Hi to all the new folks! My spouse and I, along with our children, live in rural Virginia where we raise goats, rabbits, & chickens (& sometimes hogs) as well as most of our own produce to provide our family with clean food while minimizing our impact on the earth. #SmallFarmLife

Hey @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social ~44-48 million in the U.S. have experienced long Covid. Risks increase with each new reinfection. Political leaders are dismantling public health more & more each day.
I'm a big comedy fan but how is it funny to punch down to people who wear masks in 2025?

When I'm crawling under the house to run ethernet, maneuvering my body under/around duct work, pipes, wires, and fallen insulation, I feel like I look just like Catherine Zeta-Jones in that Entrapment scene with the lasers. Not too far off...

This is a nice donation, but I’m old enough to remember when universal school meals was our nationwide policy across the United States of America, way back in the early 2020s. We can and should do that again.

Welp the google AI got a few things wrong (we were definitely NOT a Christian music group...) but I'll happily take songwriting credits and the associated royalties. Anyway, some joy through your ear holes from a much younger me and a few of my friends.

Ugh... Heat pump wasn't working, outdoor fan wasn't blowing, just pumping air over the aux heat coils. Tested all wires outside and under the house, everything seemed ok. Went back inside and discovered the google thermostat had lost knowledge of the o/b wire when power surged the other day 🙃

I was told we were low on baking powder, so there's another 4 lb container on the way from Costco (the one pictured isn't even opened yet...) I guess we're making a boatload of cookies this weekend 🍽️

I knew Mavis Staples had released a new album but I hadn't gotten around to listening to it yet. Thank you, Jason, for putting this on my radar. Excellent album, excellent review as well.
Follow Jason for some more music. I'm excited for the rest, especially if this one came in at number 10!

At 86, it’s more clear than ever how far the music and ethos of Mavis Staples has spread. Sad and Beautiful World is a celebration not only of Mavis, but of the many generations of artists influenc…

Supposed to drop down to 17F/-8C overnight with a few inches of snow projected so we'll see if these kale plants can hold on. Hedging my bets by harvesting a bunch for dinner later just in case... 🌱
