It’s been stormy every day this week so I have been frustrated every time I do not have my camera near to catch a storm.  I left the camera running almost the entire time for this storm and made very few edits.  iMovie kind of destroyed the original quality so I will re-edit this one once I get Final Cut.  For now, for your viewing pleasure, here it today’s storm.

Gid wasn’t the best fiddler to come out of northern Georgia during the 1920s, but he was a colorful character and the charismatic leader of the seminal old-time string band The Skillet Lickers.

I’ve been thinking about it long and hard and I finally decided on what I want my Cartel tattoo to be. I was listening to one of my favorite songs by them, Georgia and it just hit me. So…drum roll please, here it is…

“What good does us reason if we fail to see? What good does us freedom is we fail to be free?”

Basically, I cannot wait!

“

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal’s program to replace fleeing migrant farm workers with probationers backfired when some of the convicted criminals started walking off their jobs because field work was too strenuous, it was reported Wednesday.

And the state’s farms could lose up to $1 billion if crops continue to go unpicked and rot, the president of the Georgia Agribusiness Council warned.

Hmmm no…The other day someone said he like this one picture of me two years ago because I was ‘busty”. No, I never have been- you can credit my supposed bustiness to a good bra and flattering shirt.

Oh and then he said I’m going to feed you so much so you can look like that again. So yea I took that in a negative way. I was ticked.

I went vegan out of pure disgust for what I was eating, and for what I’d eaten all my life. The truth of the matter is, I think cannibalism is fucking unbearably gross - and eating animals is not different. Whether it’s a product of an animal, the eggs, or the flesh itself, it’s all the same. I went vegan because I no longer wanted to be a speciesist hypocrite contributing to an industry that commits genocide on hundreds of thousands of harmless creatures with the same natural right we have to not be made to die prematurely or be exploited. As it says in my sidebar, the vegan lifestyle is devoid of murder, cruelty, speciesism, and contribution to the rape the dairy industry exists from. 

Beyond that? Veganism is the cleanest way to live (besides raw veganism, but that’s a step I cannot take yet). All the dairy you consume contains an incredible amount of fat, drugs, and not to mention byproducts you don’t want to be consuming (pus, blood, radiation from Japan…) the list goes on. I don’t want that in my body at all. We’re not meant to digest dairy or flesh - why do you think like 90% of the population of the world is lactose intolerant to some degree? That’s an insane amount. 

See my Dairy, Milk, Meat, and Animal Cruelty tags for more reasons why I’m vegan.
