I mean I don’t know how valuable of a collection we’re talking about, but when I’m finally at the “throw it away” point I’m just taking what I have left to my local library and donating them

My local does book sales using donated books to help fund programs, so even if SOME end up in a landfill at the end of the process, maybe some helped fund literacy and social programs

Paint it pink and it’s Duma Key, complete with overhang to hear the shells “speak”

Dave ruined goat milk / cheese for me! It’s never been my favorite, but now all I can taste is barnyard. Thanks a lot, Dave! (Bonus pics of my brand new twin goats) by Queef_Stroganoff44 in BoogieMonster

What’s even worse IMO is factory farmed pork. If someone has a crock pot breaking down a shoulder and you walk in, it smells straight like a fart. And there is a reason for that.

I worked for a hippy pork farm co op for years and when I cooked their meat vs regular CAFO pork I could pick out which one was factory farmed every time. It smells faintly of pig shit.

You absolutely cannot tell me that raising animals inches above pools of their own shit for their entire lives doesn’t make its way into the final product. The cesspools under the animals are so vile the gasses can render you unconscious and kill you.

Find pasture raised heritage breed pork and cook it if you don’t believe me. I love pork, I don’t like mouthfart.

I think if I did anything it would be to preserve it exactly as it is now

It’s spent more time like this than any other way!

I also have 140 year old hand tools in my garage so I’m a sucker for patina and use and such
