#Uyghur #China Jewher Ilham is a Uyghur Muslim who fled China after her father was arrested at the airport as they were heading to Indiana University for a visiting professor engagement. Soon after, he was sentenced to life in prison for being a political dissident. He told his daughter to continue on to the United States for a new life, that he'd rather she "sweep streets in the United States than stay in China". Ilham is now living in the United States and working on a documentary about the Chinese government forcing Uyghurs into detainment camps where they are tortured and used for forced labor. The camps have been described as re-education camps and the Chinese government claims they're addressing extremism. Ilham says their claims are false. She does not know if she will ever see her father again.
Raise your hand if you’re the farm husband of a “low maintenance” woman who has a to-do list for you longer than Santa’s. 👋 We thank you for your service. Now get back to work on that fence.
I woke up Sunday to find that my trusty stead of 32 (almost 33) years, Sassy, had a swollen cheek with a rather hard lump. Our vet, Dr Julia Simonson, came to examine her and I thought it would be interesting for folks to hear it “right from the horse’s mouth.” Examining a horse’s mouth without sedation can be tricky but thankfully Sassy is rather tame because I harassed her so much as a kid. 🤣 We saw what appears to be an ulcer or abscess likely from some kind of cut or foreign object. No signs of infection and it is slowly healing itself. I really appreciate having a veterinarian who supports the “monitor and support nutritionally” approach, and does not intervene pharmaceutically unless she believes it’s truly medically necessary. It’s very difficult to find a vet (or a human doctor frankly) these days with this mindset.
I hate to admit this but we just took down our Christmas tree a few days ago, weeks after our neighbors had decorations up for Valentine’s Day. I would blame it on the farm but we have always been late getting rid of our tree. I think our record is early March. At least this year we have a free tree removal service!

I remember when so-called conservatives were adamantly against the "Fairness Doctrine". Hypocrisy never ends. Cries for fairness doctrine is always a clear sign of who knows they have lost support.
I don't support any side.
