@OOrtizDuarte Mine do need to tote a book literally everywhere and I find them at the table, in the bathroom, in the van, in their beds, etc...

You can tell which children have lived in books. They don’t need constant noise. They don’t rush to the next thing. They’ve learned how to stay.

@WAPFLondon My husband was filling out a health survey and it asked, "how many servings of unhealthy trans fats and saturated fats do you have a week? Eg red meat" 🤣

Your daily reminder that food fried in fresh saturated fats, e.g. beef dripping or coconut oil are beneficial and provide children nutrients that help them thrive. It is the processed seed oils that made fried food bad. Make fried food healthy again, use saturated fats.

@WestonAPrice It's good you're trying to give credit, I think it belongs to @SamaHoole . RevealedEye whoever that is might be plagiarizing. Sama Hoole's stuff is great though, right?

Cows have been unfairly vilified, folks! We recommend animal products from cows raised on pasture, which is their natural diet. The entire animal from nose to tail. Activist: "The water usage for beef is obscene. Thousands of litres per kilogram." Farmer: "That's rainfall." Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The figure includes all the rain that falls on the pasture. The cows drink from the stream. The rain falls whether there's a cow here or not." Activist: "It's still water consumption." Farmer: "Should I stop the rain falling on my field?" Activist: "Grow crops instead. More efficient." Farmer: "This is a 35-degree slope in the Welsh hills. Show me the crop." Activist: "Technology..." Farmer: "To make tractors climb mountains?" Activist: "There must be a solution." Farmer: "There is. It's called a cow."

@ZubyMusic Working out can improve personality? I gotta get on that.

I'm pretty sure that if I hadn't been going to the gym regularly for the past 20+ years, I'd be a significantly different (worse) person in all aspects.

@SamaHoole 😮

Every February, 70% of the commercial honey bees in the United States, roughly two million colonies, are loaded onto lorries and driven to California. They are going to pollinate the almonds. 80% of the world's almonds come from one valley in California. Over 1.3 million acres of nothing but almond trees, blooming for three weeks in monoculture, requiring more pollinators than the state can produce on its own. So the bees are trucked in from every corner of the country. Florida. New York. Montana. The bees are fed sugar water for the journey because their own honey has been removed to lighten the load. They arrive in the Central Valley to a landscape that is, for three weeks, pink and white blossom, and for the other forty-nine weeks of the year, dead. Nothing to eat. No forage. No diversity. Just almond trees and bare dirt, sprayed regularly with fungicides and insecticides that were deemed bee-safe in adult bees but turn out to be lethal to larvae when combined. In February 2025, commercial beekeepers reported the worst die-off on record. Around 60% of commercial honey bee colonies in the United States dead in a single pollination season. Financial losses estimated well over $139 million. Some beekeepers lost 90 to 100% of their colonies. The almonds are marketed as plant-based. Clean. Ethical. The preferred alternative. The preferred alternative requires the single largest managed pollination event in human history and it is quietly killing the pollinators faster than they can be replaced. Every glass of almond milk is, statistically, a small contribution to the largest pollinator die-off on record. This is not in the advertising.

@OldHollowTree *raises hand*

Do…do all my followers on here homeschool?! 😳

@goodreads Where the Red Fern Grows

Share a book that made you cry.

@LadyHollowTree I *think* you're right, since it looks different than my house finches, but my book leaves me even more confused 😅

Purple finches* stopped by the feeder this morning. Always good to see that color. *I think this is a purple finch based on the color suffused throughout the breast but I have a hard time telling the difference between these guys and house finches. If someone can confirm one way or another, that’d be great!

@SamaHoole Talk to me about polyphenols.

You know why kids hate the bitter taste of vegetables? It's because they aren't designed to be eaten. They're completely lacking in bioavailable nutrition and contain toxic pesticides. 99.99% of those pesticides coming from the plant's own defences. Vegetables are a scam.

