Watching doc about resilience that reaffirms many changes I made last few years to my mental outlook (I read a LOT of brain books). Brains are hallucination engines. If the story is the world is shit, everything is fucked, brain reframes every interaction this way. It impacts behavior; shuts us down

It’s frustrating that Democrats are scuffling to win any battles
But the Republicans control all 3 branches of the government
Which is why we MUST keep pushing the Trump/Epstein connection
Because the administration can’t simply make it go away with legislation, litigation or any Executive Order

So anyway let's talk about various risks involved with raw milk. Those risks come in a couple categories: animal health, and sanitation/contamination risks.
Ok look. I have drunk raw goat milk and I probably will again, because when I do it I own the goats and am intimately familiar with their health and the way they're milked and the way the milk is handled. There is NOTHING that would induce me to purchase commercialized raw milk. Nothing.
The coffee is tested for aflatoxin, the raw milk is *not* tested for Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Campylobacter.

It's only necessary because they refuse to move and their subscribers refuse to encourage them to move by unsubscribing and providing a reason why. Funding and platforming Nazis is never ever necessary imo. With a little collective action, no left leaning person would be paying monthly Nazi tithes.
I'm always confused about the substack issue. I subscribe to trans and feminist journalists like Erin Reed and Jessica Valenti and I haven't found the type of reporting they do elsewhere besides Propublica, which I also support. Indie/nonprofit media is great but Substack seems necessary too.

Correction: The $900 million cut is just to NPS operations. They want to cut another $308 million from an NPS Historic Preservation, Construction and Recreation funds.
So, its closer to a 40% cut to the NPS budget.

Please read/share if you love your national parks!
New from @pamherd.bsky.social & me: A DOGEr is now running the National Park Service.
They were already short of employees to manage record crowds. DOGE has cut 13% and wants to cut 30%.
