Nobody Dead-Named Paul 01.11.2022

Send a text Dead-naming! Divine wrath! A bit of casual blasphemy! John and I talked so much on this topic and of course there was about 45 minutes of stuff I couldn’t even use because I suck at technology.

Chicken Soup Lifestyle 01.09.2022

Send a text Honestly it's possible this episode was just an excuse for me to say "butts" a lot. Books: Folks, This Ain’t Normal, by Joel Salatin. He’s written a bunch but this is the one I read and it ranges over a very broad swath of subjects.  The Art of War, by Sun Tzu. I bet we’ll be revisiting this bad boy soon.
