Many of you don't know that when I left TV news, I took a job shooting videos for the Washington Department of Natural Resources. It gave me the chance to build my independent media work in my personal time, which was not an option as a TV reporter given my contract in corporate news. When I was hired, I was encouraged to keep my social media presence. Recently, my bosses informed me that I was to stop all videos related to Covid safety, vaccines and mandates that “undermine” DNR's policies, as DNR is one of many state agencies with a vaccine mandate, though ours was enacted by Public Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz and separate from Gov. Inslee's order. My independent work was done on personal time with personal equipment and I never discussed my position at DNR. I also informed my bosses that I had a First Amendment right to continue, and that the policy of a state agency committed to science should align with robust discussion that includes a variety of viewpoints. They disagreed. I refused to comply and was terminated last week.
I am truly grateful for the many wildland fire fighters whose stories I’ve had the honor of telling, as well as the fuels crews fixing the forest health crisis driving historic fires. We nearly evacuated twice this year, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that the work of DNR staff across the state saved our home and thousands of others.
While there are many unknowns for our family, not the least of which is finding a new health insurance plan (any suggestions?), we are absolutely unwavering that it was the right decision. How could I continue covering censorship and allow myself to be censored on one of the most important topics of my lifetime? There are a great many people taking grave risks right now - many of them you've seen in my videos - and those of us who stand up for free speech and informed choice right now will hopefully pave the way someday for others to do so without losing their jobs. I got into journalism to follow the truth wherever it leads, and I will continue. I am planning to record a video to discuss this publicly on YouTube. Would you please let me know what questions you'd like me to answer in it? In sum, our family is incredibly grateful for your support here. I have absolutely no regrets. I said once that free speech is the hill I would die on - but just to be clear, as I've said before, I did not commit suicide. 😉 Be brave. We are in this together.
I cut refined, processed sugars a couple years ago but I have a MAJOR sweet tooth (which I’ll blame on my dad’s genetics). As many of you know, I have been making homemade chocolate ever since (also thanks to my dad who taught me how), and it has satisfied all cravings. Big thank you to Medea Galligan with New Earth Natural Medicine for suggesting we switch from cocoa powder to cacao powder to really make it superfood chocolate! (She does consults to help you heal with real food, so check her out!) Our chocolate is full of antioxidants, MCTs, prebiotics, probiotics, minerals, vitamins and it’s also delicious. It’s so easy to make with kids, and now we are selling it at farmer’s markets! Try it and let me know how it turns out - or just come to a market and buy it from us!
I made this video for the other social media platforms with their licensed music, so it’s a silent video here. But I figured I’d post because I’d like to know - how do you take your cod liver/butter oil (if you buy it)? I shoot mine back with water. The kids chase it with raw milk.

Hulk Hogan was my neighbor growing up on Clearwater Beach. We used to see their family out enjoying the sand just like the rest of us. So when I heard the news that he died, I packed the kids into the truck and drove to his restaurant, Hogan’s Hangout. My dad told me yesterday he appreciated that Hogan took a small business approach to his restaurant and store, unlike some of the mega corporations who have moved in over the years. Bill Dorris is back for this one - in case you missed him! We tried to get this live on Locals but Lynn was running the show from our house and was having a hard time figuring out how to get it set up. Let me know what you think about Hulk below.

In case you missed the livestream today, YouTube demonetized my update about neutering our goats, saying it violates their standards regarding adult and sexual content.
Now only 18+ can watch the video, even though my 5-year old watched the actual procedure and 4H kids everywhere do this daily. My appeal was denied after their “review” confirmed the lewd nature of showing my goats’ balls. There is no blood in this video. Just a set of goat balls with a rubber band around them.
How do we encourage people to learn where their food comes from, or even to encourage self-sufficiency and the hard work of farming, without showing them the reality of the day-to-day operations? This video detailed how to know if banding worked - or if your animal needs medical attention. It’s important information.
Do a quick search on YouTube about post-op humans (including kids) removing or adding body parts and you’ll find no shortage. But goat balls cross the line.
This is how diet-related heart ...
