New bracelets are up in the shop! TheOrneryShepherd on Etsy #resist #knitting #knittersagainstfascism

They're just SO pretty. (New sprinkle colorways in our Bulky weight 🧶) Find em at theorneryshepherd on etsy! #gulfcoastnativewool #skysheep #farmfresh #buylocal

If the old man wants caramel corn, the old man gets caramel corn. He's about 100 in people-years, and he's been a trash panda the entire time, so why get weird about it now? 🤷🏼 #notanalmondmom

I once requested that a giant anteater take the left fork in the trail, and it politely did so (I was eating my lunch on the ground in the middle of the right fork). When in doubt, I always try to be courteous with wildlife. 😊 #peoplehoweverareawholeotherstory #farmsky

I'll take "Not What I Needed Before my 2nd Cup of Coffee this Morning" for $1000, Alex. Good thing I still have those awesome Amazonian-rainy-season-mud skills. 😏

Some shots from my last day at the Gwinnett Fair! 🐑 I'm loving our new GA Sheep sign 🐑 The "Petting Zoo" was a hit once more this year, as was my Diversity in Ag shirt 🐑 Pixie wheel was such a champ & always a crowd favorite 🧶 #countyfair #gasheep #pettingzoo #agisntjustforoldwhiteguys

Had a great time helping out with the fleece judging at the Gwinnett County Fair yesterday. There were some real beauties!! #gasheep #gawool #gwinnettfair #skysheep #gulfcoastnativewool

Figured that some of y'all might need a dose of Emotional Support Lewis after this sh!tshow of a week. And, yes -- he eats his daily noms out of a Publix bakery frosting bucket. We're fancy like that. #emotionalsupport #momentofzen #farmlife

Apparently, that local hay slaps. 😏 #skysheep #gulfcoastnativesheep

Rosalie REALLY enjoys her job (protecting the 🐑🐑🐑 & her boyfriend 🐐 Lewis & her BFF 🐶 Bella). #workingdog #skydog #dogsky

It's not political to think people shouldn't be starved to death.

WGBH building in Boston today

The view from my window. 🦌#hellofren

I mean, it has been a while since I read the Bible, but I don't remember the part where Jesus says, "F*ck you. I got mine.". 🤷🏼

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

Lady Bird always enjoys a cool, refreshing treat when she knows it's gonna be a HOT one. #heatwave #skysheep #sheepsky #gulfcoastnativesheep #backyardgarden 🧶

Here's the thing re: our system of gov't. The president isn't above other branches. He doesn't "own" the gov't or the nation. Our constitutional system of checks & balances is to insure 1 person can't drag the nation to ruin We the People get to weigh in thru Congress. Except now. When we don't.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

He has to pay $2.3M.

You guys…..when Corey says it’s bad

Oh, ffs. We've had those in GA for ages. Y'all'll survive. 🙄

For the record: The Confederates fought a war against the United States to defend the institution of slavery. Period.

I'm not crying. You're crying. 🥹

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

🚨 Don’t let the USPS fall into privatizers’ hands. The Board of Governors is picking the next Postmaster General — tell them: NO privatizers! 📬 Take 30 seconds to act: #USMailNotForSale actionnetwork.org/letters/post...

Clearly, Walter has feelings for Clemmie that are not the same feelings that Clemmie has for Walter (which tonight can best be described as "What in the great googly moogly are you doing?"). #dogsky #catsky #dogsandcatslivingtogether

Tell me that you used to live in Ecuador, without telling me that you used to live in Ecuador. #alljugoallthetime #tomatedearbol

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

What goes up, apparently comes down on a gate... again. 🤬 Hurricane Helene took out a 12 footer, so this is our 2nd crushed gate within a year. An expensive habit for Mother Nature.

Thank you to all of the fine folks who came out to the SEFAA Fiber Flea Market yesterday!! I sold lots of stuff, got to see tons of old friends & make oodles of new ones. There are SO many talented fiber artists in our area. I ♥️ it. 😁🧶🧵🪡

Another rainy day. Another hay buffet. #gulfcoastsheep #imabivalentabouttheweatherrightnow

Shout out to all of my sisters out there, putting in a hard day's work with their phone in their bra -- because while phones get bigger every year, women's pockets (even those in "work" pants) continue to be a fucking joke. #sweaty #farming

All Job Corps centers will be fully paused by June 30, 2025. The impact of the pause has already been felt across the country, with tens of thousands of students being sent home from their programs. www.localmemphis.com/article/life...

That moment you realize that you've been using the 4-wheeler all afternoon and apparently accidentally kidnapped somebody's kids. 😳(!) (We **immediately** went back to where it had been parked. Mama has been tending them diligently ever since. ♥️)

I'll have lots of fiber-y goodness. 😁 If you're in the ATL area next Sat, c'mon by!!

RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women. Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent. @deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:

“Decades of political science research show that societies that are open & pluralistic, w/ high levels of both individual & political rights, are more prosperous, more peaceful & more effective than autocracies that are closed and stagnant.” Winners of poli sci top prize speak out.

It's dinner time here in Atl, and we're grateful we do NOT need to worry about a thick gray patch of dead tissue slowly growing in our throats and strangling us. That's diphtheria. Can’t breathe. Can’t swallow. Definitely can't eat 🐔wings. We don’t see diphtheria in the U.S. Thanks, vaccines 💉

Sometimes I have to remind myself that my "not exciting" wips are actually very cool. This is a Barley DK hat, made from my handspun, from a roving dye-test I did, from wool grown by my Gulf Coast Native sheep. It's so soft, I keep rubbing it on my cheek like a woobie. #showmeyourknits

None of us on the farm are huge fans of fireworks. #cortisol

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Miss Tallulah's been down t' the Beauty School to get her hairs done. She thinks it makes her look younger (she's been flirtin' with the bag boys down at the Piggly Wiggly, again 🙄). #sheep #farming #progressivefarmer

Congrats, everyone.
