I am going to make this into a video short for YouTube. I want your feedback!
1- We admitted that we were corporate Newsaholics and that our bias had become unmanageable.
2- Came to believe that a power greater than bias - called critical thinking - could restore us to sanity.
3- Made a decision to turn over our intentional blatant propaganda and less obvious lazy echo chambers to the care of critical thinking.
4- Made a searching and fearless inventory of the fake news we've produced.
5- Admitted to Twitter, to ourselves, and to Joe Rogan the exact nature of our disinformation, a word we commonly save for those questioning establishment narratives but rarely use for ourselves.
6- Were entirely ready to release our defects of news judgment which include but aren't limited to the following: group think, hubris, moral crusading, identitarianism, lack of time and resources, fear of independent journalism, post-Trump derangement syndrome, character defamation of outsiders, unquestioning trust of bureaucratic sources, regurgitating wires, and basic unresearched stupidity.
7- Humbly returned to a teleprompter, website or social media platform to see where we've removed our shortcomings without alerting anyone so as to paint an illusion that we are trustworthy when in fact we regularly make mistakes.
8- Made a list of persons, issues, and freedoms we've harmed - and became willing to make amends to them all.
9- Made direct amends to such people, issues and freedoms - especially those we've mislabeled conspiracy theorist, misinformation, or extremist in an effort to use our corporate power to silence others.
10- Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted that we repeat the false presumptions of our peers because it's safer than getting kicked off YouTube for telling the truth.
11- Sought through critical thinking to improve our capacity for truth wherever it may lead, seeking knowledge and the fearlessness to report it, even if that means questioning our archetypal public health patriarch, Dr Fauci.
12- Having had an awakening as the result of critical thinking encouraged by historic public distrust in our industry, we tried to carry this message to other corporate TV Newsaholics, and to practice these principles even if the New York Times writes a smear piece.
Our friends at The Wagon farm (who currently have Maisy cow with their bull at Love Camp) gifted us some of their worms to start our own worm farm. We were all very excited about all of the nutritious soil we’d soon have for the garden. That is, until rats decimated our new friends. 😫 I had no idea worms would be so vulnerable to rodents!
We will try again with a more secure container. There is always something trying to eat on this farm - some we like, some not so much.
Good thing I have the energy to start over again many times, which is required on any farm I suppose. We take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil blend from Green Pasture, which is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D, & K. Ditch the cheap fish oil that does nothing.

While kids are at vacation Bible school right now, our cows are both at vacation bull school, which I’ve also been calling Love Camp.
Mommy Cow, our angus, has been with an angus bull for almost 6-weeks and now Maisy, our mini Jersey/Dexter cross, is with a mini Jersey bull.
By the grace of God (and I truly mean that) I met another mom at church who happened to mention their family just got into farming and they bought an A2 Jersey bull. After two unsuccessful artificial insemination attempts using mini Jersey bull semen, I have been looking for the “real deal”. It is very hard to find a mini Jersey bull “for rent” - most people want to sell you the bull but I don’t want one here for safety reasons.
We had considered a (very cute) Highland bull but hadn’t taken Maisy there yet. Then, boom! The perfect bull just appears 30 minutes down the road. If all goes well, we should have a calf and fresh milk next Spring!
Don’t forget you can support the farm and your health by ...
I was sitting down to do some work at my desk/podcast studio and found a duck egg on it. I have no clue how it got there, when, or why it was there. I’m pretty sure the duck didn’t lay it there. But who knows. Anything is possible on this farm. I’ve seen weirder things and Lily is known to bring animals inside. 🤔
Eggs are a staple for our health. So is the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://greenpasture.org/ which is packed with nutrition for your brain, joint, muscle, immune and gut. Use promo code “ALISON” at checkout for 10% off. Have a great weekend!
