Guys, we have to put a stop on development.

I just moved here from NJ following an early retirement from my hedge fund to so that I can live intentionally and raise my three kids (Birch, Beck, and Forest). We have a small 4000 sq ft homestead on ten acres of failed dairy farm in Charlotte. I drive a Volvo EX90 electric, have solar, a tesla power wall, two labs (coco and namaste), 2 llamas, 3 sheep, and just love being green and holistic. My life partner runs a naturopathic clinic treating the underserved.

Shameless plug for my partner, but they/them/flatlander also specialize in chronic Lyme disease, vitamin infusions, and they/them/flatlander are proud to accept your tax dollars (medicaid) at their evidence free naturopathic farm stand clinic. Be sure to stop by for raw milk milkshakes on Fridays!

Anyway, please join me in in our grassroots lawsuit against the proposed wind turbine development, we will also be meeting this Friday at town hall to discuss diversity, defunding the police, gender norms, and a petition to block the local volunteer fire department from installing a Verizon tower that will colocate a repeater for fire and EMS dispatch.

Keep Vermont Green!

It’s not hard to write like this when you grew up in VT and then left for 20 years as and adult before returning. It’s basically a composite of several people I knew growing up. Also, those kids names are all real, they were all peers.

Yeah, I was having trouble following the layers of irony, but I think they are shitting on nonbinary people, which really isn't cool.

This is spot on and hilarious.

FWIW, I'm from NH and we have this shit happening here too. Look at this About page for a farm in my town:

https://www.brasenhillfarm.com/about

Note: these folks paid over $1m for this farm. When they bought it they couldn't have been older than 25. He's a woodworker and she's a rabbit breeder--while pursuing a PHD in education. They went to private schools, etc. etc.

PS I'm loving all the downvotes! It reminds me a bit of someone I knew of who while at Woodstock high school had the bumper sticker "Nuke the gay baby whales". It drove the teachers crazy and they tried to block him from having this sticker (apparently the teachers didn't really know that much about the 1st amendment...).

Neither were they scholars of the Greeks (“If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation").

He prevailed in antagonizing them...
