What happened to Zoos? What happened in the 70s? What is happening with Covidmania right now?
Butternut soup flavored with turmeric, ginger, and Kashmiri chili topped with bacon and fennel fronds. I added cream and a 16 oz ball jar of homemade lamb broth in the Vitamix after roasting the whole butternut in the oven at 375F for an hour.
Not everything is black and white, but some things are, often neatly summarized as “don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff.” For me, it all boils down to bodily autonomy and self-ownership.
No one, not even the government during a “public health emergency,” has a superior claim to my body.
Years ago, I bought Louis this decorative owl. We can hardly ever see it, but today, because of the snow, we can.
Similarly, Covidmania allowed me to see many things clearly.
You are being ruled by a criminal class hellbent on furthering their own interests. You do not matter to them. You are in an abusive relationship.
What do we tell people to do when they’re being abused?
Withdraw consent and walk away.
I’m grateful to have “walked” to where I belong. In the Free State of New Hampshire, with thousands upon thousands of fellow pioneers building a better future based on consent.
Only YOU have the power to decide about YOU, about your mind, your body and your spirit.
Free yourself of fear and find yourself contrasted for everyone to see. Reflect your light.
PS: TIL that female Cardinals have red under-wings.
Had an incredible experience last night at the Indigenous Dinner at Independence Inn. The five course meal, set at community tables in the inn’s charming front Tea Room, was delicious from the first bite to the last crumb.
We kicked off the evening with a light salad, followed by fish cakes, mussels in an earthy mushroom broth, a turkey leg–yes, half of mine needed to come home because, as you know, I was coming off a 5 day fast, and I was definitely getting stuffed–but somehow I managed to save room for the fluffy British scone-like blueberry fritter topped with clotted cream. Ended the meal with a house-blended herbal tea, Live Free and Chai, honeybush tea with notes of cinnamon, cloves, cardamon, and more.
What a wonderful evening! Saw old friends, and made new ones! (Click on the photos to see the full menu.)
YOU can get the same experience on 2/4. (Sadly, this conflicts with Porcupine Day–get YOUR tix today!)
Even if you can’t make a special night like this, check out the Eatery anytime they’re open–everything I’ve eaten there has been delish! Chef Stephen Nass is an important addition to the New Hampshire food scene, and I can’t wait to see what he does next!
Today is DAY FIVE of my first FAST of 2023.
Goal for 2023: Fast 5 days once per month, which ends up being 2 months no eating by the end of year. TWO MONTHS of not eating! Wow!
Why? Save money, free time, great energy, and SUPER GOOD FOR YOU: Autophagy! Recycle old cells! (Pic from yesterday: No makeup, no filter, I turn 51 next month.)
This is my 4th or 5th 5 day fast. I generally eat low carb, whole foods & avoid sugar & seed oils. Worked my way up over past 18 months, so if this is something YOU want for GREATER HEALTH, start with regular IF (intermittent fasting), then 24hrs, 3 day, 5 day. I did a week once but 5-day works best for me.
I do water and black tea and coffee. In past, have added homemade broth Day 4/5 but didn’t need it this time. Electrolytes x2 for foot cramping. Breaking tonight at Indigenous Dinner w/this menu.
Pro-tip: I planned to go to this dinner w/friends bc sometimes the urge to keep going–Louis Calitz & I can get competitive–causes stress towards the end, “should we/shouldn’t we?”. Now there’s a “hard stop” built-in.
I’ll be writing more about my fasting journey this year. Follow along, and feel free to ask questions! Greater health is there for the taking… you just have to want it enough!
Building good habits and replacing bad ones takes time. How are you spending yours? <—Number One thing to assess if you’re SEEKING changes in your life <—Why you need to be journaling! 😉
One of the things I love about social media is how it captures our memories! I also believe this feature is contributing to rising censorship. It’s a lot harder to lie to people when we can juxtapose clips side by side over the years, and show the falsehoods, hysteria, lies and hypocrisy for what it is: A sham and scam. For example: climate change claims stemming from the 1970s that still haven’t materialized.

Below, we have a Facebook memory from 6 years ago. If you want to learn more about the voices in my head, and how I healed myself, start HERE.
How aware are YOU of your own self-talk? Have you identified the voices in your head? Friends or foes? For me, identifying, and learning to disregard the meanies in my head, was a massive step towards restoring my mental balance. If you suffer from stress, anxiety, negative self-talk, or other mental issues, you can HEAL. But it starts with making YOURSELF YOUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY, and regrouping from head-to-toe: your habits, your diet, your family, your friends, your exercise and self-care routines. If you want to get better, here’s the first thing to internalize: Be selfish. It’s okay, in fact, it’s the best thing you can do for yourself, and society at-large.
Yep, I said it: BEING SELFISH should be your #1 goal!
Next, we have a classic meme from 2012: The Philosoraptor! Here he is asking a valid question about marijuana prohibition. How people tolerate the illegality of a plant they want to consume is beyond me! How can Nature be illegal? Surely the people who deem it so are evil? Only Control Freaks, the most evil of evil people (those who think they own others or “know better”), would come up with a plan that legalizes alcohol, A NEUROTOXIN that rots your brain, and ban something for which you have receptors in your body. Philosoraptor gave me plenty of shareable memes over the years, and I even made a few myself. One of mine I can remember? “230 Million in Democide? Worth the Roads?”
I’m giving them hell on Twitter, even if no one can see! I was so shadow-banned, I don’t even show up on the lists of being shadow-banned, but then there was that one glorious week after Elon took over where my engagement went up 150% and I got 1,000+ new followers, then I said Fauci should hang, got suspended for a week, and now, well, it’s a slog again…
ICYMI, the storm in the teacup for the past 2 weeks was banning gas stoves. I posted the pic below on my Insta A DAY BEFORE JOE ROGAN. Ahem.
Finally, a bonus memory from 13 years ago, because then and always, and even now, in my Fifties, I will forever make unicorn jokes!

Quick Freedomnomnom post: Cauliflower fried rice! Great quick weekday meal.
You need: leftover meat (I used steak), packet of frozen cauli-rice, 2 eggs, some veg (I used shallot, leek, fennel, minced garlic/ginger & jalapeño), coconut fat, tamari, and a wok.
Heat oil in wok & add veg, starting w/minced garlic & ginger, stirring occasionally until lightly brown. In small bowl, whisk together eggs w/fork. Add cauli-rice to wok & stir 2 mins. Add eggs & scramble mix for 1-2 mins. Lastly add meat and stir. Add splash of tamari, season with salt & pepper, make sure everything is heated through, i.e. taste test, and serve. Enjoy!