Vegetables are not superfoods. They are the dietary equivalent of a participation trophy: present at every meal, given enormous credit, and quietly underdelivering on almost every metric that matters. The nutrients people cite: iron, calcium, magnesium, are bound inside plant cells in forms that your gut absorbs at a fraction of the rate you'd get from meat. Spinach iron. Kale calcium. Beautiful numbers on paper. Functionally approximate to eating the paper. Then there are the pesticides. UK vegetables are sprayed an average of seventeen times before they reach your plate. Not once. Seventeen. The organic option costs three times the price and gives you instead a different set of compounds the plant produced to deter the insects eating it. The plant does not want to be eaten. It has opinions about this, expressed chemically. Oxalates. Lectins. Phytates. Glucosinolates. These are not obscure biochemistry: they are the reason some people's joint pain, bloating, brain fog, and skin issues disappear when they stop eating the foods everyone told them were healing them. Here's what actually works: put the vegetable through a cow. Let a ruminant with four stomachs and 50 million years of evolutionary adaptation handle the antinutrients, detoxify the lectins, concentrate the minerals into bioavailable form, and hand you back something your cells actually recognise. The cow did the work. The vegetables were the raw material. Eat accordingly.

@OldHollowTree I'm a midwesterner and those pictures make me yearn. The pictures that show you've been buried in snow for the last four months? 😆 not so much.

There has been a lot of Japanese love expressed for cowboy culture, BBQ, and Texas today. Are there nice Japanese people who yearn for quiet New England?

That homeschooling urge to be done for the year every time a nice day comes along but it's only March 😭

@SamaHoole They wouldn't let me feed my daughter a keto formula because "ketogenic diet hasn't been studied for children with brain cancer." It doesn't matter I guess, the treatment killed her, no evidence of cancer in the end.

Your body runs on two fuels. Glucose and ketones. Every cell in your body can run on either. With one exception. Cancer cells have damaged mitochondria. Damaged mitochondria cannot process ketones. They run primarily on glucose, and to a lesser extent on glutamine, but ketones are off the menu entirely. This is called the Warburg Effect. It has been observed, documented, and replicated across multiple cancer types for nearly a century. PET scans, the imaging technology used to locate tumours, work by injecting radioactive glucose and watching where it concentrates. The glucose concentrates in the tumours. Because the tumours are consuming glucose at an accelerated rate. Because their broken mitochondria leave them almost no other choice. The PET scan works because cancer loves glucose. The dietitian recommending complex carbohydrates to cancer patients has had a PET scan explained to them. These two facts exist in the same hospital. On the same floor. They have not been introduced to each other.

@AHomelyHouse I was thinking of this song 😊 they often come to Iowa Irish Fest, I try to go when I can.

Dan from Scythian is a friend of ours; y'all should come see them play if you get the chance.

Do people make great ballads for their native regions anymore? youtube.com/watch?v=lfXMJd…

@silvopasturist Aw man I liked him

Anyone know @natureschoolstartup guy? Seems to be gone from X. I owed him some money for some Tom Brown Jr books and lagged in payment because my American banking got identity thefted for a while. Need to find an address for him…

@SamaHoole Is it possible to produce all of USA's beef needs regeneratively? I know you're UK, but thought maybe you'd know as a crossover interest.

"I avoid beef for environmental reasons." Their lunch: almond milk flat white, avocado from Peru, quinoa from Bolivia, blueberries from Chile, almond-based yoghurt. Almonds: California's Central Valley. Approximately 1.1 gallons of water per nut. The almond industry has been implicated in the collapse of managed bee populations: the almond monoculture requires approximately 1.8 million commercial hives annually, and the losses are, according to beekeepers, genuinely catastrophic. The avocado: Mexico's Michoacán region, where avocado farming has driven illegal deforestation in areas previously managed by indigenous communities. The cow down the road: ate the grass behind the hedge. Drank the rainwater. Will be processed twelve miles away. The food miles comparison is not the one the almond milk drinker thinks it is. The moral geography of this situation is not straightforward. The person pointing at cattle has not done the full audit. I'd invite them to do the full audit.
