, that's expensive for rangeland in California, entirely because of the house on it. City prices in California are not good indicators of rangeland prices.

Here's a simple script you can use if you need one: "I'm calling to tell the representative that I support Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's articles of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito, and I am encouraging him to support them as well." That's all you need!

Incidentally one of the things people aren't mentioning about Project 2025 is that ending no fault divorce is in there which means if you have been thinking of getting divorced you should get a move on. Before, yknow, you can't anymore.

There is absolutely no safe way to have a commercial size farm supplying raw dairy and if that contamination actually came from a single cow I will eat an entire sagebrush raw.

Look. 1) there are no special health benefits to raw dairy products but there are plenty of health risks 2) if you want to consume raw milk, go buy a couple dairy goats and consume it only from animals whose health and husbandry you can verify and from supplies you have sanitized.

Communicate to your inner self & all your "parts:" you do not have to "earn" your right to safety & dignity. You do not have to "earn" the right to exist. Once upon a time, the people around us made us feel like we did-- but you don't have to "perform" to be valid. Not anymore.

I thought "I'll just go directly to the Anker webstore and buy them there and they might actually get them to me." I get to checkout and it says "Shipping by Amazon". I do not know why I ever try to buy myself a nice thing?

Amazon customer service told me it would for sure be delivered by 1100 today. It was not. UPS came and went, still substitute driver, different package arrived, still no earbuds. I now have a refund from Amazon.

When you're here we can use it to hike out and find out what they're eating! Today's wandering (they are now back at the barn waiting for evening alfalfa which happens in like 45 minutes)

I needed to double check snake related deaths per year in North America and the AI right at the top all colorful and purple said 5000 deaths. I KNOW that isn't true. But there is no reason someone else should. Ppl will take the shortest path to an answer, especially if it looks correct.

Call your rep today to encourage them to support AOC’s articles of impeachment. I will block anyone who tells me why they, personally, cannot and therefore why it’s pointless.

Me, looking down at the fundraising link in my reply to this, wondering if anyone else would like to kick in on a short film we shoot this weekend. (I will not be shirtless in it but I will be a coked up failson gangster, so that’s fun!) (Oh, we’re making it regardless of final fundraising amount)

Just called my rep AGAIN to tell them to sign onto this. Every D in the House should be a cosponsor. Yes, it won't pass the R-controlled House, but we have to make this an issue.

Please feel free to call your own rep if you feel similarly! You can find them here: www.house.gov/representati...

Old gay furries literally run the internet infrastructure and it would not surprise me to find out that a non-zero number of them are encouraging young gay furries in this kind of pursuit or indeed engaging in it themselves.
