“Maybe I ached for some chaos, any chaos, something to liven up the days that had grown too quiet, too calm without the daily drama of dating a dumbass.” 🤣

As a person who assisted in the gelding of baby pigs on my uncle's farm as a too-young-for-pigshit lad, I heartily endorse your decision to outsource the goat denutting duties. It's a bloody mess, sure, but for me it's the piglet SCREAMING that keeps reappearing in my untimely nightmares decades later that would have been nice to avoid.

Also, you could take up a collection for the Sinead procedure so people could give a small donation in honor of "dudes we wish had been gelded before it was too late."

I'd chip in $5 in honor of Harvey W. to start, but SO MANY CHOICES these days!

Also also: May any being named after Sinead sing their highly inconvenient truths until the evil bastards finally hear it coming for them, loud and proud.

Mascot of Kindness! How great to hear from you. This fundraiser idea is brilliant! And yes, unfortunately way too many choices. Sorry you had to do that to wee little pigs. If only there were a way to transport Molly Ivins, Barbara Jordan, Sinead and all the other gone-to-soon ladies back here for just a few months, surely they would clean this shit up. I’m grateful for the distraction of goat nuts, a forced break from doom scrolling. Today I was so ready for a news break that I very cheerfully flushed shit out of the hose connecting airstream to septic. It was a dogdamn breath of fresh air compared to 47 and (F)Elon.

That was a refreshing post after all the wee hours doom scrolling! I was walking by the White House when the Air Force 1 Helicopter 🚁 took off with 47 after the Zelensky debacle! Now I am back home and doing my best to welcome spring! I grew up on a farm immersed in dear crazy animals! Goats were my buddies!!

It's like a "pastor in training" in 1988, a New England suburban kid, inseminating a Limosean ( sp) cow, running a combine and a farm tractor. I gurantee never again. Learned a lot that summer however...
