Listen, you get what you get.
I bet you have seen things out there. Things you cannot quite explain, things people will tell you do not exist. Most people who live in the country have. Names called from the wood line. Lights with no possible source. Claw marks that do not belong to any animal known or

It is every man’s duty to wear his grandfather’s spooky-ass Pagliacci cellar clown outfit when he finds it.
Granddad hung this up in the brick cellar where he keeps the amontillado. I don’t know why.

This excellent post made me wonder: if YOU had a significant amount of disposable income, what sort of philanthropy or patronage would you champion?
I officially declare myself a Patron Of The Arts. I am buying art created by humans like a fiend . Shill me your art.

What is stopping you?. What is stopping you from building what you want to build, from realizing your dream?. What is shackling you to somedayism?

I guess whenever it happens to me it just kind of feels like I’ve gotten away with a weird practical joke on the universe. A boring father and novice beekeeper on a dirt road getting millions of views? . Just doesn’t feel like I should go viral. All you can do is laugh. 🤷🏻♂️
Had a post go viral yesterday. 1) Don’t know how you big guys do it. 2) If you’re a big account mutual, thanks for engaging with me. 3) Wow some people really do not like Jews. Like it’s weird.

You can just build a beautiful homage to your grandparents.
@OldHollowTree My grandparents' place where we spent the 80s growing up had bougainvillea arbors. I think I'll make bougainvillea arbors.

A fun idea here. Just crunchy enough to be convincing without being weird.

The children are asleep and it is time for me to try to sneak in a little organizing and tidying of the honey house before I too crash. Starting a business while holding down a day job is tiring but I know it will be worth it…

Still easily one of my top ten favorite posts of all time. There will ALWAYS be people who try to tear you down. Just keep going until what you do becomes real.
I garden they yell “LARP!” I rifle train they yell “LARP!” I raise sheep they yell “LARP!” I lessen dependency on global systems they cry “LARP!” I follow a traditional Catholicism they yell “LARP!” . This is a desperate attempt to define what is “real.”. I know what is real.

April -> July. Go big or start small. Embrace reckless optimism or wise caution. Whatever you do though, DO NOT WAIT FOR “SOMEDAY”!
