🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈ATTENTION: Colorado just passed the Kelly Loving Act, protecting trans people from being intentionally misgendered or deadnamed. The bill also shields parents who support their kids’ access to gender-affirming care. It now heads to Gov. Polis for signature.

How I slowly changed my mind about gender affirming care

I have never owned a credit card in my life. The idea simply never appealed to me. I think it went against my free-spirited nature:

Why would I spend money I don’t have and put myself in jail paying it back? I really don’t like owing people money, and I avoid paying for things in installments. If I cannot pay for something in full, I am not ready to have it. 

Some people have told me credit cards are great for building credit and that you need one if you want to buy a house someday. I am sure th…

When they said “I miss the old you,”

what they meant was:

“You used to abandon yourself for me.”

You changed—but only because you stopped bleeding for people who watched you die slowly.

It’s crazy how much we tie an Artists’ value to fame and money. None of my favorite musicians are famous. I have entire playlists filled with a genre of music that simply never went mainstream, and that’s the music that speaks to my soul.

I love how you and Jill demonstrate how you can live a passionate yet balanced life and how you fight to keep it that way. I am a homesteader myself who looks at having my freedoms dismantled on a daily basis. I’ve worked very hard to be at the place that I am at (66 this year) and will also fight to keep it. Thank you for sharing and showing it can be done. Tina from Willow Aspen Farm, Idaho.

Being in Idaho, how do you feel about the years-long geoengineering in that state? I am in Washington, and have noticed a marked increase in unnatural weather actions and patterns--desertification and crop destruction seem purposeful, not natural. Butt today's internet makes it very hard to find the info I need to confirm this. Thoughts? Thanks!

One of my continual research is cloud seeding; I take photos of the sky almost everyday now. Colorado began cloud seeding about 30-40 years ago, hoping that seeding clouds would help with drought conditions, & increase snowfall in the Rocky Mountains, & help increase the water level in the Colorado river basin. But, it seems the continual cloud seeding has only created constant streams of clouds, & not helped with increased rainfall . I intend to keep taking photos, & collecting data & will get in contact with my local representatives, & find out why cloud seeding continues! This is definitely a change in our particular weather pattern & my concern is the chemical used over & over!
