Y’all this was soooooooo much fun!!!

I love ranching, my lifestyle, my animals, but that warm and fuzzy feeling I had about the whole thing is gone. It's really sad.

One of the biggest regrets of my life is talking about mental health in agriculture on that podcast. It put me in the crosshair of agriculture so when I started talking about 'isms in ag, I became a target. I lost my love for the industry and the people in it.

When social media thinks you are a man, it treats you nicer.

Watching my local cattlewomen group fold because they couldn’t get new members was sad. I read an article last night where other ag groups are having trouble getting new membership. (Sarcasm font:) I just can’t imagine why? modernfarmer.com/2019/12/opinio…

Me: Agriculture, a mainly white, male industry has a sexism, racism problem. Agriculture: Well it's your attitude. If you didn't point that out, we'd like you. Me: ..... Agriculture: Yep, YOUR attitude. If you "behaved" everything would be fine

I had a cow step on my toe today and I'm pretty sure it's broken or the nail is coming off because I've been dry heaving from the pain of walking since it happened. I'm being very precious

It's been a minute since I made waves on agtwitter for my stance that sexism exists in agriculture. I think 2017/18 was the heyday? Little baby ag nuggets are still mad over it. I'm jealous that I am still in their heads after all that has happened since then.

I'm getting a lot of resources to help be a caregiver. My Mom is now getting in house support. Things are getting better for both of us. The thought of caring for both my parents this winter, alone, scared me. I would have broke. I think Dad knew that.

Facebook is messing with the memories feature and I am livid. That's my favorite thing about facebook.

As a writer, I feel it's my obligation to write a good obit for my Dad. But he really never cared about that aspect of my life and didn't want one. We loved each other, deeply, but our relationship was so difficult. Navigating his post life has been very hard.

I miss the twitter of before times. This used to be my safe place. I still mourn for it. Especially when I am going through it.

I cannot believe how much my life has changed so quickly.

For my Dad's 65th birthday I made him a jar of 65 individual good memories I had with him. So he could have a good memory every day for 65 days. He threw them away without reading them. But I saved them knowing after he died, I would cherish them. I'm glad I did.

Palomino mules exist. I've started my mule fund. I need one. Or five.

So that is why people say Megan Brown Land and Cattle instead of Megan Brown Ranches and Cattle. I'm late to this party.

I just had to google the plural of ranch because I now own multiple ranches. How weird is that?

masking is a simple political statement in a world that isn’t listening.

@offgridteacher there is a core group of people I miss so much! You included of course

@MegRaeB I miss seeing you and so many others around, and spend my time mostly off social media now.

I kinda "quit" twitter a while ago. There are so many things I miss. But it's also a lot more peaceful for me. For a long while this community was so important to me. But also super toxic. Remember 2017 ag twitter?
