I love the way we look at each other

🇵🇸Donate to Gaza🇵🇸 The team set up an educational tent in Mawasi, Khan Yunis, to educate children in Gaza (aged 6–12) after the collapse of the education system. The project needs your support to complete the equipment, which amounts to approximately £13k. https://t.co/lyrlMP9MLY

Went on a hike. Wild duck in the pond

And those young dairy hens will be paired with an unrelated rooster so a new bloodline to incubate with the eggs they lay

We did chicken inventory today to plan who is on the chopping block for the first meat harvest. I think we will do 8 total, 3 roosters and 5 hens. The young hens we have been raising will replace the older hens we keep for egg laying

Sweet sop lemonade

Successive planting is a musical rhythm, can you keep time? Yes I can

Up early doing fall plantings of cilantro and lettuce starts. Saved seed from last year

This is seriously what life is all about. Just fucking chilling with animals

Laying on a blanket in the field with the horse while he gets some fresh grass.

Favorite part about it is being outside from sun up to sun down. being in an orchard always feels great

Got a second olive net. We are doing efficiency this year!! It’s going to be a full harvest year

“Hormones, then, are not part of a biological program that influences us to act out the desires of our ancestors. They are a dynamic part of our biology designed to give us the ability to respond to the physical, social, and cultural environment.” - Lisa Wade

Postpartum is biological, it’s a unique hormonal phase too, but it’s also social and cultural as well. The same is true for fathers, their hormones are affected, but how they fare is dependent on layers of social and gendered entanglement, not hormones alone.

However these fluctuations in T are not deterministic of behavior, they’re one layer in the complexity of human response and decision making. Most studies fail to find direct relationships between T and sexual desire when fluctuating in normal ranges.

Related, Muller found lower testosterone levels in fathers from the Hadza population where paternal care is the norm compared to Datoga fathers who did minimal care https://t.co/wyMGeXkd1Q

Interestingly, biological anthropologist Lee Gettler found that fatherhood reduced testosterone levels in men, and more so fathers who spent time as physical caregiver of the infant. The biological and social can’t exactly be decoupled here… https://t.co/YF3x2aj6gH

Two coats on… almost time for trim 👩🏻‍🎨

Unsurprisingly Epstein was up to the exact same shit. Birth control used as a sex trafficking tool. It does not solve rape culture. It is more apt to describe it as a politically versatile technology Tw: https://t.co/8XU6TeWPnE
