Independent video creator Matt Orfalea just found out YouTube has demonetized his entire channel over a 13-second parody video from May 2014, saying it violates the “violent criminal organizations” policy. The video titled “Starbucks makes you evil | Elliot Rodger” features a clip of the deceased UC Santa Barbara killer Elliot Rodger drinking a Starbucks vanilla latte and saying: “Hey, Elliot Rodger here, enjoying a nice vanilla latte.” It ends with a graphic that says "Starbucks: Insanely overpriced beverages for psychopaths." In a tweet, Orfalea explained, "I’m obviously making fun of materialism, corporations, and narcissists. NOT organizing a violent criminal organization!!!!!!"
The kids mastered riding their bikes without training wheels over the weekend, so of course they had to challenge daddy to a bicycle duel. “Daddy, what tricks can YOU do?!” This is what ensued.
I like to keep my bones healthy and strong in case I fall off my bike doing tricks as someone in their mid 40s. That’s why I take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture - it’s packed with food-based vitamins and minerals as well as omega 3s, made the way our ancestors did it.

The kids and I just finished a weekend of door knocking to get the word out about the proposed cell tower in our neighborhood. I know I have a background in talking to strangers professionally but I have to tell you, it’s exhausting. On the plus side, I’m getting to know a lot of my neighbors which has been very cool.
Don’t forget you can help by sending an email to our county telling them you oppose the tower. Just reference Blue Sky Towers Application # CU-2026-00003. Email [email protected] by 9/10.
What would you tell your neighbors if you were door knocking like me? I’d love some ideas!
Mommy Cow, our Angus, is back from the Love Palace where she had a bull-friend for 3 months. We are hoping she is pregnant and we will have a healthy calf come Spring. She evaded capture for a month so her return here is a little late but I guess she wanted to stay at summer camp a little longer.
One product I faithfully took during my pregnancies is the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts which is packed with nutrients like vitamins A, D & K. Now my kids take it daily. I credit it with saving my teeth from chronic cavities. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
