  • I was Reading a post earlier tonight where someone shared an anti Covid view point and dropped the whole big Pharma/government groupthink garbage.

    Every comment was telling them they would not be accepted here with those views.

    I checked a few hours later and the conspiracists comment was gone, but it did have the largest number of downvotes I’ve come across yet at 150ish.

    An echo chamber we need not be, but conspiracy garbage we need not at all.

    I just miss when conspiracies were fun and not essentially a threat to one’s livelihood.


  • Multigenerational living, on a farm. Most everything we eat or use comes from our property, our neighbors, or my husbands family’s property.

    I’m very well cognizant this is not an option for a lot of people, and I know how lucky I am to not have to spend money on bills most people have… it’s a big reason why I try to pay it forward in many ways, as often as I can.

    That said, I grew up in abject poverty… so I’m playing catch up, even now.

    Such is reality.






  • Im just going to step up and point out that I am not a podunk hillbilly living off the land. I am a well educated human being that left the city during the pandemic to keep all my food as local as possible (read: from my yard or my neighbors). I also sell at a farmstand on my own property, as well as donate to food pantries in my current area, the pantry for the neighborhood that raised me which is a food desert, and to my religiously affiliated (not a christian by any stretch, by the way) pantry.

    That said, I am not a European and maybe you have farmers/homesteaders out there that are like that-- but I kindly request you do not lump all of us into such a shit category.

    It’s not nice to make assumptions about a large group of people-- history has taught us that time and time again.

    On the massive corporate farms, however… no matter where-- you’re 100% correct.
