We are grateful four our goats and how they nourish and provide for us.

It is now possible to see more Pronghorn in a single winters day than there were on the entire Canadian prairies a hundred years ago. The Canadian pop'n once declined to 3000- 5000 individuals , but now stands ~40K.
entering that liminal space between the holidays and the new year
You realize that this can be fixed with one extremely simple solution right? And also if you let bigots drive everyone off this site then its existence as a non-nazified alternative to Twitter is obsolete.
In the past month alone, over 12M people joined Bluesky, with daily active users growing 10x. We received more reports in two days than in all of last year, and have integrated new systems and quadrupled our moderation team to try and keep up. Sometimes, we have to work quickly to correct errors.
That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
The backup stickers I ordered from DieCutStickers have all arrived! A bit late (thanks to Rockin Monkey totally ripping me off and lying about delivery!), but it is what it is. I officially have more stickers in stock than letters in the alphabet o.O #vinylsticker #artforsale #indieartist #art
Janice and her granddaughter, Penny. You can see how their eyes swivel in this video. Their pupils typically stay level to the ground to scan the horizon for predators. It’s such a cool adaptation. The resemblance between these two is uncanny, both in looks and attitude. 🤎🖤
Hey, if you post Ai bullshit as a reply to anything I post, it’s an instant block. Thanks. ✌🏻
Out on the scarred salt flats of Trona, walks a mineral -encrusted mule. The specter can be spotted at sunrise, wandering about the steam vents and mineral planes of the dry lake. The mule showed up when prospectors were surveying the area for its worth. Digital, Illustrated for Barren Lands.
Two little chèvre’s from our goats. Two years ago, we started a backyard goat farm and this year I learned to make cheese. It’s been a journey to get to this point and we’ve got lots of goals ahead. We are so grateful for our goats and their hard work. It’s been a privilege to work with them.
I do a lot of hiking here in Los Cerrillos. I often ponder the ocean that used to be here and what sort of creatures swam along the trails I now walk over. Sometimes you can sense them in the night, when the wind blows and sounds just like the sea. 🌊 “Bones From Those First”, gouache on paper.
