Farmer's Life

Yang: Gotta release the rams into the field with the ewes.

Weiss: .....Is that a euphemism?

Ruby: No?

Yang: If we want more kids to be birthed this year, we gotta let the males do their jobs.

Blake: (chokes on tea) You have kids?

Ruby: Baby goats.

Yang: (puts on her brimed hat and opens the door) I'll be back in about an hour with the rams.

Ruby: See you later, sis!

Weiss: I'm confused.

Blake: Chalk it up to farmer life?

-1 Hour Later-

Yang: Ruby! I'm back! Mind helping me with the trailer?

Ruby: On my way!

Blake & Weiss: (follow Ruby out of the house)

Weiss: I'm still confused. What's the- GOOD LORD!!!

Blake: (eyes wide and blinking in shock)

Yang: What's up?

Weiss: What in God's name are those?!

Ruby: Are what? (Glances at the rams trotting around the field) The... rams?

Weiss: No! The- The- The-

Blake: The basketballs hanging between their legs?!

Yang & Ruby: (blinks in confusion, glance back at the rams, and then back to Weiss and Blake) ....Their testicles?

Blake & Weiss: Their WHAT?!?!?!

The girls saw our horse getting his grain and were so very upset he wasn't sharing. They're usually a tad skittish but when grain is involved they damn near turn into puppies. 🤣

On this Mother’s Day I became a sheep mother 🐑

Bighorn Sheep on a Hillside on the Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: I've been at this exact same spot almost a year ago the July before. I've been lucky in that I had seen a group of a bighorn sheep ewes that afternoon. So here I was the next following year in May, and I had a chance to see several more bighorn sheep in that same spot!

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.

Sheep Tumblr

Do shepherds still hang bags of dyed chalk around the necks of rams and look for ewes with red backs to guess how many lambs they'll get that year?

Actual useless lesbians

My girlfriend is annoyed that I insist our lesbian sheep roleplay is zoologically accurate and thus we can't have sex, we just face away from each other and wait for the other to top

The best texts of the day are the ones with my sheep that my roommates send me

[valtsv]

this is entirely petty and personal but i cannot stand the word "whump" it's like unalive to me. just say you enjoy torturing your favourite character so that you can nurse them back to health again like a sickly baby bird they're not real it's okay.

Thanks @bluesgras for the idea. Leo doesn’t think Donnie is nearly as funny as the rest of them.
