Too many Ayrshires, not enough time. Half dairy farmer, half writer, all parent. Mostly cheese and kid stories.
Wait, and Erika Kirk, too, right?
There's something a little odd about Usha Vance, Caroline Levitt and Katie Miller all being pregnant at the same time.

I’ve seen several posts of folks sharing the transcript from someone’s Substack. That is a platform that financially supports Nazis. So here is a link to the transcript from a source that isn’t a Nazi bar. It’s a major speech worth reading, unlike any speech from the orange guy

The political spectrum under Trump according to me.
1. People appalled and terrified by what is happening and what is yet to come.
2a. People who have only a vague idea of what is going on and don't believe it can be that bad.
2b. As above, but they are angry at 1 for "being hysterical"

Most users I know don't want virality, but they do want a base of regular mutuals who respond to them in normal social ways, and that's something that can be missing here.

Update: He just walked in the door with a tote containing two Atari systems, a Coleco, and a load of games, so apparently my fear was misplaced.
When my husband is late getting home from work, my OCD tries to convince me that I sent him to his death by asking for cereal when what I really did was send him to the grocery store by asking for cereal.

Every candidate that accepts money from Musk should be asked how they feel about nonconsensual porn generation, the documented racism at Tesla, the environmental destruction around X's data centers, and, Musk's overt white supremacist posting on X.

This is funny, but also true. Whole milk isn't really whole. It's standardized to 3.25% butterfat through homogenization. It's taken apart and put back together, not whole. Some breeds have higher butterfat, some have lower. Butterfat increases and decreases throughout a lactation and season.
Y’all can end the war on whole milk if you want, but you gotta start calling it by its real name: homo milk.
