In a time when personal identity is marketed for clicks and connection is curated through screens, I find myself reflecting on the narratives we chase — and the ones we quietly grieve. This thread explores the intersection of digital performance, generational longing, and the search for something more grounded, more meaningful, and maybe even more human.
In an age of industrialized agriculture, supply chain vulnerabilities, and rising food costs, many individuals and communities are rediscovering the value of growing their own food. Living off a piece of land—whether a small homestead or a larger communal farm—offers not only food security but also deeper connections to nature, healthier nutrition, and greater self-sufficiency.
While this lifestyle requires dedication and planning, the rewards far outweigh the challenges. By integrating sustainable farming techniques, permaculture principles, and traditional wisdom, a family or community can cultivate a resilient food system that provides year-round nourishment.
I’ve heard the song “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” by Procol Harum almost daily recently. They have the radio on in the kitchen at the cafe I frequent, and while many of the usual songs on “today’s top hits” radio are the same hits of the ’60s-’90s they play every day, this one stands out. There’s simply nothing else like it. But more importantly, it reminds me of my late father.
You’ve always got options. The world today practically demands you think outside the borders you and/or your children may have been born into. The covid FRAUD and other recent and ongoing hoaxes (OMG, CLIMATE!!! OMG, DEI!!! OMG, GENITALS!!! OMG, ZOMBIE CHICKENS!!!) should hopefully have challenged or rightly snapped your tired, distracted, or complacent mind out of any notion that your government truly has your best interests at heart. Good grief.
