Mostly mothering, but also always learning something. Farmer. Maker of tallow soap and canner of produce. Stacker of sats and worshipper of the triune God.

#plebchain I don’t know how to tell who zapped me - so I can zap back - am clearly dumb - but don’t blame the farm marm instead please help. I’m using Damus and Wallet of Satoshi….

😂can just hear Trudeau’s snivelling-righteous “and we have Canadians’ backs” as lockdown is announced [shudder] ugh.

What’s going on, plebs? The world is upside down and on fire and the snowball to the precipice continues to accelerate, but as for me and my love, we’re sitting by our humble wood fire, sipping wine and laying plans for the garden this year and our children’s ongoing musical and literary repertoires. With prepping related sub-tangents.

And you? How are you telling the overlords to fuck off this evening?

Would love to know what the nostriches are doing *this weekend* to get more expensive to tyranny. In my little corner:

-rendering more tallow

-visiting a couple round balers for sale in hopes of hay sovereignty this season

-taking inventory of storage pantry (feeds into my working pantry)

-picking up a few extra hours in the fiat mine to roll into the stack

Now let’s hear some other weekend plans.

I am located in Ontario, so I’m only just starting to think about the upcoming growing season and getting some seeds started. Right now it’s still very snowy here. I decided this year I will grow way more of fewer things. Last year I tried too many things and many things failed. I know what is easy for me to grow (and preserve) so going to keep it simple this year! Tomatoes (cherry, heirloom coloured varieties) green beans, culinary herbs, butternut squash, lettuces, a few melons, pumpkins. I’ll rely on my perennial collection to fill in: asparagus, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and I have an orchard that is too young to fruit yet but getting there 🤞🏻 I am building a collection of perennial medicinal herbs as well. From seed, so it takes some time but hopefully will have an amazing tool chest in future. Then I have hens and beef cattle. Thinking of getting a Jersey for milk; waiting till things “out there” get really bad for that because it’s a huge commitment so means we’re largely not going anywhere.

Do you grow a garden?

So…90 days till economic collapse, or…?

Alright #plebchain I am looking for fellow homesteaders, book readers, analog lifestyle enjoyers, tallow appreciators and unacceptable fringe members to 🤝 and 🥂 on nostr. I’m not super interested in talking about nostr or even bitcoin (😮) because for me it’s a settled fact of life that I stack sats. Where are my frens? Who is making weekendy plans to do homesteadish things? Anyone down for making some soap on nostr? Maybe pressure can some Yukon golds for hash browns on Sundays?

There has to be a purple place to chat about important matters like which varieties of tomatoes for this year; Solar freezer backups etc.

What’s up, nostr? As for me, I’m sipping wine by the fire after a heck of a hometown hockey game in which my son scored a beautiful goal. The world is well on its way to the shitter but I’m too busy raising my family and striving for excellence and wholesome goodness to be black pilled.

Alternate take: man loses 100 pounds on all McDonalds diet…because he is slowly dying….
