This is exactly the kind of American hero I want my sons to look up to in the future. A believer, a fighter, an achiever, a dreamer and someone who gives back once they've made their way. She deserves this.
I thought pimping children was something the Dems do. Maybe rethink talking about your sons that way. Wow.
Thank you for being willing to learn and change your position. I am a mother to two sons who are not vaccinated OR circumcised. I did my research prior to having children and my kids are 100% healthy. No asthma, no allergies, no ADD, no autism spectrum disorder, no illnesses. My mother is a nurse and her whole career was spent injecting children. My brother is the COO of a huge health center that runs vaccine clinics. Needless to say, it is hard for us to discuss vaccines because they work within the vaccine industry. Neither of them has done even a fraction of the research that I have. It's worrisome the amount of trust people put into people who truly don't know the harm they are causing.
Same but husband. He has had me in tears so many times calling me crazy. It amazes me because he is the grandson of the commander of the Ghost Army and comes from a long line of military men but he's all 'woke' and as much as it pains me as a former liberal I will lead my family and defend my sons from this shit. Covid woke me tf up and I've changed entirely. Now he makes fun of me for buying extra food like I'm a madwoman but I'm just trying to shore up resources so my kids are ok if shtf. If we can't get on the same page I'm going home to my dad's farm. There are men in my family who wouldn't balk at gun ownership and keep shoving their head in the sand as our liberties are take away. At some point marriages have to take a backseat to survival.
It's Native. Two-spirit means a person who identifies as both. I have a gay native friend who explained it to me that way. In their culture, two-spirit people were not shamed but held a certain place in society. As a woman, I assumed that 'two-spirit' just meant a gay man who existed between the male and female divide.
I keep powdered coconut milk because I find it more palatable. Almond milk, oat milk and rice milk are easy to make yourself if you're so inclined. Animal products in and of themselves are not the best for long term storage so for my family I tend to stock things like dried beans and grains, dried peppers for chile broth, nuts and seeds, oats, barley. If you don't know how to cook from scratch now is an excellent time to learn. I keep sourdough starter, ginger bug, kefir grains and a kombucha scoby in my fridge so I can make yogurt/kefir, homemade sodas, fermented tea and bread/pancakes at any point in the future on little notice for pennies. I keep a stash of flip top bottles and can brew my own beer as well. For me it's not just about not starving it's having the ability to keep my family healthy on cheap foods and knowing how to make old-fashioned bone broth and cultivated foods will do exactly that.
What constitutes 'stocked up'? I have teenage boys and it's insanely hard to keep food in the house as it is but I have a stash of dried beans, rice, quinoa, barley and lentils and a pantry with a million spices, dried chilis, extra cooking oils and canned goods. I imagine we could last two months before everything was gone. I keep a whole beef tenderloin and a pork shoulder plus some chicken, frozen blocks of cheese and butter and a corned beef in the freezer at all times but otherwise I don't have a ton of space. I ferment foods and have the skills to make a meal out of anything but besides adding extra jars of honey and sardines to my pantry I'm out of ideas for what to store away for a rainy day. I do keep masa and flour in bulk for making my own bread and tortillas, and I make sure to always have lots of yeast on hand so if push came to shove I can count on being able to bake. I just worry that if there's a food shortage I will be grossly unprepared since I'm feeding three big guys plus myself and it's hard to know what will be of the most value to store when space is an issue.
Metamorphosis. Transformation. "See you on the other side" could just mean that the experience will change you. I don't know that they planned for people to die but I do know that the first hand accounts I've heard all say it was extremely dark energy, trance-like and 'demonic'. I thought it was really tasteless that the Washington Post published an article two days after the concert that said Astroworld solidified Travis Scott's status as an A-lister. Not an article about what a tragedy it was, instead their take was that he has made it as a star. It's all super creepy.
